Plantagenet Times to Sheffield Ca. 1800 Chapter 17 Plantagenet times to Sheffield ca. 1800 600 YEARS FROM THE PLANT NAME’S ORIGINS TO A PLANT’S YARD PLANT FAMILY October 1998. One of a series of Chapters by Dr. John S. Plant, Keele University, England, ST5 5BG. parse evidence for 13th century ‘origins’ to the Plant name yields hints of a Plantagenet influ- S ence. Powerful political controversies surrounding Plantagenet-related words may have led to our current need for caution when considering the contemporaneity of various evolving meanings of plant. Trade and war may have influenced both the advent of the Plant name in the north west of England and the Plants’ subsequent advances across the north Midlands, in their progress towards the clearer light that 17th century records bring. The later sections of this Chapter outline the progress of a particular line of Plants from 17th century Cheshire through north Derbyshire to 18th century Sheffield. Their apparent descent inter- sects an environment that includes some key industrial developments. 17.1 A smattering of medieval Plant records ¢¡¤£¦¥¨§ © ©©© !"#¤$&%'#()%'!*+, - ,!*.0/1#(,21 #(34).15!"687:9;<.)).)¨#= ().@?BAC5!¢2D%¢FEG!H, I%'!*.JE4%KL MONP %¢3) ¦ P,#0Q$R#TS¦U¤5J%'!*3 -2;%¢3),!¢ -"#= > R !*%'# -.4¢?VW!B$RX #(34).Y5)!8EG# -.!¢ I).)ZEL!¢[$!¢!* ,"\X5!*5) !").]68# 5 > ^ `_G# -.)-5) ! !* a$"5)!¢ !5!Z+a=b/c2Y<a#¦$d/Y)21=e#(3)).@?fA"5!W#5!¢ * $"5)<%-5 5)g)%'!c.)</c)-5!*.ihbj¨(3) !DS¦U+?S¦kI f5).l EL#(3)nm(©op/c+2J+n !*%'# -.)g).q$Rg#( 5!H#(35Ors<)%'#()54 !8%'#(¢ P #(3)4.]tu#(<.)/1!*sv3),C# -5]#=¨68# =e#(K]).OAC5!7T-5@?

  • The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area
    I Contrebis 2000 The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area. Phil Hudson Introduction This paper hopes to provide a chronological outline of the events which were important in creating the landscape changes in the Quernmore forest area. There was movement into the area by prehistoric man and some further incursions in the Anglo- Saxon and the Norse periods leading to Saxon estates and settled agricultural villages by the time of the Norman Conquest. These villages and estates were taken over by the Normans, and were held of the King, as recorded in Domesday. The Post-Nonnan conquest new lessees made some dramatic changes and later emparked, assarted and enclosed several areas of the forest. This resulted in small estates, farms and vaccaries being founded over the next four hundred years until these enclosed areas were sold off by the Crown putting them into private hands. Finally there was total enclosure of the remaining commons by the 1817 Award. The area around Lancaster and Quernmore appears to have been occupied by man for several thousand years, and there is evidence in the forest landscape of prehistoric and Romano-British occupation sites. These can be seen as relict features and have been mapped as part of my on-going study of the area. (see Maps 1 & 2). Some of this field evidence can be supported by archaeological excavation work, recorded sites and artif.act finds. For prehistoric occupation in the district random finds include: mesolithic flints,l polished stone itxe heads at Heysham;'worked flints at Galgate (SD 4827 5526), Catshaw and Haythomthwaite; stone axe and hammer heads found in Quernmore during the construction of the Thirlmere pipeline c1890;3 a Neolithic bowl, Mortlake type, found in Lancaster,o a Bronze Age boat burial,s at SD 5423 5735: similar date fragments of cinerary urn on Lancaster Moor,6 and several others discovered in Lancaster during building works c1840-1900.7 Several Romano-British sites have been mapped along with finds of rotary quems from the same period and associated artifacts.

The plays I examine here are those which rely on chronicle histories for their source materials; are set in England, Scotland, or Wales; focus primarily on governance and sovereignty; and whose interest in history is didactic and actively political.

  • 80 in Which We Dawdle When Edward I Arrived Back in 1289 from Gascony, He Was in Many Ways at the Height of His Awesomeness
    80 In which we Dawdle When Edward I arrived back in 1289 from Gascony, he was in many ways at the height of his awesomeness. A chivalric monarch, a leading statesman in Christendom, and at least partly responsible for legal reforms, that will cause a historian to call him 'the English Justinian'. But he also had problems. He was strapped for cash. There was a background of discontent against the firmness of Edward's rule. But Edward was a clever politician as well as a chivalric monarch, and knew how to negotiate his way back to popularity - and it would not be good news for England's Jewish community. 16th-century illustration of Edward I presiding over Parliament. The scene shows Alexander III of Scotland and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Wales on either side of Edward; an episode that never actually occurred. (From Wiki).

And now there was no clear successor to his throne of Scotland. For the search for the right successor, the Scottish Guardians of the Realm turned to Scotland's friend - England.

