  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League
    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.

  • Acton Burnell Castle in Shropshire, England
    Travel Tuesday: Acton Burnell Castle in Shropshire, England Acton Burnell Castle-family picture, taken c1990. The above picture hung in the home of my grandparents (my grandfather was the the grandson of Nannie M. Burnell) for as long as I remember. They said it was Burnell Castle, and the home of our ancestors in England. It was always on my list of places to travel to, and learn more about. The advent of the internet has helped us to learn more about the castle, and trace our family lines back further than could have been previously imagined (at least, by me). I still have not been able to travel to the castle ruins, but maybe one of these days. Acton Burnell Castle, Shropshire, England. Wikipedia, by A. R. Yeo (MortimerCat). Creative Commons License 2.5. The ‘castle’ at Acton Burnell, a small town in Shropshire, England, began in 1284 as a manor house built by Robert Burnell, friend and Lord Chancellor to King Edward I. Burnell was also Bishop of Bath and Wells, and the house would have been large enough to house Edward I and his retinue, advisers, and soldiers. The red sandstone home was crenellated (the top rectangles with open areas for shooting arrows added) and fortified, both of which required a royal license, showing that the king favored and trusted Robert Burnell. The house had square towers at the corners, but with many windows, it was not really built for war, despite the crenellations. The house passed down to younger generations of the Burnell family, deteriorating with the centuries, and then passed out of the family through a marriage.

  • 1 1 from Letters to Loyalty: Aline La Despenser And
    1 1 From Letters to Loyalty: Aline la Despenser and the Meaning(s) of a Noblewoman’s Correspondence in Thirteenth-Century England Kathleen Neal Sometime between the summer of 1273, and early August 1274, the Countess of Norfolk, Aline la Despenser, sent a letter to the Chancellor of England.1 This was, in many ways, a completely unremarkable letter concerning a rather banal administrative matter; hardly the place one might naturally look for evidence of intersections between emotion and governance. Yet, as I argue in this chapter, Aline’s letter was in fact a finely tuned articulation of affective persuasion. The beauty of its design lay in a delicate weaving between observing the expectations shaping letters of governance, and transgressing them in targeted and gendered ways which become clear when the letter is read against its particular context. Through simultaneous reproduction and disordering of the rules of letter-writing, it sought to evoke a range of positive responses in one person – the chancellor to whom it was addressed – in ways uniquely reflective of the relationship between him and its sender, the countess. Close reading of Aline’s letter thus reveals how all senders of letters to royal officers might manipulate affective rhetoric to achieve their political, legal, or fiscal aims: it is a case study of how emotion and governance regularly interacted in medieval England. Further, it illuminates the circumstances in which women could enter epistolary exchange of this kind, and the gendered rhetorical strategies they might use when the opportunity to do so arose. The letter is an especially rich source for interrogating how women accessed this particular 2 discourse of authority, and how they adopted and adapted expected, masculine forms of rhetorical presentation to political ends.

November 14, 2012 iii Abstract THE ROLE OF RITUAL AND CEREMONIAL IN THE REIGN OF EDWARD I Marla Lynn Morris, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012 Supervising Professor: Sarah Davis-Secord Often it is said that no one is better at pomp and pageantry than the British monarchy, and indeed, this has been the case at least since the time when medieval kings ruled England. One monarch in particular stands out as having successfully utilized royal ritual and ceremonial to great political, military and personal gain. Edward I is widely considered one of England’s most dynamic, respected and successful monarchs. Called a “precedent seeker,”1 the king’s reign was “. one of the most pivotal in the whole of British history, a moment when the destinies of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland were decided.”2 Edward summoned the biggest armies and convened the largest parliaments seen in England during the entire span of the Middle Ages.

  • St John Hope, W H, the Seals of the Bishops of Bath and Wells, Part II
    She af Ihe iishojjs of lath and lateUs. BY W. H. ST. JOHN HOPE, M.A., Assistant Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries. HAVE been asked by Canon Cburcb to lay before yon I this evening some account of the seals of the bishops of Bath and Wells. Before doing so, it will perhaps be as well if I indicate briefly the principal characteristics of episcopal seals generally^ more especially as there is no text book on the subject of seal® to which to refer you. The seals of bishops possess one especial value that no other class of seals possesses-—except the royal seals—in that they are practically dated examples, the engraving of the seal being coincident with the known date of the bishop’s election or consecration. A long series of episcopal seals forms, there- fore, a valuable comparative scale by which the approximate date of almost any medieval seal may be fixed. Nor is this all ; the series also furnishes us with a chronological record of the progress of art in seals, and of the gradual evolution and development of the most elaborate seals from perfectly simple forms. That this is a very important matter is evident when we find, as we do, that the seals represent the best art of each period. Looking at the great value of episcopal seals, it is very desirable that a more complete series should be formed than : 30 Papers, is at present attainable. From the Xorman Conquest to the Reformation, there ought to be, if we add together the number of bishops consecrated and translated—for translation always entailed the engraving of a new seal—over 700 episcopal seals, without including counter-seals, secreta, and others.

  • Family, Followers and Friends: the Socio-Political Dynamics of the Anglo-Norman Aristocracy, 1100-1204
    FAMILY, FOLLOWERS AND FRIENDS: THE SOCIO-POLITICAL DYNAMICS OF THE ANGLO-NORMAN ARISTOCRACY, 1100-1204 John P. Meddings EN., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD The University of Leeds School of History September 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ii ABSTRACT FAMILY, FOLLOWERS AND FRIENDS: THE SOCIO-POLITICAL DYNAMICS OF THE ANGLO-NORMAN ARISTOCRACY, 1100-1204 Three groups are examined: the family, followers and friends. The structure, functions and tensions of these groups are described and their dynamics analysed in the fields of decision making and conflict resolution. The approach offers a dialectic between Latin and French sources, historical and literary, and social science theories. This opens up new avenues for analysis and allows a holistic description of medieval politics and society. The family comprised parents and their children. Within this small unit affection was very strong; outside, it quickly declined. Although uncles and nephews had political links there was considerably less emotional attachment between them than between parent-child and sibling relationships. Three types of follower are examined: household retainers, enfeoffed tenants and 'neighbours'. Household knights had the strongest emotional bonds to their lord and were seen as the most loyal. Tenants who performed homage were called `men'; 'vassal' is shown to mean 'good follower'. An aristocrat exercised considerable control within his lands and beyond them he maintained some power. In these areas people may have obeyed his will without having any direct link with him.

    This document has been created by the History Data Service and is based on information supplied by the depositor SN:5694 - Electronic Edition of Domesday Book: Translation, Databases and Scholarly Commentary, 1086 Bibliography This is not a reading list for Domesday Book and is in no way intended to supplant Bates, A Bibliography of Domesday Book (1986), which can be supplemented by Hallam, 'Some Current Domesday Research Trends and Recent Publications', in Hallam and Bates, Domesday Book, pp. 191-198. The present list contains fuller details of books and articles cited in the notes where they have been given only short titles. This is essentially a working bibliography for those re-editing the Phillimore printed edition of Domesday Book and some books and articles are included relating to counties whose revision has yet to be published. The whole bibliography will receive a full revision, when completed. It has been the policy of this revision to expand all abbreviations (so, for example, UVL is now 'ultra-violet lamp'). The only remaining abbreviation of a book-title is VCH (Victoria County History).
