Marie Barn- field’s excellent review of the conference provides further details of these documents and of course all the lectures. Sufficient to say here that the weekend was a great success with all lec- tures proving entertaining and thought-provoking. It is hoped that they will eventually be incor- porated into a book based on the theme of the conference. My thanks go to everyone who played a part in making the weekend such a success. In this issue, we have another range of interesting and challenging articles. Perkin Warbeck is revisited, and very topical this is too, with a Channel 4 programme due to have been aired by the time you read this. Ann Wroe and James McDougall are elegant and authoritive combatants and I am sure their debate will encourage a lot of responses. Our series of articles commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Paul Murray Kendall’s Richard III continues with a historian’s view of the book’s impact from Keith Dockray. We also have a continuation of Lesley Wynne-Davies’ series on notes and queries from the Logge Wills, tasters for next year’s publication of the wills. The news of Bill Hampton’s passing will make sad hearing for many. Bill will long be remem- bered for his important work Memorials of the Wars of the Roses, an invaluable and oft-quoted book for anyone studying our period. In the last Bulletin, we started a series of extracts from the book, bringing the information to a new audience and Bill was very happy for this to happen. A full obituary will appear in autumn’s Bulletin. It is time for a recruitment campaign and I urge you to take up the challenge offered in the insert in this Bulletin. Membership numbers have been steady for a number of years but it is time we grew again. Membership increased significantly in 1973 as a result of the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibition on Richard III and again during the Quincentenary years of 1983-85. So, it would seem that another period of growth is well overdue. Our fiftieth anniversary next year is an appropriate focus. I have written before about our impending anniversary and we are now in a position to pro- vide details of our initial plans to celebrate the event. (see page 3). The emphasis is to be on cele- bration. We have much to be proud of over the past fifty years, especially the contributions that individual members have made over the five decades, and we hope to recall and acknowledge many of these throughout the anniversary year. It would be great to see next year’s events in- volve as many of today’s members as possible, so I would especially encourage branches and groups to hold their own events. More details of all events will appear in the autumn and winter issues of the Bulletin. ‘Summer is a-comin’ in,’ and whilst we may not all ‘loudly sing cuckoo,’ I hope that we will all enjoy the various Ricardian events on offer. Amongst the many things, I look forward to join- ing the Croydon Group’s twenty-fifth anniversary celebrations in June, which will coincide with their tenth anniversary commemoration of the death of the much-missed Joyce Melhuish. Phil Stone 2 Society News and Notices The Richard III Society Celebrating 50 Years 1956 – 2006 2006 and all that ‘The inaugural meeting of the reconstituted fellowship took place at 7.30 pm on Thursday 26 January 1956 in room 17 of Caxton Hall. 33 members and intending members were present’. So recorded the minutes of this historic occasion. The Fellowship of the White Boar was founded in 1924 by Saxon Barton and had been revived during the 1950s, thanks mainly to the tireless ef- forts of our senior Vice-President Isolde Wigram. In 2006 we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the re-founding and we will do so with events and publications that will provide something for all our world-wide membership. Key events being planned are: A commemorative event in London Two research day seminars, including one on the battles of the Wars of the Roses. A weekend of celebrations in York around the 2006 AGM on the 30 September. This will include an anniversary dinner at the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall in the evening of the 30th and a day of events at Barley Hall on the Sunday. The anniversary will also be celebrated through; Expanded editions of the four Bulletins for 2006 The launch of a number of important publications including the Logge Wills and the His- tory of the Society. A national school essay and art competition We shall be providing further and fuller details in the autumn and winter editions of the Bulletin. Members’ ideas for celebrating the anniversary will be welcome and should be sent to the chair- man in the first instance. We hope that branches and groups will initiate their own celebrations and we will include details of these in the Bulletin’s fiftieth-anniversary calendar. So let’s all make 2006 a Ricardian year to remember. Executive Committee Continued on page 14. 3 Be Prepared he Scouting movement, once derided as an inappropriate vestige of British Imperialism, T sexist and a danger to youth, is enjoying a renaissance in the 21st century with many troops burdened with a waiting list of those wishing to join. So there seems no harm in using what is a wise and practical Scout motto in a good cause. In plenty of time for a certain well known birthday (2nd October) you should have given a small ‘gift’ to the Society by making sure your subscription is paid at the correct new rate, which has already been well publicised. If you pay by cheque or one-off credit/debit card payment make sure you use the right amount. If you use a recurring credit/debit card authority then please tell the Provider in plenty of time about the change needed. Many members pay by Bank Standing Order authority and if you have paid by cheque in the past you may wish to use the form in this Bulletin to change to Standing Order but do, please, make sure you fill it out correctly and return it to the Membership Department not direct to your bank. For the many 100s of you that pay by standing order already please use the form to amend the amount you pay. This will be greatly appreciated and make life much simpler for the Member- ship Department and the Treasurer. Their joy will be complete if you follow these simple rules:- Do not send the completed form to your bank – send it to the Membership Department, whose address is on the form, so they can make sure the details are correct, Fill it out with the correct NEW subscription rate for your membership category, don’t forget to sign it either, Send it off in plenty of time – we ideally need to lodge amendments before the 1st Sep- tember - so don’t leave it to the last minute, DO IT NOW, Don’t confuse anybody by referring to the fact that you have a Direct Debit in favour of the Richard III Society – YOU DO NOT – the Society would love to collect subscrip- tion by Direct Debit but its legal status as an unincorporated association makes this al- most impossible. Standing Orders, which is how you pay, are a totally different form of payment, and Do check your bank statement to make sure that your instructions have been carried out – if there are two debits, or your account is now being debited weekly or monthly tell your bank and the Membership Department straight away.

