Pope Joan Wikipedia. Pope Joan Ioannes Anglicus was, according to popular legend, a woman who reigned as pope for a few years during the Middle Ages. Her story first appeared in chronicles in the 1. Europe. The story was widely believed for centuries, but most modern scholars regard it as fictional. Most versions of her story describe her as a talented and learned woman who disguised herself as a man, often at the behest of a lover. In the most common accounts, due to her abilities, she rose through the church hierarchy and was eventually elected pope. Her sex was revealed when she gave birth during a procession, and she died shortly after, either through murder or natural causes. The accounts state that later church processions avoided this spot, and that the Vatican removed the female pope from its official lists and crafted a ritual to ensure that future popes were male. In the 1. Siena Cathedral featured a bust of Joan among other pontiffs this was removed after protests in 1. Jean de Maillys chronicle, written around 1. The most popular and influential version is that interpolated into Martin of Opavas Chronicon Pontificum et Imperatorum, later in the 1.

The Legendary Hole' title='The Legendary Hole' />Martin introduced details that the female popes birth name was John Anglicus of Mainz, that she reigned in the 9th century, and that she entered the church to follow her lover. The legend was universally accepted as true until the 1. Catholic and Protestant writers called the story into question various writers noted the implausibly long gap between Joans supposed lifetime and her first appearance in texts. Pope Joan is now widely accepted to be fictional, though the legend remains influential in art, literature, drama, and film. The earliest mention of the fictional female pope appears in the Dominican. Jean de Maillys chronicle of Metz, Chronica Universalis Mettensis, written in the early 1. In his telling, the female pope is not named, and the events are set in 1. According to Jean Query Concerning a certain Pope or rather female Pope, who is not set down in the list of popes or Bishops of Rome, because she was a woman who disguised herself as a man and became, by her character and talents, a curial secretary, then a Cardinal and finally Pope. One day, while mounting a horse, she gave birth to a child. Immediately, by Roman justice she was bound by the feet to a horses tail and dragged and stoned by the people for half a league, and, where she died, there she was buried, and at the place is written Petre, Pater Patrum, Papisse Prodito Partum Oh Peter, Father of Fathers, Betray the childbearing of the woman Pope.

However, the legend gained its greatest prominence when it appeared in the third recension edited revision of Martin of Opavas Chronicon Pontificum et Imperatorum later in the 1. This version, which may have been by Martin himself, is the first to attach a name to the figure, indicating that she was known as John Anglicus or John of Mainz. It also changes the date from the 1. Joan reigned between Leo IV and Benedict III in the 8. According to the Chronicon John Anglicus, born at Mainz, was Pope for two years, seven months and four days, and died in Rome, after which there was a vacancy in the Papacy of one month. It is claimed that this John was a woman, who as a girl had been led to Athens dressed in the clothes of a man by a certain lover of hers. There she became proficient in a diversity of branches of knowledge, until she had no equal, and, afterward in Rome, she taught the liberal arts and had great masters among her students and audience. A high opinion of her life and learning arose in the city and she was chosen for Pope. While Pope, however, she became pregnant by her companion. Through ignorance of the exact time when the birth was expected, she was delivered of a child while in procession from St. Peters to the Lateran, in a lane once named Via Sacra the sacred way but now known as the shunned street between the Colosseum and St Clements church. After her death, it is said she was buried in that same place. The Lord Pope always turns aside from the street, and it is believed by many that this is done because of abhorrence of the event. Nor is she placed on the list of the Holy Pontiffs, both because of her female sex and on account of the foulness of the matter. Martin of Opava, Chronicon Pontificum et Imperatorum. The Legendary Hole' title='The Legendary Hole' />One version of the Chronicon gives an alternative fate for the female pope. According to this, she did not die immediately after her exposure, but was confined and deposed, after which she did many years of penance. Her son from the affair eventually became Bishop of Ostia, and ordered her entombment in his cathedral when she died. Other references to the female pope are attributed to earlier writers, though none appears in manuscripts that predate the Chronicon.

