Undesirable Aliens in the Diocese of York
Placed as they are at the extreme outpost of Western Europe, the British Isles have been, over the centuries of their recorded history and probably for millennia before the Roman invasion, a melting-pot of peoples. R. G. Collingwood described them, correctly if unflatteringly, as an ethnic scrap-heap. As each new set of immigrants arrived they were scrutinised, assessed and usually heavily criticised by the resident population before being allowe…
Town Mice and Country Mice in the Province of York 1317–40
A few months after the end of the second world war a journalist, walking through the streets of devastated Hamburg, saw a girl come out of the basement of a bombed house. She was wearing a clean white tennis-dress and carrying a racquet, and as she picked her way through the piles of burnt-out rubble he pondered, as historians have often pondered before him, upon the remarkable capacity of people not only for surviving, but for continuing the ord…
Pure air and portentous heresy
Anyone who studies the works of those western historians who wrote contemporary chronicles of the first four crusades must surely be struck by one curious fact. Almost without exception, these writings show a complete lack of interest in the teachings and practices of any branch of the Christian church except that of the Roman west. The Nestorians and Jacobites whom the crusaders encountered in Syria aroused in them neither surprise nor interest,…
Holy kings – the bane of seventh-century society
In his recent and excellent book The Coming of Christianity Henry Mayr-Harting has some interesting things to say about lay society and the monastic ideal. Taking as his sources those two fundamental guides to seventh-century history, Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica and the Penitential of Theodore of Tarsus, he shows how the Christian pattern of holiness, as demonstrated especially in the monastic life, could be observed also in the lives of Bede’s…
Uncovenanted blessings of ecclesiastical records( presidentail address )
The theme of this volume has been defined as ‘the sources, materials and methods of ecclesiastical history’. After the illuminating, fruitful and often racy subjects which have been discussed in earlier volumes in this series, a theme such as this may at first sight appear to be sober to the point of dullness. I hope to show that it is not, and I make no excuse for presenting it. We are historians, knowing that the study of history is a complex a…
Belief and practice as illustrated by John XXII’s excommunication of Robert Bruce
The sentence of excommunication was the ultimate spiritual deterrent available to the medieval Church. It was designed to be completely terrifying, and to the devout mind it probably was. In theory, it cut the offender off not only from his hope of eternal salvation but, as many a person found to his cost, from all contacts which made mortal life bearable, or indeed possible. But theory, as father Logan has shown us, is not the same thing as prac…
