    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

Biography of Sir William St. John, Knight (1561-1638), 2021, p. 2 3 Biography of Sir William St. John, Knight (1561-1638) SIR WILLIAM ST. JOHN, KNIGHT AND ELEANOR DE PORT-ST. JOHN Another marriage of St. John & de Port families Overview Sir William St. John, Knight was one of the most interesting persons I researched for this work. He seemed to be a very innovative and outgoing person with a lot of energy and ambition to have accomplished all he appears to have been involved in. At his core, he seems to be historically a real, gold-searching pirate, albeit a legal one (barely) and most of his notable documented activities related to his pursuit for gold. William was a privateer (basically a legal pirate1), a businessman involved in gold, clothing, shipping, importing and exporting, and asset recovery for the English Royal Navy and his personal interests. He associated with great men of power including the King of England, Sir Arthur Chichester, Sir Walter Raleigh, Oliver Cromwell, Phineas Pett, the Earl of Nottingham and others. He is briefly mentioned in matters concerning many historically significant events where his contribution is often overshadowed by these better-known names. He was involved in the early trade routes with Africa, Portugal, the Dutch and Colonial America and probably other adventures yet to be uncovered.

  • The Family and Descendants of Sir Thomas More

    The Family and Descendants of Sir Thomas More

    The Family and Descendants of Sir Thomas More Grandparents: William More and Johanna Joye: William was a Citizen and Baker of London. He died in 1469. Johanna (d.1470) was the daughter of John Joye, a Citizen and Brewer of London and his wife Johanna, daughter of John Leycester, a Chancery Clerk. Due to the seizure of family documents by Henry VIII following Thomas More‟s execution his ancestry cannot be traced back further than this. He referred to himself as “a Londoner born, of no noble family, but of honest stock”. [Note: It has sometimes been claimed that Sir John More, Thomas More‟s father, said that his ancestors came from Ireland. However, what he actually said was that his ancestors “either came out of the Mores of Ireland, or they came out of us”. No records of any Irish links have been discovered.] Parents: Sir John More (c.1451-1530) and Agnes Graunger (d.1499): John and Agnes were married in the church of St Giles without Cripplegate, London, on 24th April 1474. Agnes was the daughter of Thomas Graunger, an Alderman of London and a Merchant of the Staple of Calais. Agnes was John More‟s first wife, and the mother of all his children. Agnes died in 1499 and was buried in the Church of St. Michael Bassishaw, London. After her death John More married again three times. His second wife was Joan Marshall (the widow of John Marshall) who died in 1505. His third wife was Joan Bowes (the widow of Thomas Bowes) who died in 1520.

    Joan Plantagenet: the Fair Maid of Kent by Susan W

    RICE UNIVERSITY JOAN PLANTAGANET THE FAIR MAID OF KENT by Susan W. Powell A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts Thesis Director's Signature: Houston, Texas April, 1973 ABSTRACT Joan Plantagenet: The Fair Maid of Kent by Susan W. Powell Joan plantagenet, Known as the Fair Maid of Kent, was born in 1328. She grew to be one of the most beautiful and influential women of her age, Princess of Wales by her third marriage and mother of King Richard II. The study of her life sheds new light on the role of an intelligent woman in late fourteenth century England and may reveal some new insights into the early regnal years of her son. There are several aspects of Joan of Kent's life which are of interest. The first chapter will consist of a biographical sketch to document the known facts of a life which spanned fifty-seven years of one of the most vivid periods in English history. Joan of Kent's marital history has been the subject of historical confusion and debate. The sources of that confusion will be discussed, the facts clarified, and a hypothesis suggested as to the motivations behind the apparent actions of the personages involved. There has been speculation that it was Joan of Kent's garter for which the Order of the Garter was named. This theory was first advanced by Selden and has persisted in this century in the articles of Margaret Galway. It has been accepted by May McKisack and other modern historians.
  • George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)

    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)

    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) Photographically innovative and entrepreneurial in business, Wilson was the most notable, successful and prolific stereo-photographer in Scotland and perhaps the entire UK. Having trained in Edinburgh as an artist, he worked as a miniature portrait painter and art teacher in Aberdeen from 1848. He started experimenting with photography in 1852, probably realising that it could potentially supplant his previous profession. In a short-lived partnership with Hay, he first exhibited stereoviews in 1853 at the Aberdeen Mechanics' Institution. A commission to photograph the construction of Balmoral Castle in 1854-55 led to a long royal association. His photos were used in the form of engravings for Queen Victoria's popular book “My Highland Journal”. His best-selling carte-de-visite of her on a pony held by Brown (judiciously cropped to remove other superfluous retainers) fuelled the gossip surrounding this relationship. His portrait studio in Aberdeen provided steady cashflow and in 1857, to promote his studio, he produced a print grouping together famous Aberdonians, one of the earliest ever examples of a photo-collage. He soon recognised that stereoviews were the key to prosperity and by 1863 had a catalogue of over 400 views from all across the UK, selling them in a wide variety of outlets including railway kiosks and inside cathedrals. His artistic training helped him compose picturesque and beautiful images, but he was also an innovative technician, experimenting on improving photographic techniques, chemistry and apparatus, working closely with camera and lens manufacturers. He was among the very first to publish “instantaneous” views, ranging from a bustling Princes Street, Edinburgh to a charming view of children paddling in the sea, both dating from 1859.
