Welcome DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome to Chicago’s home for Shakespeare. Today’s presentation marks the return of two of our seminal international partners: the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of Scotland. Their collaboration on Dunsinane has created a tour-de-force, penned by modern-day Scottish playwright David Greig. By boldly imaging the complicated power struggle following the demise of King Macbeth, Greig provokes a timely dialog on the complexities of nation- building following an invasion of epic proportion. The original play is one of the greatest tragedies ever written. To have it followed 400 years later by an equally complicated, nuanced tale is theatrically thrilling. Through our World’s Stage Series, we are honored to serve as a cultural ambassador by importing leading international companies like the RSC and National Theatre of Scotland to Chicago. In the spirit of cultural exchange, we are also increasingly exporting our own work to the world.

  • Some Historical & Genealogical Notes on the Family of Provost David
    Some Historical & Genealogical Notes on the Family of Provost David Staig (of Dumfries) and his wife Lilias Stewart (of Shambellie) Notes for the sources of information contained in this paper appear at the end. Abbreviations used: b. – Born c. - Circa m. – Married d. – Died Bart. – Baronet LDS – Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (genealogical record) Rev. – Reverend C.B. – Companion of the Order of the Bath KCB – Knight Commander of the Bath KCSI – Knight Commander of the Star of India Above: The record of Lilias Stewart’s birth. The Stewarts of Shambellie The following history of the Stewarts of Shambellie (italicised) is from the Scottish Archive Network. The Stewarts of Shambellie descend from Alexander Stewart (d.1283), 4th Steward of Scotland, who was granted the barony of Garlies by King Alexander III (1249-1286). The family have a complicated descent thereafter, the Shambellie branch descending from the Stewarts of Dalswinton and Garlies. The Stewarts of Shambellie were cadets of the Stewarts of Minto, who themselves were cadets of the Stewarts of Garlies, the Earls of Galloway. Sir Thomas Stewart of Minto (d.1500) had various children, including Archibald Stewart who obtained a tack of the lands of Fintalloch etc in c.1534. His younger son, Archibald Stewart of Culgruff and Fintalloch, (died c.1596), had at least four sons. His eldest, Richard Stewart, had a grand-daughter Susanne who in 1625 married John Stewart, the grandson of Archibald Stewart's second son, John Stewart of Auchinleck (died c.1605). The family's connection with New Abbey (Kirkcudbrightshire) seems to date from the tenure of the last abbot of Sweetheart Abbey, Gilbert Broun, who granted a portion of the abbey's lands there to John Stewart of Auchinleck in 1576.

  • Sir John Babington, 16Th Henry VII., When the Manor Passed to His Sister, and Through Her Daughter to Lord Sheffield
    A history of the Babingtons in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in the Fifteenth Century Compiled by Craig Porter The Dogs of War Contents Introduction The growth of the Babingtons Affiliation in the Wars of the Roses Selected Babingtons Babington Locations Glossary References 1/17 Introduction The Babingtons are supposed to have taken their name from a place called Babington in Northumberland, where they had resided from the time of the Conquest. At what date they removed from their northern abode to Nottinghamshire we cannot say, but there was a John Babington residing at East Bridgford in the time of Richard II. One of the sons of this Sir John was Sir William Babington of Chilwell, who presided for thirteen years as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and on his death, in 1455, was buried at Lenton Priory. The family continued at Chilwell until the death of Sir John Babington, 16th Henry VII., when the manor passed to his sister, and through her daughter to Lord Sheffield. Also descended from the first John Babington of East Bridgford, who had five sons, were the Babingtons of Dethick. Two John Babingtons fought at Bosworth Field on the 22nd August 1485 in the “Yorkist” army of King Richard III – one from Chilwell and one from Dethick. The latter was slain by Sir James Blount who was actually related to the former by marriage. It has been supposed that the killing was deliberate and a case of mistaken identity. The growth of the Babingtons The influence and wealth of the Babingtons accumulated steadily. The vagaries of documentary survival may be in part responsible, but there would seem to be more than mere coincidence in the fact that the families who showed interest and initiative in the increasingly prosperous areas of stock farming and lead production, most notably the Vernons, Foljambes and Babingtons, were also the major purchasers on the Derby land market.

SKILLINGTON ARCHITECTURAL NOTES ON THE CHURCH OF ALL SAINTS, COSSINGTON BY ANTHONY HERBERT, A.R.I.B.A. Medieval Cossington By S. H. Skillington CHAPTER I COSSINGTON, the name of which has from time immemorial beeu pronounced Cussington by its inhabitants and their neighbours, is a pleasant, homely village, in the hundred of East Goscote, about six miles north of Leicester and a similar distance south­ east of Loughborough. It stands midway between the main road from Leicester to Loughborough and the stretch of the old Roman Fosse that is known locally as the Six Hills Road. The rivers Wreake and Soar flow through the parish, which is adjoined by those of Rothley, Sileby, Seagrave, Ratcliffe-on-the-Wreake, Syston and Wanlip. Sileby is about a mile north of Cossington, and Barrow-on-Soar is some two miles further on towards Lough- borough. It is desirable to bear in mind the relative positions of Cossington and Barrow. Short accounts of Cossington are given in Curtis's Topo­ graphical History of Leicestershire, which was published in 1831, and in Kelly's Directory of Leicestershire and Rutland for 1932. Curtis says that, when he was writing, there were in the parochial area thirteen hundred acres of land, two hundred and thirty-seven inhabitants and fifty-nine houses. The principal landed pro­ prietors were Thomas Babington, esquire, who was lord of the manor, and Thomas Heap, esquire.

  • Microfilms and Microfiches at the Family History Center, Chimacum
    “Extended” Microfilms and Microfiches at the Family History Center, Chimacum The following is a list of microfilms (films) and fiches at the Family History Center in Chimacum. In preparing this list, we have compared the film number against the on-line catalog at FamilySearch.org. A few words about how to use this list: 1. There may be more than one item on a roll of microfilm, and the label on the box may not match the description of the item you wish to review. Therefore, go by film number and then check the film completely for the information you want – it may be, for instance, item 12 on the roll. 2. Film numbers under 6000000 are microfilms; above that number are microfiche. 3. The Title below does not provide a complete description. You may want to check the on-line catalog before going to the FHC to get a more complete description of the records. 4. Some of the permanent microfilms are not filed in the “permanent” drawers – they are filed in the current film drawer under the name of the person who ordered the film. So if you can‟t find a film, ask. 5. In addition to the fiches listed below, there are many more filed by location. Be sure to look those over if you haven‟t already done so.
