History of the Commonwealth Games
GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games.

York Clergy Ordinations 1510-1519 216
YORK CLERGY ORDINATIONS 1510-1519 compiled by Claire Cross Borthwick List and Index 31 2002 © University of York, 2002 ISBN 0-903857-87-1 CONTENTS Introduction Abbreviations vii Alphabetical Register of Ordinands 1510-1519 Table of York Clergy Ordinations 1510-1519 216 Index 226 INTRODUCTION With a peak of 260 priests in 1510, way below the unprecedented figure of 446 regulars and seculars admitted to the priesthood in 1508, the number of men presenting themselves for ordination in the diocese of York from 1510 to 1519 never matched the level attained earlier in the sixteenth century. Though the annual total fluctuated between 260 and 184, there were only two years when it is known to have dipped below 200, and for the decade as a whole the region generated more than 2,200 new priests. Taking account the gap in the records, this produces an annual average of around 220 priests of whom about 40 were regulars and 180 seculars. Suffragan bishops conducted six ordination ceremonies virtually every year with around 150 acolytes, subdeacons, deacons and priests consecrated on each occasion, the candidates sometimes exceeding 200. All this suggests that ordinations had reached a steady state in this decade and provides few signs of any substantial decline. The situation at York parallels that of English dioceses of a similar size. At 172 the average annual total of secular priests being ordained in the diocese of Lincoln during Atwater's episcopate from 1515 to 1520 was almost identical with that at York. During Blythe's twenty-seven year tenure of the see of Coventry and Lichfield an average of 167 seculars were admitted to priest's orders each year.

St George's College, Windsor Castle, in the Late- Fifteenth and Early
St George’s College, Windsor Castle, in the Late- Fifteenth and Early-Sixteenth Centuries Euan Cameron Roger Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London, September 2015 Department of History, Royal Holloway, University of London 1 I, Euan Cameron Roger, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Euan Cameron Roger Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis examines the royal college of St George, Windsor Castle, in the late- fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries. The thesis considers specific groups of individuals within the college, including canons, vicars, clerks and poor knights that resided within, and assesses how these groups interacted with one another. This discussion includes problems of individual wages, the college’s collective income, personal interactions and liturgical change. The thesis provides a community study of the college, and questions the extent to which St George’s was a coherent community. It argues that the college was a distinctive institution, which was able to adapt as fashions changed, but which was not perfect. The thesis makes use of the college’s extensive medieval archive at Windsor, supported by manuscripts from The National Archives and other repositories, and fills a substantial gap in the historiography of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century college. After setting out the college’s fourteenth-century foundations and historiography, five chapters consider different groups within the community. Chapters 1 and 2 investigate the secular canons who ran the college under the supervision of the dean or warden.

Of the Cardinal of York's Ambition, and of the Advice He Gave the King
Book 1, chapter 4 Of the Cardinal of York’s Ambition, and of the Advice He Gave the King Concerning His Marriage1 One of the king’s confidants who came to know all this was Thomas Wolsey, a man bold and ambitious above all other men, whose life was much more like the Henry’s than the queen’s. Accordingly, he sought any opportunity to please the king, to harm the queen, and to advance his own interests. Wolsey was a man of low, menial birth, the son of a butcher (so some have written).2 Having entered the king’s household through deceit and cunning, he was ini- tially his chaplain, and then his almoner.3 Then he made himself rich with the rents of the bishopric of Tournai (which King Henry had taken from the king of France), and until at last he was made bishop—first of Lincoln, then of Dur- ham, then of Winchester and, at the same time, archbishop of York, the two richest sees.4 In the end, the king also made him chancellor of the realm, anal- ogous to what we call the president of the royal council of Castile, as well as arranging for the pope to make him a cardinal and legate a latere in England.5 Not content with this, he held numerous pensions and rich grants from the emperor and the king of France, as well as wealthy abbacies and church ben- efices, for King Henry favored him to the point of placing himself and his realm in his hands, neither deciding nor commanding anything without the word or hand of Wolsey.
