Rodney was previously a member of a re-enactment group and had agreed to take us through the (difficult) process of making chainmail. I know that I, for one, managed to squash my finger in the pliers more than once, and instead of a nice flat strip of mail I produced a coaster-like circle! I believe full honours for the day go to Jo-Ann, who seemed to be the most successful student. Australasian Convention – Melbourne, 8-10 August 2019 Jenny, Carole and I attended this year’s Convention in Melbourne. We flew out at stupid o’clock on Thursday morning, and hired a car in Melbourne to drive the hour to Doncaster East. While the event itself was great, Melbourne was experiencing an (Ant)Arctic blast weather-wise, and the hotel was very cold. A full review by Jenny can be found in the upcoming Ricardian West Journal for 2019. The next Convention is to be hosted by the South Australia branch at the Rydges Hotel, Adelaide, the weekend of 21 & 22 August, 2021. York Medieval Fayre – 29 September 2019 This year we managed to secure a spot at the York Medieval Fayre! Carole and I drove to York on Saturday after our September meeting, and met Terry first thing in the morning on Sunday 28th to set up our new gazebo and display our “wares”. Thank you also to Jenny (and Rob), Pat, Anita and Hugh who travelled to York for the day. A day-long event is made much ii easier when there is a group of us to share the duties. I had previously printed 33 new reading lists, and a quick count at the end of the day showed we only had 2 left! That is a good bit of advertising for Richard III and the Society! NSW Mini Conference – Albury, 8-10 November 2018 Carole and I attended the NSW Mini Conference in Albury last November. Starting with afternoon tea on Thursday afternoon, and finishing with a day tour of the surrounding countryside on Saturday, the main event took place on Friday, with a banquet in the evening. A full review of the event can be found in the Ricardian West Journal for 2018. Facebook Page As of 25th October 2019 our Facebook page has 385 followers.

Louise Carson October 2019 v RESEARCH PAPERS THE HERBERT FAMILY IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY By Anita Bentley presented to the Richard III Society of WA on 23 February 2019 The origins of the Herbert family name goes back to Norman times with an Anglo Norman nobleman Herbert of Winchester, or as he was sometimes called, Herbert the Chamberlain. He held the office of Chamberlain of the Winchester treasury during the reign of King William II of England, and the office of Chancellor and Treasurer under King Henry 1. Herbert the Chamberlain, in 1198, was accused of attempting to assassinate King Henry I and was punished by being blinded and castrated — which was considered mild instead of “the hanging he deserved” (Abbot Suger of St Denis). Herbert was the father of Herbert, who became chamberlain to King David I of Scotland in 1156, and William, who later became Archbishop of Canterbury. The Herbert family that we associate with the fortunes of the York and Lancastrian dynasties didn’t take the name Herbert until the early fifteenth century when William and Richard from the Welsh family of William ap Thomas of Raglan Castle anglicised their name. It is thought they took this measure because their lack of a surname may have caused problems and inconvenience when playing their part in English affairs from the Welsh Marches. Their choice of the surname Herbert appears to have come from the ancestry of Herbert the Chamberlain. William and Richard Herbert, the sons of William ap Thomas, had as their grandfather Dafydd Gam ap Llyewelyn ap Hywel, (1380-25/10/1415). You will note the day of his death as the day of the Battle of Agincourt. Dafydd was one of Henry V’s bodyguards at Agincourt and reportedly defended and saved the King’s life when he was being attacked in the latter stages of the battle. He was knighted posthumously on the Figure 0-1 Raglan Castle. battlefield. It is also interesting to note the surname Gam. Apparently Dafydd cadw.gov.wales Gam was lame and from that came the saying ‘a Gammy leg’. Dafydd’s family is described as a striking example of a native Welsh family that flourished under the rule of an aristocratic English family. Dafydd himself was previously in the service of John of Gaunt. Dafydd and his brothers were the king’s esquires and were prominent supporters of Henry Bolingbroke in south-east Wales as he gathered support for his overthrow of Richard II in1399. Daffyd’s son in law was William ap Thomas of Raglan Castle, who had married his daughter Gwladys as his second wife. Gwladys served as maid of honour to both of Henry 1 IV’s wives, Mary and Joanna. William’s first wife was Elizabeth Berkeley, and through her, William gained Raglan Castle. When she died in 1420 William continued to live in the castle as a tenant of his stepson, James Berkeley. However in 1432 William purchased the castle outright.

