Description

Based on the particularly rich sources that survive the Abbey from throughout the Middle Ages. 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. 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.
