Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the history of Monkton Farley Priory, a Benedictine monastery in Wiltshire, from its foundation in 1125 to its dissolution in 1537. It explores how the Priory's religious and secular roles were shaped by the political and social upheavals of the English Middle Ages, from the Norman Conquest to the Reformation. The author, a historian specializing in medieval England, examines the Priory's connections to the powerful Bohun family, its relationship with the French Clugniac order, and the impact of the Black Death and the Wars of the Roses on monastic life. The book also discusses the Priory's architectural remains, including the recently discovered tomb of Ilbert de Chat, providing insights into the artistic patronage of the Bohuns and their circle. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the complex and fascinating history of English monasticism, offering a valuable resource for scholars and general readers interested in medieval history, architecture, and religious life.