  • Perkin Warbeck (NZ Version)
    Whether my hero was or was not an impostor, he was 1 believed to be the true man by his contemporaries . Perkin Warbeck Talk to the Australasian Convention of the Richard III Society, Upper Hutt, New Zealand, 13 - 15 April 2007 Dorothea Preis The young man, called by Henry VII's spin doctors, "Perkin Warbeck", has been surrounded by controversy ever since he first appeared on the world stage. He claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, the younger son of Edward IV, and thus would have been the brother of Henry's Queen Elizabeth. As Perkin Warbeck he is often regarded by historians as a footnote of little consequence to the glorious Tudor reign, and this is certainly the image that the Tudors liked to create. As we shall see, whatever Henry’s efforts at portraying the affair, this young man had him seriously worried and was widely accepted as Richard of York. As we know according to Tudor history Richard III was that evil monster who killed his poor innocent nephews. Therefore anyone claiming to be one of these nephews had to be an impostor, and a rather stupid one at that. However, there is no proof that they were indeed murdered by their uncle, or anyone else for that matter, and once we acknowledge this, we can have a more unbiased look at this young man’s identity. When Henry came to the throne he had the Titulus Regius, stating that Edward IV's children were illegitimate, revoked, in order to have an added claim to the throne through his wife.

Constructing History Lawson Garrett Hammock Richard III and the Wars of the Roses: A Teaching Unit The historical life and times of Richard III of England (1452-1485) presents an especially vivid demonstration of the idea that history is constructed. Both villainized and venerated by his contemporaries, Richard has also run the gamut through modern historians’ portrayals, which brings some query as to their historiological methods. This teaching unit is designed to introduce high school history students to some key concepts of artifact/document analysis. Its four activities allow students to discover for themselves the historical disjunctions that can occur between competing histories. Another reason Richard makes for a wonderful subject is the excitement, the drama, the mystery, and the intrigue surrounding his persona.

Goodman: European Chivalry in the 1490s EUROPEAN CHIVALRY IN THE 1490S JENNIFER R. GOODMAN This paper calls to remembrance an older world of the 1490s, one not often revisted by students of the Age of Discovery. This excursion offers a new path towards the better understanding of the Europeans of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries through the reexamination of the international chivalric culture of christian Europe. In the case of chivalry, pejorative judgement has distracted us from a striking process of creative adaptation. This paper's first goal is to give some idea of the atmosphere of the decade, of the pervasiveness of this chivalric element. Chiv- alry functioned as a medium for international understanding and communication, a common social, cultural, political, and even re- ligious language. It also provided an arena of competition be- tween individuals and groups. This study stresses the interna- tional character of this literature, and of this European chivalric ideology, with, of course, important national variations.

  • Chisholm Batten, E, Henry VII in Somersetshire, Part II, Volume 25
    iijiirir VII in ^nmcractshiiv.* BY E. CHISHOLM BATTEN, ESQ. IHE visit of Henry the Seventh to this county was at a critical epoch in the history of his reign. The King came into Somersetshire in the autumn of 1497, after two rebellions which broke out in that year had been suppressed : the Cornish rebellion by the victory at Black heath, on the 17th June ; and the rebellion of Perkin Warbeck^s adherents by his flight from Taunton on the 21st September. The Cornish rebellion was a remarkable incident in a remark- able reign, and it can hardly be understood without looking at matters as they stood at the opening of the year. The King was then preparing to take the field against Scotland, and obtained a Parliamentary grant of two-fifteenths, each about £30,000, and a Subsidy equal in amount to them—in all, a sum of about . £ 120, 000 Henry knew that thoroughly to prepare for war is the best mode to secure peace. He had—yielding not unwillingly to the solicitations of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain—just joined them in the great league against France. The importance of this step he had not exaggerated by his solemn reception of the hallowed Sword and Cap of Maintenance sent him in con- sequence, by Pope Alexander, on All-Saints^ Day (Ist Nov.), 1496. The statesmen of France did not neglect their traditional policy; Scotland was stirred up to attack England openly, and at the very moment that Pobert Shirborn, (whom we shall find by and by in our county,) Henryks ambassador, was agreeing to ( 1 ).

