Lacy of Pontefract

Legg inn av paul bulkley » 01 okt 2007 18:41:03

Janet Burton states that Hugh Lacy Abbot Selby
undertook construction of Selby Church (Benedictine)
- during the years 1097 to 1122.

It was one of the first stone structures - the
limestone quarried from Monk Fryston 8 miles distant -
the stone was conveyed by a special canal.

Chartulary of St John Pontefract states that Hugh Lacy
Abbot of Selby resigned 1123 possibly because of the
banishment of his brother Robert Lacy.

As a brother of Robert Lacy, his age 1123 would have
been about 60 - probably another reason to resign.

Does anyone know if Hugh Lacy had any children?

Thank you

Paul Bulkley

I though that Abbots were supposed to be be celibate?

W E Wightman, The Lacy Family in England and Normandy, 1066-1194, p 58
says: "It has been frequently stated that the abbot of Selby from
1096/7 to 1122/3 was Hugh de Lacy, son of Ilbert I. ..... There is no
medieval evidence that the surname of Abbot Hugh was 'de Lacy', even
though the introduction and the index in the published edition of the
Selby cartulary use it. The error can be traced to Burton, who
committed it for the first time in 1758 [J. Burton, Monastican
Eboracense, p 405]. Burton quoted as his authority Dugdale's
Monasticon, of nearly a century earlier, but Dugdale only called him
Abbot Hugh, with no surname -- and no pre-Reformation account adds any
surname either. Hugh de Lacy, as abbot of Selby, is undoubtedly an
eighteenth century promotion."

John
