Sir William Oldhall. SIR WILLIAM OLDHALL Was a Staunch Adherent of the House of York in the Wars of the Eoses 1910 CASTLE-GUABD AND BARONS' HOUSES 715 A similar service, known as ' heckage,' was due from many of the knights who owed castle-guard to Pevensey : Mr. Salzmann was the first to point out that this word ' was connected with liaga, a hedge, hay, or palisade, and implied the obligation of keeping up a certain portion of the palisades on the ramparts of Pevensey.' "& In proof of this interpretation, he quotes a plea of 4 John in which Hugh Dyve, lord of the manor of East Haddon in Northamptonshire, claimed against Henry Dyve, his mesne tenant, the service of erecting Downloaded from a certain hay upon the vallum of the king's castle of Pevensey, as pertaining to a knight's fee which he held in Brarnpton, Northampton- shire.23 But this service was commuted in 1254 when Peter of Savoy, as lord of Pevensey, made an agreement with John of Gatesden and others by which they compounded for their heckages at the rate http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ of twelve marks for each heckage.24 It seems probable that a service of a somewhat similar nature was due to another Sussex castle ; for there is an interesting series of fines, dated 1266-7, by which in consideration of payments at the rate of twelve marks from every knight's fee William de Breuse released to his knights the castle-guard and murage that they owed to his castle at Bramber.25 Of course, it may be that the Bramber murage was like the murage of certain towns, a payment for the at University of California, San Diego on August 26, 2015 repair of the walls, but, even so, it is an unusual incident of castle- guard. It is possible that further investigation may show the existence of ' barons' houses ' in other castles, and also of other castles where those who owed castle-guard were also responsible for the repairs of the walls ; it is sufficient, however, to call attention to the support given by the cases of Newcastle, Bamburgh, and Dover to the ' garrison theory ' of the origin of the non-dominical burgesses in the boroughs of the eleventh century. A. BALLAED. Sir William Oldhall. SIR WILLIAM OLDHALL was a staunch adherent of the House of York in the Wars of the Eoses. The Oldhalls were a Norfolk family, owning manors in and around East Dereham and Fransham. Edmund Oldhall, father of Sir William, was on the commission of the peace for Norfolk and much employed in county business ; when he died in 1417, William Oldhall was abroad serving under Thomas Beaufort, duke of Exeter, and administration of Edmund's estate was granted to a certain William Shelton, who, spreading reports that William Oldhall had died abroad, succeeded in H Sussex Ardiacol.

It was not till 1421, when Henry V returned to England after the Treaty of Troyes, that Oldhall was able to petition 1 for redress, and his manors were then restored to him. Oldhall went back to Prance and served under Thomas Montacute, earl of Salisbury, at the battle of Crevant in 1423 and at Verneuil in 1424, where he was knighted ; he distinguished himself in the invasion of Anjou and Maine in 1425, and was sent to Flanders in 1426. He was for a while Downloaded from seneschal of Normandy and was captain of various castles at different times, and altogether gained a considerable reputation as a soldier, in view of which, no doubt, he was summoned to the great council at Westminster in April and May 1434, and again in February 1489, to discuss the war. In 1440 Oldhall became chamberlain and http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ a member of the ' discreet counoil' of Eichard, duke of York, who had been put in command in France, and he thus began a connexion which lasted for the rest of his hie. About 1447 apparently Oldhall acquired from the duke of York the manor and park of Hunsdon, Hertfordshire, and added to the estate by purchasing in 1448 the adjoining manor of Eastwick. The duke had had licence " in 1447 to build an embattled tower of stone at Hunsdon, and Oldhall prooeeded to build there a briok tower 80 feet square with 7 buttresses of at University of California, San Diego on August 26, 2015 great width on each side and measuring in height 100 feet with the ' ovyrstorye ' called an ' oryell' with gilt vanes ; the total length of all the buildings with the stables was 80 paces, and, according to Sir William's keeper of the wardrobe, Humphrey Paris, the total cost was just over seven thousand marks.3 In August 1450 York, who was accused of having instigated Cade's insurrection, left Ireland, where he was lieutenant, and, accompanied, it would appear, by Oldhall, made his way in spite of some opposition to London, where he complained to the king that certain persons ' had in charge, as I am informed, to take me and put me in your castle of Conway, and to strike off the head of Sir William Oldhall, knight, and to have put in prison Sir William Devereux, knight, and Sir Edmund Malso, knight.'4 The king however denied any such intentions. Early in the following October Sir William Oldhall was with the king at Westminster more than two hours and had of the king good cheer. And the king desired of Sir William Oldhall that he should speak to his cousin, York, that he would be good lord to John Penycock and that my lord of York should write unto his tenantry that they would suffer Penycock's officers go and gather up his rents ferms within the said duke's lordships. And Sir William Oldhall answered again to the king and prayed him to hold my lord excused, for, though my lord wrote under his seal of his arms, his tenants will not obey 1 Soils of Parliament, iv. 158 b. ; Patent Rolls, 25 Hen.

