Dr Peter Moore 2015 4 A Guide to the Pictures at Powis Castle The Pictures N.B. All pictures, unless otherwise stated, are oil on canvas. The pictures appear here in the order in which they are encountered on the visitor route. Where old in-house inventory numbers are present on the works, they have been included here to aid identification; where they are not, the prefix (--) is used. The Smoking Room (19) British School Thomas Parr, ‘Old Parr’ (?1483–1635), 17th century NT1180907 Thomas Parr was a Shropshire farm labourer who rose to fame in the 17th century on account of his unfathomably old age. Legend has it that when he died in 1635 he was 152 years old. Shortly before his death he was brought to London by the Earl of Arundel where he became an object of curiosity and was widely known as ‘Old Parr’. He was presented to the king and enjoyed something of a celebrity status. He was the subject of a popular pamphlet titled ‘The Old, Old, Very Old Man or the Age and Long Life of Thomas Parr’. He did not survive life in the city for very long, though he clearly made a big impact; he was buried in Westminster Abbey where his small white marble gravestone can still be seen in the centre of the south transept. (..) After Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–92) Mary Darby, Mrs Thomas Robinson, ‘Perdita’, c.1775 NT1181074 Mary Darby was a famous actress, best known for playing the role of Perdita in the 1779 production of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. She gained notoriety as the first public mistress of King George IV while he was still Prince of Wales. Her affair with him ended in 1781 amidst much publicity; after threatening to publish the prince’s letters, she returned them in exchange for £5,000 and a small annuity. This painting derives from one of the many portraits of her by Joshua Reynolds, and may have been copied from an engraving. The theatricality of her costume and the flamboyant red drapery behind her seems highly fitting for her popular reputation and character. The Pictures 5 (116) Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy (1588–C.1655) Portrait of an Unknown Man (117) Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy (1588–C.1655) Portrait of an Unknown Man Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy was a portrait painter of the Dutch ‘Golden Age’ – a period of the 17th century when the Netherlands led the way in global trade, art, science and technology. Many of Pickenoy’s portraits depict figures who made their fortunes during these years. The unknown man and woman in these two portraits have not been identified, although they probably fit into this category. Their fine clothing appears of the quality and style that would befit such status. It is possible that they were citizens of Amsterdam, where the artist enjoyed a highly successful career. On loan to the National Trust from the Powis Estates Trustees. The State Dining Room (1) George Romney (1734–1802) Rebecca Clive, Mrs Robinson (1760–95), late 18th century NT1181063 Rebecca Clive was the eldest daughter of Robert, ‘Clive of India’. She married General John Robinson in 1780. This painting is probably the full-length portrait of her that the artist George Romney began but never finished, which was sold for 20 guineas in 1805. The canvas was later cut down to a three-quarter-length and completed by an unknown artist named ‘Mr Brown’, at the request of General Robinson. Romney was originally from Cumbria, but he settled in London in 1762 where he rose to fame as one the most fashionable portrait painters of the day. (See No. 113 for another likeness of this sitter). (2) Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–92) Lady Henrietta Herbert, Countess of Powis (1758–1830), 1777 NT1181064 Lady Henrietta was the daughter of Henry Herbert, 1st Earl of Powis. In 1784 she married Edward, 2nd Lord Clive, who was later created Earl of Powis in 1804. It was through Lady Henrietta that the Powis estates passed to the Clive family. She travelled to India with her daughters in 1798 during her husband’s tenure of the Governorship of Madras and stayed there until 1801. During this time she toured the southern regions of the country and formed a collection of Indian curiosities which are now on display in the Clive Museum at Powis. The hat and lace scarf she is shown wearing here do not appear in the 1778 engraving after this work; these elements appear to have been added at a later date. 6 A Guide to the Pictures at Powis Castle (3) George Romney (1734–1802) The Hon. Charlotte Clive (1762–95), c.1783–1785 NT1181065 Charlotte Clive was the second daughter of Robert, ‘Clive of India’. Her godmother was Queen Charlotte. She travelled widely in Italy, where portraits of her were produced by notable artists including Angelica Kauffman, Charles Grignion (No. 81) and Hugh Douglas Hamilton (No. 105). She died unmarried. Sittings for this portrait are recorded in 1783, and a payment of £42 is noted as being ‘received of Miss Charlotte for her portrait half-length’. A letter also survives which requests for ‘Miss Clive’s portrait to be sent to John Robinson, esq [her brother-in-law], Denston Hall, Suffolk’. (65) FranÇois De Troy (1645–1730) Lady Mary Herbert, Viscountess Montagu (1659–1744/45), late 17th century NT1180944 Lady Mary Herbert was the eldest daughter of William, 1st Marquess of Powis. She married three times: firstly to the Hon. Richard Molyneux, secondly to Francis Browne, 4th Viscount Montagu (d.1708), and finally to Sir George Maxwell (d.1720). In this portrait she is attended by an Egyptian girl, who is shown bringing her a jewelled coronet. It is thought that the painting was produced while Mary was in exile with her father, who remained loyal to the deposed King James II after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. (66) FranÇois De Troy (1645–1730) Lady Lucy Herbert (1668–1744) as a Vestal Virgin, c.1692–1693 NT1180945 Lucy Herbert was the fourth daughter of William, 1st Marquess of Powis – a leading Catholic nobleman whose portrait (No.

