    John HowardQDuke of Norfolk: A Possible Murderer of the Princes? ANNE CRAWFORD THAT JOHN, Loan HOWARD, created Duke of Norfolk by Richard III, was the man responsible for the deaths of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, is a comparatively new theory.l For five hundred years after they died, no mention is made of Howard in the context of the murder. The first suggestio'n that he might have been involved was made in 1844 by Payne Collier, who edited Howard’s second volume of household accounts. In them he found an entry noting payment made on May 21, 1483, to six men for a day’s labour at the Tower, -to the carpenter for making three beds and for two sacks of lime.2 The reference to the beds and lime set Payne Collier’s mind working upon novel lines, but his suggestion that Howard might have had something to do with the murders was not followed up for more than a hundred years. A much more elaborate case is propounded by Melvin 1. Tucker in his biography of Thomas Howard, second Duke of Norfolk, John’s son and heir. He bases his case on “a strong motive and a series of interesting coincidences”.3 The motive was the Howards’ desire to gain their rightful half-share of the Mowbray inheritance of the‘ dukes of Norfolk, at that time vested in Richard, Duke of York and Norfolk, widower of the Mowbray heiress, and possibly the dukedom itself.‘ The coincidences may briefly be summarised. They include, according to Tucker, the fact that Howard was Constable of the Tower and therefore had access to the princes, the entry in his accéunts for the beds and lime, his past friendship with the Protector, the role he played in persuading the queen to give up York and the support he continued to give Richard for the rest of his reign.

Why is this? shortened version of a deposition scene. The 1623 hard-bound large volume of the collected works, the First Folio, includes Length of play the deposition scene as we know it today. The play is in length between the longest and the shortest, about 2,803 lines. Prose—not Act 1: 659 lines Richard 2 and King John are the only two plays in the canon Act 2: 649 lines in which there is no prose whatsoever. The good thing about Act 3: 590 lines this is that the lines in various editions tend to be the same! Act 4: 565 lines Earl of Essex and Richard the Second You might have read that when the Earl of Essex Queen died that this play includes the deposition was planning to overthrow Queen Elizabeth in scene of Richard 2. Also in Shakespeare’s play, there 1601, he asked the Chamberlain’s Men (the acting is only one mention of Henry 4, as “Henry, fourth of troupe that included William Shakespeare) to that name,” indicating that Shakespeare’s play would perform “Shakespeare’s Richard the Second.” This not even be known as a play about Henry the Fourth.

  • Cusk, Sarah. Checklist of English Manuscripts in the Newberry Library, 1500–1865
    English Manuscripts - Cusk, Sarah. Checklist of English manuscripts in the Newberry Library, 1500–1865 The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and the New. 1648. Case BS 185 1648 .L6. The aim of this checklist is to provide an introduction to those manuscripts in English in the Newberry Library produced between 1500 and 1865. Pre-1500 or “medieval” manuscripts are listed by Saenger (some are also listed in the online catalog); post-1865 manuscripts largely form part of the Modern Manuscripts collection and so are separately inventoried; for manuscripts in the Ayer collection, the reader should consult Butler and the online catalog. The parameters for this inventory are fairly wide: included are all manuscripts in the Case, Wing and Graff collections which are either in English or by English or American authors (a category that here includes composers, writing-masters, translations, and even, in some cases, subjects of legal documents). The heterogeneous nature of the manuscripts here is actually a rather good reflection of the broad range of topics that can be studied at the Newberry. For example, the reader will find in this checklist manuscript copies of early-modern prose romances, letters exchanged between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, the autographs of United States presidents, a Pennsylvania Dutch birth certificate and collections of eighteenth-century songs.

  • Manors and Other Estates
    VCH Draft Text Parish: WELBY Author(s) Dr Alan Fox & Dr Pam Fisher Date: August 2018 LANDHOLDINGS There were two tenants-in-chief for Welby in 1086: Geoffrey de Wirce (de la Guerche), who was also the lord of Melton and held seven carucates and two bovates of land, and Countess Judith, niece of King William I, who held eight carucates and two bovates.1 For much of the medieval period, the Mowbray and Segrave families were lords of the manor that had been held in 1086 by de Wirce. This was purchased by William Digby in 1573. The Assheby family became lords of the second manor by the 14th century. The second manor came to the Digby family through a marriage in the late 15th century, uniting the two manors. This enabled the Digbys to inclose the land for pasture, and depopulate the village. Garendon abbey, near Loughborough, was also a significant landholder in the medieval period following gifts of land, mostly by tenants of the Mowbray/Segrave manor. The abbey built a grange in Welby. After the dissolution, their land was acquired by the earls of Rutland. It is not known when they sold this land, but by 1774 the entire parish was owned by the lords of the manor. The manor of Geoffrey de Wirce, to 1604 Geoffrey de Wirce held seven carucates and two bovates of land in Welby in 1086.2 When he died, his Melton estate, including Welby, was divided between Robert de Mowbray, earl of Northumbria, and Nigel d’Aubigny.3 Robert de Mowbray was imprisoned and forfeited his estates for a rebellion in 1 A.