And so he told the king.5 In the unsettled state of the kingdom, unscrupulous persons had acquired great influence in the country districts ; two such in Norfolk, Sir Thomas Tuddenham and John Heydon, now sought to make Downloaded from friends among York's party, and certain persons, we hear, ' labour sore for Heydon and Tuddenham to Sir William Oldhall and proffer more than two thousand pounds for to have his good lordship.'6 Meanwhile a parliament had been summoned and on 15 October 1450 Oldhall was chosen one of the representatives for Hertford- http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ shire. Parliament met on 6 November, and, being favourable to the duke of York, chose Oldhall as Speaker. It was dissolved on 10 June 1451, and the duke of Somerset came into power. Later in the year there was a robbery of some of Somerset's goods at the Black Friars. An officer of the court, Walter Burgh, accused Oldhall of the deed, and Henry, at Somerset's instigation, issued a mandate forbidding him to quit the city of London under heavy penalties. Oldhall, seeing that his enemies were too strong at University of California, San Diego on August 26, 2015 for him, and being, it seems, embarrassed by monetary obligations (in connexion perhaps with his building at Hunsdon), took sanctuary on 80 November at St. Martin's-le-Grand, which had special privi- leges. Somerset's party, contending that Oldhall was a traitor (alleging presumably that he was an accomplice of Cade) and as such not entitled to sanctuary, persuaded the king to demand him of the dean of St. Martin's. Dean Cowdray however asserted St. Martin's privileges, and proved that it would be a violation of them to insist on Oldhall's surrender ; Henry's piety would not go to such a length, and for the time Oldhall's enemies were foiled. But a few weeks later Oldhall's accuser, Walter Burgh, was set on in the publio street and wounded, and they were not slow to accuse Oldhall of instigating this outrage. Thereupon, on 18 January 1452 certain lords of Somerset's party broke into St. Martin's by night in the absence of the dean, seized Oldhall, and earned him on horseback to Westminster palace. To Oldhall his case must have seemed desperate, but the dean, hearing what had occurred, returned to London in great haste and made urgent representations to the king, with the result that after two days' detention Oldhall was surrendered to him ' in the gate of the Friars Preachers by the servants of the king in the presence of the duke of Somerset and others and thus,' in Cowdray's words, ' we led him back in midday in his proper person in the sight of many people.' 6 Patton Letters, ii. 174-5, ed. 1904.

ARTICLE BILLS OF ATTAINDER Matthew Steilen* ABSTRACT What are bills of attainder? The traditional view is that bills of attainder are legislation that punishes an individual without judicial process. The Bill of Attainder Clause in Article I, Section 9 prohibits the Congress from passing such bills. But what about the President? The traditional view would seem to rule out application of the Clause to the President (acting without Congress) and to executive agencies, since neither passes bills. This Article aims to bring historical evidence to bear on the question of the scope of the Bill of Attainder Clause. The argument of the Article is that bills of attainder are best understood as a summary form of legal process, rather than a legislative act. This argument is based on a detailed historical reconstruction of English and early American practices, beginning with a study of the medieval Parliament rolls, year books, and other late medieval English texts, and early modern parliamentary diaries and journals covering the attainders of Elizabeth Barton under Henry VIII and Thomas Wentworth, earl of Strafford, under Charles I.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

  • Wickham Court and the Heydons Gregory
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society glrcirecoingia Iantinna WICKHAM COURT AND THE HEYDONS By MOTHER MARY GREGORY, L.M., M.A.OxoN. Lecturer in History, Coloma Training College, Wickham Court THE manor of West Wickham in Kent came into the hands of the Heydon family of Baconsthorpe, Norfolk, in the latter years of the fifteenth century. The Heydons, a family which could be classed among the lesser gentry in the earlier part of the century, were in the ascendant in the social scale. The accumulation of manors was a sign of prosperity, and many hitherto obscure families were climbing into prominence by converting the wealth they had obtained through lucrative legal posts into real estate. The story of the purchase of West Wickham by the Heydons and of its sale by them just over a century later provides a useful example of the varying fortunes of a family of the gentry at this date, for less is known about the gentry as a class than of the nobility. John Heydon had prospered as a private lawyer, and his son Henry was the first of the family to be knighted. Henry's father made a good match for him, marrying him into the house of Boleyn, or Bullen, a family which was advancing even more rapidly to prominence. The lady chosen was a daughter of Sir Geoffrey Boleyn, a wealthy mercer who, in 1457, was elected Lord Mayor of London. Sir Geoffrey's grandson married Elizabeth Howard, a daughter of the Duke of Norfolk; his great-granddaughter, Henry Heydon's great-niece, was to be queen of England.

