The Fifteenth Century Xvi: Examining Identity: 16 (The Fifteenth Century, 16) (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "The Fifteenth Century Xvi: Examining Identity: 16 (The Fifteenth Century, 16) (en Inglés)"
The vitality and diversity of research into the late medieval period are exemplified by the contents of this volume. A central theme is the medieval Church: examinations of the process of ordination, the parishioners of Dartford in Kent and the influence of their learned vicar, how monastic chroniclers changed their focus as the century progressed, the perhaps unjustified reputation of Bishop Ayscough of Salisbury, and the significance of Edward IV's charter of ecclesiastical liberties. Another strand concentrates on Ireland, to explore both the complex relations between the Gaelic-speaking peoples of the west and the Stewart monarchy in Scotland, and the status and participation in government of the English settled near Dublin. Unusual perspectives on London are derived from a study of those engaged in identity theft there at the start of the century, and two heralds' accounts of the public processions andelaborate funeral rites accorded to a French ambassador at its end.Contributors: Des Atkinson, Brian Coleman, Zosia Edwards, Simon Egan, Charles Giry-Deloison, Daniel Gosling, Samuel Lane, David Lepine, Claire MachtTable of ContentsChanges in Monastic Historical Writing Throughout the Long Fifteenth Century - Claire Macht'Such Great Merits': The Pastoral Influence of a Learned Resident Vicar, John Hornley of Dartford - David N LepineGetting Connected: the Medieval Ordinand and his Search for Titulus - Desmond AtkinsonThe Political Career of William Ayscough, Bishop of Salisbury, 1438-50 - Samuel LaneEdward IV's Charta de Libertatibus Clericorum - Daniel GoslingA Playground of the Scots?
