TOWARDS CONSORTSHIP: PERFORMING RITUAL, INTERCESSION, AND NETWORKING IN TUDOR AND EARLY STUART ENGLAND by Courtney Herber A DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Major: History Under the Supervision of Professor Carole Levin Lincoln, Nebraska November, 2020 TOWARDS CONSORTSHIP: PERFORMING RITUAL, INTERCESSION, AND NETWORKING IN TUDOR AND EARLY STUART ENGLAND Courtney Herber, Ph.D. University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Carole Levin Historically, the study of consorts has largely focused on how women performed the role – generally analyzing how a particular queen acted as a royal wife, mother, and manager of her household. While this makes sense as most of the consorts in English history were women, this is not the whole picture of the varied political roles of a consort. Looking at all of the foreign-born consorts in the Tudor and early Stuart years, one can clearly see that while the duties of a wife were important for the majority of individuals who took on the mantle of consort, that description does not fit all who sat at the side of the sovereign. That is because the majority of foreign-born individuals who took on the role of consort in those years, Katherine of Aragon, Anna of Denmark, and Henriette Marie de Bourbon, were all indeed royal wives, in addition to being royal consorts. Philip of Spain, though, was a consort but was certainly not a royal wife. In this dissertation, I argue that a consort’s duties, while encompassing their role as a royal wife or husband, were largely political in nature and were facets of peaceweaving. Children were never a guarantee, but a foreign-born consort brought the possibilities of peace and prosperity to England through their marriage, their capacity for intercession, the crafting and utilization of domestic networks of obligation, and the maintenance of their natal and friendship networks abroad. For Geoff – my partner in everything iv Acknowledgements I am so humbled and so grateful for all of the love, support, and swift kicks to the rear that I have gotten over my years in higher education. “You’re killing me, smalls,” is still my favorite comment to have ever received on a paper from a professor, but it was exactly what I needed when I needed it. My experiences over my eleven years in undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and graduate study have been much like that - filled with incredibly kind and helpful people who sometimes also ripped off the bandage and encouraged me to get back to the work at hand. There is no way that I can possibly thank all of them by name… so thank you. I have been lucky enough to have had three fantastic mentors along my journey who all gave generously of their time, care, and expertise. David Nordmann, at Coe College back at the dawn of the twenty first century, was the first person to encourage me to think about graduate study in history. I was an education major at the time and not sure where I was going after I graduated. I had studied under him my entire four years at Coe, learning all about Japan, China, Korea and some European Renaissance and Reformation, and I loved every minute of it. It was even he who first mooted the possibility that I study Tudor & Stuart England. I’m not sure if he was prescient or if my interest in the period was that plain, but his suggestion planted the seed in my mind. His enthusiastic approach to teaching helped me to become confident in my own research capabilities. He treated me as a colleague long before I realized it myself. Thank you. After taking a few (or more than a few…) gap years, I ended up at Northern Michigan University, on the beautiful shores of Lake Superior. I told myself I was only following Geoff, who had been accepted as a fully-funded MA student in NMU’s English v department. I attended courses as well, to finish the history major I’d started all those years ago at Coe. On our first Vango’s night, an annual pizza-filled tradition, I met Chet DeFonso, chair of the department. He was excitedly talking about a class he wanted to offer in the Winter Term on Tudor history. Naturally, I joined the course and had an amazing time sharing with my classmates my theories on the Princes in the Tower and on how Anne Boleyn was executed with a sword and not an axe. After the course, I asked Chet if we could set up a directed study as I wanted to continue studying early modern England – it was he who fortuitously suggested I work on Anna of Denmark and masquing. It was also Chet who secured full funding for me to travel to present my work on Anna at Kings and Queens in Winchester, where I met Carole. Chet- I’ve loved getting to travel with you and I hope that we’ll get to meet up at conferences or whenever you end up flying through. Thank you, and I look forward to many more get togethers over coffee and tea. None of this would have been possible without the unflagging and fervent support of Carole Levin. She’s been so supportive and helpful ever since I met her at Winchester six years ago. From giving me feedback on that first conference presentation to gently letting me know I should probably redo a paper on Macbeth to reading every piece I send her, she’s helped me to grow as a writer, a researcher, and as a historian. Carole’s worked tirelessly for all of her students, but I have been especially demanding. I am so grateful that she saw something in me back in Winchester and that I can count myself as one of her students. I can only hope that one day I’ll get to share my love, passion, and hard-won expertise with others as she has. Carole, you are a gift. Thank you. vi In addition to my brilliant mentors who set me on, supported, and dragged me along this path towards a PhD, I have also benefitted from the care, expertise, and time shared by so many other wonderful professors. Some of the research that I presented as part of my MA portfolio was incorporated into this behemoth of a dissertation, and it was certainly made all the better because of their thoughtful feedback. To my MA committee: Alexander Vazansky, Julia Schleck, Jessica Coope, Ian Borden, and Carole, who gave me so many wonderful suggestions and helped me to think ahead for the dissertation; thank you. I have learned so much from the individuals who make up my doctoral committee – I have been lucky enough to do directed studies or work one-on-one in some capacity with each of you and have been humbled by your generosity and kindness. If academia were entirely made of professors like you, the world would be all the better for it. You each are a credit to your field with your exemplary scholarship, and each of you are kind, wonderful human beings. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with me: Ian, Kelly, Jeannette, Amy, Carole, and John. I have also benefitted from the friendship and generosity of other scholars and colleagues that there are far too many to name here individually. I will, however, mention two brilliant scholars who took the time to share their unpublished work with me which helped during the writing of this dissertation. Charles Beem – you are always a delight to talk with and I cannot wait until we get to meet up again, hopefully at SCRC or K&Q! Thank you so much for sharing your pre-publication Queenship in Early Modern Europe with me, it was pivotal in pulling together my own ideas about the differences and similarities between queenship and vii consortship. I will make sure to bring my copy of the book to our next meetup to get you to sign it! Joanne Paul – you have been one of my best friends since I met you in Winchester back in 2014. I still do not quite understand what an English pudding is supposed to be, but I learned a lot from your impromptu masterclass on wine tasting at the conference dinner! You have been unfailingly kind, supportive, and amazingly generous with sharing your home, your thoughts, and your work with me. I have been honored to get to help even a little bit on your Dudley book with bits and bobs of research. Thank you for sharing your unpublished chapters where the themes intersected with my own research. Thank you also, for sharing some of your archival research with me, it informed my understanding of how Katherine of Aragon crafted her domestic network and how she used that network abroad.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

