    Coins Attributed to the Yorkist Pretenders, 1487-1498 JOHN ASHDOWN-HILL Since the issue of coins is a normal concomitant of sovereignty, aspiring rulers often make a point of issuing at least a token coinage. Thus, in the aftermath of 1688 James VII and II, deprived of all his thrones by his daughter and son- in-law, continued to iésue coins in Ireland. Having no bullion at his disposal, he was reduced to producing ‘gun money’.‘ In 1708 dies were prepared for James II’s son, the ‘Old Pretender’, who planned a very beautiful silver crown coin bearing his royal title as KingJames III.2 In the nineteenth century medallic ‘coins’, which never circulated as currency, but were merely passed amongst their faithful adherents as mementos, were issued in the names of the dethroned legitimist Bourbonking ‘Hemi V’ of France, and of the Carlist pretenders to the Spanish throne. It is asserted that coins were likewise issued on behalf of the Yorkist pretenders of Henry VII’s reign, and these alleged Yorkist pieces are the subject of the present study. Although it is convenient to group the putative Yorkist specimens under the generic term ‘coins’, in fact not all of them are true coins. One alleged specimen is a jetton,3 while another appears to have been a commemorative or medallic issue, rather like those of Henri V and the Carlists. Various studies relating to the ‘coins’of the Yorkist pretenders have been published during the past 150 years. These were written by and for numismatists. 4 They concentrate on the nurnismatic evidence and make little attempt to evaluate the historical sources relating to the pretenders and their 1Coins madefromgun metal.
  • Lambert Simnel and the King from Dublin

    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.

    The Pretender's Folly: Jacobitism and the Hanoverian Succession

    The Pretender’s Folly: Jacobitism and the Hanoverian Succession Zhechao Raphael Qiu College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Florida Though the Jacobite rebellions lasted only sixty years, they left an indelible mark on English political and cultural society. The secretive nature of the Jacobite, together with bad luck and inconsistent foreign support, deprived the Jacobites of ultimate victory. Nevertheless, the Jacobite threat forced Parliament to pass important legislation in order to prevent a Jacobite restoration. Since these laws established the foundation of the British state, the Jacobites were responsible for the shaping, modernization, and centralization of Great Britain after the Glorious Revolution. The Jacobites’ main ideological principles, namely divine right and passive obedience, helped to define the Whig and Tory divide while their associations with the Tory party led to the Whig ascendance within the English government following the Hanoverian Succession of 1715. Thus, Jacobite ideals significantly influenced the development of English conservatism, which sought to promote traditional institutions and a hierarchical society built on divine right. Furthermore, their movement involved a broader social component as common dissenters seeking to express discontentment with the royal monarchy adopted their rhetoric and symbols. However, their impact on English culture was more ephemeral as government censorship and repression dampened the effect of their propaganda and literature. Following the death of Prince William, Princess Anne’s was very much displeased with continued intervention in only living heir in 1700, the English Parliament passed the its politics by its southern neighbor. In fact, Jacobite Act of Settlement in order to prevent the throne from sympathizers claimed that public disapproval of the Union reverting back to the Pretender.

Though clairned to have existed ab antiquo, these imperial privileges in fact have their origin in the late sixteenth century and bear the characteristics of western Latin ecclesial and political thought.

    The Life Of Napoleon Bonaparte. Vol. III. By William Milligan Sloane LIFE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE CHAPTER I. WAR WITH RUSSIA: PULTUSK. Poland and the Poles — The Seat of War — Change in the Character of Napoleon's Army — The Battle of Pultusk — Discontent in the Grand Army — Homesickness of the French — Napoleon's Generals — His Measures of Reorganization — Weakness of the Russians — The Ability of Bennigsen — Failure of the Russian Manœuvers — Napoleon in Warsaw. 1806-07. The key to Napoleon's dealings with Poland is to be found in his strategy; his political policy never passed beyond the first tentative stages, for he never conquered either Russia or Poland. The struggle upon which he was next to enter was a contest, not for Russian abasement but for Russian friendship in the interest of his far-reaching continental system. Poland was simply one of his weapons against the Czar. Austria was steadily arming; Francis received the quieting assurance that his share in the partition was to be undisturbed. In the general and proper sorrow which has been felt for the extinction of Polish nationality by three vulture neighbors, the terrible indictment of general worthlessness which was justly brought against her organization and administration is at most times and by most people utterly forgotten. A people has exactly the nationality, government, and administration which expresses its quality and secures its deserts. The Poles were either dull and sluggish boors or haughty and elegant, pleasure- loving nobles. Napoleon and his officers delighted in the life of Warsaw, but he never appears to have respected the Poles either as a whole or in their wrangling cliques; no doubt he occasionally faced the possibility of a redeemed Poland, but in general the suggestion of such a consummation served his purpose and he went no further.

