Abstract | This session considers different ways in which monastic memory was created, transmitted, and (ab)used in medieval Wales. The first paper aims to examine the dispute between the bishops of Hereford and St Davids and the Cistercian monks at Dore Abbey over which diocese their monastery lay within, considering the concept of 'national identity'. Paper two explores the role of memory in the creation of the history of Llanbadarn Fawr Priory, formerly a cell of Gloucester Abbey. The third paper explores exploring feelings towards monastic women in mid-Wales and how they were perceived by their contemporaries. |