Source: Montacute1 Portrait on the right described by Philip Mould as Portrait of an unknown french noblewoman: www.historicalportraits.com: Image Library _____________________________________________________________________ The french influence noted by the firm of Philip Mould regarding the latter portrait may be a consequence of the fact that Elizabeth’s husband, Sir Thomas Leighton, served as Governor of Jersey (1570- 1 As an interesting aside, Elizabeth Knolly’s black hat was displayed at the National Maritime Museum in 2003 in an exhibition curated by David Starkey.

    THE SIX WIVES OF KING HENRY VIII Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived! Ready for a trip back in time? Here at Nat Geo Kids, we’re travelling back to Tudor England in our Henry VIII wives feature. Hold onto your hats – and your heads! Henry VIII wives… 1. Catherine of Aragon Henry VIII’s first wife was Catherine of Aragon, daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. Eight years before her marriage to Henry in 1509, Catherine was in fact married to Henry’s older brother, Arthur, who died of sickness at just 15 years old. Together, Henry and Catherine had a daughter, Mary – but it was a son that Henry wanted. Frustrated that Catherine seemed unable to produce a male heir to the throne, Henry had their marriage annulled (cancelled) in 1533. But there’s more to the story – towards the end of their marriage, Henry fell in love with one of Catherine’s ladies-in-waiting (woman who assisted the queen) – Anne Boleyn… 2. Anne Boleyn Anne Boleyn became Henry’s second wife after the pair married secretly in January 1533. By this time, Anne was pregnant with her first child to Henry, and by June 1533 she was crowned Queen of England. Together they had a daughter, Elizabeth – the future Queen Elizabeth I. But, still, it was a son – and future king of England – that Henry wanted. Frustrated, he believed his marriage was cursed and that Anne was to blame. And so, he turned his affections to one of Anne’s ladies-in-waiting, Jane Seymour.

    El acercamiento de la monarquía castellana a la Orden de los Predicadores durante el reinado de Juan II de Castilla (1406-1454)1* The Relationship between the Castilian Monarchy and the Order of Preachers during the Reign of John II of Castile (1406-1454)2 Juan Antonio Prieto Sayagués3 Universidad de Valladolid [email protected] Recibido: 26/10/2015 Aceptado: 14/01/2016 RESUMEN Desde la llegada al trono de la dinastía Trastámara los diferentes monarcas castellanos llevaron a cabo una serie de actuaciones respecto a las órdenes religiosas. Durante los primeros años, éstas estuvieron dirigidas, en su mayoría, a la orden franciscana, a lo que habría que sumar la introducción en Castilla de la orden de la Cartuja y las primeras fundaciones jerónimas. Sin embargo, las reinas Beatriz de Portugal y Catalina de Lancaster, junto al infante Fernando de Antequera, fueron los protagonistas del cambio devocional que se produjo en Castilla y que alcanzó su cénit al alcanzar la mayoría de edad Juan II. Desde finales del siglo XIV vieron la luz una serie de fundaciones dominicas y se reformaron algunos conventos por parte de estos personajes; de manera progresiva, comenzaron a confiar en los frailes de esta orden diferentes cometidos espirituales, sociales y políticos. Palabras clave: Trastámaras, cambio devocional, reformas, Juan II, Orden de los Predicadores. ABSTRACT Following the rise of the Trastámaran dynasty, Castilian kings took several actions concerning religious orders. In the early years, these were mostly directed at the Franciscan Order. In addition, the Carthusian order was established in the kingdom and the first Hieronymite monasteries were founded.
