  • Over 900 Years of History – a Brief History
    Amberley Castle Over 900 Years of History in Brief Amberley Castle c1380 The land where Amberley Castle stands was gifted to Bishop Wilfrid in 683 AD by Caedwalla, King of Wessex. In the Domesday Book it was recorded Amberley had 17 villagers and 25 smallholders at this time. The land then became the property of the Bishop of Chichester. The current buildings have their origins in a timber-framed hunting lodge built by Bishop Luffa of Chichester in 1103. Bishop Luffa also had the parish church built next door. In 1140, the timber-framed building was knocked down by Bishop Seffrid I, to make way for a more elaborate stone hall. The first building here was the small hall and its Norman entrance can still be seen in reception the entrance to the Great Room. In approximately 1200, Bishop Seffrid II had the East Wing built. A larger Great Hall and other domestic improvements were added by Bishop John of Langton during his time at Chichester between 1305 and 1337. It was at this time it became known as “Bishop of Chichester’s Summer Palace”. When Bishop Reede took the throne at Chichester, he had the Great Hall knocked down and built a grander one! In 1377, Bishop Reede applied to King Richard II for permission to crenellate the grounds and add the gatehouse and Oubliette – to ward off pirates! Many believe it was more to show off! Permission was granted for this on 10th December 1377, and during 1377 and 1382 the work took place. The crenellations, battlements and a portcullis transformed it into a fortified manor house.

(He did not however use the additional title until after the death of the Dowager Countess of Surrey in 1361.) He made very large loans to King Edward III but even so on his death left behind a great sum in hard cash. Marriages and Children By his first marriage to Isabel Despenser he had two children: Edmund Fitzalan, who was bastardized by the annulment, married Sybil, daughter of William Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury. Mary (Isabel) Fitzalan (died 29 August 1396), married John Le Strange, 4th Lord Strange of Blackmere [1] By the second marriage to Eleanor Plantagenet, he had 3 sons and 3 surviving daughters: Richard, who succeeded him as 11th Earl of Arundel John Fitzalan,1st Baron Maltravers, who was a Marshall of England, and drowned in 1379 Thomas Arundel, who became Archbishop of Canterbury Joan (1348 - 7 April 1419) who married Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford Alice (1350 - 17 March 1416), who married Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent Eleanor Fitzalan (1356 - before 1366).

  • FC Series of Archives
    ARUNDEL CASTLE ARCHIVES Vol IV A CATALOGUE Edited by Francis W Steer Preface Unlike its predecessors, this fourth volume of the catalogue of the archives at Arundel Castle will have to remain in manuscript until either printing costs are reduced or a new and economical process of reproduction is invented. This situation is a matter for regret on two counts as it spoils a series of printed books which have been of assistance to scholars all over the world and it is going to make the definitive edition of the catalogue of this vast collection of archives more difficult for someone to compile in the future. This volume, so far as manuscript permits, follows the style of the other three. It contains (pp1-65) a vast accumulation of records (mainly drafts although some are of special interest and importance) which Messrs Few & Co. (solicitors to the Dukes of Norfolk since 1815) must have transferred to Norfolk House, St James‟s Square, London, over 90 years ago. The documents are in excess of 9,200 and demonstrate, in particular, the litigious character of Bernard Edward, 12th Duke of Norfolk (1765-1842) and the immense amount of work which accrued to his solicitors; they also show the policy with regard to the dispersal and/or consolidation of estates – sometimes to pay off enormous mortgages and at other times to simplify that difficult administration of what was a huge and scattered estate extending into several counties. The catalogue (1965) of the Arundel documents deposited at Sheffield City Library should not be forgotten by students concerned with properties in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

    The Spiral Stair or Vice: its origins, role and meaning in medieval stone castles. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Charles Ryder February 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For all their help and support, I wish to record my warmest thanks to the staff of the British Library, John Ryland‟s Library, the University of Liverpool and especially the staff of the University of Chester; to the owners of structures with spiral stairs who opened their doors to me, especially the de Vere family at Hedingham Castle and Mr Louis de Wett and Ms Gabrielle Drake at Much Wenlock Priory; to the custodians and managers of historical sites and in particular the lady who gave me a private tour of Charlemagne‟s Chapel, Aachen whose name I never knew and Mr N Fahy at Castle Rising; to a number of members of the Castle Studies Group, the M6 Group and the Liverpool Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies who gave good advice that assisted in my research both when crossing muddy fields in cold rain to visit castles, in warm lecture rooms and by various forms of mail; to people in Japan and China who were pleased to answer my questions and send photographs and articles; to Jean Mesqui, who encouraged my early research and corrected my French writing; almost finally, to my wife who, enduring much, visited almost as many castles as me and developed a excellent eye – far better than mine – for spotting castle features; however, above all I give thanks to my primary supervisor, Professor Peter Gaunt, who was my rock in the storm and from whom I learned many things, not always related to history and castles.

Tom Stephen Forster Selwyn College August 1 2019 ABSTRACT ‘Julius Caesar, Fortune, and Latin Historiography in Twelfth-Century England’ Tom Stephen Forster This thesis suggests that four twelfth-century English historians – Orderic Vitalis, William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon, and Robert of Lewes (as probable author of the Gesta Stephani) – believed that they had identified a schema that could determine who and what was culpable for engendering events that had been unexpected or whose outcomes defied expectation. These historians were amongst the first writers of the period to attribute such events to fortune, fortuna.
