  • Thomas, Lord Stanley by Michael Iliffe
    Thomas, Lord Stanley by Michael Iliffe Thomas Lord Stanley was the son of Thomas, 1st Baron Stanley. The 1st baron was a younger son of Cheshire gentry who had been elevated to the peerage. Thomas, his son, became the 2nd Baron Stanley at his father’s death in 1459, and in 1461 became Chief Justice of Cheshire. In 1472 he married Eleanor, the sister of Richard Neville (“the kingmaker”). They had four sons that we know of; George, Edward, Edmund and James. George was to become Lord Strange, James joined the Church, Edward and Edmund played no part in the politics of the time. Lord Stanley’s brother, William, later became Sir William Stanley. After the death of his wife, Eleanor, he married Margaret Beaufort in 1482, and became the step-father of Henry Tudor, son of Edmund Tudor, the Duke of Richmond, who died in 1458. Margaret was the daughter of John, 1st Duke of Somerset; she brought him great wealth, and a wife of breeding and accomplishment. Thomas and Margaret had no children together. During the personal rule of Henry VI, Lord Stanley became Controller of the Royal Household, and in times of crisis the court looked to him to provide troops in the North-West. Stanley’s greatest danger came in 1459, when Queen Margaret made a bid to recruit him directly in Cheshire, when the Yorkists were mobilising and sought assistance from the Stanleys. To add to his dilemma, his father died that year, leaving the 24 year old Thomas to weather the storm. At the Battle of Blore Heath that year, young Stanley played a game of brinkmanship and held his retinue and levies some miles from the encounter.

  • Both of These Portraits Are of William the Conqueror!
    The policies of William the Conqueror, king of England from 1066 until his death in 1087, may be largely responsible for eventually making Britain the most powerful nation in Europe. At the age of eight, William the Conqueror became duke of Normandy and later King of England. Violence plagued his early reign, but with the help of King Henry I of France, William managed to survive the early years. After the Battle of Hastings, in 1066, he was crowned king of England. He never spoke English and was illiterate, but he had more influence on the evolution of the English language then anyone before or since. William ruled England until his death, on September 9, 1087, in Rouen, France. Both of these portraits are of William the Conqueror! Born around 1028 in Falaise, Normandy, France, William was an illegitimate child of Robert I, duke of Normandy, who died in 1035 while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At only eight years of age, William became the new duke of Normandy. Violence and corruption-plagued his early reign, as the feudal barons fought for control of his fragile dukedom. A few of William's guards died and his teacher was murdered during a period of severe anarchy. With the help of King Henry I of France, William managed to survive the early years. King Henry I of France knighted William, still in his teens, in 1042. Taking a new stand on political events, William finally gained firm control of his duchy. By 1064 he had conquered and won two neighbouring provinces — Brittany and Maine.

    Of Palaces, Hunts, and Pork Roast: Deciphering the Last Chapters of the Capitulary of Quierzy (a. 877) Martin Gravel Politics depends on personal contacts.1 This is true in today’s world, and it was certainly true in early medieval states. Even in the Carolingian empire, the larg- est Western polity of the period, power depended on relations built on personal contacts.2 In an effort to nurture such necessary relationships, the sovereign moved with his court, within a network of important political “communication centres”;3 in the ninth century, the foremost among these were his palaces, along with certain cities and religious sanctuaries. And thus, in contemporaneous sources, the Latin term palatium often designates not merely a royal residence but the king’s entourage, through a metonymic displacement that shows the importance of palatial grounds in * I would like to thank my fellow panelists at the International Medieval Congress (Leeds, 2011): Stuart Airlie, Alexandra Beauchamp, and Aurélien Le Coq, as well as our session organizer Jens Schneider. This paper has greatly benefited from the good counsel of Jennifer R. Davis, Eduard Frunzeanu, Alban Gautier, Maxime L’Héritier, and Jonathan Wild. I am also indebted to Eric J. Goldberg, who was kind enough to read my draft and share insightful remarks. In the final stage, the precise reading by Florilegium’s anonymous referees has greatly improved this paper. 1 In this paper, the term politics will be used in accordance with Baker’s definition, as rephrased by Stofferahn: “politics, broadly construed, is the activity through which individuals and groups in any society articulate, negotiate, implement, and enforce the competing claims they make upon one another”; Stofferahn, “Resonance and Discord,” 9.

OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

  • Inauguration and Images of Kingship in England, France and the Empire C.1050-C.1250
    Christus Regnat: Inauguration and Images of Kingship in England, France and the Empire c.1050-c.1250 Johanna Mary Olivia Dale Submitted for examination for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History November 2013 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis challenges the traditional paradigm, which assumes that the period c.1050-c.1250 saw a move away from the ‘biblical’ or ‘liturgical’ kingship of the early Middle Ages towards ‘administrative’ or ‘law-centred’ interpretations of rulership. By taking an interdisciplinary and transnational approach, and by bringing together types of source material that have traditionally been studied in isolation, a continued flourishing of Christ-centred kingship in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries is exposed. In demonstrating that Christological understandings of royal power were not incompatible with bureaucratic development, the shared liturgically inspired vocabulary deployed by monarchs in the three realms is made manifest. The practice of monarchical inauguration forms the focal point of the thesis, which is structured around three different types of source material: liturgical texts, narrative accounts and charters. Rather than attempting to trace the development of this ritual, an approach that has been taken many times before, this thesis is concerned with how royal inauguration was understood by contemporaries. Key insights include the importance of considering queens in the construction of images of royalty, the continued significance of unction despite papal attempts to lower the status of royal anointing, and the depth of symbolism inherent in the act of coronation, which enables a reinterpretation of this part of the inauguration rite.

JENKINS AVTBOll OF VOLVMS OHS, 11.DIO&IAL IIISTO&Y OF PBILADELPBIA, rrc., rrc. 1899 PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, U.S. A. THE AUTHOR LONDON, ENGLAND HEADLEY BROTHERS, 14, BISHOPSGATE WITHOUT Copyright, 1899, by HowARD M. J ENXINs. / C • /(',' ,., ''./t! /it/- / ",/// '// ?1. ; I/ 1 /It ,-{~i/,//, ', / / ';////(/(, ·I ; •/./ I / . ,, ,,: ·/ PREFACE. ~HE occasion of this volume is substantially, per­ '-...J.... haps sufficiently, stated in the opening of the first chapter. To the explanation there given a few particulars may be added. There has always been, the author believes, a strong and very reasonable interest in the personality of William Penn, as the Founder of Penn­ sylvania, and as a worthy figure in the world's history, and some of this interest attaches to the line of those who have descended from him. The volume here prepared assumes simply to deal with this Family subject. It is not a history nor a biography. In one or two places, perhaps, the record has been permitted an extension which could not be entirely justified by the pian of the work, but excusing this by the special interest of the subject at those points, the author thinks the book has been fairly confined to its original and legitimate plan. Some of the family letters, very possibly, may be re­ garded as containing details too trivial for printing. The view adopted as to such matters has been that the account is thus made more precise and distinct, and is invested with human interest.
