Images of Elizabeth I by Contrasting These Two Pictures
Lecture (2 hours with a 15 minute break) • When Elizabeth came to the throne in 1558 she was besieged by problems. The had been terrible harvests in the previous two years and rampant inflation partly caused by Henry VIII’s reducing the silver content of coins. In the previous eleven years the country had veered from extreme Protestantism to extreme Catholicism and in 1558 the country had lost Calais, its last remnant of French territory. In addition to all this Elizabeth was a woman and it was assumed she would soon marry with the danger of the country being run by a foreigner for their own country’s interests. • Yet, by the end of her reign, England was a world power. Pope Sixtus V could not understand it: "She is only a woman, only mistress of half an island, and yet she makes herself feared by Spain, by France, by all". • How did she do it? She was intelligent, shrewd, chose her advisers well and became popular by creating and reinforcing powerful images of herself. This talk explores those images and we start by comparing two. Notes (Wikipedia and other sites & books) • Education. The nobility had a different education from us, Lady Elizabeth for example, was taught grammar, theology, history, rhetoric, logic, philosophy, arithmetic, literature, geometry, music and above all languages. By the age of eleven Elizabeth was able to speak fluently in six languages - French, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Welsh and of course English. • Many of her closest advisors were similarly schooled and Elizabethans loved puzzles, word play, and decoding obscure references.

Anna of Denmark and the Politics of Religious Identity in Jacobean Scotland and England, C.1592-1619
Anna of Denmark and the Politics of Religious Identity in Jacobean Scotland and England, c.1592-1619 Jemma Field Acknowledgement THE CRUX of this research has been with me for several years, has undergone countless iterations, and would never have come to publication without the invaluable support, questions, and suggestions of Associate Professor Erin Griffey (Auckland), Professor Steve Murdoch (St Andrews), and Professor Emeritus R. Malcolm Smuts (Massachusetts Boston), all of whom believed that the established narrative warranted critical engagement. I am further grateful to Steve Murdoch, together with Dr Peter Maxwell-Stuart (St Andrews), for assistance with the translation of Danish, German, and Latin material beyond my own proficiency, although I take full responsibility for any errors herein. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions [706198]. The Lutheran Anna of Denmark (1574–1619) was one of those exceptionally well-placed early modern women. A member of the dynastic houses of Oldenburg and Stuart, she was daughter, sister, wife, and mother of kings, and she also retained close connections to a number of other royal and ducal houses in Europe. Her ancestral dynastic links, coupled with the marriages of her siblings, extended her kinship network beyond her natal kingdom of Denmark-Norway and its territories of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, and Dithmarschen, to include Brandenburg, Braunschweig- Lüneburg, Dresden, Holstein-Gottorf, Mecklenburg-Güstrow, and Electoral Saxony. With her marriage to King James VI (1566–1625) in 1589, Anna of Denmark moved to Scotland, and around 1592, or perhaps 1600, she converted to Catholicism.

If all goes well, we will attend the wreath laying ceremonies of the Royal Stuart Society at King Charles's statue at the head of Whitehall, followed by the SKCM/UK Devotions and Mass at the Banqueting Hall, Whitehall, thence in the afternoon to St. George's Windsor, where another wreath will be laid by the RRS atop the marker of St. Charles's tomb. Saturday the Royal Martyr Church Union will have a Solemn High Mass at the church of St. Mary le Strand, a marvelous gem of Renaissance architecture, followed by a pub luncheon for members and friends of the Union. We will keep you in our prayers and hope you will do the same for us at whatever observance you may attend. I have already heard good things about the SKCM-AR Annual Mass and Luncheon this past weekend, at which the Society particularly honored Mark A. Wuonola, Ph.D., Ben., OL for his 25 years of service to the Society as editor of publications, not least the faithful production of the SKCM News.

2.0 the Landscape Structure
2.0 THE LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE The Thames Landscape Strategy Review 3 9 2.0 THE LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE Approach 2.1 In order to understand the way the landscape works, we have looked at the structure from different angles, seeing how each aspect interacts with others. The historical patterns of settlement, determined by geology, climate and social and economic factors, set the base for the contemporary city. We need to grasp how and why we have the city we have inherited before we can really work with its patterns for the future. And we also need to be aware of the myths and memories evoked by our buildings, parks and place names, conjuring up more than the immediate visual impact. 2.2 This chapter therefore fi rst describes the evolution of this part of London and North Surrey around the Thames, then analyses its infl uence on the present urban landscape and the main riverside issues we are facing. The river between Hampton and Kew is remarkable for the amount of open space defi ning and complementing the urban environment. This ‘natural’ landscape, the result of centuries of careful management, creates an unparalleled setting for the built environment, a continuing inspiration for those living along the river and a series of connected habitats for nature conservation. We look at how the natural landscape interacts with the urban landscape. 2.3 At the same time we are conscious that the contemporary vitality of the landscape is a crucial part of the scene. The activity of those who live, work and relax along the river is an essential element in the landscape.
