Anointed Queen of England. but Alas! on Second Thoughts These Words Must Mean St Thomas Becket.102 Immediately After the Battle of Bosworth, Aug FROM GRAY 3 MARCH 1754 79 anointed Queen of England. But alas! on second thoughts these words must mean St Thomas Becket.102 Immediately after the battle of Bosworth, Aug. 22, 1485, the King sent Sir Robert Willoughby103 to the Castle of Sheriff Hutton in York­ shire with orders to conduct the Princess Elizabeth to her mother104 at London. He himself entered the city five days after;105 was crowned Oct. 30 by Cardinal Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury,106 and married Jan. 18, i486, at Westminster, being then in his 31st year, and Elizabeth turned of 20.107 He (you see) is in his kingly ornaments; but he would not suffer her to be crowned108 till almost two years after, when she had brought him a son.10' If you are sure the person who ac­ companies the King is a cardinal, it must be Bourchier, who died very soon after this marriage, for the writ, de custodia commissa to Jo[hn] Morton, Bishop of Ely,110 who succeeded him, is dated July 13, i486.1" Bourchier was not Legate de latere, but perhaps may bear the Legatine double cross, as Archbishop of Canterbury, for both our archbishops were styled Apostolicce Sedis Legati (see Rymer, vol. xii, pp. 208 and 245); but I take the person there represented to be James, Bishop of Imola,112 who granted the dispensation for this marriage (they being in the fourth degree of consanguinity"3 to one another), and was then orator et commissarius cum potestate Legati de latere in regnis Anglice 102.

  • Saint Thomas More
    THOMAS MORE 1475-1535 Thomas More is one of the most universally admired personages of the English Renaissance. He is probably best known as the author of Utopia (1516) a witty description of a land where contemporary material values are reversed. More was a legal scholar, diplomat, government official and humanist author. In the circle of saints depicted in the chapel, he is the rare image of the Christian parent. More's rise to fame and wealth was steady. His father was a member of the legal profession, and he arranged for Thomas to be appointed page in the household of Cardinal John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury. Morton had been instrumental in the deposition of Richard III and the elevation of Henry VII, who subsequently rewarded him by appointing him Chancellor. Thus Thomas was early initiated into royal politics as well as exposed to some of the finest legal minds of his day. He began his formal education at Canterbury College, Oxford, but soon moved to legal studies in London. At this time he demonstrated what would be characteristic of his career and his life: a deep spirituality that led him to reside for four years with the Carthusian monks in London's Charterhouse. Monastic life would not be his life's role, however, and in 1504 he married Jane Colt, who bore him four children before her death seven years later. His marriage shortly afterward to the widow Alice Middleton provided his children with a much-needed step•mother. During these early years, More emerged as the leader of a group of humanists who would leave a profound mark on the world of letters and educational reform.

  • The Priory and Parish of Folkestone in the Fifteenth Century
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE PRIORY AND PARISH OF FOLKESTONE IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY C. HARPER-BILL The Canterbury registers of the fifteenth century provide few details of the state of the religious houses of the diocese. There are no comprehensive visitation documents as there are for Lincoln, or later in the century, for Norwich. For the Benedictine priory of Folkestone, however, the survival of a variety of documents allows some amplification of the history of the monastery as recorded in the Victoria County History,1 and casts some light on the problems of a small and impoverished house at the close of the Middle Ages. The ancient community at Folkestone had been refounded in 1095 by Nigel de Munevilla and his wife as a priory cell of Lonlay. It was one of the few alien houses, which had aquired denizen status before 1399, It was always a small community, whose income at the Dissolution was only £41; a substantial proportion of this was derived from the parish church of St. Mary and St. Eanswith, which had been granted to Lonlay by the founder.2 There is evidence for tension between the monks and the townspeople at least from the time of Archbishop Chichele. At some time between March 1432 and October 1433 the prior complained to the Chancellor of England that the dissension between them came to a head when on New Year's Day he was seized from the altar while celebrating Mass and dragged through the streets from the church to the cliffs, from which his assailants threatened to hurl him into the sea.

  • The Will of John Morton
    Running headARTICLES RIGHT The Will of John Morton – an introduction In the late spring of 2016, Dr Betty Knott, a retired Latinist from Glasgow University, graciously agreed to participate in The Missing Princes Project and offer her expertise. As the information gathering for the modern investigation into the disappearance of the sons of King Edward IV continued apace, it was becoming increasingly clear that the enquiry had to consider all potential sources of information. With John Morton’s role in the key period of investigation (1483–6), coupled with Dr Knott’s academic neutrality, revealing Morton’s will in full in English for the first time would not only be consistent with the aims and ambition of the project, but might offer new connections and insight into this important figure. Previously, only an epitome of Morton’s will was available in English translation.* With thanks to Marie Barnfield whose meticulous and informed transcript and decipherment of the very difficult hand of the original manuscript considerably expedited Dr Knott’s own reading of the original text, and author Isolde Martyn, whose investigations into John Morton instigated this complete English translation of his will. Philippa Langley MBE * C. Everleigh Woodruff, Kent Archaeological Society, 1914, vol 3, Sede Vacante Wills: Canterbury, pp 91–3. Complete Latin text pp 95–91. THE WILL OF JOHN MORTON, archbishop of Canterbury, c. 1420–1500 BETTY I. KNOTT This article, on behalf of The Missing Princes Project, is based on the original Latin text of the will of John Morton (c. 1420–1500), archbishop of Canterbury 1486–1500, and cardinal (1496).

  • Burial-Places of the Archbishops of Canterbury
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 20 1893 ( 276 ) BURIAL-PLACES OE THE ARCHBISHOPS OE CANTERBURY. BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. ARCHBISHOP BENSON is the 93rd actual occupant o£ the Primatial See of Canterbury, but Eoger Walden, who was intruded into Archbishop Arundel's throne, for a few years, is not usually counted as one of the Primates ; so that we reckon only 91 predecessors of the present Primate as legitimate Archbishops. Another prelate (Reginald Fitzjoceline, Bishop of Bath) was elected to the Primacy, but he died before he could be enthroned. John de TJfford (Lord Chancellor) died before he could be consecrated. Of the 91 pre- decessors of Archbishop Benson, the ashes of 58 lie in Canterbury; but all of these lived and died before the accession of Queen Elizabeth. 7 were buried at Lambeth, in or beside the parish church there (viz., PARKER, BANCROFT, TENISON, HUTTON, SECKER, CORN- w AM/IS, and MOORE). 6 were interred at Croydon (viz., GKINDAL, WHITGIFT, SHELDON, WAKE, POTTER, and HERRING). 5 are buried at Addington (viz., MANNERS-SUTTOH, *Howi/EY, *SUMNER, LONCKDEY, and *TAIT). 3 mingled with the dust at Oxford. (1) CRANMER was burned there in 155f. (2) LATTD, after his execution in 164f, was buried at Barking All Hallows, but in 1663 his remains were carried to tbe Chapel of St. John's College, Oxford. (3) JUXON (who, when Bishop of London, attended Charles I. upon the scaffold) was also interred at Oxford, in the Chapel of St. John's College, in 1663. 1 lies in London at the Church of St. Lawrence, Jewry.
