Reign as princess-abbess[edit source | editbeta]

Consecration[edit source | editbeta]
On 14 January 1044, after the death of her kinswoman, Abbess Adelaide I, Beatrice was installed as abbess of Gandersheim Abbey by her father, overriding the right of the canonesses to elect their own head. She was additionally consecrated Abbess of Quedlinburg on 24 June 1044 in Merseburg Cathedral, also succeeding Adelaide I, and a little later was created abbess of Vreden Abbey.
Conflicts[edit source | editbeta]
In Gandersheim, she was at the centre of a long-running conflict with the canonesses, who accused her of subinfeudating estates of the abbey that were intended for the direct support of the community, and thereby bringing them into financial hardship. Three popes were involved in this affair, which went on for years: Leo IX decided initially in favour of the canonesses; Victor III reversed the decision in favour of the abbess. Finally, Stephen IX set out a compromise, at the end of 1057, which was apparently that the prebendal estates of the community were to be reserved for its upkeep, but that the abbess had the right to manage freely the remaining estates and her own properties as she saw fit.
Even this solution held only until the death of Beatrice; under her successor, her half-sister Adelaide II, the conflict broke out all over again.

By 1828, the census records William as having 907 acres of land, 172 acres were cleared and 49 acres cultivated. He also had 18 horses and 30 cattle. This land was partially made up of the holdings of William, John, Mr Jennings, Mr Crawford and Mr Dunlops‟ farms. As for the orchard the Sydney Gazette stated on the 28th July 1828 that one of William Mobbs oranges measured 16 inches round the middle.

By 1802 he had already acquired his first grant of land. It was a 30 acre grant in the Field of Mars, of which 26 acres had already been cleared, even and a half acres where under wheat and maize and the family owned 44 sheep, 19 horned cattle, 15 goats and 2 hogs.

It is possible that this land is the land he was granted in 1802, possibly being reverted back to the crown and regranted to William Mobbs.

Whichever the case may be the Mobbs family were totally self sufficient, not having to rely on the Government Stores as many of their neighbours were.
As the family were growing up, William continued to put his gardening background to good use and with the advise given by John Macarthur (who held many hundreds of acres in the area) in the benefits of running a mixed farm such as cattle, sheep, wheat, maize, and vegetables etc it was not long before William had established all of the above along with a thriving orchard of oranges.

By 1815, William was able to supply the Government stores with 1500 pounds of meat, as was stated in the Sydney Government Gazette on the 25th of March of that year. His orange grove took pride and place in the district and continued to be for many years to come.
During the early part of 1820, John Macarthur relinquished his land in the Field of Mars/Pennant Hills district for land around Camden. Most of the land John Macarthur gave up came into the hands of the Mobbs family.
