Dowry of Mary
Dowry of Mary (or Dowry of the Virgin, Our Lady's Dowry, and similar variations) is a title used in Catholic contexts to refer to England.〔Womersley, David (2010), ''Divinity and State'', Oxford University Press, p. 16. ISBN 978-0-19-925564-1〕〔Nichols, Vincent et al. ''Firmly I Believe and Truly: The Spiritual Tradition of Catholic England'' (2011), Oxford University Press, p. 21. ISBN 978-0-19-929122-9〕〔Cummings, Brian et al. (2010), ''Cultural Reformations: Medieval and Renaissance in Literary History'', Oxford University Press, p. 117. ISBN 978-0-19-921248-4〕
==Early use==
The title originated in the Medieval period, when devotion to the Virgin Mary in England was particularly strong.〔Bogle, Joanna (1992), ''A Book of Feasts and Seasons'', Gracewing, p. 159. ISBN 978-0-85244-217-3〕〔McNally, Terrence J. (2009), ''What Every Catholic Should Know About Mary'', Xlibris, p. 76. ISBN 978-1-4415-1051-8〕 It was believed that England belonged in some special way to Mary, who was seen as the country's "protectress" and who through her powers of intercession acted as the country's defender or guardian.〔Saul, Nigel (2011), ''For Honour and Fame: Chivalry in England, 1066-1500'', Random House, p. 208. ISBN 978-1-84792-052-2.〕 Though the title's precise origin is unknown, it had become widespread by the middle of the fourteenth century, and around the year 1350 a mendicant preacher stated in a sermon that "it is commonly said that the land of England is the Virgin's dowry".〔 Around fifty years later, Archbishop Thomas Arundel, discussing Mary and the Incarnation, wrote that "we English, being ... her own Dowry, as we are commonly called, ought to surpass others in the fervour of our praises and devotions".〔Boss, Sarah (2004), ''Mary'', Continuum International Publishing Group, p. 118. ISBN 978-0-8264-5788-2〕 By the reign of Henry V, the title ''dos Mariae'', "dowry of Mary", was being applied to England in Latin texts〔Hilton, Lisa (2009), ''Queens Consort: England's Medieval Queens'', Phoenix Books, ISBN 978-0-7538-2611-9〕 and according to chronicler Thomas Elmham English priests sought the intercession of "the Virgin, protectress of her dower" on the eve of the Battle of Agincourt.〔Saul, Nigel (2011), ''For Honour and Fame: Chivalry in England, 1066-1500'', Random House, p. 209. ISBN 978-1-84792-052-2.〕
