The Littlemore Priory scandals took place between 1517 and 1518. They involved accusations of sexual immorality and sometimes brutal violence among the Benedictine nuns and their prioress at St Nicholas' Priory in Littlemore (thus "Littlemore Priory"), in Oxfordshire, England. The priory was very small and poor, and had a history of troubled relations with its bishops, dating back to the mid-1400s. The scandal that came to light in 1517, however, became enough of a cause célèbre to contribute to the priory's eventual suppression in 1525. Katherine Wells, the prioress of Littlemore at that time, ran the priory with strict and often violent discipline. She was accused of regularly putting nuns in the stocks for extended periods, as well as physically assaulting them. She also had a baby by t

  • Les scandales du prieuré de Littlemore ont lieu entre 1517 et 1518. Il s'agit d'accusations d'immoralité sexuelle et parfois de violence brutale entre les moniales et la prieure de Littlemore, dans la paroisse civile d'Oxford, en Angleterre. Le prieuré bénédictin d'Oxfordshire, qui est très petit et pauvre, a une histoire tourmentée dans ses relations avec son évêque. Le scandale révélé en 1517 est cependant devenu une cause célèbre suffisante pour contribuer à la suppression du prieuré, en 1525. Katherine Wells, la prieure de Littlemore de l'époque, dirige le prieuré avec une discipline stricte et souvent violente. Elle est accusée d'humilier régulièrement des religieuses par l'emploi de carcans pendant de longues périodes, ainsi que de les agresser physiquement. Elle a aussi eu un bébé p (fr)

O priorado beneditino de Oxfordshire - que era muito pequeno e pobre - tinha uma história de relações conturbadas com seu , mas o escândalo que veio à luz em 1517 tornou-se uma causa célebre para contribuir para a eventual supressão do prior em 1525. Littlemore naquela época, Katherine Wells, dirigia o priorado com rígida - e frequentemente violenta - disciplina. Ela foi acusada de regularmente colocar freiras nos estoques por longos períodos, além de agredi-los fisicamente. Ela também teve um bebê pelo capelão do priorado e, como resultado, havia penhorado as jóias do priorado para pagar pela (pt)
