  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • HRH Prince Philip by Royal Appointment…
    HRH Prince Philip By Royal Appointment… Steve Slater looks back at the Turbulent flying episode of the late Duke of Edinburgh… rinces Harry and William have rightly hit the headlines in past years with their rotary- wing flying and their father, Prince Charles, was an enthusiastic pilot too. However, so far only one member of the Royal Family has ever flown a single-seat aircraft, and that is the late and much-mourned, HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. PWhile Prince Philip had been RAF-trained (on a DH82A Tiger Moth and a Harvard), the single-seater that he flew wasn’t a fighter type. It was a Druine Turbulent, owned by the Tiger Club and powered by a 1500cc Volkswagen. It was a sign of a passion for flying, which led to the Duke clocking up 5,986 hours in 59 types of aircraft before hanging up his headset in 1997. The invitation to fly the Turbulent came from his equerry, Squadron Leader John Severne (a former Lightning pilot, later to become Captain of the Queen’s Flight, and later still Air Vice-Marshal Sir John Severne). He had used the aircraft, G-APNZ, in the 1959 King’s Cup Air Race, ‘entered’ by Prince Philip in the manner of a racehorse owner and trainer. The aircraft was specially painted white with a green flash with the Duke’s crest painted on the cockpit side. On 24 October of that same year, the Turbulent was flown from the Tiger Club’s base at Redhill to White Waltham, while Prince Philip arrived from Windsor Castle and donned his RAF flying suit.

    “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity.

She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. At the time she stood third in line of succession to the throne after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and her father, The Duke of York. But it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen. The Duke and Duchess of York with Princess Elizabeth The Queen’s early life The Princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. She was named after her mother, while her two middle names are those of her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, and paternal grandmother, Queen Mary. The Princess's early years were spent at 145 Piccadilly, the London house taken by her parents shortly after her birth, and at White Lodge in Richmond Park. She also spent time at the country homes of her paternal grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother's parents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close. The Queen’s early life When she was six years old, her parents took over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park as their own country home. Princess Elizabeth's quiet family life came to an end in 1936, when her grandfather, King George V, died.

    “THE PRIDE, THE GLORY OF BRITAIN AND THE DIRECT END OF ITS CONSTITUTION IS POLITICAL LIBERTY.” “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project The People of Cape Cod: King George III HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CAPE COD: KING GEORGE III PEOPLE MENTIONED IN CAPE COD CAPE COD : When I approached this house the next summer, over the PEOPLE OF desolate hills between it and the shore, which are worthy to have been the birthplace of Ossian, I saw the wizard in the midst of CAPE COD a cornfield on the hillside, but, as usual, he loomed so strangely, that I mistook him for a scarecrow. This was the merriest old man that we had ever seen, and one of the best preserved. His style of conversation was coarse and plain enough to have suited Rabelais. He would have made a good Panurge. Or rather he was a sober Silenus, and we were the boys Chromis SILENUS and Mnasilus, who listened to his story. CHROMIS “Not by Hæmonian hills the Thracian bard, MNASILUS Nor awful Phœbus was on Pindus heard With deeper silence or with more regard.” There was a strange mingling of past and present in his conversation, for he had lived under King George, and might have remembered when Napoleon and the moderns generally were born. He said that one day, when the troubles between the Colonies and the mother country first broke out, as he, a boy of fourteen, was pitching hay out of a cart, one Doane, an old Tory, who was talking with his father, a good Whig, said to him, “Why, Uncle Bill, you might as well undertake to pitch that pond into the ocean with a pitchfork, as for the Colonies to undertake to gain their independence.” He remembered well General Washington, and how he rode his horse along the streets of Boston, and he stood up to show us how he looked.
