John Spence Pembroke College, Cambridge
The Identity of Rauf de Boun, Author of the Petit Bruit John Spence Pembroke College, Cambridge The chronicle called the Petit Bruit was written by meistre Rauf de Boun in 1309. 1 The Petit Bruit is preserved in full in only one manuscript: London, British Library, MS Harley 902, ff. I' - II '.' It recounts the history of England from the arrival oflegendary Trojan founder Brutus down to Edward I, interspersed with legendary characters such as King Arthur, Havelok and Guy of Warwick. This might sound like a familiar pattern for a late medieval chronicle of England, but despite this the identity of the Petit Bruit's sources have remained unclear.' Many details of Rauf de Boun's account differ greatly from the legendary history familiar from Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae and its descendants, and the Petit Bruit sometimes also distorts more factual material, as when Edward the Confessor is succeeded by his brother, the imaginary Miles, who in turn is murdered by Harold, who has also become Edward the Confessor's (and Miles's) brother.' It has to be said that Raurs grasp of the span of English history does not seem very firm, and he has been much criticised for this, most memorably by Sir Frederic Madden who ;n 1828 referred to him as a 'miserable History-monger'.' The anomalous nature of the Petit Bruit has perhaps led historians to undervalue the work, however. After all, playing fast and loose with Geoffrey of Monmouth's confection of British legends hardly disqualifies Rauf de Boun from being a capable chronicler of more recent history.

The Topographer Genealogist
THE TOPOGRAPHER AND GENEALOGIST. THE ANCIENT EARLDOMS OF ENGLAND.

He neither indulged in theories, in order to · display bis own penetration or ingenuity; nor admitted legendary fictions and cunningly devised fables to flatter either the fond fancies of old families or the unwarranted assumptions of new.

1 the Correspondence of Thomas Hobbes
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto 1 THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THOMAS HOBBES: SOME NEW ITEMS by NOEL MALCOLM (All Souls College, Oxford) and MIKKO TOLONEN (University of Helsinki) The first collected edition of Hobbes’s correspondence was published in 1994.1 In its preface, the editor asked the question, ‘How can an editor of an author’s complete correspondence know that his edition is complete?’, and replied: ‘The short answer is that he cannot.’2 Given that Hobbes lived to the age of ninety-one, and had a wide range of intellectual contacts in England and abroad, the tally of his surviving correspondence (roughly 211 items, depending on how a ‘letter’ is defined) is surprisingly small; this encourages the belief that other letters must remain in the archives, as yet undiscovered. But since 1994 only one new item has been published: a letter sent to Hobbes in Paris by his old friend Robert Payne in 1649. That letter is a document of unusual importance, as it represents, in effect, an attempt to parry or soften the anti-episcopal arguments of Leviathan at a time when that book was in preparation.3 Nothing else of comparable significance has yet come to light. The purpose of this communication is to put forward a number of more modest discoveries, some of which amount only to small fragments, or traces of letters which are known to have been preserved for a long time after Hobbes’s death, but which are as yet unlocated. (With a figure of Hobbes’s stature, nevertheless, even the smallest fragments may be of some 2 value to future researchers.) First it presents the text of a complete letter to Hobbes, found by Dr Arnold Hunt in Lambeth Palace Library.

'The Political Career of Edward Sackville, Fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)'
'THE POLITICAL CAREER OF EDWARD SACKVILLE, FOURTH EARL OF DORSET (1590-1652)' BY DAVID LAWRENCE SMITH SELWYN COLLEGE A Dissertation submitted in the Faculty of History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Michae1mas Term 1989 ABSTRACT Title: 'The Poli tical Career of Edward Sackvi1le, fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)' Author: David Lawrence Smith, Selwyn College This dissertation seeks to illuminate early Stuart political history by a study of one important public figure. The fourth Earl of Dorset was a member of Charles I's Privy Council, Lord Chamberlain to Queen Henrietta Maria, and Lord Lieutenant of Sussex and Middlesex. He attended all the Parliaments of the 1620's, and sat in the Short and Long Parliaments. He was active in Court and Council throughout the 1630's, and sided with the King in the Civil War. He consistently advocated harmony and reconciliation in a period of growing polarisation. This study investigates Dorset's perception of early seventeenth century political developments, his response to them, and the reasons why he and other moderates failed to prevent civil war. It thus contributes to current debates both on the early modern peerage, and on the origins and nature of the English Civil War. The first chapter looks at Dorset's life and career up to the age of thirty. In Chapter Two a discussion of his rapid rise to political prominence during the 1620's explores the reasons for his success and the nature of his motivation. Chapter Three investigates Dorset's activities as a Privy Councillor and as the Queen's Lord Chamberlain in the 1630's.

Lambert Simnel and the King from Dublin
Lambert Simnel and the King from Dublin GORDON SMITH Throughout his reign (1485-1509) Richard III's supplanter Henry VII was troubled by pretenders to his throne, the most important of whom were Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck.1 Both are popularly remembered perhaps because their names have a pantomime sound to them, and a pantomime context seems a suitable one for characters whom Henry accused of being not real pretenders but mere impersonators. Nevertheless, there have been some doubts about the imposture of Perkin, although there appear to have been none before now about Lambert.2 As A.F. Pollard observed, 'no serious historian has doubted that Lambert was an impostor'.3 This observation is supported by the seemingly straightforward traditional story about the impostor Lambert Simnel, who was crowned king in Dublin but defeated at the battle of Stoke in 1487, and pardoned by Henry VII. This story can be recognised in Francis Bacon's influential history of Henry's reign, published in 1622, where Lambert first impersonated Richard, Duke of York, the younger son of Edward IV, before changing his imposture to Edward, Earl of Warwick.4 Bacon and the sixteenth century historians derived their account of the 1487 insurrection mainly from Polydore Vergil's Anglica Historia, but Vergil, in his manuscript compiled between 1503 and 1513, said only that Simnel counterfeited Warwick.5 The impersonation of York derived from a life of Henry VII, written around 1500 by Bernard André, who failed to name Lambert.6 Bacon's York-Warwick imitation therefore looks like a conflation of the impostures from André and Vergil.

W.E. Gladstone Exhibition Boards
W.E. Gladstone The Grand Old Man in Nottinghamshire William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98) was probably the most famous political figure of the nineteenth century. Initially a Conservative, he became a committed Liberal and served as Prime Minister of Britain and Ireland four times between 1868 and 1894. He was popularly known as ‘The People’s Illustration of the ceremony, from Illustrated London News, William’, and, in later life, as the ‘Grand Old Man’, vol. 71, 6 October 1877. or more simply as ‘G.O.M.’ W.E. Gladstone from Thomas Archer, William Ewart Gladstone and his contemporaries (1898), vol. 1 (University Special Collection DA563.4.A7). Born in Liverpool of Scottish ancestry, Gladstone died at his wife’s family home in Hawarden, Wales, but Nottinghamshire was the location of his earliest political success and retained a special interest for him throughout his life. This exhibition commemorates the bicentenary of Gladstone’s birth on 29 December 1809. It demonstrates the diversity of Gladstone’s links with the county and the city of Nottingham, and uses local material to illustrate a few of the themes that engaged Gladstone in his political career.
