THE RELEVANCE OF ST. THOMAS MORE RICHARD A. VACHON, S.J.* T HOMAS MORE WAS the contemporary man. I mean this not in the sense Winston Churchill had in mind when he wrote, "More stood forth as the defender of all that was finest in the medieval outlook." Rather, Thomas More was our man. He worked for a salary and met a payroll. Long before urban sprawl, More was a city man-Reynolds calls him the greatest of all Londoners. He was born in the city and lived in the heart of it for nearly 50 years. Then he became a suburbanite-opening up Chelsea. He invested in land, leasing farmland to tenant-farmers or holding it on speculation. He was a politician, probably the only canonized saint who ever ran for public office and won. And when Parliament elected him Speaker, he petitioned and received from the King immunity for the members of the House to express their opinions freely on the matters submitted to them.

  • And the Henrician Reformation
    Robert Radcliffe’s Translation of Joannes Ravisius Textor’s Dialogi (1530) and the Henrician Reformation ágnes juhász-ormsby Memorial University Joannes Ravisius Textor’s Dialogi aliquot festivissimi (1530) exerted considerable influence in England in the 1530s. The English Textor movement was spurred primarily by the dialogues’ effectiveness in advancing and popularizing specific religious changes promoted by the government as part of the unfolding Henrician Reformation. Around 1540, the master of Jesus College School in Cambridge, Robert Radcliffe, dedicated a collection of prose translations of Textor’s three dialogues—A Governor, or of the Church (Ecclesia), The Poor Man and Fortune (Pauper et fortuna), and Death and the Goer by the Way (Mors et viator)—to Henry VIII. Radcliffe’s translations, especially the politically charged A Governor, demonstrate that not only his strategically selected source texts but also his method of translation helped him position himself in influential court circles and shape his image as a humanist scholar, schoolmaster, and translator.1 Les Dialogi aliquot festivissimi (1530) de Joannes Ravisius Textor ont exercé une influence importante en Angleterre pendant les années 1530. Le succès du mouvement anglais de Textor est principalement dû à l’efficacité avec laquelle les dialogues mettent de l’avant et popularisent des transformations religieuses spécifiques que promouvait le gouvernement dans le contexte du déploiement de la Réforme d’Henri VIII. Autour de 1540, le maître du Jesus College de Cambridge, Robert Radcliffe, a dédié une collection de traduction en prose des trois dialogues de Textor — A Governor, or of the Church (Ecclesia), The Poor Man and Fortune (Pauper et fortuna), et Death and the Goer by the Way (Mors et viator) — à Henri VIII.

Adding Dimension to an Elusive Character The figure of Anne Boleyn is one that looms large in history, controversial in her time and today. The second wife of King Henry VIII, she is most well-known for precipitating his break with the Catholic Church in order to marry her. Despite the tremendous efforts King Henry went to in order to marry Anne, a mere three years into their marriage, he sentenced her to death and immediately married another woman. Popular representations of her continue to exist, though most Anne Boleyns in modern depictions are figments of a cultural imagination.1 What is most telling about the way Anne is seen is not that there are so many opinions, but that throughout over 400 years of study, she remains an elusive character to pin down.

  • The Opening of the Atlantic World: England's
    THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII By LYDIA TOWNS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Imre Demhardt, Supervising Professor John Garrigus Kathryne Beebe Alan Gallay ABSTRACT THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII Lydia Towns, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Imre Demhardt This dissertation explores the birth of the English Atlantic by looking at English activities and discussions of the Atlantic world from roughly 1481-1560. Rather than being disinterested in exploration during the reign of Henry VIII, this dissertation proves that the English were aware of what was happening in the Atlantic world through the transnational flow of information, imagined the potentials of the New World for both trade and colonization, and actively participated in the opening of transatlantic trade through transnational networks. To do this, the entirety of the Atlantic, all four continents, are considered and the English activity there analyzed. This dissertation uses a variety of methods, examining cartographic and literary interpretations and representations of the New World, familial ties, merchant networks, voyages of exploration and political and diplomatic material to explore my subject across the social strata of England, giving equal weight to common merchants’ and scholars’ perceptions of the Atlantic as I do to Henry VIII’s court. Through these varied methods, this dissertation proves that the creation of the British Atlantic was not state sponsored, like the Spanish Atlantic, but a transnational space inhabited and expanded by merchants, adventurers and the scholars who created imagined spaces for the English.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

  • Hans Holbein at the Court of Henry VIII
    Holbein at the Court of Henry VIII • The talk is about Holbein’s life in England and the well known personalities at Henry VIII’s court that he painted. • Figures such as Thomas Wolsey (no portrait by Holbein), Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Richard Rich (drawing), and Thomas Cranmer (not by Holbein) figured prominently in Henry's administration. • I discuss Holbein’s style by comparing his drawings with his paintings. • And, finally, I look at the many puzzles presented by The Ambassadors. Notes The Tudors (1485 -1603) in brief: • Henry VII 1485 – 1509, Henry Richmond, descendent of John of Gaunt, defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field in 1485. Married Elizabeth of York uniting the two houses of York (white) and Lancaster (red) as symbolised in the white and red rose he adopted. He was a skilful politician but he is often described as avaricious although this did mean he left a lot in the treasury for his son to spend. • Henry VIII 1509 – 1547, he married Catherine of Aragon (his brother’s widow and mother of Mary) but Henry annulled the marriage to marry Anne Boleyn (mother Elizabeth) who he beheaded for alleged adultery. He declared himself head of the Catholic Church and married Jane Seymour who died after giving birth to Edward. He then married Anne of Cleves but the marriage was annulled and she survived Henry the longest. He then married Catherine Howard who he beheaded for adultery and finally Catherine Parr (her third husband) who outlived him and married Thomas Seymour (who grew up in Wulfhall) whose brother was Edward Seymour, Lord Protector of England during the first two years of Edward VI’s reign.
