“Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil”
“Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student. -
Representations of Jews in Irish Literature
REPRESENTATIONS OF JEWS IN IRISH LITERATURE A Bibliographic Database School of English and History, Ulster University 1 2 Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………...................…. 5 Years 1590 – 1800 ………………………………………...............................…… 7 Years: 1801 – 1900 ……………………………………...................................…… 9 Years: 1901 – 2000 …………………………………..................................…….. 29 Years: 2001 – Present ………………………........................................………..47 3 4 Introduction who is invisible enough to see you ― Paul Celan This bibliographic database archives all texts and writers relevant to the representations of Jews in Ireland (subject to copyright) from the earliest times to the present. The database illustrates how the representation of Jews intersects with all the main genres of Irish literature, telling us much about the notion of identity – both Irish and Jewish – and how in fact, a complete psychohistory of Irishness and Jewishness is hidden in these neglected representations. Divided into four distinct sections, this database has been archived in chronological order ranging from the earliest texts documented between 1590- 1800, the dynamic societal and literary advances made between 1801-1900, texts written in the twentieth century from 1901-2000 and finishing with literature produced in and about Ireland between 2001 to the present day. This mapping of literature was culled from the bibliographies of articles generated by electronic journals and hand searches. This review process yielded 603 publications. This document is available for download from the Ulster University website at: http://www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/jewishrepresentations/ This database has been created in association with Ulster University, the Arts & Humanities Research Council, the Irish-Jewish Museum, NUI Galway, Armagh Public Library, PRONI and the Royal Irish Academy. 5 6 Years: 1590 – 1800 Spenser, Edmund.

II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters. -

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them. -

JRMMRA 9 (1988) The Elizabethan Diplomatic Service by F. Jeffrey Platt Northern Arizona University The critical early years of Elizabeth's reign witnessed a watershed in European history. The 1559 Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis, which ended the long Hapsburg-Valois conflict, resulted in a sudden shift in the focus of international politics from Italy to the uncomfortable proximity of the Low Countries. The arrival there, 30 miles from England's coast, in 1567, of thousands of seasoned Spanish troops presented a military and commer cial threat the English queen could not ignore. Moreover, French control of Calais and their growing interest in supplanting the Spanish presence in the Netherlands represented an even greater menace to England's security. Combined with these ominous developments, the Queen's excommunica tion in May 1570 further strengthened the growing anti-English and anti Protestant sentiment of Counter-Reformation Europe. These circumstances, plus the significantly greater resources of France and Spain, defined England, at best, as a middleweight in a world dominated by two heavyweights. -

Lists of Appointments CHAMBER Administration Lord Chamberlain 1660-1837
Lists of Appointments CHAMBER Administration Lord Chamberlain 1660-1837 According to The Present State of the British Court, The Lord Chamberlain has the Principal Command of all the Kings (or Queens) Servants above Stairs (except in the Bedchamber, which is wholly under the Grooms [sic] of the Stole) who are all Sworn by him, or by his Warrant to the Gentlemen Ushers. He has likewise the Inspection of all the Officers of the Wardrobe of the King=s Houses, and of the removing Wardrobes, Beds, Tents, Revels, Musick, Comedians, Hunting, Messengers, Trumpeters, Drummers, Handicrafts, Artizans, retain=d in the King=s or Queen=s Service; as well as of the Sergeants at Arms, Physicians, Apothecaries, Surgeons, &c. and finally of His Majesty=s Chaplains.1 The lord chamberlain was appointed by the Crown. Until 1783 his entry into office was marked by the reception of a staff; thereafter more usually of a key.2 He was sworn by the vice chamberlain in pursuance of a royal warrant issued for that purpose.3 Wherever possible appointments have been dated by reference to the former event; in other cases by reference to the warrant or certificate of swearing. The remuneration attached to the office consisted of an ancient fee of ,100 and board wages of ,1,100 making a total of ,1,200 a year. The lord chamberlain also received plate worth ,400, livery worth ,66 annually and fees of honour averaging between ,24 and ,48 a year early in the eighteenth century.

The Heraldry of the De Bohun Earls
The Antiquaries Journal, , ,pp– © The Society of Antiquaries of London, doi:./S. First published online June THE HERALDRY OF THE DE BOHUN EARLS Lucia Diaz Pascual Lucia Diaz Pascual, Baronsmead Road, London SW13 9RR, UK. Email: [email protected] This paper analyses the evidence relating to the heraldry used by the patriarchs of the de Bohun family (1066–1373) as preserved in seal impressions, rolls of arms, manuscripts, wills, inventories and personal objects held in private collections. It traces the development of the family’scoatofarms, as well as the adoption and use by the de Bohun earls of various heraldic symbols (such as the swan, the trefoil, the leopard and the wyvern) to serve as a reminder of the family’s glorious ancestry and its many royal and noble marital alliances. By analysing the unique heraldry adopted by each de Bohun earl, this paper concludes that the family’s noble identity evolved over several generations and that the choice of heraldic symbols by each earl was highly individual, providing a unique insight into their sense of identity and personal values, as well as their desire to ensure family memory. Keywords: Medieval history; sigillography; heraldry; lineage and identity; nobility INTRODUCTION Heraldry, defined by Anthony Wagner as ‘the systematic use of hereditary devices centred upon the shield’, developed in England during the twelfth century. The earliest extant example of a coat of arms, the decorated shield given by Henry I to his son-in-law, Geoffrey of Anjou, when he was knighted, dates from . Originally used to identify the heavily armed knight, by the second quarter of the twelfth century shield designs had become hereditary, being used consistently to associate their owners with certain lands, titles and offices. -
