| Abstract | Paper -a:
Surviving records of Fountains Abbey include two manuscripts which contain a miscellany of estate management information, particularly for the 14th century, including account rolls and manor court verdicts. Integrating details from the two sources begins to produce a composite picture of some the abbey's secular activity in the Pennine uplands.
Paper -b:
The way in which estates were built up, managed, and leased out all affect the routes and their development. Even on Cistercian estates, influences can vary. When property was leased out, direct contact with the mother house would be lost, yet the method of leasing Fountains' granges - with tenants acting as managers - meant that contact with Fountains was retained until the Dissolution.
Paper -c:
Although the story of the contested election of William FitzHerbert as Archbishop of York in 1142 has been much studied, its specifically Cistercian context of international networks merits a reassessment in the light of new interpretations of monastic friendship, international channels of communication and the role of the White Monks in the rhetoric of ideal prelates.
