‘Leger est aprendre mes fort est arendre’: wool, debt, and the dispersal of Pipewell Abbey (1280-1330)

It has long been known that English Cistercian monasteries often sold their wool in advance to foreign merchants in the late thirteenth century. The abbey of Pipewell in Northamptonshire features in a number of such contracts with Cahorsin merchants. This paper looks again at these contracts in the context of over 200 other such agreements found in the governmental records. Why did Pipewell descend into penury over this fifty year period? This case study demonstrates that the promise of ready cash for their most valuable commodity led such abbots to make ambitious agreements – taking on yet more debt to service existing creditors – that would lead to their eventual bankruptcy.

Opening the Frontier: The Gubbio-Perugia Frontier in the Course of History.

The frontier between Gubbio (ancient Umbria) and Perugia (ancient Etruria), in the northeast part of the modern region of Umbria, was founded in the late sixth century BC. The frontier endured in different forms, most notably in the late antique and medieval periods, as well as fleetingly in 1944, and is fossilized today in the local government boundaries. Archaeological, documentary and
philological evidence are brought together to investigate different scales of time that vary from millennia to single days in the representation of a frontier that captured a watershed of geological origins. The foundation of the frontier appears to have been a product of the active agency of the Etruscans, who projected new settlements across the Tiber in the course of the sixth century BC,
protected at the outer limit of their territory by the naturally defended farmstead of Col di Marzo. The immediate environs of the ancient abbey of Montelabate have been studied intensively by targeted, systematic and geophysical survey in conjunction with excavation, work that is still in progress. An overview of the development of the frontier is presented here, employing the data currently available.

Algunas notas sobre el papel de la mujer en Fontevraud y Santa María de Vega

Resumen: El papel relevante desempeñado por la mujer en la abadía real de Fontevraud y en el monasterio de Vega del Cea –priorato de aquellafue ¿síntoma o consecuencia? de un descubrimiento de la mujer en aquel siglo XII, pletórico de novedades, de raptos místicos, de nuevas formas de acercarse a la divinidad y de consecuentes reformas religiosas. En este trabajo esbozo algunas líneas interpretativas acerca de la hegemonía de la mujer sobre el hombre, superioridad que se hizo palpable en los dos cenobios estudiados, ejemplos de mutaciones que fueron interpretadas de forma desigual por los contemporáneos y por aquellos que más tarde abordaron el tema.