The one most commonly cited is Anastasius Bibliothecarius d. Liber Pontificalis, who was a contemporary of the female Pope by the Chronicons dating. However, the story is found in only one unreliable manuscript of Anastasius. This manuscript, in the Vatican Library, bears the relevant passage inserted as a footnote at the bottom of a page. It is out of sequence, and in a different hand, one that dates from after the time of Martin of Opava. This witness to the female pope is likely to be based upon Martins account, and not a possible source for it. The same is true of Marianus Scotuss Chronicle of the Popes, a text written in the 1. Some of its manuscripts contain a brief mention of a female pope named Johanna the earliest source to attach to her the female form of the name, but all these manuscripts are later than Martins work. Earlier manuscripts do not contain the legend. Some versions of the legend suggest that subsequent popes were subjected to an examination whereby, having sat on a dung chair containing a hole called sedia stercoraria, a cardinal had to reach up and establish that the new pope had testicles, before announcing Duos habet et bene pendentes He has two, and they dangle nicely,1. There were associated legends as well. In the 1. 29. 0s, the Dominican. Robert of Uzs recounted a vision in which he saw the seat where, it is said, the pope is proved to be a man. Pope Joan has been associated with marvelous happenings. Petrarch 1. 30. 47. Chronica de le Vite de Pontefici et Imperadori Romani that after Pope Joan had been revealed as a woman.

Its a bit of a long shot but Im trying to find the name of a place I stayed at on Dartmoor for a training week in 1. Ive searched online and looked at all the bunkhouses and training centres but I cant find anything that matches my photos or memories of the place. Im pretty sure it was near to Princetown, as we went to the Plume of Feathers on two of the evenings to play bowls, but it was in the countryside and not the town. Ive added the appropriate photos below, including one of some boulders in the grounds and one of the bridge over a river that could be seen from the grounds. I know its not much to go on but I thought Id ask, as Im writing an article about it for my website the links in my signature if you want to check it out and would like to give it a name if possible. Thank you very much for any help you can give me. Kind Regards, Eileen. Hi Tim,Thank you very much for your reply and the info about Dartmoor Training Centre. I was amazed I didnt find that in my search, but then again I only keyed in hostels and bunkhouses it didnt occur to me to try training centres, so I expect thats why I didnt come across it. Im really chuffed to have a name for it now. Thanks once again. March 1. 6th 2. 01. Good afternoon.

I was wondering if I could interview at some point during May or June to discus the amazing levels of work and research that you undertake for Legendary Dartmoor I also have to mention that I am a long time fan of your website too, and a regular visitorBe great to meet up. Let me know how your fixedBest Regards Milly. February 2nd 2. 01. Hi Tim. Ive come across your website a few times whilst looking things up, and today I was delighted when doing a little research on snuff boxes made in silver from Wheal Betsy mine to come across the great information about Wheal Betsy and indeed a snuff box in New Zealand. I am a Trustee of the Mary Tavy Jubilee Group, a community and heritage charity for the village of Mary Tavy. We were recently contacted by someone who has acquired a Wheal Betsy snuff box and wanted to know if we had any information about them. Ive now found three references including yours with reference to a snuff box in New Zealand and one that was in Plymouth Museum, a recent auction which might be where the person acquired the snuff box and a recent mention in an Enterprise Fund document. Your information and photograph of the snuff box in New Zealand dates from ten years ago, but if you have any further information, or would be able to pass on the contact details, we would love to have it to help form our collection. We have got quite a good heritage collection and were just starting to put everything together, with the aim of making all our information freely available on the web and possibly forming a small museum in the future. So if you have any information at all relating to Mary Tavy that you would be able to copy to us we would be very grateful. Just to give you some background information on the Jubilee Group Im attaching our most recent Newsletter. Many thanks, Ali. January 3. 1st 2. Hi Tim. Thanks for linking to us re. Dartmoor Cream Tea Challenge, and nice website. Thanks, Sam. January 2. Hi Tim. I like your site, its very good and informative, however you misunderstand the reason for having Spanions under the bridges gates These are there to stop the stock from crossing from one common or new take onto another as at lower Cherrybrook Bridge and at Two Bridges If they were placed on the upstream side, any debris washing down the river would destroy them pretty easily, as it is they just lift out of the way when anything large is washed downstream. I hope this helps as your site is obviously trying to be as accurate as possible. Regards, Simon Butcher. January 1. 7th 2. Hello again, May I ask if there is any detail on the Pound at SpitchwickI have looked it up but there is a lack of detail on it one piece of info however says it is Iron Age Also, apparently, Leigh Tor, just up the hill is noted as a Causewayed Enclosure could there be a link Regards, Jowa.
