'The Political Career of Edward Sackville, Fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)'
'THE POLITICAL CAREER OF EDWARD SACKVILLE, FOURTH EARL OF DORSET (1590-1652)' BY DAVID LAWRENCE SMITH SELWYN COLLEGE A Dissertation submitted in the Faculty of History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Michae1mas Term 1989 ABSTRACT Title: 'The Poli tical Career of Edward Sackvi1le, fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)' Author: David Lawrence Smith, Selwyn College This dissertation seeks to illuminate early Stuart political history by a study of one important public figure. The fourth Earl of Dorset was a member of Charles I's Privy Council, Lord Chamberlain to Queen Henrietta Maria, and Lord Lieutenant of Sussex and Middlesex. He attended all the Parliaments of the 1620's, and sat in the Short and Long Parliaments. He was active in Court and Council throughout the 1630's, and sided with the King in the Civil War. He consistently advocated harmony and reconciliation in a period of growing polarisation. This study investigates Dorset's perception of early seventeenth century political developments, his response to them, and the reasons why he and other moderates failed to prevent civil war. It thus contributes to current debates both on the early modern peerage, and on the origins and nature of the English Civil War. The first chapter looks at Dorset's life and career up to the age of thirty. In Chapter Two a discussion of his rapid rise to political prominence during the 1620's explores the reasons for his success and the nature of his motivation. Chapter Three investigates Dorset's activities as a Privy Councillor and as the Queen's Lord Chamberlain in the 1630's.

PLATT FAMILY RECORDS CENTER NOTES Volume 3.1 compiled by Lyman D. Platt, Ph.D. Platt Family Records Center The Redwoods, New Harmony, Utah 2008 2 The Platt Family Records Center Copyright © 2008 The Lyman D. Platt Family Protection Trust All Rights Reserved Manufactured in the U.S.A. 3 INTRODUCTION Over many years the collections that comprise the Platt Family Records Center (PFRC) have been gathered from a diversity of sources and locations. These have been cataloged as they have been received, or in the order that they were initially organized. It was not felt in preparing this final version that a re-cataloging was necessary due to the versatility of the indexing systems used. There are twelve divisions to the PFRC: 1) Documents; 2) Letters; 3) Notes; 4) Family Histories; 5) Journals & Diaries; 6) Manuscripts; 7) Photographs; 8) Maps; 9) Books; 10) Genealogies; 11) Bibliography; and 12) Indexes. The collection that follows - Notes - is divided into several volumes, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc. These notes do not contain all of the material that I have collected, but they are a compilation of much of it. Some information went directly into histories, family group records, pedigree charts and short biographies. Copies of these volumes have been given to: 1) Special Collections, Marriott Library, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah; 2) The Church Historical Library, Salt Lake City, Utah; 3) Special Collections, Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah; and 4) The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum, Salt Lake City, Utah. Additional copies have been given to each of my siblings and to some of our children.

Appendix 3.6
Appendix 3.6 Clergy listed in Exhibit Books, 1717-1810 (AN/EX) Exhibit Books ('Liber Exhibitorum') recorded details about the careers of the clergy within the Archdeaconry. Each clergyman was obliged to exhibit his ordination, institution and induction papers once in each Archdeacon's incumbency. A number of exhibits were usually taken at each spring Visitation. Where a clergyman is named and no details given about ordination, it is probable that he has appeared at a previous visitation, and as such, the details did not need to be repeated. It may, therefore, be necessary to look at several Exhibit Books to obtain this information. Some clergymen, particularly curates, will appear more than once, since their licences were regularly renewed. The Exhibit Books record the dates and places of the clergyman's admittance as deacon and priest, and details about his institution to his current benefice. The books are arranged chronologically by date of Visitation, and within that, by place. The name of the officiant is also recorded (as given) and takes the form of the bishop or archbishop’s first name and diocese/province (e.g. Richard Lincoln = Richard Reynolds, Bishop of Lincoln, 1723-1744; York or Ebor represents the Archbishop of York). For a list of Britain’s senior clergy, see E.B. Fryde, D.E. Greenway, S. Porter and I. Roy (eds), A Handbook of British Chronology (3rd edition, London, 1986). These tables provide abstracts of the contents of the following documents: AN/EX 197: Exhibit Book for 1717, 1727, and 1730-1748 AN/EX 198/1: Exhibit

