Aristocratic Sociability and Monastic Patronage in Eleventh- and Early-Twelfth Century BrittanyEby, Regan January 2015 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Robin Fleming / My dissertation examines the local and personal meanings of reformed Benedictine monastic networks as they developed in Brittany. Between c.1000–1120, Brittany, like Western Europe as a whole, saw an efflorescence of Benedictine monasticism, driven by aristocrats donating property to Benedictine abbeys, and in Brittany, by foundations of priories dependent on Benedictine abbeys located elsewhere. Recent historians have noted that patronage of particular abbeys tended to move through social networks, with families supporting the same abbeys over space and time, and lower aristocrats choosing to support the abbeys favored by their lords. I interrogate these patterns, placing the relationships that connected individual aristocrats with particular abbeys at the center of my study. I begin by analyzing the nature of Breton aristocrats’ relationships with each other, and then reconstruct the social contexts in which they interacted with Benedictine monks and nuns. I examine foundations of priories, at their inception and as they developed over time; monastic vocations, and property disputes. I argue that monastic patrons typically encountered the monks or nuns they chose to support in the context of significant affective relationships. Moreover, I argue that those relationships shaped patrons’ perceptions of the monks and nuns they supported, and the meanings they attached to their patronage. In doing so, I offer a methodological framework for uncovering some of the affective content of aristocrats’ relationships with each other and with monks and nuns, which is otherwise difficult to extract from the limited evidence preserved in monastic charters. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2015. / Submitted to: Boston College.

The Emergence of the Individual in Eleventh and Twelfth Century Europe: Cistercians to CowboysCain, Elizabeth P. 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose and scope of this paper is to discuss the emergence of the individual in the eleventh and twelfth centuries in light of the societal changes occurring at the time, and to establish the fact that this beginning of individualism can be seen particularly in the arts of the time. The evidence presented gives rise to the supposition that the society of the eleventh and twelfth centuries can be defined as humanistic, given that humanism implies a concern with and a concentration upon life on earth as opposed to life in heaven.

Rethinking the CrusadesTheron, Jacques 01 1900 (has links)
The study focuses on the unique phenomenon of society’s changing attitudes towards the Crusades. Right from its inception the Crusades made a lasting impact on history, an impact which is still evident in the present day. Several aspects contributed to the start of the Crusades, among them the world and ideology of the eleventh century, the era in which the Crusades began.
In current times there have been calls demanding an apology for the Crusades, while at the same time some within Christianity have felt the need to apologise for the atrocities of the Crusades. The Crusades are often blamed for the animosity between Christians and Muslims, a situation worsened by the fact that leaders on both sides misuse the word ‘crusade’ for their own agendas.
The thesis is written within a historiographical framework making use of both critical enquiry and historical criticism. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M. Th. (Church history)

They Hasten toward Perfection: Virginal & Chaste Monks in the High Middle AgesCheatham, Karen 20 March 2012 (has links)
As perennial Christian ideals, virginity and chastity were frequent themes in medieval religious discourse. Male religious were frequently virgins and were expected to cultivate chastity; however, women not men were usually the focus of such discussions. But some monastic writers did draw on those models when considering their own spirituality, and it is worth knowing how they were understood and enlisted in those instances. To this end, I investigate five eleventh- and twelfth-century monks who wrote about monastic virginity or chastity: Anselm of Canterbury, Guibert of Nogent, Rupert of Deutz, Bernard of Clairvaux, and Ælred of Rievaulx. In my analysis, I uncover each author’s perception of virginity/chastity. Thus, I reveal that Anselm’s Deploratio is not about lost physical virginity or even sexual sin per se; it is a spiritual meditation driven by his immense fear that sinners would be forever damned. Guibert’s work exposes what a treatise on virginity could become in the hands of an adolescent struggling with sexual desire and steeped in lessons taught by his monastery. Rupert’s tract on virginity and masturbation portrays male virginity as tangible and potent. In so doing, it erects a barrier defending Rupert’s work as an exegete against detractors. For his part, Bernard teaches that what matters most is chaste humility. He also consistently links virginity with pride and false holiness, a strategy possibly linked with a battle between white and black monks. Finally, Ælred produces a model of monastic perfection that is terrifically masculine, distinctively different from virginity, and perfectly suited for his audience. In addition to uncovering each monk’s unique perception of virginity and chastity, I call attention to similarities and differences in their thought and make conclusions based on those observations. Overall, I have found not only that virginity and chastity did matter to some medieval religious men but also that the way they handle those ideals can be tremendously revealing.
