    S. N. S. COLLEGE, JEHANABAD (A Constituent unit of Magadh University, Bodh Gaya) DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY KEY-NOTES JAMES-I (1603-1625) ​ FOR B.A. PART – I BY KRITI SINGH ANAND, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, DEPTT. OF HISTORY, S.N. SINHA COLLEGE, JEHANABAD 1 James I (1603 - 1625) James VI King of Scotland was the great grandson of Margaret, the daughter of HenryVIII of England. The accession of James Stuart to the English throne as James I, on the death of Elizabeth in 1603, brought about the peaceful union of the rival monarchies of England and Scotland. He tried to make the union of two very different lands complete by assuming the title of King of Great Britain. There was peace in England and people did not fear any danger from a disputed succession inside the country or from external aggression. So strong monarchy was not considered essential for the welfare of the people. Even towards the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, Parliament began to oppose the royal will. The attempts of the new king to make the two lands to have one parliament, one church and one law failed miserably, because the Scots were not interested in the union and the English Parliament did not co- operate with him for it did not trust him. James I had experience as the King of Scotland and he knew very well the history of the absolute rule of the Tudor monarchs in England. So he was determined to rule with absolute powers. He believed in the theory of Divine Right Kingship and his own accession to the English throne was sanctioned by this theory.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract. This thesis examines the influence of David Hume’s History of England during the century of its greatest popularity. It explores how far the long-term fortunes of Hume’s text matched his original aims for the work. Hume’s success in creating a classic popular narrative is demonstrated, but is contrasted with the History's failure to promote the polite ’coalition of parties’ he wished for. Whilst showing that Hume’s popularity contributed to tempering some of the teleological excesses of the ’whig version’ of English history, it is stressed that his work signally failed in dampening ’Whig’/ ’Tory’ conflict. Rather than provide a new frame of reference for British politics, as Hume had intended, the History was absorbed into national political culture as a ’Tory’ text - with important consequences for Hume’s general reputation as a thinker.

This exhibition highlights major events in British (and world) history from the sixteenth century to the present, examining the ways in which royal portraits were impacted by both the personalities of individual monarchs and wider historical change. Presenting some of the most significant royal portraits, the exhibition will explore five royal dynasties: the Tudors, the Stuarts, the Georgians, the Victorians and the Windsors shedding light on key figures and important historical moments. This exhibition also offers insight into the development of British art including works by the most important artists to have worked in Britain, from Sir Peter Lely and Sir Godfrey Kneller to Cecil Beaton and Annie Leibovitz. 2 UK WORLDWIDE 1485 Henry Tudor defeats Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, becoming King Henry VII The Tudors and founding the Tudor dynasty 1492 An expedition led by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus encounters the Americas 1509 while searching for a Western passage to Asia Henry VII dies and is succeeded Introduction by King Henry VIII 1510 The Inca abandon the settlement of Machu Picchu in modern day Peru Between 1485 and 1603, England was ruled by 1517 Martin Luther nails his 95 theses to the five Tudor monarchs.

  • The Georgians
    Crime and Punishment – The Georgians Fact Sheet Learn about crimes, laws, trials and punishments in Georgian times, between 1714-1837. Harsh punishment The Georgian era was a time of mass unemployment and many people were forced into a life of crime to survive. The Georgians used capital punishment, the death penalty, for many offences including minor crimes like stealing. This was known as the Bloody Code. Condemned people were executed in public, for everyone to see. Children were not treated any differently to adults and punished in exactly the same ways. In 1823 Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel finally removed 180 crimes from the list of those punished by execution. Reading’s rowdy revellers In Georgian times Highwaymen often robbed travellers and mail coaches on the Bath Road in Reading. Thomas Lympus robbed the mail coach outside Reading in 1738 and was later executed. Reading’s Blagrave Piazza (right), beside Saint Laurence’s church, had been a smart arcade but in the 18th century it had become ‘a place of theft, drinking and fornication’. So much so that in the 1860s the Victorians finally decided to tear it down. Crime and punishment Conditions in Georgian prisons were terrible: children were housed with adults and gaolers were often corrupt. Many inmates fell ill and died. Gaolers demanded a fee from prisoners for their release and many could not afford it. Prisons were assessed by reformers and in 1823 the Gaols Act made prisons fairer. Reading County Gaol was built in 1796, on the site of Reading Abbey. There were other older prisons in the town, the Birdewell in the GreyFriar’s nave for example and another beside Saint Mary’s church (left).

Johnson Jesse Locker Portland State University ©2012 Abstract In 1655, Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell’s Council of State commissioned a group of army officers for the purpose of “securing the peace of the commonwealth.” Under the authority of the Instrument of Government , a written constitution not sanctioned by Parliament, the Council sent army major-generals into the counties to raise new horse militias and to support them financially with a tax on Royalists which the army officers would also collect. In counties such as Essex—the focus of this study—the major-generals were assisted in their work by small groups of commissioners, mostly local men “well-affected” to the Interregnum government.

  • Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: Victorian Era Timeline
    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: Victorian Era Timeline directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 The timeline that begins on page two of this document, when combined with the biography of Queen Victoria, provides a general overview of the people and events that were shaping England and the world during the Victorian Era, the time of the play. VICTORIAN ERA OVERVIEW “Facts on Victorian England Culture” by Sabine McKellen (https://www.theclassroom.com/victorian-england-culture-22777.html) is reprinted below to give more information about the social, cultural, moral and ethical mores of the time, and as a segue to the chronology that follows: The Victorian era began with coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837 and lasted until her death in 1901. The Victorian period began as the Georgian era and the Industrial Revolution came to end. England saw many wars during the Georgian era, but the Victorian era offered important political, economic and cultural transformations to England. The period that saw the expanding of both the British Empire and the middle class responded to rapid cultural changes with rigid societal expectations. Expansion of British Influence The Victorian era is named in honor of Queen Victoria, who took the throne in 1837 and oversaw nearly 63 years of expansion of the British Empire. The United Kingdom physically extended its borders, at one point claiming nearly a quarter of the world through colonization and becoming a top political power. It also set the tone for fashion, social order and general culture throughout Europe and the United States.

  • The Four King Georges
    The Four King Georges Queen Anne ruled until 1714. After her death the Georgian Era began and was named as such because of the rule of four kings — George I, George II, George III, and George IV. The Georgian Era ran from 1714 to 1830, although many people also include the short period that William IV reigned, which ended in 1837. George I Because George I spoke English haltingly, he was considered too German. Moreover, many of his British subjects disliked him and described him as “wooden” in public. George I was extremely close to his younger half-sister Sophia Charlotte von Kielmansegg, Countess of Darlington. In fact, many people thought he was having an affair with her. He also took a long-time mistress named Madame Melusine Schulenburg (later the Duchess of Kendal). Because George’s half-sister was portly and his mistress extremely thin, the British public nicknamed them “the Elephant” and the “Maypole,” respectively. George I did much to refurbish and improve Hampton Court Palace and Kensington Palace. In 1717, during George I’s reign, Sir Issac Newton wrote a report to the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty’s Treasury about the bimetallic relationship between gold and silver coins. A royal proclamation was then issued forbidding the exchange of gold guineas for more than 21 silver shillings, which inadvertently resulted in a silver shortage and moved Britain from the silver standard to the gold standard. George I and his son, the future George II, hated each other. George II King George II was a naturalized English subject and spoke only French until he was four years old.

  • Part Four: Victorian and Edwardian Housing
    Part Four: Victorian and Edwardian Housing The period between the accession of Queen Victoria and the start of the First World War encompasses two architectural era’s; Victorian (1837–1901), covering the reign of Queen Victoria; and Edwardian (1901–1914), the latter also covering the first four years of the reign of King George V as well as the reign of King Edward VII. When Victoria became Queen in 1837, the country was still essentially a rural economy, but by 1914, it had become essentially an industrialised nation. A Victorian Terrace as a ’continuation’ of terraced houses from the late Georgian/Regency period. A dwelling from the last decade of the nineteenth century. Edwardian semi-detached houses (the house in the background is from the later inter-war period) As observed earlier in regard to Georgian housing The Industrial Revolution of the late eighteenth century and the nineteenth century led to the mass movement of the population from the countryside to those urban centres where manufacturing took place. It created the need for huge numbers of houses to be constructed for workers, managers and employers. The total population roughly doubled between 1801 and 1851. It did so again between1851 and 1911 to approximately 43 million people. Much of the demand for new housing was achieved by speculative development. Landowners and builders often undertook this in a piecemeal fashion and this can be seen today where Victorian streets often follow original field patterns. Housing for workers was rapidly erected as cheaply as possible in streets of small and medium-sized terraced housing, generally of two to four storeys but sometimes five-storey buildings, many being subdivided to house several families.

You are required to buy two of them. List and details are available on the first day and on the class web page. The Tudors and the Stuarts have a checkered history. When we think of the Tudors we think of Henry VIII and his insatiable sexual appetite, Queen Mary's Bloody intolerance of Protestants, and Queen Elizabeth's Royal mystique. When we think of the Stuarts, we often think of kingly incompetence, bumbled diplomacy, one failed Revolution and one glorious one. But there is more to the Tudor-Stuart period (1485-1714) than the Kings and Queens, however interesting they may be. This course seeks to examine the social and cultural world behind the power of the Royals. Was the path to Protestantism relatively seamless among the populace? What was the relationship with Scotland and Ireland? How did the idea of empire emerge? With a powerful Queen in Elizabeth, did ideas about women in politics shift, or did ideas about proper gender roles persist? Classes are a mixture of lecture and discussion.
