Up to Wednesday of last week he was able to be about and do his ordinary work.

  • Parish of Skipton*
    294 HISTORY OF CRAVEN. PARISH OF SKIPTON* HAVE reserved for this parish, the most interesting part of my subject, a place in Wharfdale, in order to deduce the honour and fee of Skipton from Bolton, to which it originally belonged. In the later Saxon times Bodeltone, or Botltunef (the town of the principal mansion), was the property of Earl Edwin, whose large possessions in the North were among the last estates in the kingdom which, after the Conquest, were permitted to remain in the hands of their former owners. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leofric, Earls of Mercia.J It is somewhat remarkable that after the forfeiture the posterity of this family, in the second generation, became possessed of these estates again by the marriage of William de Meschines with Cecilia de Romille. This will be proved by the following table:— •——————————;——————————iLeofwine Earl of Mercia§=j=......... Leofric §=Godiva Norman. Edwin, the Edwinus Comes of Ermenilda=Ricardus de Abrineis cognom. Domesday. Goz. I———— Matilda=.. —————— I Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester, William de Meschines=Cecilia, daughter and heir of Robert Romille, ob. 1129. Lord of Skipton. But it was before the Domesday Survey that this nobleman had incurred the forfeiture; and his lands in Craven are accordingly surveyed under the head of TERRA REGIS. All these, consisting of LXXVII carucates, lay waste, having never recovered from the Danish ravages. Of these-— [* The parish is situated partly in the wapontake of Staincliffe and partly in Claro, and comprises the townships of Skipton, Barden, Beamsley, Bolton Abbey, Draughton, Embsay-with-Eastby, Haltoneast-with-Bolton, and Hazlewood- with-Storithes ; and contains an area of 24,7893.

  • For Those Royalists Disappointed by Charles II's Failure to Reward Them
    1 The earls of Derby and the opposition to their estate bills in parliament, 1660-92: some new manuscript sources By Charles Littleton, History of Parliament Trust Abstract: The bills introduced in 1660-62 by Charles Stanley, 8th earl of Derby, to reclaim his property conveyed by legal procedures to other proprietors during the Interregnum are well-known to students of the Restoration, as their ultimate defeat is seen as evidence of the royal government's wish to enforce 'indemnity and oblivion' after the civil war. The leading members of the House of Lords opposed to the bill of 1661-2 can be gauged by the protest against its passage on 6 February 1662, which has been readily available to students to consult since the 18th-century publication of the Lords Journals. A number of manuscript lists of the protesters against the bill's passage reveal that the opposition to the bill was even more extensive and politically varied than the protest in the Journal suggests, which raises questions of why the printed protest is so incomplete. A voting forecast drawn up by William Stanley, 9th earl of Derby, in 1691 further reminds us of the often neglected point that the Stanleys continued to submit bills for the resumption of their hereditary lands well after the disappointment of 1662. Derby's manuscript calculations, though ultimately highly inaccurate, reveal much about how this particular peer envisaged the forces ranged for and against the claims of an old civil war royalist family, a good forty years after the loss of their land.

  • A Biography of Edward De Vere, 17Th Earl of Oxford, from Documentary Evidence
    OXFORD’S BIOGRAPHY 1 ________________________________________________________________________ IDENTIFYING EDWARD DE VERE: A BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD DE VERE, 17TH EARL OF OXFORD, FROM DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE INTRODUCTION Portrayals of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, in print, on film, and on the internet in the last century contain inaccuracies of both fact and interpretation. This biography attempts to separate fact from fiction, and is based, insofar as possible, on primary sources. Transcriptions of many of these primary source documents can be found on the Documents page of this website: http://www.oxford-shakespeare.com/documents.html The biography contains numerous page references to B.M. Ward’s The Seventeenth Earl of Oxford 1550-1604 From Contemporary Documents, and to Alan Nelson’s Monstrous Adversary. Nelson closely followed Ward, and these page references will permit readers to see where the two accounts diverge and interpretations differ. Both are accessible online. Throughout the biography, references to entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography identify persons with whom the Earls of Oxford interacted. In the absence of references to these ODNB entries, many of these individuals would otherwise be unknown to most modern readers who are not historians of the period, and their connections to the Earls of Oxford would be obscured. The ODNB is available online by subscription. Some of the material on the 17th Earl of Oxford in this biography can also be found in the Wikipedia entry for him, as that Wikipedia entry is largely the result of an extensive edit in November and December 2010 by the author of this biography.

  • The Third Generation of a Great Arriviste Family; William Cecil, Second Earl Of
    1 THE THIRD GENERATION OF AN ARRIVISTE FAMILY: WILLIAM CECIL, SECOND EARL OF SALISBURY, AND THE CONSOLIDATION OF NOBLE STATUS IN UNPROPITIOUS AND TUMULTUOUS TIMES. I, William Peter Bird, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. A Thesis submitted in the Faculty of History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Royal Holloway College, University of London. 2 The Third Generation of an arriviste family: William Cecil, Second Earl of Salisbury, and the consolidation of noble status in unpropitious and tumultuous times. W. P. Bird This PhD dissertation is a biographical study of the life and political career of the second earl of Salisbury (1591-1668). It examines his early life and the preparation for the aristocratic role he would be expected to play. It looks at the early influences he experienced in his highly politicised home and also from Pembroke, Raleigh, Harrington, Buckingham, as well as in the courts of King James and Prince Henry. The second and third chapters discuss how he dealt with the deaths of his father and Prince Henry, which came at a crucial point in his life. He had to finish the first earl’s building programme and settle the debts that had been incurred by him. These chapters also look at the care he gave his family and staff; the rationalisation of his inheritance; and his success in passing on a large patrimony to his family. The final four chapters deal with his long political career. They look at the difficulties he faced to get a Court appointment, the problems he experienced with Buckingham and the troubles he met later with King Charles’s personal rule and his anti-Calvinist policies.

