After a general introduction, the reader is taken through the various stages of this history. Attention is given to the significant position of the Mount as both a religious and secular site, together with its speculated identity as the Ictis, or Mictis, documented by the Romans. Thomas Taylor (1858–1938) was a priest, historian and Celtic scholar who spent a large part of his life living and working in Cornwall. Combining historical rigour with engaging narrative, this volume reflects his fascination with the subject. It will be of value to anyone with an interest in British history, Cornish history and historiography.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e The Mount\u003cbr\u003e Ictis\u003cbr\u003e Religious history\u003cbr\u003e The Priors\u003cbr\u003e Humphry Arundell\u003cbr\u003e Pilgrimage\u003cbr\u003e The corody at the Mount\u003cbr\u003e Military and civil\u003cbr\u003e John de Vere, Earl of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e Perkin Warbeck\u003cbr\u003e Governors and receivers of the Mount\u003cbr\u003e Appendices I–IV\u003cbr\u003e General Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913287950616,"sku":"9780521137966","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521137966i_b7450019-ac32-465a-997c-12516de4f629.jpg?v=1691372280","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/saint-michaels-mount-paperback-9780521137966","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
