The life of a princess isn't all glamor, handsome princes, and beautiful clothes. It's also devotion to duty, sacrifice for your people, and a lot of just plain hard work. And if your country happens to suffer two world wars and a communist takeover in your lifetime, it means danger and suffering, exile and heartache as well. Princess Ileana of Romania endured all this and more. But her deeply rooted Orthodox faith saw her through it all, and eventually led her in her later years to the peaceful repose of monasticism. But that life included sacrifice and hard work as well, because as Mother Alexandra she was called to build the first English-language Orthodox women's monastery in the United States-the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. Princess Ileana's story is a thrilling tale of love and loss, danger and rescue, sacrifice and reward. Her inspiring life stands as a beacon of faith and holiness for young women of all times and nations to follow.

In examining the relationship between the royal monasteries in tenth- and eleventh-century Germany and the German monarchs, this book assimilates a great deal of European scholarship on a central problem - that of the realities and structures of power. It focuses on the practical aspects of governing without a capital and while constantly in motion, and on the payments and services which monasteries provided to the king and which in turn supported the king's travel economically and politically. Royal-monastic relations are investigated in the context of the 'itinerant kingship' of the period to determine how this relationship functioned in practice. It emerges that German rulers did in fact make much greater use of their royal monasteries than has hitherto been recognised.

This book traces the development of monasticism in England, Scotland and Wales from the last half century of Anglo-Saxon England to 1300. It explores the nature of the impact of the Norman settlement on monastic life, and how Britain responded to new, European ideas on monastic life. In particular, it examines Britain's response to the needs of religious women. It covers every aspect of the life and work of the religious orders: their daily life, the buildings in which they lived, their contribution to intellectual developments and to the economy. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between religious houses and their founders and patrons. This shows the degree of dependence of religious houses on local patrons. Indeed, one major theme which emerges from the book is the constant tension between the ideals of monastic communities and the demands of the world.

"Recent challenges to a once-dominant explanation of the Dissolution's origins, namely that associated with David Knowles' The Religious Orders in England, have left revisionist portraits of English monasticism untethered to any assumption of monasticism's spiritual decline. Monastic historiography here mirrors recent challenges to secularization theory. Whereas sociologists previously treated any decline in the administrative role of religious institutions as progressive, scholars are now more cautious to avoid teleological assumptions when studying changes in religious institutions' political influence. This dissertation, reacting to these two historiographic trends, offers a new approach to the changing relationship between monasticism and royal governance in the two centuries prior to the Dissolution (1536-1541). Specifically, it will 1. draw upon chancery records related to Augustinian, Benedictine, and Cistercian abbeys to relate monastic history to historiographic questions concerning the state of public order in late medieval England, and 2. analyze sermons and chronicles to identify the ideological relationships between royal and monastic authority. The resulting construct of monastic history obviates once-standard attempts to gauge monasticism's spiritual vitality, which have so often been indebted to assumptions of monasticism's spiritual decline or the inevitability of secularization. Instead, this study of monasticism's changing societal role offers a more rigorous approach to the historical relationship between religious discourse and its administrative, judicial, and political context"--Pages iii.

Normandy transformed from military power base of pagan Norse invaders to Christian political entity. The rulers of Normany performed a complex juggling act: starting from a pagan Norse military power base round Rouen, they built an accepted political entity within the boundaries of the Christian state their ancestors had invaded.Successfully reconciling Viking, Frankish and Breton elements within their realm, the Norman rulers created "one people out of the various races", in the words of one eleventh-century writer. As part of that effort, they revivedand reformed the monasteries in the region, enlisting the aid of prestigious abbots from reform centres beyond Normandy. By the early eleventh century, there was a consciousness within the region that a new people as well as a newprincipality had taken shape over the course of the past century. In this process of state-building and ethnogenesis, the revival and reform of monasticism played a crucial role. This book evaluates the relationship between Norman lords and monastic communities and demonstrates how that relationship contributed to the political and social evolution of the duchy. Through this regional focus, Monastic Revival and Regional Identity in Early Normandy adds to an understanding of the role monasticism played in tenth and eleventh-century European society, and, more broadly, in the formation of political and cultural entities in medieval Europe. The conclusions presented in this study are based on an analysis of published sources as well as over two hundred unpublished monastic charters located in Norman archives and libraries. Dr CASSANDRA POTTS teaches at Middlebury College.
