It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • Henry Hatch and the Battle Over His Will
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society HENRY HATCH AND THE BATTLE OVER HIS WILL1 Mrs. P.G.M. HYDE. M.A., M.Litt. Henry Hatch was a man of vision. He has long been recognised in Faversham as a great benefactor, because he left his estate to the town, after providing a life tenancy for his wife, Joan. W. K. Jordan, who wrote on Social Institutions in Kent, reckoned that the properties had a capital value at his death of about £2,400 75. Od. and that it was the largest single benefaction for municipal betterment in Kent in the period. What has probably not been realised is the extent to which his dreams inspired his fellow townsmen for the rest of the century. Furthermore, as his wife survived him by forty years and as there were a number of lawsuits with disappointed relatives, the townsmen learnt to unite in the face of danger and showed a strong community feeling, certain that Hatch's plans were now theirs by right. They were, indeed, prepared to make a considerable sacrifice to carry them out. In an eighteenth-century document, it was reckoned that they had spent £619 8s. 2d., while Jordan estimated £200 in mortmain and £300 in legal costs. They raised £226 12s. 2d. from taxes on the inhabitants, and, in order to pay them back, had to sell most of the town lands. The local historian, Jacob, reckoned that their legal costs 'amounted to upwards of £300 more than the full value of the estate bequeathed upon a fair estimation.' He added that only a few people put in a claim of return for tax and commented on 'the commendable stand the members of the corporation then made.' During the intervening years, the town built a sluice to scour the 1 Punctuation has been added and modern spelling has been used throughout.

N. MCGITER THE militia of Kent formed part of that vast mobile army, 27,000 foot and 2,500 horse, which was detailed to stay in the maritime counties and to shadow the Armada up the Channel.' Special arrangements were made for mutual aid between the maritime counties, and these covered the more vulnerable parts of the coast on which the enemy might hazard a landing. Kent, for example, was to send 4,000 men to any port or part of Sussex threatened, and should the Isle of Sheppey be chosen by the enemy, the shire of Essex would send 6,000 men to join the 4,000 in Kent for that area of defence.2 A list of the 'dangerous places' and of places 'fittest to be putt in defence to hinder th'enemye' was drawn up for Kents numerous lists for the other maritime counties also exist.
