Dalby Preceptory, also known as Dalby and Heather Preceptory, was a preceptory of the Knights Hospitaller, in the village of Old Dalby, Leicestershire, England. ==History== Land at Dalby was given to the Knights Hospitaller by Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester (1104 – 5 April 1168) in return for other land.〔('House of Knights Hospitallers: Preceptory of Dalby and Heather' ), A History of the County of Leicestershire: Volume 2 (1954), pp. 32-33. Date accessed: 16 June 2013〕 The Hospitallers are thought to have founded their preceptory on that land during the reign of King Henry II ''(reign 1154-1189)''; and it was definitely established before 1206.〔(DALBY HOSPITALLERS PRECEPTORY ), ''English Heritage: PastScape''.〕 Before 1199 the Hospitallers had gained lands at Isley Walton, Heather, Ravenstone and Swinford, as well as gaining the advowsons of the churches of Ashby Parva, Buckminster, Old Dalby and Swinford, before 1220.〔 Around 1338, Heather Preceptory came under the control of Dalby as a "camera", a lesser establishment dependent upon another. Heather preceptory was integrated with Dalby, the two then being referred to as the "Dalby and Heather Preceptory". Dalby seems to have taken the leading role, as it was where the joint preceptory was administered from and where the Preceptor was based.〔(HEATHER HOSPITALLERS PRECEPTORY ), ''English Heritage: PastScape''〕 Rothley Preceptory was similarly merged with Dalby before 1371.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dalby Preceptory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
