  • Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe, Female Agency in Late Medieval England
    ABSTRACT “She Should Have More if She Were Ruled and Guided by Them”: Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe, Female Agency in Late Medieval England Laura Christine Oliver, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Beth Allison Barr, Ph.D. This thesis argues that while patriarchy was certainly present in England during the late medieval period, women of the middle and upper classes were able to exercise agency to a certain degree through using both the patriarchal bargain and an economy of makeshifts. While the methods used by women differed due to the resources available to them, the agency afforded women by the patriarchal bargain and economy of makeshifts was not limited to the aristocracy. Using Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe as cases studies, this thesis examines how these women exercised at least a limited form of agency. Additionally, this thesis examines whether ordinary women have access to the same agency as elite women. Although both were exceptional women during this period, they still serve as ideal case studies because of the sources available about them and their status as role models among their contemporaries. “She Should Have More if She Were Ruled and Guided By Them”: Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe, Female Agency in Late Medieval England by Laura Christine Oliver, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of History ___________________________________ Jeffrey S.

LONDON uuPR First Published in igio FEB 11955 ry r.F T 957820 CONTENTS PAGE Introduction vii The Third Part of King Henry the Sixth . i — INTRODUCTION [It is greatly to be regretted that owing to the lamented death of the Editor, the three Parts of Henry VI. had not the advan- tage of being printed under his own supervision. But his work has been preserved with all the fidelity permitted by its comparatively rough though otherwise complete condition. In preparing the plays for the press, I have confined my correc- tions to matters of fact, and where I differed from the Editor in matters of opinion, I did not feel justified in altering his words. While I have emended or ascertained the accuracy of nearly every quotation and reference, a very few remain which must be taken on his authority. In the third part I have had the great advantage of advice and help from the General Editor, Professor R. H. Case. C. K. Pooler] The text of j Henry VI. is from the Folio 1623. As was the case with Part II., it receives a few slight emendations from the Quarto (Q i, of which it is an expanded form) known as The True Tragedy (and forming the second part of The Whole Contention) which was first printed in 1595 with this title : The true tragedie of Richard Duke Yorke, and | of the death good King Henrie the Sixt, with the zuholc of | \ contentio?i hetweene the two Houses Lancaster and Yorke, \ | as it was sundrie times acted by the Right Honoura- ble | | the Earle of brooke his seruants.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

  • Historical Introduction
    HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. THE Manuscript volume from which this work of the Camden Society is derived has been long known as a record of great value: and has been quoted as such by several of the most inquiring and painstaking of our historical writers. Having come into the collection of the founder of the Harleian Library, so highly was its importance estimated by Humphrey Wanley, his librarian, that he described it at greater length than any other to which he eva- de voted his attention. His account of its contents occupies no fewer than sixty-five pages of the folio Catalogue of the Harleian Manu- scripts (vol. i. pp. 256-311). It was found, however, some years ago, on comparison of this calendar with the book itself, that it was far from presenting a complete view of the whole contents of the Manuscript, many entries being arbitrarily passed over, in the pro- portion of nearly two-fifths. In consequence it was thought desirable, with a view to an improved Catalogue of the Harleian Collection, which was then in contemplation, to make a fresh abstract of the volume. This was executed in the Manuscript Department of the British Museum in the year 1835; and, as there was no immediate prospect of its being printed, it was made accessible to the public by being classed as the Additional MS. 11,269. This latter book, however, being a mere abstract, page by page, unprovided with any index, is not at present of the least utility, except perhaps to a reader who might require assistance in his attempts to decypher the original.

THE ARMORIAL PLAQUES IN THE ROYAL SALOP INFIRMARY Janet Verasanso In the eighteenth century Shrewsbury, like most English towns, was crowded and unhealthy. 'Contagious', 'sweating' and 'putrid' fevers were rampant; death was ubiquitous, not only among the old and young but also among those in the prime of life.1 By the 1730s a number of socially conscious country gentlemen realised that the conditions in which the poor lived required an urgent solution.

For one, over time colleagues suggested that I pull together some of my articles, unpublished conference papers and essays into one volume for easy access. More recently, for four years I taught an upper-level course entitled The Tudor Kings at the University of Illinois at Chicago as a Visiting Professor. Students made a similar proposition with the addition of asking me to include “mini-Introductions” with anecdotes concerning how each piece materialized. I had assigned them several of my articles and essays to read as part of the class and they often asked about the process, the relationships between historians and how a project even came into being—interesting tidbits that usually never see the light of day.

  • The Charlton Hunt by George Stubbs (1759)
    GOODWOOD HOUSE 2016 The Charlton Hunt by George Stubbs (1759). The third Duke of Richmond rides a black hunter at the centre of the painting. THE CHARLTON HUNT ‘Mr Roper has the reputation of keeping the best pack of fox hounds in the Kingdom’. (Alexander Pope, 1712). o eighteenth-century ears, the Charlton Hunt was synonymous with some of the best sport in the country and Mr Roper was its Tcelebrated huntsman. Indeed, it is one of the earliest recorded foxhunts in the world and its fame drew the elite of society, including the Dukes of Monmouth, St Albans and Richmond, the dashing illegitimate sons of King Charles II. Richmond bought nearby Goodwood as a comfortable place to stay and entertain his illustrious friends during the hunting season. His son, the second Duke, shared his love of the chase and when he became Master, such was the success and desirability of the hunt, he decided that membership should be restricted only to those who had been elected. Almost every noble family in the land had a representative at Charlton, including half of the Knights of the Garter. Lord Burlington designed for the members a handsome banqueting house at Charlton where they met after hunting, and many built themselves hunting-boxes in the village. The most important day in the history of the Charlton Hunt took place on 26th January 1739 when in ‘the greatest chase that ever was’ hounds ran continuously from their first find at 8.15 a.m. until they killed at 5.50 p.m., covering a distance of approximately fifty-seven miles with just the Duke and two others present at the end.
