  • Our Dearest Brother

    Our Dearest Brother

    OUR DEAREST BROTHER -3- OUR DEAREST BROTHER: STUDIES IN CHANGING EXPRESSIONS OF KINSHIP IN THE RECORDS OF MEDIEVAL ROYALTY by Michael Andrews-Reading 1 Abstract Surviving royal documents from the medieval period not infrequently include statements of relationship. A detailed examination of representative collections of these documents demonstrates a gradual move away from purely factual statements of close relationships in some cases. By the time of the late Middle Ages, the use of formal and stylised kinship terms had come to reflect political and pragmatic relationships instead of strict blood ties. This article asks when such statements can be relied on as fact and seeks to chart potential changes in royal attitudes towards expressing relationship as a function of diplomatic and administrative language. Foundations (2009) 3 (1): 3-35 © Copyright FMG and the author Being related to royalty has long been considered a desirable thing. Shakespeare2 writes with a gently mocking tone of “those that are akin to the king, for they never prick their finger but they say, ‘There is some of the king’s blood spilt’”, in the hope that this may elicit a question about the relationship from among their hearers. This interest remains a feature of modern genealogical research. A wide range of royal letters and related documents addressed from or to the medieval kings of England has survived in the National Archives. Several collections of these, normally arranged by monarch, have been published, notably in the great Victorian run of publications effected under the aegis of the Master of the Rolls as keeper of the public records, called the Rolls Series (Knowles, 1963).

  • Descendants of William

    Descendants of William

    Descendants of William Generation 1 1. WILLIAM (Robert, Richard, Richard) was born in 1027 in Falaise, France. He died on 09 Sep 1087 in Rouen, England. He married Matilda between 1051-1053 in France. She was born in 1032. She died on 03 Nov 1083. Notes for William: William the Conqueror is my seventh cousin, 26 times removed. The ancestor in common with William and me is the ninth century Norwegian Viking, Eystein Glumra Ivarsson. Glumra Ivarsson is William's sixth great grandfather and Glumra Ivarsson is my 32nd great grandfather on my Mother's Abney side of the family. William is the 17th great grandfather of affluent Englishman Edward Southworth, first husband of Alice Carpenter, on my Father's side of the family. Alice, through her second marriage, is my seventh great grandmother. William is the 31st great grandfather to my Westmoreland grandchildren: Katie, Jack, Lily, Sarah and Sam. Early in his adult life, he was known as William II, Duke of Normandy. It was later that he became better known as William I, or William the Conqueror, King of England. He subdued rebellious vassals, defeated King Henry I of France at Val des Dunes (Henry is William's first cousin, twice removed). William defeated Harold, Saxon King of England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He was crowned King of England on December 22, 1066, according to some reports. Others place the coronation on Christmas day. The coronation was in Westminster Abbey. So, it can be said that this part of our family did not immigrate to England.

Sarpy December, 2016 KEEPING RAPUNZEL: THE MYSTERIOUS GUARDIANSHIP OF JOAN OF FLANDERS THE CASE FOR FEUDAL CONSTRAINT _______________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _______________ By Julie M. Sarpy December, 2016 ABSTRACT This argues that England King Edward III’s imprisonment of Joan of Flanders, Duchess of Brittany and Countess de Montfort during the Hundred Years War was not for her so-called madness, but was political. Joan of Flanders, who had led a defense of the castellany of Hennebont that routed the French and saved Montfortist Brittany, abruptly vanished from public life in the Fall of 1343. While it has been presumed that she succumbed to mental illness, the nature of confinement, its secrecy, and its political implications indicate forcible confinement. Conflict broke out in Brittany after a succession crisis that pitted the pro- English Montfortist faction against the Blois-French forces. Joan of Flanders, wife of John de Montfort, came into prominence following her husband’s imprisonment. After departing for England with her children, she disappeared from society being sequestered in the Tickhill Castle in Yorkshire, England. Control of the Honour of Richmond and the Duchy of Brittany are overlooked elements in the captivity of Joan of Flanders.
