I Discovered Such a Lay Force That I Could Not Remove Them”
In 1309, the parish church of Harewood in Yorkshire, England, was invaded by a group of armed parishioners opposing the decisions of the church courts. The story of this invasion and the ways in which Church and State attempted and failed to remove it demonstrate how an apparently local quarrel could be part of national political events and of the intertwining of the laws of Church and State. It also demonstrates, importantly, a largely overlooke…
By the Impression of My Seal’. Medieval Identity and Bureaucracy
This paper presents the results of a case study of wax seals dated between 1225 and 1250 from St Ethelbert’s Hospital, Hereford. When medieval matrices were impressed into soft wax, handprints were often left on the reverse of the seal. The use of modern forensic techniques to capture and compare these prints provides evidence about the process of sealing and its relationship to the individual matrix owner. Seals with the same print on the revers…
Robert Grosseteste, natural law and Magna Carta
This paper considers how the English episcopate's complaints (gravamina) of 1253 demonstrate one view of how the king's authority could be curbed through Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest. The gravamina were drafted by Robert Grosseteste, bishop of Lincoln 1235–1253, and declare that the king is ignoring universal, natural law and man-made common law. They reveal Grosseteste's own view of the relationship between justice and natural law a…
Robert Grosseteste and the simple benefice
That pastoral care was the main focus of Robert Grosseteste’s theological work and correspondence is well-established: Grosseteste is often characterised as the vehement, uncompromising promoter of the pastoral ideal in the face of strong opposition, ecclesiastical and lay. Less close attention has been paid to whether the records of his diocesan administration demonstrate the practical outworking of his pastoral theories. Although narrow in comp…
Church, state and law
This article considers jurisdictional conflict between church and state in the thirteenth century through the case of Roger, rector of Whitfield, a cleric abducted from his Tynedale cure. Considering this incident and Roger's attempts to gain redress it examines the jurisdictional tensions within the liberty of Tynedale, the resultant failure of the process of signification of excommunication and the use of the private petition. The petition is i…
The Cartulary of Byland Abbey
The Cartulary of Byland Abbey, ed. Janet Burton (Woodbridge: Boydell P., for the Surtees Soc., 2004; pp. lxxxiii + 492. £50). Dr Burton's expertise in editing and her knowledge of Yorkshire monastic history are well established, and this, her calendar of the late fourteenth/early fifteenth-century cartulary of Byland Abbey, reflects her considerable skill and knowledge in this area. The cartulary's text, including charters from the twelfth to the…
Diocesan Politics in the See of Worcester 1218–1266
The two bishops of Worcester between 1218 and 1266, William of Blois and Walter de Cantilupe, were in many ways very similar. Both were dedicated reformers, who made use of the cathedral chapter's churches for their own households for example. Yet their relationships with the monastic chapter of Worcester were very different. William's episcopate was marked by acrimony and dispute, Walter's by harmony and assent. The reasons for these differences…
