Excerpt from Raleghana, Vol. 4: Sir Henry De Ralegh, Knight, Ob. 1301
The subject of the present paper relates to a member of the Ralegh family who died in 1301, and whose effigy is believed to be one still preserved in the Cathedral of Exeter. Owing to inaccurate description, doubts have been raised as to the date of the spture, thereby affecting its assigned identity. Again, for want of a proper examina tion of various documents, believed to refer to the person represented by the effigy, conflicting statements have been made as to the place where the body of Sir Henry de Ralegh was interred; and also whether the sptured representation in the cathedral be a cenotaph or not. The object of this paper is to throw as much light as possible on each of these points, and this necessitates its diion into two distinct portions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores a medieval dispute that erupted over the burial rights of Sir Henry de Ralegh, a knight who died in 1301. The incident sparked a bitter quarrel between the Dean and Chapter of Exeter Cathedral and the Dominican Friars, with accusations of theft, sacrilege, and violence. The author presents a detailed account of the ensuing proceedings, drawing from various historical documents, including transcripts from the Chapter library and municipal records. By examining the motives and actions of both parties, the book not only sheds light on the specific case but also provides insights into the complex relationship between religious and secular authorities in medieval England. The author's research unveils the significance of the dispute, demonstrating how it reveals broader tensions surrounding the rights and privileges of the church and the growing influence of the friars.
