There must have been some composition between the two parties, and until 1338 we find St. Frideswide's in receipt of a rent of seven shillings from two Shops (see no. Which from the rental of 1328 we know to be the two shops under Burwoldscot Hall. The deeds of the Hospital throw no light on this matter, nor do they mention the fact that some of the shops facing the street were not acquired by the Hospital. Of the six shops that fronted High Street, the Hospital had only three. Beginning at the east there was a shop and solar, 13 feet wide according to the survey made in 1772, owned by the Hospital and always leased apart from the rest; then came the passage, 8 feet wide, which led to the Hall at the back; then a shop of New College, 12 feet wide, which on the first floor extended over the passage then two, shops, 20 feet wide, which were acquired by Magdalen in 1602 (see no. One of them having belonged once to St. Frideswide's; then two shops belonging to the Hospital, beneath a Chamber which was part of Broad gates.

A deed at Lincoln College says that it was bounded on the north at one part by Oliphant Hall, subsequently part of Lincoln, while deed no. 492 shows that in another part of its northern Side it was bounded in 1469 by Brasenose. The property was sold in 1736 under the Act Of 7 Geo. I, which allowed Colleges to sell tenements to the trustees of Doctor Radcliffe, and was by them transferred to Brasenose College.

Excerpt from A Cartulary of the Hospital of St. John the Baptist, Vol. 3 The Hospital of St. John, like many other hospitals, has left us no record of the way in which it came into being. In the case of a monastery there is usually little doubt when it was founded and who was the founder. It began with a foundation charter in which the founder was named and the first endowments were recited; and this deed was not likely to be forgotten, partly because it had to be shown to the Visitor whenever he made a Visitation of the house, and also for the reason that as the descendants of the founder had special privileges in connexion with the monastery, they would be interested in the preservation of the deed. Furthermore, in the case of a monastery, the laying of the foundation stone, the consecration of the abbey or priory church, and the institution of the first abbot or prior, were events of a kind to be recorded by contemporary chroniclers. But hospitals, many of which had no endowments but depended upon alms, might spring up or pass out of existence, and little notice be taken. This is the case with all the hospitals in Oxford. We know from a notice in the Hundred Rolls of Edward I that the Hospital of St. Bartholomew was founded by Henry I, but we do not know when it was founded or what endowments it received from the king. Of the hospital for lepers which existed on the north side of the church of St. Giles we know neither when it began nor when it ended; all we know is that it was in existence as early as the reign of Henry III and as late as 1390, and that in the next century the site was in the possession of University College.

This book seeks to address the journeying context of pilgrimage within the landscapes of Medieval Britain. Using four case studies, an interdisciplinary methodology developed by the author is applied to four different geographical and cultural areas of Britain to investigate the practicalities of travel along the Medieval road network.
One of the most unusual contributions to the crusading era was the idea of the leper knight - a response to the scourge of leprosy and the shortage of fighting men which beset the Latin kingdom in the twelfth century. The Order of St Lazarus, which saw the idea become a reality, founded establishments across Western Europe to provide essential support for its hospitaller and military vocations. This book explores the important contribution of the English branch of the order, which by 1300 managed a considerable estate from its chief preceptory at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. Time proved the English Lazarites to be both tough and tenacious, if not always preoccupied with the care of lepers. Following the fall of Acre in 1291 they endured a period of bitter internal conflict, only to emerge reformed and reinvigorated in the fifteenth century. Though these late medieval knights were very different from their twelfth-century predecessors, some ideologies lingered on, though subtly readapted to the requirements of a new age, until the order was finally suppressed by Henry VIII in 1544. The modern refoundation of the order, a charitable institution, dates from 1962. The book uses both documentary and archaeological evidence to provide the first ever account of this little-understood crusading order.DAVID MARCOMBE is Director of the Centre for Local History, University of Nottingham.
Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.
Hundreds of rural communities tasted political freedom in the Holy Roman Empire. For shorter or longer periods, villagers managed local affairs without subjection to territorial overlords. In this first book-length study, Beat Kümin focuses on the five case studies of Gochsheim and Sennfeld (in present-day Bavaria), Sulzbach and Soden (Hesse) and Gersau (Switzerland). Adopting a comparative perspective across the late medieval and early modern periods, the analysis of multiple sources reveals distinct extents of rural self-government, the forging of communalized confessions and an enduring attachment to the empire. Negotiating inner tensions as well as mounting centralization pressures, Reichsdörfer provide privileged insights into rural micro-political cultures while their stories resonate with resurgent desires for greater local autonomy in Europe today.
In World History as the History of Foundations, 3000 BCE to 1500 CE, Michael Borgolte investigates the origins and development of foundations from Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. In his survey foundations emerge not as mere legal institutions, but rather as “total social phenomena” which touch upon manifold aspects, including politics, the economy, art and religion of the cultures in which they emerged. Cross-cultural in its approach and the result of decades of research, this work represents by far the most comprehensive account of the history of foundations that has hitherto been published.