  • Introduction: the Succession in History and Theory Pp. (1-12)
    Notes Introduction: The Succession in History and Theory pp. (1-12) 1. Cooke, History of the Successions, p. 27. The story also figures in Shake­ speare's history plays, having been taken by him from Holinshed's Chronicles and used in Henry W, Part 2. In Shakespeare's account of the deathbed scene between Henry and his heir apparent Hal, Henry says 'God knows, my son, By what bypaths and indirect crooked ways I met this crown' (IV, v, 183-5). For Shakespeare, however, Henry IV was not so much uncertain of his right as he was burdened by his gUilt. The king agonises over his claim to the throne and asks God's forgiveness for having taken it from Richard IT: 'How I came by the crown, 0 God forgive, .. .' (IV, v, 18). Hal, on the other hand, is free of his father's misgivings. 'My gracious liege,' he says, 'You won it, wore it, kept it; gave it me. Then plain and right must my possession be, .. .' (IV, v, 220-2). 2. Twysden, Certaine Considerations, p. 62. 3. In the eleventh century William I, a bastard, claimed as a conqueror and by right of nomination, the promise of the throne having been made to him by Edward the Confessor; William Rufus and Henry I succeeded in tum to their father's throne despite the better hereditary claim of their elder brother, Robert; the Empress Matilda was forced to yield her right to her cousin, Stephen, who seized the throne and enforced his claim by citing his election by the barons; and Matilda's son, Henry IT, took the crown at Stephen's death in 1154, pursuant to a treaty concluded the year before.

  • Philip, Lord Wharton
    Philip, Lord Wharton - Revolutionary Aristocrat? Being the 1990 Annual Lecture of the United Reformed Church History Society subsequently published in the Journal - Volume 4 No 8 May 1991 and made available here with permission from the Society. Several branches of the Wharton family settled in North Lancashire and Westmorland some time before the Norman Conquest. About the middle of the eleventh century a Sueni de Querton is mentioned.1 One hundred and fifty years later Gilbert de Querton acquired the manor of Wharton by inheritance from a relative and also the family arms of “a maunch argent on a field sable” (a long silver sleeve on a black ground)2 He probably built the first Wharton Hall, much altered and added to in later generations. His descendant Sir Thomas Wharton became the first Baron Wharton. He was raised to the peerage for services to the crown, particularly at the battle of Solway Moss in November 1542 when the Scots were roundly defeated - though perhaps more by weather than and the terrain than by the force or skill of English arms. Wharton was one of the new men chosen by Henry VIII to replace troublesome northern barons who had grown too great and powerful. He served as Warden of the Marches and as Captain of both Carlisle and Berwick Castles and was frequently engaged in forays over the border, sometimes of a rather personal nature. His appointment as Visitor of Monasteries in the northern counties and as Commissioner for the Discontinuance of Chantries and Mass Chapels probably facilitated his purchase of considerable monastic lands at the Dissolution, including property in Westmorland and much of Yorkshire.

  • Elizabeth I and James Vi/I, 1558–1625
    ROYAL OPPORTUNITY: NOBLE MARRIAGES IN THE REIGNS OF ELIZABETH I AND JAMES VI/I, 1558–1625 BY CHRISTIANNA FLOYD KAY A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2020 Front matter Abstract This thesis explores Queen Elizabeth I’s and King James VI/I’s management of and involvement in noble marriages from 1558 to 1625 by merging two methodologies: an analysis of an extensive, custom-made database of 380 noble marriages with an examination of primary sources like state papers, personal correspondence, diaries, and ambassadorial reports. This study demonstrates that “noble-marriage management” was a single but efficient method for the implementation of many facets of early modern rule—this made it an important apparatus of the monarchical office and a significant conduit of power. Illuminated within this thesis are Queen Elizabeth’s and King James’s tactics for handling noble marital alliances which included participation and support, avoidance and opposition. They applied their exclusive crown privileges like plural prerogatives of wards’ and widows’ marriages and in loco parentis rights in attempts to control marital unions and they inaugurated new monarch-noble bonds through their patronage of weddings. They communicated religious, succession, and Anglo- Scottish union policies, brought peace, and cultivated a crown-supportive aristocracy by means of their noble marriage involvement. Both monarchs employed multiple aspects of the royal prerogative to manage marriages which, at times, involved manipulating courts, bypassing Parliament, and prolonging punishments. Elizabeth and James also used the royal prerogative to forge their respective legacies of a Protestant kingdom and a unified England and Scotland.
