Cartularium Monasterii de Rameseia
  • Volume 2
  • Edited by William Henry Hart, Ponsonby A. Lyons
  • Published online:

    First published in:
    1886
  • Ramsey Abbey, Cambridgeshire, was founded in 969 and rapidly became of one the richest and most important Benedictine houses in the country. It was famous for its school and library, and a thriving market town grew up around it, despite its isolated position in the Fens. The cartulary contains a range of legal, financial and ecclesiastical documents dating from 974 to 1436, although the greater part was compiled in the fourteenth century. It is particularly important for the study of manorial and economic history (and the abbey's twelfth-century chronicle is also reissued in this series). This three-volume edition was published between 1884 and 1893. Volume 2 contains documents 230–509, although they are not arranged chronologically. They include extensive Latin rent rolls, as the abbey held property throughout East Anglia and in London, and Anglo-Saxon charters of Edward the Confessor. English side-notes to the text are provided throughout.

It includes material relating to the abbey's possessions in St Ives and throughout East Anglia, from the Pipe Rolls and other inquisitions as well as the cartulary. English side-notes to the Latin text and a comprehensive index to all three volumes are also provided.

The editors have also included material from other sources where relevant. Most items are in Latin, although there are some in Norman French and Anglo-Saxon.

    First published in:
    1867
  • The abbey of St Peter, which later became Gloucester Cathedral, had its origins in the seventh century and was re-established in the eleventh. It benefited considerably from Norman patronage, growing in importance, size and wealth. Henry III was crowned there in 1216, and it is where Edward II was buried. It subsequently became a place of pilgrimage, and received several benefactions from Edward III. Volume 3 of the abbey's records, edited by W. H. Hart and published in 1867, contains charters 909–1029, an appendix and glossary, and an index to the three volumes. There are detailed manorial extents dating from the 1260s, and an undated treatise on the management of manors. The volume ends with an assortment of legal and other documents from a range of dates, including sixteenth-century insertions. The cartulary is a valuable source of information on medieval manorial landholding in the West Country.

They are arranged by location, rather than date, and are a valuable source of information on manorial landholding in the West Country in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It is clear that St Peter's had become an extremely wealthy establishment by this time.

It benefited considerably from Norman patronage, growing in importance, size and wealth. Henry III was crowned there in 1216, and it is where Edward II was buried.

Hart and published in 1863, begins with a chronicle of the abbey's history from its foundation to the late fourteenth century. It also includes a comprehensive list of the lands held by the abbey. It is followed by the first 423 charters, arranged by location rather than date. The cartulary was compiled in the late thirteenth century, with some later insertions.
