Abstract | This session will examine monastic houses of Regular Canons following the Rule of St Augustine both at their foundation and in their maturity. The session considers particular houses in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Cheshire and elsewhere across the North of England. The papers focus on the dynamics of religious foundation, lordship, and family networks as well as the role of royal and ecclesiastical authorities and noble families. During the early decades of establishment Augustinian monasteries developed and maintained spiritual affinities and practical relationships that sometimes transcended patronal, diocesan and geographic boundaries. |
