Holy Warriors

The Religious Ideology of Chivalry

By: Richard W. Kaeuper

The medieval code of chivalry demanded that warrior elites demonstrate fierce courage in battle, display prowess with weaponry, and avenge any strike against their honor. They were also required to be devout Christians. How, then, could knights pledge fealty to the Prince of Peace, who enjoined the faithful to turn the other cheek rather than seek vengeance and who taught that the meek, rather than glorious fighters in tournaments, shall inherit the earth? By what logic and language was knighthood valorized? In Holy Warriors, Richard Kaeuper argues that while some clerics sanctified violence in defense of the Holy Church, others were sorely troubled by chivalric practices in everyday life. As elite laity, knights had theological ideas of their own. Soundly pious yet independent, knights proclaimed the validity of their bloody profession by selectively appropriating religious ideals. Their ideology emphasized meritorious suffering on campaign and in battle even as their violence enriched them and established their dominance. In a world of divinely ordained social orders, theirs was blessed, though many sensitive souls worried about the ultimate price of rapine and destruction. Kaeuper examines how these paradoxical chivalric ideals were spread in a vast corpus of literature from exempla and chansons de geste to romance. Through these works, both clerics and lay military elites claimed God's blessing for knighthood while avoiding the contradictions inherent in their fusion of chivalry with a religion that looked back to the Sermon on the Mount for its ethical foundation.

An Index to the Pedigrees and Arms Contained in the Heralds' Visitation

And Other Genealogical Manuscripts in the British Museum

By: Richard Sims

The Heralds' Visitations were compiled by a Commission under the Privy Seal issued to the two provincial Kings-of-Arms. The arms were recorded with the descents, marriages, and issue, and, hence, the Visitations contain the pedigrees of the landed proprietors of the time entitled to bear arms. Since the Heralds' Visitations are unindexed, Mr. Sims set about, in this work, to index all the names of persons having pedigrees and coats of arms in the principal manuscripts in the British Museum. The arrangement is alphabetical by county and thereunder alphabetical by surname, with persons of the same surname being distinguished from each other by reference to place of residence. References are given after each name to the exact number of the manuscript wherein the pedigrees and coats of arms are contained.
