Thomas Prestbury
Thomas Prestbury ( Thomas de Prestbury and Thomas Shrewsbury) was an English medieval Benedictine abbot and university Chancellor. Origins Prestbury is thought to have been born in the mid-1340s. The estimate is based on the assumption that he was about 24 in 1370, the year of his ordination to the priesthood. There are many villages in England called Prestbury, but it is thought that of these the most likely place of birth would be Prestbury, Cheshire, near Macclesfield. Monk and academic Prestbury was ordained a subdeacon on 13 March 1367, marking the latest date he could have been admitted to Shrewsbury Abbey. He was made a deacon the following year on 3 June and a priest on 21 September 1370. He seems to have spent much of his early monastic career as a student. The general chapter of the English Benedictines had decreed that all abbeys maintain two monks at Oxford University during the 13th century. To achieve this Shrewsbury Abbey deployed funding from Wrockwardine par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
