Abbess, Judge, Jailor: Authority and Imprisonment at Holy Trinity, Caen
View through CrossRef
The abbey of Holy Trinity, Caen, was founded by Mathilda of Flanders, Duchess of
Normandy and Queen of England, in June 1066. The abbesses of Holy Trinity are
the focus of this study, especially their judicial role and their power to
imprison. These rarely discussed aspects of women’s authority are
revealed in Manchester, John Rylands Library, GB 133 BMC/66. Produced in 1292 at
the meeting of the Exchequer at Rouen, the modest parchment reveals the
existence of a prison in Ouistreham, France, under the authority of the abbesses
of Holy Trinity. This article engages heretofore unexamined elements of female
abbatial authority, jurisdiction and the mechanisms of justice. The preservation
of BMC/66 also reflects the documentary imperatives of the women who governed
Holy Trinity and fits into a broader context of memory and documentary
culture.
