As members will have read in previous issues of the Bulletin a dedicated band of volunteers' led by Greta Turner, cleared the site and restored the moat, whjch was formally opened in 1994 (see Bulletin 284). The stewardship of this site represents an exciting venture and challenge for the Society. It is intended to be a focus for long term archaeological and documentary research of the site itself and its influence on and relationship to the surrounding area. The moat, which is a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological importance, will be of particular interest to schools as it illustrates aspects of archaeology and man's use of the landscape.

  • The Beaufort Family
    FRIENDS OF WOKING PALACE The Beaufort Family The Beauforts were the children of John of Gaunt and his mistress, Katherine Swynford. Although the children were born whilst John was married to Constance, Queen of Castile, the line was legitimised by Papal Bull and Act of Parliament and became the House of Tudor in 1485 when Henry VII defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field. The connection of the Beauforts with Woking house began when John Beaufort married Margaret Holland the sister and coheir of the childless Edmund Holland, Earl of Kent.

He was initially very popular. None of William's successors has attempted to remove a government or to appoint another against the wishes of Parliament. During the rest of his reign William IV had not much opportunity of active political interference, but on one other occasion he made an unjustifiable use of his prerogative. William served in the Royal Navy in his youth, spending time in North America and the Caribbean , and was later nicknamed the "Sailor King". He ensured a strict discipline aboard his ships and attempted to fulfil his duties as a professional seaman rather than a prince, preferring to advance officers who were of established naval families rather than sons of the aristocracy. He abolished the cat o' nine tails for most offences other than mutiny , attempted to improve the standard of naval gunnery, and required regular reports of the condition and preparedness of each ship. Public perception in Germany was that Britain dictated Hanoverian policy. Be the first to write a review. In contrast, his hard-drinking elder brother George IV, who acted as Prince Regent during their father's illness, and second brother Prince Frederick, both died relatively young.

  • Antony Wydevile, Lord Scales and Earl Rivers: Family, Friends and Affinity
    Antony Wydevile, Lord Scales and Earl Rivers: Family, Friends and Affinity. Part 1. LYNDA PIDGEON The intention of this article is to look at Antony Wydevile and to find out to what extent he was typical of his family and his period. Before considering him as an individual, his family and its position within society will be studied. The Wydevile family came from the ranks of the lower gentry and has generally been vilified as grasping and opportunistic. Their rise in fortune was due to two marriages, and though they were members of a minor family they dared eventually to reach for the crown. By April 1483 everything that they had worked for appeared to have come to an end. Following Edward IV’s death Richard, Duke of Gloucester, outmanoeuvred them in a virtually blood- less coup, which led to the loss of their control of the young king, Edward V. Richard accused them of plotting against him and Antony was arrested and later executed, while Queen Elizabeth fled into sanctuary with her children. Despite the setbacks of 1483, by the end of 1485 a Wydevile child sat on the throne, albeit a woman. Can the career of the Wydeviles therefore be seen as a success story even if this was not the result they had anticipated and worked for? Looking at the few documents and chronicles that remain, the truth of Lander’s observation that ‘the political history of the period is a web of shreds and tatters’ and that ‘observations on characters and motives are (so) few’1 be- comes increasingly apparent.

  • A Conversation with Philippa Gregory What First Interested You
    A Conversation with Philippa Gregory What first interested you in Margaret Pole? I was aware of Margaret as the daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, as one of the children of the three brothers of York: Edward, George, and Richard. But she really came to my attention when I was writing The White Princess and I understood her intimacy and shared interests with Elizabeth of York, her cousin. How did Margaret’s role on the outskirts of the Tudor court allow you to create a unique insight into the events of Henry VIII’s rise and reign? She is a marvellous character to use as a narrator since she is intimate with Henry from his earliest years, a close friend of his mother, and then the friend and constant companion of his first wife. She sees him as only a member of his family could see him grow and mature, and she is uniquely placed to watch his deterioration. What were some of the challenges of using a lesser-known historical figure as a narrator at the centre of a novel compared to one that has been written about extensively, such as Anne Boleyn or Henry VIII himself? The advantage of a character whose life has not been thoroughly researched is that you avoid strong preconceptions and prejudices from the reader; as a writer of fiction based on the facts you are able to tell the story as you see it—and not be constantly compared to another writer’s version. The disadvantage of course is that there are gaps in the historical record and gaps in the speculation which historians bring to well-worked topics.

  • Gerhard Von Wesel's Newsletter from England, 17 April 1471
    Gerhard von Wesel’s Newsletter from England, 17 April 1471 HANNES KLEINEKE From the perspective of the modern scholar, one of the more fascinating aspects of the political crisis of 1470-71 is the existence of a number of closely contemporary ‘eye-witness’ accounts of events in England. Several of these accounts take the form of letters sent by diplomats or private individuals to the European continent or the English regions to transmit news of the latest developments.1 The best known of these newsletters were commissioned by the restored Edward IV himself,2 but others contain the independent (if sometimes badly informed) observations, which their authors reported – we must assume – in good faith. One of the most interesting of these accounts, not least because of its distinctive perspective, is that sent to the authorities of the German city of Cologne by Gerhard von Wesel, a merchant of the Steelyard, the Hanseatic headquarters in London. It was first printed in the German original by Goswin, Freiherr von der Ropp, in 1890,3 and an English translation by Donald White was published by John Adair in the Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research in 1968.4 The newsletter’s author, Gerhard von Wesel,5 was born in about 1443 as the second of three sons of Hermann von Wesel (died 1484), a Cologne merchant trading in England from the later 1420s.6 It is possible that the boy’s parents initially intended him for a clerical or academic career, since he received a degree of formal education and by the age of about fourteen had enrolled at the university of Cologne.

    King William IV, monarch of England, reigned from 1830 until his death in 1837. William served in the Royal Navy in his youth and was, both during his reign and afterwards, nicknamed the "Sailor King". He served in North America and the Carribean.