    The Impact of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion on British Identity In

    Answering the Pretender's Declaration: The Impact of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion on British Identity in Colonial Maryland and Pennsylvania Laura O’Friel A Capstone Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History and General University Honors Professor Katharine Norris, Faculty Director American University May 2009 O’Friel 1 The fall of 1746 tested the fortitude of Reverend Thomas Cradock. An Anglican minister in Baltimore County, Maryland, Cradock found his loyalty to Britain in question. In the waning days of the Jacobite Rebellion, another Maryland Protestant accused him of drinking to the health of the Catholic Stuart Pretender, not the Protestant Hanoverian king. That November, Cradock responded by printing two of his sermons preached during the Rebellion, and in a long preface, he defended himself: “Thus considering myself as an Englishman, a Protestant, a Minister of a Protestant Church, forced me to show the sincere Joy I felt [at the Jacobite demise], and the hearty Abhorrence I had of a slavish Subjection either in Religion or Polity.”1 The levels of identity—first nation, faith, then clerical occupation—incrementally added legitimacy to his claim that he was not a Jacobite. He mentions the most important last. As an Anglican minister, he was tied directly to the security and prosperity of the British state, and equated treason toward the king as equal to blaspheming against God. 2 In this justification Cradock revealed two key aspects of colonial life. First, as a loyal British subject, Cradock could not support Catholicism or arbitrary government (specifically that of France).

  • Monarchs in Exile

    Monarchs in Exile

    MONARCHS IN EXILE KEES VAN HOEK BARELY half an hour by electric train from London lies Chisle- hurst, one of the last unspoilt corners of picturesque Kent. Though the village is predominantly Anglican by religion, there is a beautiful Catholic shrine at one of the most secluded corners of a densely wooded valley. Here the mortal remains of Napoleon III, nephew of the great Napoleon, rested before they could be taken back to France, of which he had heen the last Emperor. Near the village green a simple obelisk commemorates how his only son, the "Prince Imperial", fell in a British campaign against the Zulus, tragedy of an exile. The widowed Empress Eugenie left Camden House-now a select golf club-to live at Farnborough in Surrey, long enough to see the Peace of Velsailles restore to France the provinces which her husband had lost by the War of 1870. FROM LISBON TO TWICKENHAM On the - Thames near Twickenham lives the Hohenzollem widow of the late Dom Manuel de Braganza, once King of Portugal. His father and elder brother were shot in the carriage in which they drove together through the streets of Lisbon. Thus began his reign, which came to an end in 1911 , when he and his widowed mother barely escaped with their lives-on a British warship in the Tagus-the fury of a fierce revolution which turned Portugal into a Republic. Dom Manuel settled down to the quiet life of a sportsman and a connoisseur, much more befitting his temperament. One could meet him at every English race meeting or tennis championship of importance, the impeccable silk hat above the rather round and swarthy face with its pleasant, unaffected smile.

    The Succession and Coronation of Magnus Erlingsson

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives UNIVERSITY OF OSLO INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY, CONSERVATION AND HISTORY Dissertation for the degree of Master of Arts: Norwegian Kingship Transformed: the Succession and Coronation of Magnus Erlingsson (Depiction of Magnus Erlingsson, by Gerhard Munthe, 1899) Thomas Malo Tollefsen Spring 2015 1 2 Abstract This dissertation is an exploration of the succession and coronation of Magnus Erlingsson based upon three themes: Norwegian kingship in theory, Norwegian kingship in practise, and Norwegian kingship in context, and a search for points of similarity and contrast with European trends. In the first theme the focus of the analysis will be the coronation of Magnus Erlingsson, exploring this in two parts: the rules of kingmaking and the narration of Snorre in the Saga of Magnus Erlingsson, and motivations behind the coronation. In the second theme the focus will again be on the coronation of Magnus Erlingsson. First, this dissertation attempts to put together a workable timeline from when Magnus is acclaimed king in 1161 to his coronation in either 1163 or 1164. Then the analysis shifts to the coronation itself, before it falls on the coronation oath and the Letter of Privileges to see what they can tell us about Magnus’s kingship, and the Law of Succession and what it meant for the future. In the third theme this dissertation attempts to contextualise Magnus’s kingship and this chapter will focus on two things: acquisition, and by extension how to legitimise your rule once it has been acquired, and succession to kingship.
