  • SCOTTISH BLACK MONEY in the LOW COUNTRIES C.1484–1506
    SCOTTISH BLACK MONEY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES c.1484–1506 PETER SPUFFORD THERE seem to me to be two main problems arising from the previous article by Nicholas Holmes and Hendrik van Caelenberghe.1 How far did the areas to which Scots black money penetrate relate to Scots trade with the Low Countries? Why were the Crux Pellit pieces used so widely that it was worth imitating them? I would therefore like to expand this marvellous set of new findings by looking at the context, both geographically and in terms of what denominations the Scottish 3d. and ½d. pieces might have been used for in the Low Countries. I am controversially following up the text cited by Joan Murray by not calling these pieces pennies and farthings, but instead calling the Crux Pellit coins ‘3d. pieces’, and the smaller pieces ‘halfpennies’: ‘for thir was blak cunyhe in the realme strikkin and ordinyt be king James the thred, half pennys and three penny pennys innumerabill of coppir’ in a short anonymous chronicle ending in autumn 1482, and therefore contemporary.2 Some of the smaller pieces were probably ‘farthings’ and ‘halfpennies’ at different times. The latest ones seem to have been regarded as ‘halfpennies’ in 1482. As will be apparent from the second section of this paper, it helps to think of these pieces in Joan Murray’s terms. How far did the circulation of Scottish Black Money correlate with Scottish trade? I would like to present the work of Nicholas Holmes and Hendrik van Caelenberghe geo- graphically in the context of a map of the principalities of the Netherlands in the late fifteenth century.

  • Cologne, Germany) Book of Hours
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Gertrud (Cologne, Germany) Book of Hours 1481-1488 1 vol (0.2 linear foot) Call no.: MS 1057 Collection overview The Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Gertud (Dominican Convent of Saint Gertrude) operated in Cologne, Germany, for nearly five and half centuries. An important center in connection with German mysticism in the 13th and 14th centuries, the Kloster survived the Reformation, however persistently poor finances led to its decline in the 18th century. After it was abolished during a wave of secularization on October 14, 1802. This diminutive book of hours was prepared by Dominican nuns at the Kloster St. Gertrud during the 1480s. Like some other German books of hours it lacks the calendar, Gospel lessons, and the two prayers to the Virgin, Obsecro te and O intemerata, however it includes additional liturgical texts, such as Offices for major feasts, as well as music for the funeral service. This copy may have been made for or by the prioress Magdalena Frankengruenerin (1481-1488), and remained in the convent until the eighteenth century. See similar SCUA collections: Books and book history Germany Religion Background on Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Gertrud The Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Gertud (Dominican Convent of Saint Gertrude) and its associated church operated for nearly five and half centuries in the Neumarkt in Cologne, Germany. Led by the recluse Helwigis, the community was founded in 1257 and was affiliated with the Dominican order beginning in 1286/1287, becoming known for housing relics of the 7th century Gertud of Nivelles, a saint who was associated with the Benedictine Abbeys of Nivelles and Karlburg.

  • 8Was Richard III Defeated
    Take a look at this sample chapter from The Wars of the Roses England 1450‐1485… Was Richard III defeated because of the disappearance 8 of the Princes? It was the fate of the Princes in the Tower that first got me interested in the Wars of the Roses. Many years ago my eye was caught by a book cover showing a face that turned out to be Richard III. The book was Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time, a ‘whodunit’ exploring whether the Princes were really murdered by Richard III. The sense of mystery is created because there are no trustworthy sources telling us directly what happened to the Princes. At best, writers imply what happened. Take Dominic Mancini, an Italian in London in 1483, who seems to have information from Edward V’s doctor: Edward V and his … all the King’s servants were barred from access to him. He and his brother, Richard of brother were withdrawn into the inner rooms of the Tower and day by York, were aged 12 and day began to be seen more rarely behind the windows and bars, until 9 in June 1483 they ceased to be seen altogether. The physician, Argentine, the last of his attendants, reported that the young king, like a victim prepared for sacrifice, made daily confession and penance because he believed that death was facing him. The inference is that the boys died in summer 1483 but there’s no detail of how they died. In addition, Mancini spoke no English, so was dependent on what others told him, and he wrote several months later, when it was widely believed the boys were dead.

Despite this, no consensus has been reached among historians as to the reason for their continued use, with the notable exception of ensuring the production of a legitimate heir. This thesis will argue that the creation and maintenance of alliances was the most important motivating factor for English, Castilian and Aragonese monarchs. Territorial concerns, such as the protection and acquisition of lands, as well as attempts to secure peace between warring kingdoms, were also influential elements considered when arranging dynastic marriages. Other less common motives which were specific to individual marriages depended upon the political, economic, social and dynastic priorities of the time in which they were contracted.

Used by permission. © 2016 The Institute for Faith and Learning at Baylor University 69 Love in Control BY HEIDI J. HORNIK y the 1480s, Sandro Botticelli was one of the leading painters of the Renaissance and was working for the Medici family. Many works of Bthis period, often considered his masterpieces, use mythological sub- jects to blend contemporary historical references and moral instruction. Pallas and the Centaur, which is recorded in the 1498-1499 inventory as “Camilla and a Satyr,” originally was hung in the “old house” of the Medici family in a ground floor room alongside the chamber of Lorenzo, together with the Primavera.1 The old palace on Via Larga was owned by Lorenzo and Pierfrancesco de’ Medici, cousins of Lorenzo the Magnificent. The female figure with long blonde hair wears a wreath of olive branches with a diamond at the top. Her white, transparent gown is decorated with linked balls or circles, perhaps a symbol of the Medici family crest. She wears leather boots and bears defensive weapons—a diamond-crusted halberd (combined spear and battle axe) and a shield on her back.2 The centaur submits to her, despite his having a bow and quiver of arrows.

I argue that colonization was inherently destructive because the English colonists envisioned a comprehensive transformation ofthe American landscape that required the elimination ofNative American societies. Two case studies demonstrate the dynamics ofthis process.
