Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an insightful exploration of the historical significance of St. Awdrey's foundation in Ely, England. Set against the backdrop of seventh-century Anglo-Saxon Christianity, the author examines the life of Queen Etheldreda, whose piety and dedication led her to establish the Ely monastery. Through an analysis of medieval sources, including the 'Liber Eliensis,' the book sheds light on the role of women in early monasticism and the unique nature of Ely as a 'twin monastery' housing both monks and nuns under the Abbess's rule. The author explores themes of religious devotion, royal patronage, and the changing nature of monastic life, providing a nuanced understanding of this pivotal era in English history. This book offers a valuable contribution to our knowledge of medieval Christianity and the enduring legacy of St. Awdrey's foundation.
