Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of Saint Ursula and Her Companions in Cologne: Its Memorials, Monuments and Curiosities As early as the second century, Christianity was spread over the Southern part of the British island. This part was subject to the Roman Empire; and by that means a connexion between it and Rome, the capital of Christianity was kept up, and thus the Gospel easily found its way from Rome to Britain. The Picts and Scots ho wever, the inhabitants of the northern part of the Island, still remained in infidelity. At the beginning of the century, nearly the whole population of the many small kingdoms into which the Southern part was divided were Chris tians. About the middle of the same century when the Romans had left Britain, the Christians of the Southern part were sorely oppressed by their infidel neighbours, the Picts and Scots. To resist these enemies they called in to their aid the anglo-saxons, a courageous but infidel people who inhabited the countries now called Holstein and Schleswig as far as J iitland. The warlike anglo-saxons came in bodies, and landed on the neighbouring British shore in the year 449. Victory crowned their efforts against the Picts and Scots whom they compelled to retire from the South of Britain. But when they had seen the beauty of that country as well as learnt its fertility, they began to covet, it for their own. Accorddingly they turned their arms against thosewho had called them over, and a terrible fate met the Christians of Southern Britain. Driven from their own homes, some fled to the West, some crossed the sea, whilst slavery became the lot of others. Many of the British Christians fled to the Continent, some to Batavia and some to Gaul expecting to find a safe asylum there amongst the Christians. Of those who went to Batavia many proceeded still further along the Rhine in order to seek refuge in the districts of the Lower Rhine which still enjoyed peace and tran quility unter the Roman government. In this way, they reachad Cologne, the old Roman colony. Amongst these British fugitives, there were many virgins whose fathers and brothers had been slain 1n the wars with the anglo-saxons. One of them of royal blood surpassed the rest in nobility of birth and intelligence as well as in piety and virtue. Her name was Ursula. She was the leader and model of her companions and seems to have been acknowledged and honoured by them as their head. In the Christian city of Cologne where the British fugitives were received with great kindness, the royal virgin was honoured and venerated by all, and she soon became to all the women and maidens there, as she had before been of her companions, their model and example.

Download or read book St Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgins of Cologne written by Scott Bradford Montgomery and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cult of St. Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgin Martyrs of Cologne was the most widespread relic cult in medieval Europe. The sheer abundance of relics of the Eleven Thousand Virgins, which allowed for the display of immense collections, shaped the notion of corporate cohesion that characterized the cult. Though the primacy of St. Ursula as the leader of this holy band was established by the tenth century, she was conceived as the head of a corporate body. Innumerable inventories and liturgical texts attest to the fact that this cult was commemorated and referenced as a collective mass - Undecim millium virginum. This group identity informed, and was formulated by, the presentation of their relics, as well as much of the imagery associated with this cult. This book explores the visual, textual, performative, and perceptual aspects of this phenomenon, with particular emphasis on painting and sculpture in late medieval Cologne. Examining the ways in which both texts and images worked as vestments, garbing the true core of relics which formed the body of the cult, the book examines the cult from the core outward, seeking to understand hagiographic texts and images in terms of their role in articulating relic cults.
