All who recognise the distinctive arms of Elizabeth de Burgh, #LadyOfClare, will be surprised to see a man in armour at #LeedsCastle bearing Clare family arms in a border she adopted after extinction of the male line. Meanwhile the horse wears... paisley? In her grandmother's castle, where fairies & dragons now also roam...

One day later, 27th March 1359, the statutes were ratified with seals of the Master & Fellows of #ClareCollege & the Chancellor of #CambridgeUniversity. The college seal commemorates the occasion, showing the statutes, which in turn mention the Master, Fellows, & seal.

#ClareCollege is celebrating its 700th anniversary. However it was #OTD 667 years ago, 26th March 1359, that Elizabeth #LadyofClare drew on decades of experience & signed the statutes. She wrote of education’s value to individuals & society, & her vision of one community of fellows & students, chosen on merit. Her principles & her language continue to inspire.

The patrons of Cambridge’s #14thCentury colleges (predecessors of Trinity College, plus Clare, Pembroke, Gonville, Trinity Hall & Corpus) were convinced of universities as a public good, persevering amid war & plague. The #LadyOfClare fought tyranny, & emphasized the importance of community in her statutes for #ClareCollege. Her friend #MarieDeStPol founded Chris Smith’s college, Pembroke. The intellectual, educational & social vision lives on. 🧵 15/15

Clare College Cambridge is celebrating its 700th anniversary with stories of 70 individuals spanning the centuries - 7 each month, wonderfully diverse.

@RichardAshwell In my mind's eye these are among the most beautiful rivers in the British Isles, as when #TinternAbbey was in its prime & the #LadyOfClare presided at #Usk. I hope they will be again.

Another shrine to Our Lady of Good Counsel is at #ClarePriory in England: established 777 years ago under the patronage of Richard de Clare & his wife Matilda; enlarged by his daughter-in-law Joan of Acre and granddaughter Elizabeth #LadyOfClare. The modern relief by Sister Concordia is based on the fresco at Genazzano. 🧵 2/2

@petergleick Adding a link to the UK equivalent, Hive, & an independent bookshop that I like to support:
https://www.hive.co.uk/Shops/Between-the-Lines-Great-Bardfield
- but if you can visit in person you will find additional books not available online, such as the new 'History of Great Bardfield' (with a chapter on its #14thCentury prosperity due to the #LadyOfClare). From personal experience, great conversations may ensue!

@simoninsuffolk.bsky.social Elizabeth de Burgh #LadyOfClare distributed food to the poor every year on St Gregory's Day, anniversary of the death of her third husband Roger Damory.

@simoninsuffolk.bsky.social Linking to https://virtualmuseum.sudburysuffolk.co.uk/recent-research/sudbury-the-lady-and-the-origins-of-market-hill/ for more on #14thCentury investment in the market & patronage of #Sudbury merchants by Elizabeth de Burgh #LadyOfClare, & the resultant town layout.

In her 1359 statutes for #ClareCollege Cambridge, the #LadyOfClare stipulated a schedule for religious services, including many "with notes"– illustrated here in the sumptuous breviary of her close friend #MarieDeStPol.

Aug 15th is the Feast of the Assumption. In 1358 the Lady of Clare celebrated with a banquet at her London townhouse; her guests were the Minoress community of Franciscan nuns, & 28-year old Prince Edward, later known as the Black Prince.
🎨 from artworks she would have seen: the altar frontal made for Blackfriars Thetford or Norwich, & the Breviary of Marie de St Pol.

In later life the #LadyOfClare built a townhouse next to the Minoresses outside Aldgate in London, & provided lavishly for her burial there. The 5-acre Minoress convent was a major institution until the Dissolution, but the only current traces are the streetnames of Minories & St Clare St. 🧵 4/

Marie's friend Elizabeth de Burgh, #LadyOfClare had a similar arrangement with Augustinian canons at nearby Anglesey: patronage, retreats, & comfortable accommodation. The ladies could visit each other while near Cambridge, where Elizabeth rescued #ClareCollege & Marie founded #PembrokeCollege. 🧵 3/

The feast of #CorpusChristi was a favourite of the #14thCentury #LadyOfClare; her household accounts variously record banquets & special dishes. She almost certainly contributed financially to the glorious #LadyChapel at #ElyCathedral - & would have enjoyed hearing the choir of #ClareCollege recording there.

Mills were an important source of income for the #14thCentury #LadyOfClare, who took an interest in design improvements. I wonder if she used imported volcanic rock like the #lava #millstone from #Mayen in this #medieval #windmill find?

@yvonne Thanks for that interesting article by Prof Joëlle Rollo-Koster, which draws attention to the documentary treasures in store for a new generation of historians while perhaps understating the wealth of evidence accumulated by her own!
The will of one famously independent woman in medieval England is available in the original French with translation & analysis on the resource page at https://barnes1.net/FHGE/

64lbs of costly candle wax was allocated to the #ClareCastle chapel for the feast of #Candlemas, a favourite of the #LadyOfClare, when light blazed in midwinter & candles were brought to be blessed.
She would have been familiar with this #CanterburyCathedral window depicting the Presentation of Christ in the Temple - very tall candles here!

@medieval_illuminations I was looking for images of medieval #bathing facilities recently, as the accounts of the #LadyOfClare tell us she installed a "stew", which I imagine as a bathroom with hot tub similar to the re-creation at #LeedsCastle. I saw several similar tubs, but no others shared with a dragon!