Religious Violence in the English Civil War, 1642-1646
“God is pleased to be called a man of Warre”: Religious Violence in the English Civil War, 1642-1646 Micheline Jessica Astley-Boden BA (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History, Philosophy, Religion, and Classics Abstract In the seventeenth century, daily lives were shaped by religious observance; the Bible was the means by which the world was understood, and Biblical language was one of the most comprehensive tools of expression. However, religious orthodoxy was a hotly contested issue that pervaded political discourse and fired loyalties at all levels of society. This thesis therefore analyses the extent to which religious convictions and difference permeated the civil war armies and continued to drive soldiers’ actions throughout the First Civil War (1642-1646). Dedication to religious observance safeguarded the Christian soldiers’ immortal souls, but each side’s religiosity, and perception of the world, resulted in the use of religious doctrine to explain difference and validate violence against ‘God’s enemies’. Although providing evidence for the role of religion in both the Parliamentarian and Royalist armies, this thesis, at times, places emphasis on the Royalists due to their relative historiographical underrepresentation. While the Parliamentarian army has been viewed as deeply religious – ‘godly’ – there is evidence that the Royalist side, too, structured army life around divine services. It is also apparent that the high command on both sides undertook a determined campaign to disseminate the language of holy war to their troops. These ideas diffused through the civil war armies. They were reflected by the soldiers – those in high positions of power to those among the lower ranks – on military banners and in letters, diaries, and journals.

U DDKE Kirk Ella Estate Papers 1586 - 1897 (Property of Joseph Sykes)
Hull History Centre: Kirk Ella Estate Papers (Property of Joseph Sykes) U DDKE Kirk Ella Estate Papers 1586 - 1897 (Property of Joseph Sykes) Historical Background: This collection gives evidence of the descent of the manor of West Ella and the estates of Kirk Ella from the seventeenth century to the ownership of Joseph Sykes in 1783. Until 1656 the manor and estate were owned by John Anlaby who then sold them to Richard Robinson (U DDKE/8/8, 13) for circa £700. It was inherited by his son Daniel Robinson, master mariner, and then released from the claim of Robert Bloome of London in 1681 (U DDKE/8/143, 161) and the dower of his mother in 1682 (U DDKE/8/161) to John Heslewood (U DDKE/8/24-27), by which time it was worth £100 more. In 1688 it was granted to James Bradshaw (U DDKE/8/31) and around 1721 it was inherited by his son Ellerker Bradshaw. On his death in 1742 it passed by the tail male to Eaton Mainwaring, who assumed the name Ellerker (see U DDKE/8/49) and then in 1773 it was inherited by his son, Roger Mainwaring Ellerker (see U DDKE/8/47 and U DDKE/17/2). The entail was then severed and when he died in 1775 the manor and estates passed to his four sisters who sold to Joseph Sykes in 1783 for £5400 (U DDKE/8/61). The Sykes family was originally from Sykes Dyke, Cumberland, until they settled in Leeds as clothier merchants. Daniel Sykes (1632-1697), a junior member of the family, set up trading in Hull in the early seventeenth century and his oldest surviving son, Richard Sykes (1678- 1726), married Mary, heiress of Mark Kirkby, by which means he came into the core of what became the Sledmere estates in the next generation when his eldest son, also Richard Sykes (b.

Ull History Centre: Records of John Good & Sons
Hull History Centre: Records of John Good & Sons U DGO Records of John Good & Sons Shipping Ltd 1741-1990s Historical Background: John Good was born in Scarborough in 1801 and was a seafarer for many years before settling in Hull with his family in 1833. Here he set up in business as a ship chandler in premises in Salthouse Lane. He first came into contact with the Society of Friends in the late 1820s and was admitted into membership in Hull in 1834. In 1839 the Good family moved to 19 High Street and the business grew in connection with the trade between Hull and the Baltic and Scandinavian countries. John began to purchase shares in a number of vessels, eventually purchasing his own schooner, the Bothnia. When he retired in 1864, he left a successful business to his sons Joseph and Thomas (neither of whom were Quakers). He died in 1876. The brothers joined with Francis and James Reckitt in 1870 to form a steamship company, known as Good Brothers & Co. They acted as agents for a number of Finnish shipowners (later united as the Finland Steamship Company) who traded between Finland and ports along England's north eastern coast. In 1908 the company was incorporated under the name of John Good & Sons Ltd.; members of the Good family were still involved as company directors in the late 1980s. Other operations undertaken by the firm included the shipment of coal, liner agency work, tanker handling and warehousing. The firm is still in existence under the name John Good & Sons (Shipping) Ltd.