  • Henry VII's Letter to Carlisle in 1498: His Concerns About Retaining in a Border Fortress1
    Henry VII’s Letter to Carlisle in 1498: His Concerns about Retaining in a Border Fortress1 Abstract Henry VII’s reign has been the subject of increased study in recent years, in particular his relationship with the nobility and his determination to ensure the loyalty of his subjects. Henry VII was adept at utilising the numerous methods at his disposal in order to keep his crown. This article makes a contribution to this broader understanding of Henry VII’s reign by focusing on one document, a letter to the city of Carlisle dated 15 February 1498, which ordered that the statutes relating to retaining and the distribution of liveries should be upheld. While the letter has been noted by previous historians, it has not been the subject of a detailed examination. This article explains the significance of the document for understanding the reign of Henry VII, his attitude towards retaining and the relationship between royal and urban governments in the late fifteenth century. This particular letter includes two novel features not found in other letters to towns about retaining. First, there is an explicit reference to the possibility of a Scottish invasion. Second, the city’s government were all required to swear oaths of fealty to Henry VII. Although, the letter confirms the general picture that Henry VII was keen to remind his subjects of their duties and obligations to the crown and that he built on and adapted Yorkist innovations, it highlights his specific concern in early 1498, in the aftermath of the Perkin Warbeck conspiracy that James IV of Scotland may still invade.

  • Lambert Simnel and the King from Dublin
    Lambert Simnel and the King from Dublin GORDON SMITH Throughout his reign (1485-1509) Richard III's supplanter Henry VII was troubled by pretenders to his throne, the most important of whom were Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck.1 Both are popularly remembered perhaps because their names have a pantomime sound to them, and a pantomime context seems a suitable one for characters whom Henry accused of being not real pretenders but mere impersonators. Nevertheless, there have been some doubts about the imposture of Perkin, although there appear to have been none before now about Lambert.2 As A.F. Pollard observed, 'no serious historian has doubted that Lambert was an impostor'.3 This observation is supported by the seemingly straightforward traditional story about the impostor Lambert Simnel, who was crowned king in Dublin but defeated at the battle of Stoke in 1487, and pardoned by Henry VII. This story can be recognised in Francis Bacon's influential history of Henry's reign, published in 1622, where Lambert first impersonated Richard, Duke of York, the younger son of Edward IV, before changing his imposture to Edward, Earl of Warwick.4 Bacon and the sixteenth century historians derived their account of the 1487 insurrection mainly from Polydore Vergil's Anglica Historia, but Vergil, in his manuscript compiled between 1503 and 1513, said only that Simnel counterfeited Warwick.5 The impersonation of York derived from a life of Henry VII, written around 1500 by Bernard André, who failed to name Lambert.6 Bacon's York-Warwick imitation therefore looks like a conflation of the impostures from André and Vergil.

  • Espionage and Intelligence from the Wars of the Roses to the Reformation
    Espionage and Intelligence from the Wars of the Roses to the Reformation In the period between the Wars of the Roses and the Refonnation spies were used in foreign and military-affairs and for reasons of domestic security.* Contrary to expectations spies are not difficult to locate or document. They were a feature of classical and ancient civilisations; and the Middle Ages, which drew inspiration from the classical world, followed its example. Classical histories, the study of which was part of a prince's education, contain examples of espionage. The works of Jean de Bueil (d. 1477) and Robert de Balsac ( 1502), present in the Royal library, prescribed the use of spies. Christine de Pisan, synthes1ser of contemporary military practice and the Vegetian canon, was translated into Enghsh and published in 1492 on the orders of Henry VII. 1 The literature of the period suggests that spies were an everyday part of military life. Blind Hary's Wallace, written in 1478. describes two spies being sent out at midnight to reconnoitre a castle. The chronicles of the period deal with espionage in a matter of fact way, presenting it with little or no comment, except where there was a contemporary controversy. Polydore Vergil spent several paragraphs dismissing the notion that 'as some people think' Sir Robert Clifford and Sir Robert Curzon were spies of Henry VII. 2 Letters of the period also evidence the work of spies. Royal accounts state openly that rewards were given for spying or in the circumnambulation of the time state that such and such an individual was 'about the king's business'.
