Synopsis
Excerpt from Cartularium Abbathiaeæ De Rievalle: Ordinis Cisterciensis Fundatæ Anno MCXXXII
I know, of course, that this is not a conclusive consideration, and that, if dwelt upon too much, it might prove a very broken reed indeed to rest upon. But what is to me much more conclusive is that in the earliest and, undoubtedly, most authentic statements relative to Walter Espec we have, no mention is made of an heir that had been, but was gone, no possible or even latent suggestion that he had ever been a father. The account referred to is printed in the Monasticon (vi. And is headed, E Libello Alredi Rievallensis Abbatis, de Bello Standardico (lelandi Collect, vol. Ii.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of the Rievaulx Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in Yorkshire in the 12th century. The author meticulously examines the circumstances surrounding the Abbeyââ â¢s creation, challenging traditional narratives and exploring the motivations of its founder, Walter Espec. The book investigates the complex relationship between Rievaulx and the nearby Kirkham Priory, including an agreement for the Priory to cede lands to the Abbey, and the subsequent, controversial departure of Kirkham's Prior to found another Augustinian establishment. The author offers a fresh perspective on the motivations behind the founding of religious houses in medieval England, arguing that the story of Walter Espec's grief over the loss of his son, which is often cited as a key factor in the Abbey's creation, is likely a myth. Instead, the author suggests that the foundation of Rievaulx was driven by a more pragmatic desire to bring order and civilization to a wild and remote part of Yorkshire. The book provides a rich and detailed examination of the abbey's early history, revealing the interplay of political, religious, and social forces that shaped this iconic landmark. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331889618_0
