A. J. POLMRD A dissertation for the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy submitted to the University of Bristol in September 1968 ST COPY AVAILA L Variable print quality a SYNOPSIS This is a study of the expansion, retention and exercise of the terri-torialv political and military power of the premier earldom of England in the most crucial century of its history. The history of the Earls of Shrewsbury has been approached in four parts, the first two covering the genealogical and-political history of the familyt the second exploring aspects of the material bases of its power. The study begins with a survey of the position of Ankaret, Lady Talbotj widow of the fourth Lordq over the turn of the century and the baptism of her elder sons in war in Wales. It carries through the his- tory of her family until the succession of her second son, Johnt to the combined inheritances of Talbotj Le Strange and Furnival in 1422. The second chapter traces the fortune of this inheritance under John, con- centratine paxticularly on the two great disputes, one with Lord Berkeley over the possession'of the barony of Berkeley, and the other with his own heir over the partition of the inheritance, in which he involved his family. The third chapter considers the fortufies of the second and third Earls in the Wars of the Roses. It is argued in this that John, second Earl of Shrewsbury is to be numbered among the moderate Lancastrians in the years 1453-60 and that Edward IV, with eventual success, took advan- tage of long minorities during his reign to reconcile the Talbots to his regime. The second part is devoted to the career of the principal founder of the family fortunes, John, Ist Eaxl of Shrewsbury. In one chapter the intervention of him and his brother Richardq Archbishop of Dublin, in the affairs of Ireland is described and in a second his long war career in Franceq which ended after thirty-three years on the field of Castillon, is traced and the legend that grow up around his name is assessed. The third and fourth parts look beyond the surface of genealogical and political history to examine the foundations of. the fmily's power and influence in its estates and affinity in the time of the first Earl. One chapter considers the composition of the first Earl's following and the influence maintained through it, particularly in Shropshirep in spite of his continued absence abroad. A second examines the composition of his retinues of war in Normandy and reveals that there were only very loose connections between these and his English following. And a third recon- structs the administration of the Talbot estates in his time, examines dhis finances and finally assesses his profits of war. The fourth and last part is a detailed study of the economic history of the largest of the Talbot estates in Shropshirep the lordship of Blackmere or Blackmere over the whole of the later middle ages. kCXNUv7LEDG3A:ENTS I am indebted to various people and organisations for assistance and guidance in completing this workp not least of whom are the staff of public archives and record offices in England and France and of the University Library.

Beatriz (1521)** No dia 5 de Agosto de 1521, a Infanta D. Beatriz (1504-1538) deixava o Paço da Ribeira para embarcar na nau Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai a caminho de Nice e do ducado de Sabóia, depois do casamento por procuração com o Duque Carlos III (1486-1553) reali- zado em Abril. O embarque assinalava o culminar de uma série de cerimónias cortesãs e eventos públicos realizados na cidade de Lisboa que se destinavam a comemorar o aus- picioso evento, que fora negociado e era interpretado de maneiras diversas pelas cortes portuguesa e saboiana. Se para D. Manuel (r. 1495-1521) era sobretudo uma maneira de procurar intervenção e afirmação dinástica na Europa mediterrânica, onde o seu campo de acção era diminuto, para o Duque, era a concretização de uma ousada estratégia polí- tico-financeira, que desviava o ducado dos matrimónios tradicionalmente ligados à Casa Real francesa, aproximando-se ao invés da dinastia imperial, e que recheava os depau- perados cofres saboianos com o rendimento do dote da Infanta, que em dinheiro, jóias, pedras preciosas, prata, tapeçarias e têxteis ascendia aos 150 000 cruzados (Buescu 2012; Merlin 2012; Pinto 2018a; Pinto 2018b).

  • Tern Valley Trail
    The ‘Discovering Wellington’ Project presents: The Tern Valley Trail A cycle trail linking the historic market town of Wellington to Thomas Telford’s lost canal country The Tern Valley Trail Between 1795 and 1796, Thomas Telford drove the Shrewsbury Canal through the lower Tern Valley near Wellington, rendering many changes to the local landscape that can still be viewed today. The year 2007 marks the 250th anniversary of the renowned Scottish civil engineer’s birth, so what better way to witness his impact in east Shropshire than to get out and see some of the changes he made first hand? Along the way you’ll uncover groundbreaking industrial heritage, medieval castle ruins, secret Second World War history and much more besides, so come with us now and discover the riparian wonders of Wellington Midsummer Fair, Market Square the Tern Valley. Wellington, then The Tern The Tern Valley Trail is a 14-mile, circular cycle route on quiet country roads, traffic-free paths and existing sections of the National Cycle Network. The trail begins and ends in the ancient market town of Wellington, the historic capital of east Shropshire. Wellington’s long and illustrious history stretches back to at least Anglo-Saxon times, while the town received its first market charter in 1244 and became a prosperous centre for industry and agriculture in the Victorian era. Today, the market is still at the centre of town life, while its comprehensive range of specialist shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs make Wellington Longdon Aqueduct an excellent place to start and end your adventure.

Henry VIII has always, to me anyway, comes across as a weak, moody,immature, totally unstable and petulant child. First edition. If you are looking for a good biography of a Catherine then I w This biography was just brilliant, it was really well written and informative, it felt very sympathetic to Catherine which to be honest is fine by me. Basically, Catherine has been reduced to the long-suffering figure of "the wife. I don't think this book did justice to Catherine. Catherine of Aragon Katharine the Quene. It added nothing more than what I knew already from general history. Note; this is an original article separated from the volume, not a reprint or copy. She also proved to be a capable ruler. About this Item: Vintage, New York, Catherine was of royal descent, being the daughter of Ferdinand V of Aragon and Isabel I of Castile and at the age of three she was betrothed to Henry VII's son and heir Arthur, Prince of Wales, as the intention was to join her native Spain to England and thus she would become an integral part of the Tudor dynasty.

  • European Treaties Bearing on the History of the United States and Its Dependencies
    European Treaties bearing on the History of the United States and its Dependencies to 1648 EDITED BY FRANCES GARDINER DAVENPORT WASHINGTON, D. C. Published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington 1917 Digitized by Google £77 ;? 3)aV CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON Publication No. 254 Papers of the Department of Historical Research J. Franklin Jamison, Editor 249833 Cft £or& ®affimor< fp«6* !' AI.TIMORR, m>., C. I. A. Digitized by Google PREFACE. The colonial dependence of the American settlements upon various Euro- pean governments brings it about, as a necessary consequence, that several of the treaties between European governments, and several of the bulls issued by the popes in virtue of their powers of international regulation, are funda- mental documents for some of the earlier portions of American history. Other treaties, or individual articles in treaties, of the period before inde- pendence, though not of fundamental importance to that history, have affected it in greater or less degree. In the period since the United States became independent, though the treaties most important to their history have been those made by their own government, not a few of the treaties concluded between European powers have had an influential bearing on the course of their development and their public action. Taken altogether, therefore, European treaties, and the earlier papal bulls, form an important portion of the original material for American history. Yet access to authentic and exact texts of them is far from easy. In a few cases, as the researches made for this volume have shown, they do not exist in print.
