Melrose Abbey

Roxburghshire – Scotland

This looked like a great abbey, but I couldn’t get around it, and it was almost closing time, and we only just caught the light for these. Why? Because we were in a near by pub eating very yummy food!

Here is the website if you wana look for yourself. Also atm, the place is mostly closed for health and safety.

Below is my friend, Tia's, photos.

On 23rd of February 664, St Boisil, second prior of Melrose Abbey, died.

He followed St Aidan as prior and was succeeded by St Cuthbert. As is usual with ancient dates there is some dispute over when the Feast of St Boisil is celebrated. But in most early calendars, it was assigned to February 23rd.

Despite Cuthbert being the more well-known of the three, Boisil was ‘famous’ enough to have the Roxburghshire village of Saint Boswells named after him.

Boisil was originally based at a monastery at Lindisfarne, where a group of monks grew tired of life by the sea. In search of forgiveness for their tiresomeness, they travelled north along the River Tweed after convincing themselves that relocating would solve their problems, with Boisil one of them.

The group landed at ‘Old Mailros’ in Tweeddale, and acted as missionaries for the locals. Boisil became well known for his healing powers, impressing his fellow monks and the community alike.

Boisil became Prior, or Abbot of the Abbey at Old Mailros in 659, and healed his pupil Cuthbert who was struck down when a plague struck down the monastery’s inhabitants.

Incredibly, Boisil also foretold his own death - from a later outbreak of the plague. On his deathbed, he is said to have predicted Cuthbert’s rise to glory.

St Boisil was buried at Melrose Abbey but his relics were removed in 1030 and taken to Durham, where St Cuthbert is also interred.

The pics show Cuthbert's meeting with Boisil at Melrose.

The origins/meanings of the surnames of the T7S gang, explained.

Burkhart: German. From the medieval personal name Burkhard, "composed of the elements burg 'fort, castle' + hard 'hardy, brave, strong'."

Forman: English, with its predecessor Fuhrmann or Fohrman having earlier roots in North German. "Status name for a leader or spokesman for a group, from Middle English fore-man 'foreman, reeve' (from the Old English prefix fore- 'foremost' + mann 'man')."

Hyde: English. From the old English variable measure of land, known as hide (of land).

Kelso: Scottish (and English). Means "chalk ridge," and is a locational surname. The latter either comes from "the town of Kelso in Roxburghshire or an estate known as Kelsoland."

Pinciotti: Italian. The surname comes from the town of Teramo, in the Abruzzo region. "It comes probably from a regional word 'pincio' or 'pinco', which has different meanings and could indicate a silly person, too."

England 1334 Elizabeth Rothwell has dreams of falling in love, marrying, and living the rest of her life in Thornhill Castle. Her dreams soon seem to be destroyed when the Scottish Chieftain, Robert MacDiarmid arrives with a document that entitles him to her hand in marriage as well as the castle. While this is not the way Elizabeth envisioned her life would go, she has a deep abiding faith and believes it is God's will. Laird Robert MacDiarmid is a man on a mission. He's sworn vengeance on the man who is responsible for the deaths of his wife and infant son. To carry out his plans, Robert is forced to marry Elizabeth so that he can take over Thornhill Castle from the warrior priests. Because of the way the Scottish people have suffered and the deaths of his loved ones, Robert is convinced that if there's a God, then He's forsaken him, and for that Robert will never forgive Him.

So, I have questions.

What warrior priests? The best I can think of is the Templars, and they were disbanded in 1312.

Even in England in 1334 there was at least required some sort of pretence that everyone involved was into getting married - "Do you, Elizabeth Forcedintothis, take Robert McVengeanceismylife as your husband?" "Nope." "But what about his document?" "I couldn't give a tiny fuck about his document." "Not even-" "Nope. Get out of my castle. Take Robert with you." "But-!" "OUT." "No, but listen-" "England controls most of Scotland right now, thanks to the Second War of Independence and Edward Balliol really wanting to be king of Scotland and Edward III agreeing to support him but only if he gives him Berwickshire, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Peebleshire, Dumfrieshire, East Lothian, Mid Lothian and West Lothian, so who do you think is going to pushing who around here, we could always ask King Edward - English King Edward that is - who is getting control of English castles, shall we ask him?" "FINE, DON'T GET MARRIED THEN!" "Bye!"

WHO ARE THE WARRIOR PRIESTS?!?!

Honestly, they sound WAY more interesting than Robert McVengeanceface and Elizabeth Ilovemycastle!
