This Wednesday is the hottest day in the Exeter Medieval Studies calendar, when we&#8217;ll welcome Julia Crick to deliver the 2026 Orme Lecture, teased in <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/2026\/03\/16\/staffing-the-conquest-the-2026-orme-lecture\/\">last week&#8217;s blog post<\/a> and with attendance now bookable via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/staffing-the-norman-conquest-nicholas-orme-public-lecture-2026-tickets-1985286235573?aff=oddtdtcreator\">Eventbrite<\/a>. An important part of the celebrations for the Feast of Orme (as it&#8217;s colloquially known) is the Postgraduate Symposium, which sees PhD students from the Centre sharing their ongoing work. This year&#8217;s symposium will take place at 2pm (on Wednesday 25th March, obviously!) in <strong>Amory Building, room 128<\/strong>, and all are warmly invited to attend. The speakers &#8212; Clementine Pursey, Aymeric Lamy, and Shunran Tu &#8212; have kindly provided abstracts, which we&#8217;re sharing on the blog this week as a preview of what to expect.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/experts.exeter.ac.uk\/44549-clementine-pursey\">Clementine Pursey<\/a>, &#8216;Nun-Fiction: Literary Lessons at Lacock Abbey&#8217;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most English monasteries, the library of Lacock Abbey is now almost entirely lost, with only one collection of literature surviving. Rediscovered in 2011, USA, Beinecke Library, Osborn a56 contains four Anglo-Norman texts copied in the same early-fourteenth century hand. As the only known versions of these works from an English nunnery, the codex offers a rare opportunity to consider how female audiences engaged with them. This paper focuses on the first two texts: the\u00a0<em>Tretiz,\u00a0<\/em>a French verse vocabulary by Walter de Bibbesworth, and the\u00a0<em>Ordene de Chevalerie<\/em>, an anonymous poem in which a Christian knight instructs Saladin in chivalric and spiritual ideals. Despite their markedly different contents, this paper argues that these texts functioned together as instruments of behavioural guidance for women. While the\u00a0<em>Tretiz\u00a0<\/em>has been read primarily for its linguistic value, the\u00a0short narratives it uses to teach vocabulary could also model conduct for men and women in secular households. The\u00a0<em>Ordene,<\/em> by contrast, frames ideal Christian conduct through an explicitly masculine lens. By juxtaposing familiar domestic scenes with exoticized crusading encounters, the manuscript invites reflection on how the nuns\u2019 dual identities as women and monastics were shaped by external authors. More than passive educational tools, these texts reveal a desire for the nuns to participate actively in behavioural discourse through a prestige language accessible to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"596\" data-id=\"5971\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.18.59-1024x596.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.18.59-1024x596.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.18.59-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.18.59-768x447.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.18.59.png 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The opening to the Ordene de chevalerie in New Haven, Beinecke Library, MS Osborn a56, f. 42r.

While this genre\u2014chiefly produced and preserved within monasteries\u2014is often dismissed by historians of the English countryside for its reliance on hagiographic\u00a0<em>topoi<\/em>\u00a0and imitations, this paper argues that narratives depicting the eruption of the divine into the daily lives of local laypeople are historically significant. By applying recent methodology developed by historians of the Carolingian countryside and James C. Scott\u2019s framework of \u2018public\u2019 and \u2018hidden\u2019 transcripts to recurring miracles\u2014specifically those concerning the refusal to observe saints\u2019 feast days\u2014this study demonstrates how hagiography illuminates non-elite agency and the intensification of labour across the Norman Conquest. Ultimately, it suggests that a more inclusive reading of the evidence sheds light on the socio-economic and religious tensions occurring at the intersection of ecclesiastical authority and low-level lay resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" data-id=\"5973\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.25.54-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.25.54-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.25.54-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.25.54-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.25.54.png 1371w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Opening to the <em>Life of St. Rumwold of Buckingham<\/em> in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 9. f. 26v.

In Fitzstephen\u2019s narrative, Becket emerges as a paradigmatic truth-teller whose willingness to admonish royal authority forms a central element of his sanctity and moral authority. At the same time, the text portrays other clerics negotiating the risks of truthful speech within the royal court, revealing different strategies of counsel, rebuke, and political prudence. By reading Fitzstephen alongside contemporary reflections on counsel and kingship\u2014particularly those of John of Salisbury and Herbert of Bosham\u2014this paper explores how medieval writers conceptualised the ethical responsibility of advising rulers and the sanctity of political truth-telling. In doing so, it argues that hagiography provides an important perspective on the moral and political significance of speaking truth to power in the twelfth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" data-id=\"5975\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.32.55-1024x563.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.32.55-1024x563.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.32.55-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.32.55-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2026\/03\/Capture-decran-2026-03-23-a-10.32.55.png 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <em>Vita <\/em>in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Douce 287, f.3r.
