	Secret Societies of the Middle Ages Index
		This is Thomas Keightley's history of three secret societies of the Middle Ages: the Assassins, the Templars and the Fehmgerichte.
		The Assassins, a shadowy group based in a remote stateless area, practicing a radical variant of Islam, and promising their followers a reward in the hereafter if they died in battle, has obvious modern parallels.
		Of interest to contemporary readers will be Keightley's treatment of the Templars, an organization of crusaders who at their height controlled huge wealth and influence from the British Isles to the Holy Land.

	secret societies of teh middle ages
		Keightley does not shrink from describing the murders committed by the Assassins, but neither does he hide his admiration for the devotion and loyalty of the brotherhood.
		Keightley admits that they had become arrogant and decadent during the last days of the order's existence in the 14th century but, nevertheless, presents compelling evidence that their trial and subsequent dissolution was an unjust fraud.
		Keightley's study of the Fehm, or the Secret Tribunals of Westphalia, sheds light on a little- known group which helped to preserve order during a period of chaos and lawlessness in Germany in the 14th and 15th centuries.

	[No title]
		Thomas Augustine Arne, again, famous in days to come as Dr. Arne, was doubtless also at this date practising sedulously upon that "miserable cracked common flute," with which tradition avers he was wont to torment his school-fellows.
		Keightley has already observed, that Fielding is described in this entry as of East Stour, "which would seem to indicate that he still retained his property at that place;" and further, that his father is spoken of as a "brigadier-general," whereas (according to the _Gentleman's Magazine_) he had been made a major-general in December 1735.
		Keightley conjectures, that his chief occupation in the interval was studying law, and that he must have been living upon the residue of his wife's fortune or his own means, in which case the establishment of the above periodical may mark the exhaustion of his resources.

	Psychedelica Victoriana
		Keightley gives Welsh and Gaelic examples of traditional names for fungi which invoke elves and Puck, and at one point wonders if such names refer to “those pretty small delicate fungi, with their conical heads, which are named Fairy-mushrooms in Ireland, where they grow so plentifully”.
		This description is a very good match for the Liberty Cap; though Keightley seems unaware of its hallucinogenic properties; he was struck simply by the pixie-cap shape of its head.
		In Ireland, the Gaelic slang for mushrooms is ‘pookies’, which Keightley associated with the elemental nature spirit Pooka (hence Puck); it’s a slang term which persists in Irish drug culture today, although evidence for a pre-modern Gaelic magic mushroom culture is elusive.

	Faith and Folklore
		Keightley states that the great majority of men in cities are apt to pride themselves on their own exemption from 'superstition', and to smile pityingly at the poor countrymen and countrywomen who believe in fairies.
		Keightley then goes on to argue that all materialists who shun the spiritual realm have been city dwellers.

	Anomalies Article: The Green Children of Woolpit
		As mentioned above, Keightley's version of the Green Children story is simply a translation and re-presentation of the two earlier accounts, so he doesn't add anything new to the tale except for a notable mistake...
		Keightley refers to William of Newburgh as William of Newbridge, an error that is repeated in almost all newer accounts.
		According to Keightley, William says she married a man from Lenna; according to Carey, William says she married a man at Lynne.

	East Sussex man breached pesticide laws
		Mr Thomas Keightley of Lansdowne Way, Hailsham, East Sussex, was fined £2,000 for breaching Section 16(12)(ii) of the Food and Environment Protection Act (FEPA) 1985, in that he failed to use the pesticide Talunex, containing alumimium phosphide, in accordance with the conditions of approval relating to its use.
		The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecution under FEPA stems from Mr Keightley, as an employee of a pest control company on the 10 September 2001, applied aluminium phosphide pellets in a private householders back yard to control moles within three metres of the dwelling, contrary to the approval for use of the substance.
		The case under Section 7 of HSWA was brought because having applied the substance, Mr Keightley left the remaining pellets with the householder with no instructions on its safe storage and use.

		While Keightley does not recognize the influence of secret societies on the modern world, beginning particularly with the Bavarian Illuminati and the societies behind the French Revolution, his study of these three secret societies is particularly interesting in dealing with the medieval period.
		Keightley explains fully the origin and development of the Templars as well as the various other groups of crusading knights that existed at the time.
		Keightley also explains how although these tribunals were originally relatively uncorrupted, they later were to become corrupt as the aristocracy became involved in their dealings.

	Anomalies Article: The Green Children of Banjos
		In Keightley's account, the Woolpit children are taken in by a knight named Sir Richard de Calne; in Macklin's account, the Banjos children are helped by "the village's chief landowner," a man named Ricardo da Calno.
		In the end, there is only one major difference between the two accounts: in Keightley's story of the Green Children of Woolpit, the girl survives to eventually marry, whereas in Macklin's story of the Green Children of Banjos, the girl dies after five years.
		In light of the similarity of Macklin's 1965 Banjos account to Keightley's 1850 Woolpit account, it seems likely that Macklin simply copied and doctored the earlier story to suit his own purposes; but I will endeavor to locate documents concerning events in Banjos, Spain, in the 1880's to be doubly sure.

		Masson is, however, of a different opinion: he thinks it necessary to tell us, not only all which Milton did, but everything also that he might have heard of.
		Keightley is on a very different scale: he tells the story of Milton`s career in about half a small volume.
		Probably this is a little too concise, and the narrative is somewhat dry and bare.

	Faeries and their Races
		The notable historian of medieval religion and magic, Keith Thomas concludes that ‘Ancestral spirits, ghosts, sleeping heroes, fertility spirits and pagan gods can all be discerned in the heterogenous fairy lore of medieval England’ (Thomas 1971: 724).
		Despite a substantial volume of literature, the next major study of fairies did not appear until 1959 when Katherine Briggs’ The Anatomy of Puck was published, which lead in due course to her better-known A dictionary of fairies in 1976.
