Exploring Medieval Monasteries, part 7

In my last session, we looked at the life of a monastery. I started building at the end of the ninth grade. I'm sure you'll be fine. The monastic life of this monastery was not changed for 10 years. I'm playing a key role in what's happening to Dunstan. I'm not connected to you, I'm with your Archbishop of Canterbury. I've got an education. I'm going to take you to the University of Glastenbury. I'm not allowed to talk about Dŵr Athelstan. I'm not going to be interested in this. I'm going to make them new, and I'm going to make them new. I'm not trying to be a hypocrite. But Dunstan was afraid to come to your court. I'm not sure I'm ready to go. I'm going to Worcester. I'm the count of Aethelflaedd, and I'm the count of Dŵr Iwerddon. I'm from Dŵr Iwerddon. I'm talking about the men who were in Dŵr Iwerddon. But Aethelflaedd was afraid to come to Dŵr Athelstan. When Aethelstan comes, I'm afraid I'll have to come. The Dŵr Athelstan is not allowed to enter the country, I'm not counting your problems. I'm not talking about coming out. Something's going on. Now, in addition to the legend, I'd like to learn from you, This is my story, this is my legend, this is my story. The encyclopedia was published in 1913. I was going to go and get some food and drink at Ffordd Mendip. I was not allowed to come out of the room and follow the stage. In the digital age, the Cheddar industry is in a state of flux. I was walking through the room and I was following him. Edmund was about to come in and take me seriously. Then, when I saw your body in the middle of the night, I remembered what happened. o Dunstan ac yn yn concerns to make a change in his life I was afraid to come to Allan. I was very grateful to Gwyddon, "It's about coming to your room, it's about coming to Dunstan". And then, it was about coming to Blastonbury. In the room, I was just about to come out of the room. Then I was grateful to Dunstan, I was grateful to Allan for coming to my room. During that period, he was in contact with the public. I know your company Dynol and I'm an expert. Maybe Dunstan was afraid to come to Blastonbury and to go to Abertawe. I'm not sure I know you, but I'm not sure I know you. I'm coming to your room to use the Funt Benedict, which is obviously not Blastonbury. Mae Dunstan is also accredited with the International Council of Governments in Abertawe and Cymru. And then, I'd like to say that I'm a great man like you, and I'm a worcester native. You came from London and you're going to be in the Canterbury area. From 940 to 970, and 30 years later, some 30 new rooms, The majority of these are in the Midlands and the South. Abingdon in Berkshire, Muchelney in Somerset, Aynsham in Oxford, Cranbourne and Milton in the Dorset, in Devon, Exeter, Tavistock, Buckfast, Pershaw and Evesham in Worcester, Coventry, and the south of England. Winchcombe and Gloucester, St Albans, Peterborough and in East Anglia, Croyland, Peekirk, Ramsey, Ely, Bury St Edmunds, 30 foundations or re-foundations in 30 years. The rule of St. Benedict in their own way. And in 973 King Edgar held a great council. And the result is what was described as the Monastic Agreement and Monks The name of the church is now usually referred to as the "Nuns of the English Nation". I have a nice illustration here of King Edgar sitting between Dunstan and Bishop Aethelwold of Winchester. And this agreement is reached with the help of monks from Ghent So it's not particularly English, it's a copy of continental practice. The way in which the bishops were to be elected in England was different. The monastery and the abbot will come to dominate the episcopacy. The only thing that was settled by this document was that the rule of St. Benedict would be the only rule of law that would be applied to all the people of the world. And under the rule a monk's day was a day of rest. The time we get to the end of the 10th The main reason for this is that the labour market is becoming more and more dependent on the labour market. Since they are not bound to observe divine offices, they can Now if you become a lay brother, you enter the monastery, you will have your You will be fed, but you will leave your family behind, and they will work. I would like to ask the Commissioner whether he is prepared to take the necessary steps to ensure that the Commission's proposals are implemented. But generally they will be given Sunday off for prayer and worship. And a monk's life at this time is governed by an official set of prayers, readings, psalms, Usually known in the Catholic Church today as the liturgy of the In the past it has been called the canonical office or the divine office. In the Anglican tradition the daily office. Pius V, more recently by Vatican II. Well, you'll be woken by a bell for the first time The night office, usually referred to as Lords or Nocturnes, is the night office at either 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock. And you will go from the dormitory and enter the church choir and return via At 5 or 6 in the morning it will be The first light, followed by mass. You now change to your day shoes and then go about your You will be washed in cold water. This one may well be attended by any guests at the monastery or any locals, but they will be in the nave, they will not be in the choir At 9 o'clock the Abbot will preside over a meeting in the chapter house. There will be a reading of a chapter from the Rule of Benedict. By confessions, which the monks will do in public. And then the monks will get down to the daily business The abbey, the administrative bit. 10am, two hours for study and work. Two that might be in a scriptorium, for most it will be in the cloisters. The meeting will be held at noon on the sixth hour, and at 1 p.m. from a scripture or another appropriate source, otherwise the meal is eaten in silence. Over time, there's a rather elaborate sign language that develops. Sisters, at the ninth hour, at 3 p.m., you begin another two hours of study or work. Change your day shoes for your night shoes. So maybe bread, fruit, a glass of beer. 6pm, the last service of the day, complying. Now you notice that we have these seven services, and then in between The first is that the workplace is a place where people can learn and work. And in a typical monastery, the main jobs that people do At the top, of course, is the Abbot, the man with authority. He can be removed, but theoretically, they're elected and appointed for life. Abbot, in a large monastery, might be a prior to work as a kind of assistant. He's responsible for the maintenance of the abbey buildings, And he'll have an assistant, the assistant sacristan. be the man who has to ring the bell for the services during the day, the daily hours. There will be a priest's center to maintain the monastic library. A seller is responsible for the food, the drink, and fuel, and clothing, and outer property, the rent and revenue A cook, responsible for the quality of the food, The food is prepared in a simple way, and the food is prepared in a simple way. a hosteler to run the guesthouse, an infirmary in charge of the infirmary, and a beggar. To distribute food to the poor, deal with pilgrims arriving, deal with beggars knocking All these posts, they're known as obituaries. monastic activity, the late 10th century, continues with more standardized layouts. And a good example of monastic revival in the late Anglo-Saxon period is the monastery The town of Burton-on-Trent was re-founded around 1002. And we know it's a re-foundation from a very important document It's the will of Walfric Spot, an Anglo-Saxon nobleman. who endows the abbey at Burton, and endows it with extensive estates. And we know it's a re-foundation because The document states that Burton will be founded on which the monastery stands. Traditionally, an abbey was founded by St. Modwin in the 7th century, And by the time we get to 1066, something like 50 monasteries The monasteries never regained their former status. Compared to the monasteries, they are The Commission has already made a number of proposals to this effect. Now, 1066, getting to the Norman Conquest, and we're going to feel the impact then of a monastery founded at Cluny in Burgundy in 909. The first is that the newly-established Catholic Church was not a mere institution. The Commission has also been asked to draw up a report on the implementation of the new The European Parliament has also been asked to take a decision on the future of the European Union. The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a regulation on the back to stricter discipline, ascetic ideals, if you will. It became a mother house. It had linked foundations. They were all subordinate to the abbot at These subordinate foundations were priories under a prior. The order is a subsidiary of Cluny, and the order will be spread to England after the Norman Conquest, reporting from England to Cluny. And the surge of monastic activity we've seen The European Union is a country that has a very strong and dynamic economy.
