Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays offering a guide to a vital source for our knowledge of medieval England. The Inquisitions Post Mortem (IPMs) at the National Archives have been described as the single most important source for the study of landed society in later medieval England. Inquisitions were local enquiries into the lands heldby people of some status, in order to discover whatever income and rights were due to the crown on their death, and provide details both of the lands themselves and whoever held them. This book explores in detail for the first time the potential of IPMs as sources for economic, social and political history over the long fifteenth century, the period covered by this Companion. It looks at how they were made, how they were used, and their "accuracy", and develops our understanding of a source that is too often taken for granted; it answers questions such as what they sought to do, how they were compiled, and how reliable they are, while also exploring how they can best be usedfor economic, demographic, place-name, estate and other kinds of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This series pushes the boundaries of knowledge and develops new trends in approach and understanding." ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW As is appropriate in a volume honouring the distinguished scholarship in this field of Dr Rowena E. Archer, wealthy and influential ladies, most notably Alice Chaucer, duchess of Suffolk, take centre stage, alongside successive queens consort of the period, whose councils helped to implement justice. Alice's almshouse at Ewelme provides a fine example of the many institutions which offered care for the elderly in late medieval England, a period when Henry VII placed great emphasis on the burials of his kinsfolk, particularly in Westminster abbey, to ensure that their memory would endure. Pretenders to the throne of that king and his successor, who included Alice's grandson, bring into focus the riots of 1487 near the borders of Wales and portraits dating from the 1520s. Other themes of language (how Henry V employed English in France), law (the development of the concept of the body corporate) and taxation (levies imposed on imported wine) are added to an intriguing comparison of relations between English administrators and the nobility of Gascony with British imperialists and the princes of India.

Download or read book Patriarchy and Families of Privilege in Fifteenth Century England written by Joel T. Rosenthal and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1991-09-29 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are, contends Joel Rosenthal, two suppositions that have achieved almost full and unquestionable acceptance in contemporary social history and family studies. The first is that at any given time in any given culture one particular form or model of the family dominates; the second is that historical changes in the family operate in a single and compelling direction. In Patriarchy and Families of Privilege in Fifteenth-Century England, the author joins quantitative and legal evidence with case studies to yield a depiction of the family as something at once corporeal, fictive, and symbolic.

Download or read book The Nobility and Ecclesiastical Patronage in Thirteenth century England written by Elizabeth Gemmill and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While there has been work on the nobility as patrons of monasteries, this is the first real study of them as patrons of parish churches, and is thus the first study to tackle the subject as a whole. Illustrated with a wealth of detail, it will become an indispensable work of reference for those interested in lay patronage and the Church more generally in the middle ages." Professor David Carpenter, Department of History, King's College London This book provides the first full-length, integrated study of the ecclesiastical patronage rights of the nobility in medieval England. It examines the nature and extent of these rights, how they were used, why and for whom they were valuable, what challenges lay patrons faced, and how they looked to the future in making gifts to the Church. It takes as its focus the thirteenth century, a critical period for the survival and development of these rights, being a time of ambitious Church reform, of great change in patterns of land ownership in the ranks of the higher nobility, and of bold assertion by the English Crown of its claims to control Church property. The thirteenth century also saw a proliferation of record keeping on the part of kings, bishops and nobility, and the author uses new evidence from a range of documentary sources to explore the nature of the relationships between the English nobility, the Church and its clergy, a relationship in which patronage was the essential feature. Dr Elizabeth Gemmill is University Lecturer in Local History and Fellow of Kellogg College. University of Oxford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abstracts of the Inquisitiones Post Mortem, Vol. 3: Relating to Mottingbamshire; 1937 The Thoroton Society issued a volume of Notts. Inquisitions for a later period, 1485 to 1546, in 1905 ;and in 1914 one for the earliest period extant, 1279 to 1321. The present volume continues the latter to 1350, and it is hoped that the work can go on in a series of volumes until it joins up with that first printed. No other single class of records contains so much information for local history in the 14th and 15th centuries as the Inquisitiones Post Mortem and their fellows called "ad quod damnum" and those classified as "chancery" and "miscellaneous." Although entitled Notts. Inquisitiones Post Mortem, all classes are included in the present abstracts, thus providing as rich a mine of new material as possible, in which Nottinghamshire students may delve the ore each specially seeks. For not only genealogy is served, but topography, ecclesiology, agricultural history, economics, feudal tenures, jurisdictions and customs, village history and even natural history are illumined by the bright metal of information which he will refine from the ores he can quarry hereout. In passing, readers may be reminded that Inquisitions "post mortem" were the enquiries made on the death of a feudal tenant to find what land he held, by what tenure or service he held it, and who was his heir. Inquisitions "ad quod damnum" had to find what damage, if any, would be suffered by the Crown if a landowner was allowed to alienate his lands for such purposes as endowing a chantry, effecting a marriage settlement, or other objects, or by a sale under one disguise or another. It must be remembered that by proclamation of King William I after the Conquest the whole land of England, then forfeit by the sword, was declared the property of the sovereign - hence reversion to him by escheat, until Lord Birkenhead's revolutionary Real Property Act of 1926 - and that land could not be "sold" outright without the interests of the Crown as to rents and services being safeguarded - hence the Inquisitions "ad quod damnum"; nor could it be bequeathed by will, like chattels and personal property - hence the Inquisitions "post mortem" - to find and record who was the heir and by what services or chief rents the land was held.

Download or read book Social Memory in Late Medieval England written by Joel T. Rosenthal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and unique volume explores the vital relationship between testimony, memory, and the community in medieval society. Joel T. Rosenthal assembles various categories of testimonies to illuminate how “ordinary” Late Medieval people saw themselves as units of their community, their awareness of the issues surrounding the theater of birth, their interest in the world of and beyond the village, and what aspects of the ubiquitous mother Church were worth recalling. Supported by primary sources and by modern scholarly focus on such issues as social memory, village life, rumor and gossip, and demography, this book provides both a wealth of source material and insightful discussion on how historians can chart the role of memory and community in its shaping of medieval identity and society.
