Anglo-Norman aristocratic patronage of Anglo-Saxon monasteries in
post-Conquest England examined. Although the Norman Conquest of
1066 swept away most of the secular and ecclesiastical leaders of
pre-Conquest England, it held some positive aspects for English
society, such as its effects on Anglo-Saxon monastic foundations,
which this study explores. The first part deals in depth with five
individual case studies (Abingdon, Gloucester, Bury St Edmunds, St
Albans and St Augustine's, Canterbury) as well as Fenland and other
houses, showing how despite mixed fortunes the major houses
survived to become the richest in England. The second part places
the experiences of the houses in the context of structural changes
in religious patronage as well as within the social and political
nexus of the Anglo-Norman realm. Dr Cownie analyses the pattern of
gifts to religious houses on both sides of the Channel, looking at
the reasons why they were made. EMMA COWNIE gained her Ph.D. from
the University of Wales at Cardiff.
