  • “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil”
    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

  • The Heraldry of the De Bohun Earls
    The Antiquaries Journal, , ,pp– © The Society of Antiquaries of London, doi:./S. First published online June THE HERALDRY OF THE DE BOHUN EARLS Lucia Diaz Pascual Lucia Diaz Pascual, Baronsmead Road, London SW13 9RR, UK. Email: [email protected] This paper analyses the evidence relating to the heraldry used by the patriarchs of the de Bohun family (1066–1373) as preserved in seal impressions, rolls of arms, manuscripts, wills, inventories and personal objects held in private collections. It traces the development of the family’scoatofarms, as well as the adoption and use by the de Bohun earls of various heraldic symbols (such as the swan, the trefoil, the leopard and the wyvern) to serve as a reminder of the family’s glorious ancestry and its many royal and noble marital alliances. By analysing the unique heraldry adopted by each de Bohun earl, this paper concludes that the family’s noble identity evolved over several generations and that the choice of heraldic symbols by each earl was highly individual, providing a unique insight into their sense of identity and personal values, as well as their desire to ensure family memory. Keywords: Medieval history; sigillography; heraldry; lineage and identity; nobility INTRODUCTION Heraldry, defined by Anthony Wagner as ‘the systematic use of hereditary devices centred upon the shield’, developed in England during the twelfth century. The earliest extant example of a coat of arms, the decorated shield given by Henry I to his son-in-law, Geoffrey of Anjou, when he was knighted, dates from . Originally used to identify the heavily armed knight, by the second quarter of the twelfth century shield designs had become hereditary, being used consistently to associate their owners with certain lands, titles and offices.

  • Student Days at the Inns of Court
    STUDENT DAYS AT THE INNS OF COURT.* Fortescue tells us that when King John fixed the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster, the professors of the municipal law who heretofore had been scattered about the kingdom formed themselves into an aggregate body "wholly addicted to the study of the law." This body, having been excluded from Oxford and Cambridge where the civil and canon laws alone were taught, found it necessary to establish a university of its own. This it did by purchasing at various times certain houses between the City of Westminster, where the King's courts were held, and the City of London, where they could obtain their provisions. The nearest of these institutions to the City of London was the Temple. Passing through Ludgate, one came to the bridge over the Fleet Brook and continued down Fleet Street a short distance to Temple Bar where were the Middle, Inner and Outer Temples. The grounds of the Temples reached to the bank of the Thames and the barges of royalty were not infrequently seen drawn up to the landing, when kings and queens would honor the Inns with their presence at some of the elaborate revels. For at Westminster was also the Royal Palace and the Abbey, and the Thames was an easy highway from the market houses and busi- ness offices of London to the royal city of Westminster. Passage on land was a far different matter and at first only the clergy dared risk living beyond the gates, and then only in strongly-walled dwellings. St.

Harleian Society publications new series, 16-17 (2003-4). 2 vols. London: The Harleian Society, 2005. The 1687 visitation of London was the last held in England and Wales. It has recent• ly been published in two parts by the Harleian Society, edited by Tim Wales and Carol Hartley. London was easily the largest city in the nation, and the centre of pol• itics, culture and economy.1 As such, the 1687 visitation of London holds a dual his• torical importance as both the last visitation in English history, but also an account of the gentry who inhabited England's wealthiest and most important centre of pop• ulation.2 The edition draws on the visitation pedigrees, as well as various other ancil• lary sources, including two notebooks; one from the College of Arms, and one from the Guildhall.3 Henry VIII inaugurated the system of visitations in 1530, making two senior heralds, Clarenceux and Norroy Kings of Arms, responsible for making periodic vis• its to the counties to ensure all arms were borne with proper authority.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

EDMUND PLOWDEN' MASTER TREASURER OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE (1561-1570) RICHARD O'SULLIVAN D ENUO SURREXIT DOMUS: the Latin inscription high on the outside wall of this stately building announces and records the fact that in the year 1949, under the hand of our Royal Treasurer, Elizabeth the Queen, the Hall of the Middle Temple rose again and became once more the centre of our professional life and aspiration. To those who early in the war had seen the destruction of these walls and the shattering of the screen and the disappearance of the Minstrels' Gallery; and to those who saw the timbers of the roof ablaze upon a certain -midnight in March 1944, the restoration of Domus must seem something of a miracle. All these things naturally link our thought with the work and the memory of Edmund Plowden who, in the reign of an earlier Queen Elizabeth, devoted his years as Treasurer and as Master of the House to the building of this noble Hall.

  • A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’
    Welcome to Version 1.2 (20th September 2016) A Practical Guide to Petitioning for By Paul D Jagger a Grant of Arms 1 Welcome to ‘A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’. These materials support a face-to-face workshop on the subjects of heraldry and petitioning the Crown for arms in the Commonwealth realms, Crown Dependencies and Territories. For the sake of simplicity the following slides focus on the heraldic practices of HM College of Arms in the City of London covering England, Wales, Norther Ireland, the Crown Dependencies, Territories and the Commonwealth Realms other than Canada. Scotland has enjoyed its own heraldic authority since before the union of the crowns. Agenda An Introduction to Heraldry Petitioning for arms Displaying arms Preparing your petition Frequently Asked Questions Further reading and resources 2 Heraldry: An Introduction 3 We will now explore some of the concepts and terminology of heraldry, the law of arms and gain a brief insight in to blazon, the language of heraldry. The photo was taken by the author in the great hall at Queens’ College, Cambridge. Heraldic Myths Busted There is no such thing as a coat of arms for a surname The words crest, badge and coat of arms are not synonymous There are no fixed meaning for colours or symbols in heraldry You cannot buy your family coat of arms from a tourist shop or website You don’t have to be a Lord or a Knight to be granted arms 4 Before we proceed with the substance of this workshop it may be helpful to dispel a few common myths and misconceptions about heraldry and coats of arms.

  • Machyn Article
    Tudor Chronicler or Sixteenth-Century Diarist? Henry Machyn and the Nature of His Manuscript [This article was first published in The Sixteenth Century Journal , Vol. 33, No. 4 (Winter, 2002), pp. 981-998.] The Diary of Henry Machyn (1848) is apparently an eyewitness account of events in London between July 1550 and August 1563, in the style of a chronicle continuation. Historians have rarely made use of its rich detail: its existence poses the problem of whether to presume that the "diary" as a literary model was known and used by a semiliterate merchant tailor, or to look further for a more reliable historical context. Those who choose the latter course are frustrated by the lack of available evidence, have discovered only doubts about the manuscript, and conclude that even the attri- bution is uncertain. However, newly discovered archival material puts the questions of authorship and the original extent of the manuscript beyond doubt and allows the work to be placed in the context of mid-sixteenth-century chronicle writing as well as in the context of the author's life. It also elaborates on Machyn's connections with antiquarian and heraldic contemporaries, his religious conservatism, and his personal motives for writing the work. THE MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY saw the publication of several sixteenth-century English journals, most of which were accorded a title that describes the text as a "diary." Among the so-called diaries of sixteenth-century individuals already known to historians on account of their other activities, such as those of Simon Forman and John Dee, 1 was that of man known only on account of his journal, one Henry Machyn of London.
