    Convocations Called by Edward IV and Richard of Gloucester in 1483: Did They Ever Take Place?

    Convocations Called by Edward IV and Richard of Gloucester in 1483: Did They Ever Take Place? ANNETTE CARSON IN I 4 8 3 , THE YEAR OF THREE KINGS, a series of dramatic regime changes led to unforeseen disruptions in the normal machinery of English government. It was a year of many plans unfulfilled, beginning with those of Edward IV who was still concerned over unfinished hostilities with James III of Scotland, and had also made clear his intention to wreak revenge on the treacherous Louis XI of France. All this came to naught when Edward's life ended suddenly and unexpectedly on 9 April. His twelve-year-old son, Edward V, was scheduled to be crowned as his successor, with Edward IV's last living brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, appointed as lord protector. But within two months Richard had become king in his place, with young Edward deposed on the grounds that his father's marriage to Queen Elizabeth Woodville was both bigamous and secret, thus rendering their children illegitimate. Since this article will be looking closely at the events of this brief period, perhaps it will be useful to start with a very simplified chronology of early 1483. The ques- tions addressed concern two convocations, called by royal mandate in February and May respectively, about which some erroneous assumptions will be revealed.' January/February Edward IV's parliament. 3 February A convocation of the southern clergy is called by writ of Edward IV. 9 April Edward IV dies. 17-19 April Edward's funeral takes place, attended by leading clergy.

Dearne Valley University Centre (DVUC) will be a major Higher Education centre, with up to 1000 FTE students by 2013/14, for the deprived Dearne Valley at the geographical centre of Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham, boroughs with a combined population of 800,000 but with no university. 3. DVUC will widen participation by young people; offer adults a second chance to gain the HE qualifications that they and employers need; and contribute to regeneration of the Dearne Valley. 4. POLAR data from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) 1994- 2000, show that only 21.4% of those aged 18 in the Dearne Valley entered HE compared with 45.2% in England. And in Census 2001 only 9% of working age adults held degrees compared with 21% in England. The relative position in the Dearne has changed little since then.

We aim to give your child the best possible learning opportunities and work with you as partners in your child’s learning. Moving on to secondary school is an important and exciting step in the life of any child, along what we hope will be the Lifelong Learning Road. I hope that this booklet will provide a clear explanation of the procedures to be followed at this important point of transition.

If you need further advice, staff in both primary and secondary schools and of course, staff in Children and Young People’s Services will do all they can to help ensure a smooth transfer for your child in September 2018.
