WHEN some future Hallam, or, I would rather say, when Mr. Hallam, in some future edition of his History of European Literature,, shall have bestowed a critical attention upon the works of our national historians, the author of the following Annals will be found to have occupied a prominent literary position. Amongst the many consequences which followed upon the Introduction of Printing into England, one of the earliest was, that it made our history popular. Caxton's Chronicle effected, in that respect, a change which, half a century later, would have been the result of the dis- solution of the monasteries. It withdrew History from the exclusive care of the Church, and taught her to speak the language, and appeal directly to the feelings, of the people. But the vernacular chroniclers who succeeded the monastic writers of history, were little conscious of the importance of their task. They followed in the foot- steps of the humblest of their predecessors, and seldom VI INTRODUCTION. aimed at any higher mark than that of being found faithful and diligent annalists. They were industrious collectors of facts, pains-taking chronologists, honest narrators, but, as a body, were totally devoid of that power of description which makes manifest the truth respecting past events in such manner as to render it conducive to the instruction of mankind. In such hands History lost much of its usefulness and all its dignity, and greatly is it to be regretted that this depression of historical literature took place at a time when, in other departments of human knowledge, our at its intellectual strength was height ; when Poetry shone with pre-eminent brilliancy, and the profoundest depths of Theology were investigated with an acuteness which has never been surpassed. No doubt there were many men who saw and deplored the state of things upon which I am commenting, and there were, at any event, two who endeavoured to amend it Camden and Hayward; united in their lives as the joint historiographers of King James's College at Chelsea, and now, after the lapse of two centuries, again brought together in name, the one as the author of the follow- ing work, and the other as the patron of the Society by whom it is published. Camden and Hayward took, in- deed, different paths, and I by no means seek to place them an it is for upon equality ; honour enough Hay- INTRODUCTION. vii ward if it be allowed that both were well acquainted with the great classical models of historical composition,, and wrote with minds imbued with a strong persuasion of their many excellent qualities,, and an anxious de- sire to of their * that catch some portion spirit ; and whilst Camden was setting forth in pure and simple Latin, his admirable Britannia, and his Annales, and was placing before the world some of the most valuable of the foundations of English History in his collection of Chronicles, Hayward was composing, in our own lan- guage, works which, notwithstanding their many defects, were of a higher character, and approached more nearly to a better description of historical writing, than any which had then been published. But these remarks are premature, until I have given an outline of Hayward's biography. The rank or station of his parents, the place and time of his birth, have not been ascertained the few ; but, judging from particulars which exist, we may infer that he was born shortly after 1 560, * Hayward's feeling of respect for the authors of antiquity is " strongly expressed in the following passage in his David's Teares :" " rich admire The compositions of ancient times I reverence and ; they do not only satisfie but astonish mee. I see them not to the depth, but I see them so farre, that I conceive the farthest reach of our age cannot neerely approach them.

Hayward mentions in his will several of his relatives, and some of them as residents in that part " " Suffolk as Ursula James of ; Revett, my sister," Revett, ec of Witlesham, my sister's sonne," my halfe-brother, Mr. Thomas Brandston," "Ann Snell, of Wolverston, daughter to my half-sister ;" and, in the same document, he dis- " poses of all his lands and tenements" in Felixstow to his grandaughter, and, in case of her death under age, " directs that they shall descend according to the purport of his father's will." In his will he also states, that he received the means of his education from the parish of Felixstow, and, in " return, he bequeathes to the poor of that parish twentie pounds, to remaine as a stocke, and the profits thence ariseing to be converted to the use of the poore there * There is a coat of arms argent gutte, a fesse nebule gules in the right-hand upper corner of Hayward's engraved portrait, inserted in his Edward VI., edition 1630, but I have not been able to find any authority for rightly attributing those arms either to Hayward or any one else.

INTRODUCTION. ix for the tyme being." His education was completed at Cambridge, where he took the degree of Doctor in Civil Law.* From thence he removed to London, and prac- tised as a pleader in the Ecclesiastical Courts. He entered the world as an author at a time, and under circumstances, well calculated to secure public attention. It was near the close of the reign of Eliza- beth, when the question of the succession to the throne and the intrigues of the Earl of Essex disquieted both court and country. That nobleman, whilst apparently belonging to the party which upheld the indefeasibleness of the succession, and the consequent right of the King of Scotland, was diligently seeking popularity, surrounding himself by a band of able, zealous, and not over-peaceable followers, and acting as if he entertained ambitious hopes of himself supplanting the various competitors. Appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland, he embroiled the affairs of that country by mismanagement, and then, either acting upon a persuasion that his popularity would be a suffi- * I state this fact upon the authority of all the biographical writers who have made mention of Hayward, with the addition, also, of Cole, the Cambridge Antiquary (Addit.

Whilst in custody, preparatory to an investigation into his conduct, his numerous friends endeavoured to excite and maintain the popular feeling on his behalf. The conduct of the Queen's advisers, and, through them, that of the Queen herself, was made the of subject unsparing condemnation ; defamatory libels them were side against spread abroad on every ; " " whilst loose idlers," remarks Camden, wherever they came together, and even some clergymen in their pulpits, lauded Essex with most immoderate praise."* Hayward took part in these indiscreet and censurable proceed- the of his first the ings by publication -f~ work, being com- mencement of a Life of Henry IV., dedicated to the Earl of Essex, in terms which are an ample specimen of the " " immodicce laudes to which Camden alludes. * " Homines male feriati Essexium ubique per circulos, et ministri quidam etiam e suggestu, immodicis laudibus extulerunt."

