I. Remembrances, 1671–1714 I. REMEMBRANCES, 1671-1714 [fol. 46V] Some few remembrances of my misfortuns have attended me in my unhappy life since I were marryed, which was November the 14., i6yi £67!, Novembr £4 Thursday, Novembr 14, i67i, and Childermas Day, I was privatly marryed to Mr Percy Frek by Doctter Johnson in Coven Garden, my Lord Russells chaplin, in London, to my second cosin, eldest son to Captain Arthur Frek and grandson to Mr William Frek, the only brother of Sir Thomas Frek of Dorsettshiere, who was my grandfather, and his son Mr Ralph Frek [was] my own deer father.1 And my mother was Sir Thomas Cullpepers daughter of Hollingburne in Kentt; her name was Cicelia Cullpeper. Affter being six or 7 years engaged to Mr Percy Freke, I was in a most grievous rainy, wett day marryed withoutt the knowledg or consentt of my father or any friend in London, as above. 1672, Jully 26 Being Thursday, I were againe remaned by my deer father by Doctter Uttram att St Margaretts Church in Westminster by a licence att least fowre years in Mr Freks pocttett and in a griveous tempestious, stormy day for wind as the above for raigne.21 were given by my deer father, Ralph Frek, Esqr, and the eldest of his fowre ' The Registers of St. Paul's Church, Covent Garden, London, ed. William H. Hunt, Harleian Society, 35 (1907), 49, indicates they were married on 14 November 1672. Freke confirms the 1671 date in an entry she adds to the West Bilney register and in her miscellaneous documents (below, p. 315). Childermas, the Feast of the Holy Innocents, commemorates on 28 December the young children Herod killed. Childermas was also, however, 'the day of the week throughout the year on which that feast fell, widely held to be a day of ill omen' (ODCC, 329). In 1671, 28 December was also a Thursday, so conceivably Freke intended the ominous association. See, however, her reference to Childermas, below, p. 75 n. 117. Samuel Johnson (1649-1703) became the chaplain of William Russell, Lord Russell, in 1679; he consoled his patron when Russell was executed for his alleged involvement in a plot against the king's life. See also below, p. 143 n. 256. a The Register of St. Margaret's Westminster London 1660-16J5, transc. Herbert F. Westlake and ed. Lawrence E. Tanner, Harleian Society, 64 (1935), 184, dates the marriage 26 June 1673. In her miscellaneous documents (below, p. 315), however, Freke dates the marriage 24 July 1672. William Owtram (1626—1679), archdeacon of Leicester and prebendary of Westminster, was rector of St Margaret's for the last fifteen years of his life. Two London marriage licences issued by the dean and chapter of Westminster contain different biographical information: '1669 June 23 Percy Freke [sic subs] of Middle Temple, Gent., Bachr, abt 24, and Mrs Elizabeth Freke, of St Martin's in the Fields, Spr, abt 22 & at own dispose'; '1672 Aug. 7 Percy Freake, of Middle Temple, Esq., Bachr, abt 27, & Mrs Elizabeth Freke, of Westminster, Spr, abt 22, her parents dead' (Chester and Armytage, eds., Harleian Society, 23 [1886], 165, 206). 37 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

Freke Agust 26 Mr Frek, Agust 26 coming over St James Parke aboutt 12 a clock att night, challenged my lord of Roscomon either to fight him in St James Parke presently or to pay him downe a thousand pounds my lord had long owed Mr Freke.3 Butt the 26 of Agust att three a clock in the morning ten men of the lifegard came and fetched Mr Freke outt of his bed from me and immediatly hurryed him to Whit Hall before Secetary Coventry, I nott knowing whatt itt was for more then words spoken.4 This was the begining of my troubles for my disobedience in marrying as I did.

[fol. 47r] 1673, July 7 Aboutt the begining of Jully 1673, to the best of my memory, Mr Frek sold outtright my fortune given me by my deer father, unknown to him or me or any of my fowre trustees, to Sir Josias Childe for the sume of 5764 pounds, or 5664 1. This was nott kind, for 3 Wentworth Dillon, fourth earl of Roscommon (I633?-I685), a poet, translator, and essayist, had, like Percy Freke, ties to the Boyles: his first marriage was to Frances, the daughter of Richard, first earl of Burlington and second earl of Cork. 4 Henry Coventry (c. 1618-1686), a prominent member of parliament, became one of the two secretaries of state in 1672, serving until 1680 (HC, ii. 148-54). 5 The Green Man was in Epping Forest off Wall Wood Lane in the area of Waltham Stow (John Rocque, An Exact Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster ... with the County about ItforMneteen Miles [London, 1747], plate 9). Robert Brooke's mother, Elizabeth, was the sister-in-law of Judith, the sister of Ralph's wife; 'Lady Brook' and 'Lady Mary Brooks', probably Robert's sister Mary, contributed to Freke's collections of recipes and remedies. 6 When Brooke (c. 1637-1669) died, his trustees sold his Wanstead estate in Essex to Sir Josiah Child (c. 1630-1699) for £11,500. Child, the owner of a brewery in Southwark and a prominent figure in London commerce and government, rebuilt Wanstead House (HC, i. 726-7, ii. 57-9). Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

The dispute concerns the 800-acre manor of Ditcham and Sunworth in the Hampshire parish of Buriton that Percy Freke had agreed to buy from a 'Richard Cooper esqr' for £7,300, the details of which are in Cooper's answer to a bill of complaint by 'Pearcy Freake esqr' (PRO, C 9/64/27).

