The nuns of Ballymore, Ireland, vanish from the historical record in the later fifteenth century. Previous scholarship on the house has adhered to an older view of medieval Cistercian women, suggesting that Ballymore\u2019s failure was due to enclosure and an inability on the nuns\u2019 part to manage their landholdings effectively. This article argues that both the foundation of the convent and its eventual disappearance owe more to political circumstances than to economic mismanagement: Ballymore was located on the border between Anglo-Irish and Gaelic-Irish areas, and the town was the caput of the de Lacys\u2019 Westmeath manor. As the Gaelic Irish lords experienced a resurgence in power, the fortunes of the de Lacys \u2014 and therefore the nuns of Ballymore whom they patronized \u2014 went into decline.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In May 1756, an elderly governess died in the household of the Duke and Duchess of Portland, and was quickly and quietly buried in the churchyard of St Margaret’s, Westminster. Elizabeth Elstob left behind no family and few mourners, just some rooms full of ‘books<\/em> and dirtiness<\/em>‘, as one visitor described them. Yet Elizabeth was a pioneer of medieval studies in England; in her youth, she became the first person to publish a grammar of Old English written in modern English, and would have accomplished much more if not for the restrictions which eighteenth-century society placed on women’s scholarship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
