Malmesbury Abbey 670-1539

Patronage, Scholarship and Scandal

By: Tony McAleavy

The book tells the story of Malmesbury Abbey in Wiltshire from the time of Aldhelm in the late seventh century to the Dissolution in 1539, using the particularly rich sources that survive for the Abbey from throughout the Middle Ages. It is an institution which has, in different ways, a national significance. The community produced two eminent writers: Aldhelm and William of Malmesbury. The Abbey was chosen as the mausoleum of Æthelstan, first king of all England. It was the setting for the marriage in 1015 of Edmund Ironside in defiance of his father, Æthelred 'the Unready'. After the Conquest Malmesbury was patronised by Queen Matilda of Scotland, wife of Henry I. The future Henry II was present in 1153 when a massacre of monks and townsfolk took place in the Abbey church.Although royal patronage dried up after the twelfth century, the Abbey remained an important institution for the remainder of the Middle Ages. The community took the side of the king and the Despensers during the violent conflict between Edward II and his baronial opponents. Largely unexamined sources will be used to shed light on abbots such as William of Colerne who transformed the economic fortunes of the Abbey and John of Tintern who was accused by Wiltshire juries of terrorising the area by his many acts of criminality.n Edward II and his baronial opponents.