  • The Sieges of Limerick Synopsis
    The Sieges of Limerick Synopsis Over the course of 50 years, between 1642 and 1692, Limerick was besieged four times, bringing untold misery and suffering to its citizens. As a well-fortified and strategically placed city it was a key location for the Irish and a key target for Cromwellian and Williamite forces. Limerick and the various sieges was the theme of the Society's weekend outing which took place on the weekend of 24 - 26 September 2016. The Siege of King John's Castle, Limerick , 15 May - 23 June 1642. As the rebellion of 1641 spread throughout the country, the English settlers of Limerick and the surrounding counties took refuge in King John's Castle. Before long over 800 men, women and children huddled within its walls. On 15 May 1642 the Irish army, commanded by Sir Garret Barry began their attack on the castle. Lacking siege artillery with which to reduce the walls, the Irish were forced to dig tunnels beneath the walls i.e. mining. The defenders reacted by digging countermines and a number of engagements were fought underground between the defenders and the attackers. The remains of some of these tunnels have been uncovered in the archaeological excavations at the castle and can be seen in the excellent museum at the castle. On 21 June part of one of the walls collapsed and short of food and ammunition the defenders were forced to ask for terms. They surrendered on 23 June 1642. Ireton's siege of Limerick June - October 1651. By January 1652 only the province of Connaught and the counties of Clare and Kerry remained in Irish hands.

  • July at the Museum!
    July at the Museum! Battle of Aughrim, John Mulvaney. The Battle of the Boyne, July 1st 1690. On 1 July 1690, the Battle of the Boyne was fought between King James II's Jacobite army, and the Williamite Army under William of Orange. Despite only being a minor military victory in favour of the Williamites, it has a major symbolic significance. The Battle's annual commemorations by The Orange Order, a masonic-style fraternity dedicated to the protection of the Protestant Ascendancy, remain a topic of great controversy. This is especially true in areas of Northern Ireland where sectarian tensions remain rife. No year in Irish history is better known than 1690. No Irish battle is more famous than William III's victory over James II at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda. James, a Roman Catholic, had lost the throne of England in the bloodless "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. William was Prince of Orange, a Dutch-speaking Protestant married to James's daughter Mary, and became king at the request of parliament. James sought refuge with his old ally, Louis XIV of France, who saw an opportunity to strike at William through Ireland. He provided French officers and arms for James, who landed at Kinsale in March 1689. The lord deputy, the Earl of Tyrconnell was a Catholic loyal to James, and his Irish army controlled most of the island. James quickly summoned a parliament, largely Catholic, which proceeded to repeal the legislation under which Protestant settlers had acquired land. During the rule of Tyrconnell, the first Catholic viceroy since the Reformation, Protestants had seen their influence eroded in the army, in the courts and in civil government.

  • 88 Haughley Park Andthe Sulyards. by Rev. "Arthurdimock
    88 HAUGHLEY PARK ANDTHE SULYARDS. BY REV. "ARTHURDIMOCK, Rector of Wetherden, Suffolk. In the Calendar of the Feet of Fines for Suffolk, edited by Mr. Walter Rye, in connection with the Suffolk Institute of ArchEeology, is found the following : " 3 Edw. iv. John Sulyard v. Walter Bradley and Joanna his wife, of the manor of Wetherdene in Wetherdene." This may be taken to mean that, not later than 1462, John Sulyard became lord of the manor of Wetherden.' According to the Visitations of Suffolk, this John Sulyard came from Eye. His family were chiefly noted for marrying heiresses, which will account for the quarter- ings, outside and inside the Sulyard aisle, in Wetherden Church. His three immediate anceStors distinguished themselves in this way. John Sulyard's only son (or only recorded son) has a history, for he improved on all his forefathers by marrying two heiresses. He devoted himself to the law, and became in succession, serjeant, puisne judge and Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas,--one of many East Anglian judges. His home was Wetherden Hall, but who built that manor house I do not know. Chief Justice Sulyard, just about four centuries ago, built the present south aisle in Wetherden church, which went by the family name. In the Sulyard aisle he was buried in the tomb under the side arch. He must have left behind him considerable possessions. HAUGHLEY PARK AND THE SULYARDS. 89 Passing over his son, buried at Wetherden in .1538, we come to his grandson, also John. Although he married thrice, not one of these three ladies is put down as an heiress ; yet he made up in other ways.
