Learning from the reports of the various Architectural Societies that these interesting o ccu r e d t memorials were rapidly decreasing in number, it to him hat a more extended list m ight be acceptable .

  • The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a Note on the Early Manorial History
    The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a note on the early manorial history . of the parish by E. A. GREENING LAMBORN ALTHOUGH representing one of the largest and most interesting collec­ ..r-\. tions of mediaeval coats to be found on any tomb in England, the arms on the Chaucer tomb at Ewelme have never been competently examined, so that the persons represented by them have been only partially, and sometimes incorrectly, identified. The most recent account of them, in the otherwise admirable notes on the church compiled by a late rector, is of little genealogical or heraldic value; and the account in the first volume of the Oxford Journal of Monumental Brasses is of no value at all : , Others to some faint meaning make pretence But Shadwell never deviates into sense.' its author's competence may be judged by his description of ' time-honoured Lancaster' as ' the Duke of Gaunt.' Sir Harris Nicolas, who wrote the Memoir prefixed to the Aldine Chaucer of 1845, realised that the solution of the problem was the construction of a pedigree; but the tree he drew up was quite inade­ quate for the purpose. The earliest record of the coats is in the notebook of Richard Lee, Port­ cullis, who sketched them for his Gatherings of Oxfordshire on his Visitation of the County in 1574. It is now in the Bodleian (Wood MS. D. 14), and a page of it, showing some of the shields on the Ewelme tombs, was reproduced in facsimile in the Harleian Society'S volume of the Visitations of Oxfordshire.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

    BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 613 part of the township, and ultimately owned several hun­ dred acres there, covering the south end of Beech hill and extending on both sides of the branch, including a large part of the intervale southwest of his cabin. "One of the first things he did was to plant an or­ chard, and some years later, when the trees were partly grown and the Indians began to be troublesome, looking out from his cabin he saw one of the savages cutting down an apple tree. He took down his gun, and that Indian never cut any more trees." "He used to lie in his cabin, or under a brush heap, with his gun, and watch for lurk­ ing Indians while his wife milked the cows." (Heaton tra­ dition.) His log cabin was burned by the Indians when the township was abandoned, in 1747, but he was one of the first to return, and he built the low farmhouse, still stand­ ing on the east side of the street, opposite the site of his log cabin-the second from the old Mount Pleasant tavern -and lived and died there. He was at one time a lieuten­ ant in the militia. It is a tradition in the family that that was the first framed house built in the township-doubt­ less now the oldest house in town-and it is still in pos­ session of his descendants ; but the large old chimney has been removed and two smaller ones substituted. His sons and other descendants afterwards built houses and lived along the same road, towards the branch; and some of the old barns still standing there were built by the elder Heaton.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

  • A MEDIEVAL BOOK and EARLY-MODERN LAW: BRACTON's AUTHORITY and APPLICATION in the COMMON LAW C.1550-1640 Ian Williams*, 
    Williams, A Medieval Book A MEDIEVAL BOOK AND EARLY-MODERN LAW: BRACTON'S AUTHORITY AND APPLICATION IN THE COMMON LAW c.1550-1640 Ian Williams*, The thirteenth-century book known as Bracton was first printed in 1569, fifteen years after Glanvill and three decades after Britton1. Despite its relatively late arrival into the list of printed common law books, of all the older common-law books it is Bracton which has tended to occupy the interest of historians. In no small part, this is due to Edward Coke’s later use of Bracton in disputes with James I2. However, much less interest is shown in Bracton’s use in early-modern England more generally, certainly compared to Bracton’s use as a source for thirteenth century law3. This article seeks to correct that imbalance by showing that Bracton was an important source for some early-modern common lawyers, particularly in certain fields. There were a number of impediments to the use of Bracton in the early-modern common law which may have inhibited its reception. The most recent work has suggested that Bracton’s popularity in early-modern England stemmed from Coke’s popularisation of the book by his references to it in his Reports4. In fact, some of the impediments to Bracton’s use were overcome, or overlooked, in the sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries. Bracton came to have an assured place in the common-law canon even before Coke’s use of the text, although it never became a standard reference work. * Lecturer, University College London; Faculty of Laws, Bentham House, Endsleigh Gardens, London WC1H 0EG, UK; [email protected].

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.