  • News, Information, and Documentary Culture in Late Medieval England
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “TAKE WRITING”: NEWS, INFORMATION, AND DOCUMENTARY CULTURE IN LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLAND Hyunyang Kim Lim, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Professor Theresa Coletti Department of English This dissertation analyzes late medieval English texts in order to understand how they respond to the anxieties of a society experiencing the growing passion for news and the development of documentary culture. The author’s reading of the Paston letters, Chaucer’s Man of Law’s Tale , and the Digby Mary Magdalene demonstrate these texts’ common emergence in an environment preoccupied with the production and reception of documents. The discussion pays particular attention to actual and fictional letters in these texts since the intersection of two cultural forces finds expression in the proliferation of letters. As a written method of conveying and storing public information, the letters examined in this dissertation take on importance as documents. The author argues that the letters question the status of writing destabilized by the contemporary abuse of written documents. The dissertation offers a view of late medieval documentary culture in connection with early modern print culture and the growth of public media. The Introduction examines contemporary historical records and documents as a social context for the production of late medieval texts. Chapter 1 demonstrates that transmitting information about current affairs is one of the major concerns of the Pastons. The chapter argues that late medieval personal letters show an investment in documentary culture and prepared for the burgeoning of the bourgeois reading public. Whereas Chapter 1 discusses “real” letters, Chapter 2 and 3 focus on fictional letters.

  • The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England
    The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England MATTHEW WARD, SA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy AUGUST 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, lS23 7BQ www.bl.uk ANY MAPS, PAGES, TABLES, FIGURES, GRAPHS OR PHOTOGRAPHS, MISSING FROM THIS DIGITAL COPY, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY Abstract This study examines the social, cultural and political significance and utility of the livery collar during the fifteenth century, in particular 1450 to 1500, the period associated with the Wars of the Roses in England. References to the item abound in government records, in contemporary chronicles and gentry correspondence, in illuminated manuscripts and, not least, on church monuments. From the fifteenth century the collar was regarded as a potent symbol of royal power and dignity, the artefact associating the recipient with the king. The thesis argues that the collar was a significant aspect of late-medieval visual and material culture, and played a significant function in the construction and articulation of political and other group identities during the period. The thesis seeks to draw out the nuances involved in this process. It explores the not infrequently juxtaposed motives which lay behind the king distributing livery collars, and the motives behind recipients choosing to depict them on their church monuments, and proposes that its interpretation as a symbol of political or dynastic conviction should be re-appraised. After addressing the principal functions and meanings bestowed on the collar, the thesis moves on to examine the item in its various political contexts.

EVANS, M.A. St John's College, Cambridge Cambridge at the University Press 1915 : £ V*. ©amtrrtrge PRINTED BY JOHN CLAY, M.A. AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS PREFACE AS its title suggests, the present volume is an attempt to ** examine the struggle between Lancaster and York from the standpoint of Wales and the Marches. Contemporary chroniclers give us vague and fragmentary reports of what happened there, though supplementary sources of informa- tion enable us to piece together a fairly consecutive and intelligible story. From the first battle of St Albans to the accession of Edward IV the centre of gravity of the military situation was in the Marches : Ludlow was the chief seat of the duke of York, and the vast Mortimer estates in mid-Wales his favourite recruiting ground. It was here that he experienced his first serious reverse—at Ludford Bridge; it was here, too, that his son Edward, earl of March, won his way to the throne—at Mortimer's Cross. Further, Henry Tudor landed at Milford Haven, and with a predominantly Welsh army defeated Richard III at Bosworth. For these reasons alone unique interest attaches to Wales and the Marches in this thirty years' war; and it is to be hoped that the investigation will throw some light on much that has hitherto remained obscure. 331684 vi PREFACE I have ventured to use contemporary Welsh poets as authorities ; this has made it necessary to include a chapter on their value as historical evidence.
