EDITED BY 0. EVELEIGH WOODRUFF, M.A. INTRODUCTION THE thirty-two letters and petitions which, by the courtesy of the Dean and Chapter, I have been permitted to trans- cribe, and now to offer to the Kent Archasological Society for pubhcation, were written—with the exception of three or four—in the seventeenth century, on the eve of the troublous times which culminated in the overthrow of Church and King, or in the years immediately fohowing the restoration of the monarchy when deans and chapters, once more in possession of their churches, and estates, were reviving the worship and customs which had been for many years in abeyance. One letter, however, is of earher date than the seventeenth century and three are later. Thus number one is from the pen of Dr. Nicholas Wotton, the first dean of the New Eoundation. Wotton, who was much employed in affairs of state, did not spend much time at Canterbury. His letter, which is dated from London, February 11th, 1564-5, is addressed to his brethren the prebendaries of Canterbury, and its purport is to inform them that Sir Thomas Gresham has offered to build, at his own proper cost and charges, a new Royal Exchange in the city of London.

JRMMRA 9 (1988) The Elizabethan Diplomatic Service by F. Jeffrey Platt Northern Arizona University The critical early years of Elizabeth's reign witnessed a watershed in European history. The 1559 Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis, which ended the long Hapsburg-Valois conflict, resulted in a sudden shift in the focus of international politics from Italy to the uncomfortable proximity of the Low Countries. The arrival there, 30 miles from England's coast, in 1567, of thousands of seasoned Spanish troops presented a military and commer­ cial threat the English queen could not ignore. Moreover, French control of Calais and their growing interest in supplanting the Spanish presence in the Netherlands represented an even greater menace to England's security. Combined with these ominous developments, the Queen's excommunica­ tion in May 1570 further strengthened the growing anti-English and anti­ Protestant sentiment of Counter-Reformation Europe. These circumstances, plus the significantly greater resources of France and Spain, defined England, at best, as a middleweight in a world dominated by two heavyweights.

  • The Barons of New Romney in Parliament
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 44 ) THE BABONS OE NEW EOMNEY IN PARLIAMENT. BY JOHN STOKES. THE recent visit of our Society to Romney may serve as an excuse for printing the following list of those persons who are known to have represented the burgesses of the ancient town and port in Parliament. No return of Members is extant until the year 1366, but from that year (except apparently for a short period during the Commonwealth) Romney sent two Barons to Parliament until the borough was disfranchised by the Reform Bill of 1832. Of the one hundred and seventy-two Parliaments convened between these dates, one hundred and twenty are known to have comprised Members from Romney, and of these I have suc- ceeded in recovering one hundred and forty-nine names, to many of which I have added a short biographical note. For the first two hundred years or so, when Romney was still a seaport of importance, her representatives seem for the most part to have been resident in the town or neighbourhood. In Tudor times this was less common, though the Mayor was not infrequently chosen to represent in Parliament the town in which he was the Chief Magistrate. After 1613 local celebrities disappear from the roll, and for the next hundred and fifty years the representation of the town was in the hands of leading county families.