These periods of engagement were the result of English nobles both living in and possessing land in northwest France. In their efforts to prevent further bloodshed, the monarchs began to engage in marriage diplomacy; by sending a young princess to a rival country, the hope would be that her native people would be unwilling to wage war on a royal family that carried their own blood. While this method temporarily succeeded, the tradition would create serious issues of inheritance, and the beginning of the last phase of the Hundred Years War, and the last act of success on the part of the English, the Treaty of Troyes, is the culmination of the efforts of the French kings of the early 14th century to pacify their English neighbors, cousins, and nephews. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Plantagenet Claim to France...................................................................................

  • Notes on the Lancaster Estates in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries
    NOTES ON THE LANCASTER ESTATES IN THE THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH CENTURIES BY DOROTHEA OSCHINSKY, D.Phil., Ph.D. Read 24 April 1947 UR knowledge of mediaeval estate administration is O based mainly on sources which relate to ecclesiastical estates, because these are easier of access and, as a rule, more complete. The death of an abbot affected a monastic estate only in so far as his successor might be a better or a worse husbandman; the estate was never divided between heirs, was not diminished by the endowment of widows and daughters, and was not doubled by prudent marriages as were seignorial estates. Furthermore, the ecclesiastics had frequently been granted their lands in frankalmoin, and no rent or service was rendered in return. With few exceptions their manors lay near the centre of the estate; and, finally, the clerics had sufficient leisure to supervise their estates themselves and little difficulty in providing a staff trained to work the estates intensively and profitably. Therefore we realise that any conclusions which are based on ecclesiastical estates only must necessarily be one-sided, and that before we can draw a general picture of the estate administration in the Middle Ages, we have to work out the estate adminis­ tration on at least some of the more important seignorial estates. The Lancaster estates with their changing fate are well able to reveal the chief characteristics of a seignorial estate, its extent, management and administration. The vastness of the estates of the Earls of Lancaster, and the importance of the family in the political history of the country, accen­ tuated and multiplied the difficulties of the estate adminis­ tration.

    The Red Rose of Lancaster? JOHN ASHDOWN—HILL In the fifteenth century the rival houses of Lancaster and York fought the ‘Wars of the Roses’ for possession of the crown. When, in 1485, the new Tudor monarch, Henry VII, brought these wars to an end, he united, by his mam'age to Elizabeth of York, the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York, to create a new emblem and a new dynasty. Thus was born the Tudor rose. So might run a popular account, and botanists, searching through the lists of medieval rose cultivars, have even proposed identifications of the red rose of Lancaster with Rosa Gallica and the white rose of York with Rosa Alba, while the bi-coloured Tudor rose is linked to the naturally occurring variegated sport of Rosa Gallica known as ‘Rosa Mundi’ (Rosa Gallica versicolor), or alternatively, to the rather paler Rosa Damascena versicolor. It should, perhaps, be observed that Rosa Gallica, while somewhat variable in colour. is more likely to be a shade of pink than bright red, and Rosa Alba, while generally white in colour, also occurs in shades of pink, so that in nature the colour~distinction between the two roses is not always clear. ‘Rosa Mundi’ is also strictly speaking variegated in two shades of pink, rather than being literally red and white.‘ The label ‘Wars of the Roses’was a late invention, first employed only in 1829, by Sir Walter Scott, in his romantic novel Anne of Geierstein.2 The story of the rose emblems might appear on casual inspection to be well-founded, for we find ample evidence of Tudor roses bespattering Tudor coinage and royal architecture, for example, at Hampton Court, the Henry VII chapel at Westminster, and at Cambridge, on the gates of Christ’s and St John’s Colleges, and in King’s College chapel.

  • The Crouchbank Legend Revisted T.P.J
    The Crouchbank Legend Revisted T.P.J. EDLIN With great interest I read John Ashdown-Hill’s stimulating article on the Lancastrian claim to the throne and Henry IV’s use of his descent from Edmund Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster and younger son of Henry III, to formulate a claim to the throne based on the legend that Edmund had in fact been the elder brother of Edward I. This brought to mind several additional thoughts which are set out here in the manner of an augmentation rather than a refutation. First, I discuss recent work which has advanced the claims of John Hardyng’s Chronicle as a source for the background to Henry IV’s usurpation and his use of the ‘Crouchback legend’, and which suggests that there was a systematic and ambitious plan to hijack chronicle evidence in Henry’s favour — a plan which failed, but may ultimately have helped to perpetuate a stubborn if ill-defined remnant of the Crouchback myth. Secondly, the poem Richard the Redeless will be considered, and the possibility that its guardedly Lancastrian perspective hints at the general currency of ideas about Henry’s legitimacy — and, at the same time, Richard II’s illegitimacy — as king. There are, in conclusion, some further thoughts on the differing interpretations of the meaning of Henry’s claim that he was taking the throne as the legitimate heir, ‘of the right line of the blood’ in descent from Henry III. It seems to me that the ‘contemporary tradition that ([Henry III’s son) Edmund was born before his brother Edward’ cited by John Ashdown-Hill refers to the life-time of John of Gaunt.2 Such a promotion (or even invention) of every possible (or impossible) right or claim within Gaunt’s immediate family was entirely consistent with his character and career.
