en-wikipedia-org-8894		Richard Rolle - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	4221	476	69	1300–30 September 1349)[1] was an English hermit, mystic, and religious writer.[2] He is also known as Richard Rolle of Hampole or de Hampole, since at the end of his life he lived near a Cistercian nunnery in Hampole, now in South Yorkshire.[3] In the words of Nicholas Watson, scholarly research has shown that "[d]uring the fifteenth century he was one of the most widely read of English writers, whose works survive in nearly four hundred English ... It is unclear what his function was there: he was not the nuns' official confessor, who was a Franciscan (in any case, it is unlikely he would have had ecclesiastical sanction for this, since unless the theory about his ordination in Paris is correct, he was probably not ordained, since his name is not in the list of those ordained in the dioceses of York or Durham in the relevant years).[18] However he wrote The Form of Living and his English Psalter for a nun there, Margaret Kirkby (who later took up a similar life to Rolle, as an anchoress), and Ego Dormio for a nun at Yedingham.[19] It is possible that he died of the Black Death,[7][19] but there is no direct evidence for this.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8894.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8894.txt