As your Wars of the Roses chairs, Teo Lamiot and I have been working hard with our crisis director, Sofia Filippa, and SMUNC Secretariat members to make this conference the best yet. If you have attended SMUNC before, I promise that this year will be even more full of surprise and intrigue than your last conference; if you are a newcomer, let me warn you of how intensely fun and challenging this conference will assuredly be. Regardless of how you arrive, you will all leave better delegates and hopefully with a reinvigorated love for Model UN.

With 19 Illustrations including a Photogravure Frontispiece DANA ESTES & CO. BOSTON Printed in Great Britain 5134844 PREFACE TT may perhaps be maintained that, if Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine and Duchess of Cleveland, has not been written about in many books, it is for a good and sufficient reason, that she is not worth writing about. That is not an argument to be lightly decided. But certainly less interesting women have been the subjects of numerous books, worse women, less influential and less beautiful than this lady of the dark auburn hair and deep blue eyes. We know that Mr. G. K. Chesterton says that Charles II attracts him morally. (His words are " attracts us," but this must be the semi-editorial " we.") If King Charles can attract morally Mr. Chesterton, may not his favourite attract others ? Or let us be repelled, and as we view the lady acting " her part at Whitehall let us exclaim, How differ- ent from the Court of ... good King William III," if we like. Undoubtedly the career of Barbara Villiers furnishes a picture of one side at least of life in the Caroline of the life of unfalter- period ; pleasure unrestrained, ing unless through lack of cash and unrepentant. For Barbara did not die, like her great rival Louise de " Keroualle (according to Saint-Simon), very old, V 2082433 vi PREFACE " and like very penitent, very poor ; or, another rival, Hortense Mancini (according to Saint-Evre- " mond), seriously, with Christian indifference toward life." On the principle bumani nil a me alienum puto even the Duchess of Cleveland cannot be con- sidered of attention as unworthy ; but, being more extreme in type, therefore more interesting than the competing beauties of her day.

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

    8 THE FAMILY OF L’ESTRANGE AND THE CONQUEST OF WALES1 The Rt Hon The Lord Crickhowell PC Abstract The L’Estrange family were important Marcher lords of Wales from the twelfth century to the Acts of Union in the sixteenth century. Originating in Brittany, the family made their home on the Welsh borders and were key landowners in Shropshire where they owned a number of castles including Knockin. This lecture looks at the service of several generations of the family to the English Crown in the thirteenth century, leading up to the death of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd in 1282. With its practice of intermarriage with noble Welsh families, the dynasty of L’Estrange exemplifies the hybrid nature of Marcher society in the Middle Ages. Two points by way of introduction: the first to explain that what follows is taken from my book, The Rivers Join.2 This was a family history written for the family. It describes how two rivers joined when Ann and I married. Among the earliest tributaries traced are those of my Prichard and Thomas ancestors in Wales at about the time of the Norman Conquest; and on my wife’s side the river representing the L’Estranges, rising in Brittany, flowing first through Norfolk and then roaring through the Marches to Wales with destructive force. My second point is to make clear that I will not repeat all the acknowledgements made in the book, except to say that I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the late Winston Guthrie Jones QC, the author of the paper which provided much of the material for this lecture.

  • THE POWER of BEAUTY in RESTORATION ENGLAND Dr
    THE POWER OF BEAUTY IN RESTORATION ENGLAND Dr. Laurence Shafe [email protected] THE WINDSOR BEAUTIES www.shafe.uk • It is 1660, the English Civil War is over and the experiment with the Commonwealth has left the country disorientated. When Charles II was invited back to England as King he brought new French styles and sexual conduct with him. In particular, he introduced the French idea of the publically accepted mistress. Beautiful women who could catch the King’s eye and become his mistress found that this brought great wealth, titles and power. Some historians think their power has been exaggerated but everyone agrees they could influence appointments at Court and at least proposition the King for political change. • The new freedoms introduced by the Reformation Court spread through society. Women could appear on stage for the first time, write books and Margaret Cavendish was the first British scientist. However, it was a totally male dominated society and so these heroic women had to fight against established norms and laws. Notes • The Restoration followed a turbulent twenty years that included three English Civil Wars (1642-46, 1648-9 and 1649-51), the execution of Charles I in 1649, the Commonwealth of England (1649-53) and the Protectorate (1653-59) under Oliver Cromwell’s (1599-1658) personal rule. • Following the Restoration of the Stuarts, a small number of court mistresses and beauties are renowned for their influence over Charles II and his courtiers. They were immortalised by Sir Peter Lely as the ‘Windsor Beauties’. Today, I will talk about Charles II and his mistresses, Peter Lely and those portraits as well as another set of portraits known as the ‘Hampton Court Beauties’ which were painted by Godfrey Kneller (1646-1723) during the reign of William III and Mary II.
