dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to provide a new insight into the so-called anti-monastic reaction
which took place after King Edgar’s death in 975 by analysing all the available
evidence from fourteen different monasteries and bishoprics known to be affected
during this period. It has been usually thought that the anti-monastic reaction was
mainly caused by the politics of the period, but the present study argues that the
reaction was an act of opportunism. The actions of small landowners and the great
landowners are considered according to their contexts: both acted out of opportunism,
but the latter’s actions were also related to their personal bonds and interests. In order
to provide a broad background to this reaction, the developments in the tenth-century
England, mainly administrative and legal, are considered in this thesis as well and the
current consensus of the subject have also been addressed. Lastly, a brief comparison
between England, France and Germany is included in this thesis to see whether
similar reaction took place or not. | en_US |
