Philip De Sayton's Grandfather Fought with William the Conqueror At
Philip de Sayton’s grandfather fought with William the Conqueror at Hastings in 1066. Winton was built by the Setons following a grant of land by David I to Phillip de Sayton in 1150. Phillip’s grandson married the sister of King Robert “The Bruce” of Scotland. In the sixteenth century, Henry VIII had Winton burnt in an effort to impress Mary Queen of Scots, and Mary Seton was later her Lady-in-Waiting. The Seton’s tenure lasted until 1715 when they backed the Jacobites and the Earl of Winton was taken to the Tower of London. The Earl’s capture ended an era when Kings were entertained and master craftsmen were engaged fresh from Edinburgh Castle to embellish Winton House in the style of the Scottish Renaissance. In the absence of the Earl but in his name, Winton was requisitioned by Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745 when his rebel army camped on Winton Estate. The Hamilton Nisbets, who bought the House and Estate, linked it to one of the greatest inheritances of the 18th and 19th centuries. The furnishings came from all over Europe and the Turkish Empire and the impressive estates covered some of the country's best farmland. Golf was not just a pastime but was carried out on estate land, which, at that time, included Muirfield and Gullane Links. For over a century, Winton has hosted musical evenings and private functions; more recently it has successfully been used for corporate dinners and lunches, conferences, product launches and weddings, using the main rooms of the House.

Page 2 Brief History of the Tower Roman origins The Tower was built on the south-eastern corner of the wall that the Romans built around Londinium circa AD 200. Parts of this wall are still visible within the Tower site. William the Conqueror After the successful Norman invasion, William the Conqueror set about consolidating his new capital by building three fortifications. The strongest of the three was the Tower, which controlled and protected the eastern entry to the City from the river, as well as serving as a palace. Work on the White Tower began in 1078 and probably took twenty-five years to complete.

Royal Mail's Kings and Queen's Series Enters the Tudor
News Release 2 March 2009 ROYAL MAIL’S KINGS AND QUEEN’S SERIES ENTERS THE TUDOR AGE Royal Mail continues its 600 year journey through history with the second in its Kings and Queens series celebrating the Royal Houses of England. Marking the 500th anniversary of the accession of Henry VIII, The House of Tudor, features individual portraits of the six monarchs who ruled during one of the most famous – and infamous - periods in our history, complemented with a four-stamp Miniature Sheet illustrating significant people and events from the period. The stamps - which are issued on 21 April in three 1st, 62p and 81p pairs - and the Miniature Sheet were designed by Atelier Works who also designed the first of the Kings and Queens issues, the Houses of Lancaster and York, in 2008. From the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 to the death of Good Queen Bess in 1603, the age of the House of Tudor saw some of our best known kings and queens sit upon the English throne. Marking the end of the Middle Ages and forged in bloodshed, rancour and upheaval at home and abroad, the Tudor age also saw commerce and arts flourish and the introduction of the Renaissance into England. In addition to its regular products Royal Mail is also producing a Cachet Cover, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I Coin Cover and a Press Sheet consisting of 12 uncut Miniature sheets (see Notes to Editors for further information). Julietta Edgar, Head of Special Stamps at Royal Mail said: “Kings and Queens is one of the most significant series of stamps ever issued by Royal Mail.

Burial and Succession in Late Anglo-Saxon England, Nicole Marafioti (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2014)
2016 III The King’s Body: Burial and Succession in Late Anglo-Saxon England, Nicole Marafioti (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2014). Review by: Courtnay Konshuh Review: The King’s Body: Burial and Succession in Late Anglo-Saxon England The King’s Body: Burial and Succession in Late Anglo-Saxon England. By Nicole Marafioti. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2014. 978-1-4426-4758-9. 297 pp. £44.95. his book explores royal burial in the later Anglo-Saxon period as a “central component of the political process” (248), in which royal corpses were deliberately manipulated by the new ruler and T his circle. In effect, Marafioti’s study sees the burial ritual as well as any other movement of the body (removal, translation, disappearance, and desecration) as an important political instrument, manipulated by kings in order to promote their own legitimacy. Taking care of the previous king’s body was the first act a new king needed to navigate, and it is convincingly shown in Marafioti’s book to be a consistent part of the king or govern- ment’s political programme, helping to construct the political narrative that the king wished to promulgate. Working with a large body of primarily narra- tive source material, including historical and literary texts, Marafioti uses both lay and religious documents as evidence for her arguments as well as outsid- ers’ views on royal burials, both contemporary and later. Her excellent trans- lations convincingly stack together a large body of evidence to strengthen her arguments, which often revolve around exploring possible scenarios un- der which such burials or desecrations would have been likely.

The Purpose of This Thesis Is to Trace Lady Katherine Grey's Family from Princess Mary Tudor to Algernon Seymour a Threefold A
ABSTRACT THE FAMILY OF LADY KATHERINE GREY 1509-1750 by Nancy Louise Ferrand The purpose of this thesis is to trace Lady Katherine Grey‘s family from Princess Mary Tudor to Algernon Seymour and to discuss aspects of their relationship toward the hereditary descent of the English crown. A threefold approach was employed: an examination of their personalities and careers, an investigation of their relationship to the succession problem. and an attempt to draw those elements together and to evaluate their importance in regard to the succession of the crown. The State Papers. chronicles. diaries, and the foreign correspondence of ambassadors constituted the most important sources drawn upon in this study. The study revealed that. according to English tradition, no woman from the royal family could marry a foreign prince and expect her descendants to claim the crown. Henry VIII realized this point when he excluded his sister Margaret from his will, as she had married James IV of Scotland and the Earl of Angus. At the same time he designated that the children of his younger sister Mary Nancy Louise Ferrand should inherit the crown if he left no heirs. Thus, legally had there been strong sentiment expressed for any of Katherine Grey's sons or descendants, they, instead of the Stuarts. could possibly have become Kings of England upon the basis of Henry VIII's and Edward VI's wills. That they were English rather than Scotch also enhanced their claims. THE FAMILY OF LADY KATHERINE GREY 1509-1750 BY Nancy Louise Ferrand A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History 1964 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am indebted to Dr.

The Tudor Dwarf Princess
The Tudor dwarf princess At the Prime Minister’s country residence at Chequers, scribbles on the walls of the 12-foot prison room bear testimony to the dreary misery of the woman Elizabeth I had kept there: an heir to the throne, a potential English queen, now buried in obscurity. If Lady Mary Grey is recalled today, it is as a historical footnote. She was the dwarf who married a giant, the curious youngest sister of the famous nine days queen Lady Jane Grey. But Mary was a more significant figure than her stature in the literature suggests. And my discovery of lost manuscripts has helped me lay to rest a Tudor mystery. I am the historian Leanda de Lisle, uncovering the Tudors and Stuarts behind the myths For centuries, no one has known what Queen Elizabeth did with poor Mary Grey’s body, but the lost manuscripts have revealed where this remarkable woman was laid to rest. When Elizabeth became Queen in 1558, Mary Grey followed her sister Katherine, the second of three Grey girls, in line to the throne. This is not, of course, how history remembers it. Mary, Queen of Scots is the cousin we recall as Elizabeth’s heir. But Henry VIII had excluded the Stuart line of his elder sister Margaret from the succession and in their stead placed the heirs of his younger sister, Mary Tudor, Duchess of Suffolk — grandmother of the Greys. If Henry’s will, backed by statute, had not existed, Mary, Queen of Scots would have had the superior right to Elizabeth.