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.

  • 0 Medieval Flokestone Robertson
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( civ ) MEDIAEVAL FOLKESTONE. FOLKESTONE gives its name to one of the Hundreds of Kent, and was the site of a nunnery (said to have been the first in England), founded in the seventh century by Eadbald, King of Kent, the father of St. Eanswith, its first Abbess. These facts prove that the town was in earlier times a place of some importance, but very little is known respecting its history, prior to the Middle Ages. It is evident that the name, spelt Polcstane in the earlier records, was given by the Saxons,* and that it was derived from the natural peculiarities of the place, its stone quarries having always played a conspicuous part in its history. They are mentioned in two extents (or valuations) of the manor of " Folcstane" which were made in the reign, of Henry III. In the first of these, dated 1263, we read that "there are there certain quarries worth per annum-)- 20s." The second gives us further information; it is dated 1271, and says "the quarry J in which mill-stones and handmill- stones are dug " is worth 20s. per annum. Such peaceful and useful implements as mill-stones were, however, by no means the only produce of these quarries. When Edward III., and his son the Black Prince, were prosecuting their conquests in France, some of the implements of war were obtained from Folkestone. On Jan. the 9th, 1356,§ the King ordered the Warden of the Cinque Ports to send over to Calais|| those stones for warlike engines which had been prepared at Folkestone.

  • Francis Bacon, Shakespeare & the Earl of Essex
    Francis Bacon, Shakespeare & the Earl of Essex A historical sketch of Francis Bacon’s association with Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, the Shakespeare Circle, the Essex Rebellion and Essex’s Trial. Author: Peter Dawkins Francis Bacon and his brother Anthony, sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, and his second wife, Lady Anne (née Cooke), had known Robert and Penelope Devereux from childhood, as they had once been neighbours, the Bacon family living in York House and the Devereux family living next door in Durham House. Also close to York House was Burghley House, home of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley, who was married to Lady Mildred (née Cooke), Lady Anne’s sister. From a young age, Francis and Anthony Bacon were often at Burghley House, and, in this way, they also came to know and befriend Philip and Mary Sidney, who were many times left in the care of the Cecils during Sir Henry Sidney’s absences in Ireland during the years 1565-1571. When Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex, died on 22 September 1576, his son Robert, now the 2nd Earl of Essex, became a ward of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and soon after, in 1577, came to live at Burghley House amongst the Cecil household. That same year (1577) Mary Sidney married Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, and in 1578 the widowed Lady Essex (Lettice Knollys) married the Queen's favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Leicester was a major patron of poets, and it was at Leicester House that the English Areopagus of poets used to meet during the 1580s.

  • 1 John Hayward and His Life of Henry IV
    INTRODUCTION / John Hayward and his Life of Henry IV Dr. John Hayward - civil servant, lawyer, historian and author of the texts presented here - complained to the Prince of Wales in 1612 that men might safely write of others in manner of a tale; but in manner of a history, safely they could not: because, albeit they should write of men long since dead, and whose posterity is clean worn out; yet some alive, finding themselves foul in those vices which they see observed, reproved, and condemned in others, their guiltiness maketh them apt to conceive, that, whatsoever the words are, the finger pointeth only at them.1 Hayward's cynicism was rooted in experience. That writing history could prove a thankless craft, even a dangerous one, he had learned first-hand. Thirteen years before, in 1599, the publication of his first historical work, The First Part of the Life and Raigne of King Henrie HII, had subjected him to frightening scrutiny by powerful officials, who suspected him of collusion with the Earl of Essex, to whom he had dedicated the book in excessively flattering terms. His book (fairly titled, for it covered only 'the first part' of Henry's career: the causes and highlights of his insurgency and the events of his first regnal year) was burned and suppressed. In 1600, after Essex's disgrace, Hayward was imprisoned in the Tower, where he remained during the earl's rebellion and the subsequent trials and executions. He was released only after the death of the queen, who in 1599 had herself accused him at least twice of sedition.

A second version of the Discours also appears in the same collection, in MSS. fonds fran9ais No. 17330, folios 1-7 ; but a comparison of the two manuscripts clearly indicates that the version in No. 17330, with its alterations, erasures, and additions, is merely a rough draft of that in No. 17890. The Discours is a report, written jointly by the two envoys, La Brosse and Menage.2 The style of the final version suggests the work of the lawyer Menage ; and if that is so, the additions to the draft, which are in a different hand, may be the work of the soldier La Brosse.

Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018. In uncovering contradictory but related understandings of addiction as devotion and compulsion in the early modern period, this book illuminates a previously-buried conception of addiction as a form of devotion at once laudable, difficult, extraordinary, and even heroic. Surveying the sixteenth century invocations of addiction – in dramatic literature and poetry, as well as political, theological and legal tracts – reveals that one might be addicted to study, friendship, love, or God. Yet this book also uncovers an early modern understanding of addiction to alcohol, evident in medical, theological and literary texts, at least a century earlier than medical historians and lexicographers have posited.

London: Bloomsbury Press, 2018. In his play King Richard III, Shakespeare presents a masterful study in the language of deception and manipulation in the character of Richard, who lies, persuades and kills on his path to the throne. This book provides insight into the rhetoric of key speeches and pays specific attention to the changing perceptions of King Richard III in history and art. The final section of this volume focuses on giving students the necessary tools and skills needed for writing effective and comprehensive essays.
