 蒂奇伯恩-杜尔家族

Paul King

Tichborne Dole是一个古老的英国传统,至今仍然非常活跃。 它在汉普郡Alresford附近的Tichborne村举行,时间是每年3月25日的报喜节(女士节),可以追溯到13世纪。

马贝拉-蒂奇伯恩夫人因患消耗性疾病而致残,她在临终前要求她吝啬的丈夫罗杰爵士每年定期向有需要的人捐赠食物。 她的丈夫很不情愿,但在捐赠数量上达成了一个奇怪的协议。

罗杰爵士同意在火炬熄灭之前,他临终前的妻子能在所有土地上爬行的玉米。 马贝拉女士成功地在一块23英亩的土地上爬行,这块土地至今仍被称为 "爬行",它位于蒂奇伯恩公园的北部,在通往阿尔雷斯福德的公路旁。

Tichborne夫人要求她的丈夫和他的继承人将这块土地的产值永远捐给穷人。 但由于意识到她丈夫的吝啬性格,Mabella又加上了一个诅咒--如果停止发放救济金,那么这个家族就会有七个儿子出生,紧接着就是七个女儿,之后Tichborne的名字就会消亡,这个古老的家族就会陷入困境。毁灭。

在3月25日女士节发放面包的习俗持续了600多年,直到1796年,由于流浪汉和无业游民的滥用,治安官下令暂时停止发放。

然而,当地人还记得Tichborne传说的最后一部分和Tachborne夫人的诅咒。 不给救济金的惩罚将是一代七个女儿,家族的名字将消亡,古老的房子将倒塌。 1803年,房子的一部分确实倒塌了,当1821年继承男爵爵位的亨利-Tichborne爵士(其中一个)时,诅咒似乎已经应验。七个兄弟),生了七个女儿。

这一传统被匆忙地重新建立起来,并一直延续到今天。

亨利的侄子罗杰出生在多尔王朝复辟之前,他的弟弟阿尔弗雷德出生在复辟之后。 罗杰于1845年在海上失踪,20年后被不成功的Tichborne索赔人亚瑟-奥顿(文章顶部的照片)冒名顶替。 阿尔弗雷德是唯一一个在Tichborne夫人的诅咒中幸存的人,因此Tichborne的名字并没有消亡。

每年3月25日的女士节,教区牧师都会进行传统的Tichborne Dole祝福仪式,然后再将面粉分发给当地人--只有Tichborne、Cheriton和Lane End的家庭才有资格领取救济金。 他们每个成年人可以领取一加仑面粉,每个孩子可以领取半加仑。

圣母节本身就是为了纪念圣母玛利亚而庆祝的,因为这一天在圣诞节前九个月,是大天使加百列报喜的日子,她将生下基督。 在12世纪,圣母节被认为是一年中的第一天,并一直持续到1752年的官方日历变更。
