    “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.

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( Ixxxvi ) MEMOIR OF JOHN PHILIPOT, THE HERALD. RY "W. A. SCOTT ROBERTSON. PHILIPOT was born at Folkestone in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, but we cannot discover the exact year of his birth. The baptismal registers of the parish do not assist us, for the earliest now in existence commences with the year 1635. His father, Henry Philpot, possessed considerable property in Folkestone, of which town he had been Mayor. He was lessee of the rectorial tithes, and was buried in the parish church in 1603. From his will, dated in 1602, we learn that his son John was then a boy at school; he was probably born between 1587 and 1592. His mother, Judith Philpot, was a daughter and coheir of David Leigh, servant to the Archbishop of Canterbury. She and the executors of Henry Philpot's will were directed to keep the lad at school, and to pay for his education out of the annual pro- ceeds of eighteen acres of land in Romney Marsh, which the testator had purchased from Robert Gaunt. When his education was .completed, he was to be apprenticed to an honest man of such trade as the execu- tors thought most fit.* Upon attaining his majority, he was to receive a sum of money equivalent to five years' profits of the said eighteen acres of marsh land. So long as his mother Judith lived, the sum of £10 per annum was to be paid to him, but upon her decease the houses and lands in Folkestone which had been bequeathed to her were to pass to her son, John Philipot.
