  • A Short Description of the Original Building Accounts of Kikby Muxloe Castle, Leicestershire
    ORIGINAL BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIRBY MUXLOE OASTLE. 87 A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING ACCOUNTS OF KIKBY MUXLOE CASTLE, LEICESTERSHIRE, RECENTLY DISCOVEBED AT THE MANOR HOUSE, ASHBY­DE­LA­ZoUOH. BY THOS. H. FOBBROOKE, F.S.A. The Manuscripts and other Documents belonging to the ancient family of Hastings, of Ashby­de­la­Zouch, are amongst the finest and most interesting in the kingdom. After the destruction of their ancient castle at Ashby, these papers were stored at Donington Hall, but since the recent sale of that estate have been housed at the Manor House at Ashby­ de­la­Zouch, where through the kindness of Lady Maud Hastings, they were exhibited to, and much admired by, the members of the Leicestershire Archaeological Society, on the occasion of their annual excursion last year. One of the most interesting of these MSS. is a XV. century book of building accounts, relating to the erection of Kirby Castle by William Lord Hastings, between the years 1480 and 1484. This book was first shewn to me when I was measuring the ruined castle at Ashby, the drawings of which were afterwards published by this Society in the Reports and Papers of the Asso­ ciated Societies' Publication, Vol. XXI., Part 1 (1911). On the discovery that the accounts related entirely to Kirby Castle, they were entrusted to my care through the kindness of Lady Maud Hastings, and I at once communicated with C. R. Peers, Esq., Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries, who at that time was engaged on the conservation of the old ruin at Kirby, under the Ancient Monuments Act.

  • Home Guard: the Forces to Meet the Expected French Invasions / 1
    The Napoleon Series Home Guard: 1805 HOME GUARD: THE FORCES TO MEET THE EXPECTED FRENCH INVASION / 1 SEPTEMBER 1805 The Peace of Amiens lasted 14 months, until Britain declared war on France on 18 May 1803. Napoleon turned his attention to invading England, saying: "All my thoughts are directed towards England. I want only for a favourable wind to plant the Imperial Eagle on the Tower of London." He started to assemble an expeditionary force at Boulogne. The invasion scare started in the middle of 1803. In the next six months, the British government's call for volunteers to resist an invasion was met with a massive response; within a few weeks 280,000 men had volunteered, and the government was unprepared for this numbers of volunteers. The Invasion Scare lasted for roughly two years. Britain’s ‘Home Guard’ of an earlier era watched the coast of France nervously as the Emperor Napoleon assembled a vast armed camp centred on Boulogne, and named them the ‘Army of England’. On 26 August 1805, in response to dramatically changing political events in the east, the Emperor Napoleon ordered Marechal Berthier to send the newly-christened Grande Armèe on a line of march eastwards, ultimately towards Ulm, Vienna and the foggy hills of Austerlitz. Some 180,000 French troops left Boulogne. The Invasion Scare was over. The British Army to repel such an invasion, had it come, was as follows. Many of the General Officers were tasked with commanding the numerous Militia and Volunteer units, and seemingly often held multiple commands. This article, drawn from wide variety of articles and not all of a common date, presents as close a picture as can be discovered of the organisation and location of the regulars, militia and volunteers in the week Napoleon turned east.

  • How Useful Are Episcopal Ordination Lists As a Source for Medieval English Monastic History?
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. , No. , July . © Cambridge University Press doi:./S How Useful are Episcopal Ordination Lists as a Source for Medieval English Monastic History? by DAVID E. THORNTON Bilkent University, Ankara E-mail: [email protected] This article evaluates ordination lists preserved in bishops’ registers from late medieval England as evidence for the monastic orders, with special reference to religious houses in the diocese of Worcester, from to . By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost. Surviving sources such as the profession and obituary lists from Christ Church Canterbury and the records of admissions in the BL = British Library, London; Bodl.
