For influential calls to close the gaps between political and social history, see Patrick Collinson, De Republic Anglorum: Or History with the Politics Put Back (Cambridge, 1990); Smuts, Stuart Court and Europe.

Kishlansky (eds), Political Culture and Cultural Politics in Early Modern England (Manchester, 1995). The focus on 'popular culture' is well repre­ sented in Paul Griffiths, Adam Fox and Steve Hindle (eds), The Experience of Authority in Early Modern England (Basingstoke, 1996); see also Tessa Watt, Cheap Print and Popular Piety, 1550-1640 (Cambridge, 1991); Dagmar Freist, Governed by Opinion: Politics, Religion and the Dynamics of Communication in Stuart London, 1637-1645 (London, 1997); and the important chapters by 174 Notes 175 Cogswell, 'Underground Verse and the Transformation of Early Stuart Pol­ itical Culture', in Amussen and Kishlansky (eds), Political Culture, and Alastair Bellany, '''Raylinge Rymes and Vaunting Verse": Libellous Politics in Early Stuart England, 1603-1628', in Sharpe and Lake (eds), Culture and Politics. 7. See, for example, the extensive discussion of Brenner, New Left Review, 207 (September/November 1994) pp. 103-33, and the continuing very vigorous criticisms of Underdown and associated scholars, as Andy Wood, 'Beyond Post-revisionism?

Adamson's use of sources has been convincingly criticized by Mark Kishlan­ sky, 'Saye What?', Historical journal, 33 (1990) pp. 917-37, but his argument that the political role of the peerage has been underplayed in much of the historiography demands careful discussion.

Richard Cust and Ann Hughes (eds), Conflict in Early Stuart England: Studies in Religion and Politics, 1603-1642 (Harlow, 1989), especially the editors' 'In­ troduction: After Revisionism', gives a fuller account of the debates of the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

LEIB &ANDREW KENT* ABSTRACT A law of public office crystallized in Anglo-American law in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This body of law—defined and enforced through a mix of oaths, statutes, criminal and civil case law, impeachments, and legislative investigations—imposed core duties on holders of public executive offices: officials needed to serve the public good, not their own private interests; were barred from acting ultra vires; could often be required to account to the public for their conduct in office; and needed to act with impartiality, honesty, and diligence. Officeholding came to be viewed as conditional, with officers removable for misdeeds. These substantive duties within the law of public office—even if not its enforcement structure—reflected something that looks similar to modern fiduciary duties of loyalty and care.

  • Penry the Historian, by Sir Keith Thomas
    Penry the historian, by Sir Keith Thomas Penry was never a mere scholar. As a small boy, his main interests were cricket, riding and, thanks to his father (who had been Handicapper to the Calcutta Turf Club) horse-racing. When still at school he also developed a strong aesthetic sense and came `to believe that art, literature and classical music were the most important things in life’. As a man, he was cultivated and well-rounded, charming, witty, forthright and kind, with a huge range of interests and commitments. He loved walking in the Welsh hills. He greatly enjoyed travelling and relished landscapes, pictures and old buildings. He was an inveterate concert-goer and had a passion for opera. In his youth, he canvassed for the Labour party and in retirement he was a passionate opponent of injustice and an active helper of asylum-seekers threatened with deportation. He combined administrative ability with unselfishness and a strong sense of duty. New College and the History Faculty saddled him with a host of responsibilities, all of which he discharged with tact, efficiency and human understanding. He was invariably sympathetic, encouraging and helpful to newcomers and to people in distress. Many think of him as the best Warden the College never had. Above all, he was loving and attentive as a husband to June, a father to Sarah and Jonathan, and, later, a partner to Sylvia. It is against this hinterland of a life lived to the full that his career as a student, teacher and writer of history must be set.

His father was Anglo-Irish. The Aylmers—the name derives from the Anglo-Saxon Aethelmar, latinised as Ailmerus—had taken part in the Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland. Sir Gerald Aylmer was Chief Justice of Ireland in the second quarter of the sixteenth century. After him came many high-ranking naval and military officers. Admiral Matthew Aylmer commanded the British Fleet during the War of the Spanish Succession and was made an Irish peer. The fifth Lord Aylmer fought in the Penin- sular War and was Governor-General of Canada. The sixth was an admi- ral who had been with Nelson at the Nile. General Sir Fenton Aylmer won the Victoria Cross in India. Gerald’s mother was descended from self- made South Wales business people, but there were two more admirals on her side of the family. Gerald’s great-uncle Willie, Lord Desborough, was the father of the First World War poet, Julian Grenfell, and a celebrated athlete: President of the MCC, the Lawn Tennis Association, the Amateur Fencing Associ- ation, and the 1908 Olympic Games. He stroked an eight across the Chan- nel, climbed in the Alps, shot in India and Africa, twice swam Niagara and was elected an Honorary Fellow of Balliol.

  • Private Papers of John Barron
    1 St Peter’s College – Archives SP:P25 – The Papers of Professor John Barron Name(s) of creator(s): Barron, John Penrose (1934-2008), academic and educational administrator Dates of creation of material: 1687 - 2007 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 27 boxes Biographical history: John Penrose Barron (JPB) was born in Morley, west Yorkshire, on 27 April 1934. Educated at Clifton College, Bristol, he went up to Oxford in 1953 as an exhibitioner at Balliol College, where he read Classics. He graduated in 1957 with first-class honours, going on to complete his doctorate in 1961 on the history of Samos to 439 BC. Barron’s academic career began when he joined Bedford College, London, as an Assistant Lecturer in Latin.

  • Conflict and Complexity: Army and Gentry in Interregnum Herefordshire
    Conflict and Complexity: Army and Gentry in Interregnum Herefordshire By PAUL J. PINCKNEY he major problems of historical understanding of the 1650s in England revolve around the new power of the army and its relationship to the traditional power of the gentry. Detailed county studies can shed light on the complexities of this relationship and help T 1 answer related questions of national importance. The main arguments of this article are interrelated. Herefordshire does not exhibit a strong military presence in the 1650s, and an emphasis should instead be on a gentry resurgence by the mid 1650s. Moreover, we should be aware of the profound fluidity of the 1650s, when army officers and local gentlemen were all involved in taking advantage of the many opportunities for buying land presented by the nationalization of crown, royalist, and church holdings—both groups working to advance themselves while in ignorance of the fate that would befall the republic in 1660. The re- creation of a durable equilibrium between old and new county elites was not achieved by unitary design, driven by a single leader or cabal, nor was it an intentional settlement. Instead, this process amounted to a medley of mixing, melting, and melding family, religious, and political motives and enterprises emerging from many Herefordshire actors' responses to each other's moves. That unique story is what we explore here. 1. An army leader joins the gentry The lovely border county of Herefordshire, overwhelmingly royalist in sentiment in the first civil war, was subdued permanently by parliamentarian forces only in 1645-6, and a garrison remained at Hereford until the Restoration.2 No county could boast of two more outstanding leaders for its tragic divisions.