  • A Brief History of Waltham Cross
    History of Waltham Cross Eleanor Monument The resting place of Queen Eleanor during her funeral procession was known as Waltham and the location was already known to Edward l as he, like former kings, hunted in Waltham Forest. The abbey was built 350 years earlier, during the reign of King Harold. When Edward died at Burgh on The Sands in Cumbria his body was kept at the Abbey for five weeks before its interment at Westminster Abbey in London. It is believed that the location chosen for the monument was a hamlet a mile away from Waltham. It was a main road at a crossroad point where travellers would be able to view it from several directions. In 1720, Stamford Vicar William Stukeley, made a drawing of the monument at Waltham Cross and presented it to the newly founded Society of Antiquaries. They undertook works to protect it from the increasing traffic. In 1795, Sir George Prescott tried to have it moved to Theobalds Park, but failed after official intervention. The first major restoration took place in 1833 by WB Clark, but these improvements lasted just 50 years and further work was required in the 1880s. Eleanor Cross Road was bombed during World War Two, and although the monument didn’t suffer a direct hit it was damaged by the resulting tremors. Following the war, in 1950 a major restoration took place. The statutes were relocated briefly to Cheshunt library and for a time they were stored in Cedars Park conservatory before being loaned long term to the Victoria and Albert Museum for safe keeping.

  • Royal Connections to Dunstable
    Royal DUNSTABLE Connections One of twelve resting places for Queen Eleanor's funeral procession in 1290. Henry I established a town around the crossroads in Dunstable around 1109 and by 1123 had built a royal residence, to take advantage of the hunting grounds. The site is now occupied by the Old Palace Lodge Hotel, Kingsbury Court and the Norman King pub (which was sadly burned down in August 2011). On the wall outside the Norman King was the following inscription: "On the site of this inn and the adjoining ground, Henry I had a palace built where he regularly stayed from 1109, and which was known as Kingsbury." Henry founded a priory (a small monastery) in Dunstable in 1131. He granted the prior control of Dunstable Priory - founded 1131 : Chris Smith the town. However he had already promised the townspeople the same freedoms as the citizens of In 1291 the King ordered crosses to be erected to mark the London. As a result there were endless arguments over twelve sites where her who ran Dunstable, the prior or the merchants. body had rested.

By George Ormerod, D.C.L., F.R.S. and F.S.A. The LANCASHIRE HOUSE of NOEBES, and its SPEKE branch in particular, are among the strongest instances of the difficulty of investigating family history, where traditional antiquity and chivalrous descent have been acquiesced in from generation to generation. In such investigations the evidence of Records and Charters will often be found ample, but the labour of searching out and arranging it will as often be trifling when compared with the ungracious process of explaining errors in early compilations grown venerable from time; and such difficulty is created in the present case by the pedigree entered by Sir William Norres in the Visitation of 1567.

  • The Easter Sepulchre in Faversham Church
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 41 1929 ( 107 ) THE EASTER SEPULCHRE IN FAVERSHAM CHURCH. BY FANE LAMBABDE. IN Arch. Cant. XXXVI, p. 59, Mr. Arthur Hussey gives the Will of William Norreys, who desired to be buried in the Chancel of St. Nicholas Church, Ash by Sandwich. The will was proved 21st November, 1486, and so ended the connection with Kent of this great family which has left us such precious possessions as Speke Hall in Lancashire, Yattendon Church in Berkshire, and the heraldic glass of Ockwells in the same county. This William had inherited property from Sir John Norreys, who had acquired it through his second marriage to Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of Roger Clitherow (Arch. Cant. XXXIV, 58) and his wife, the daughter and heiress of Sir John Oldcastle, jure uxoris Lord Cobham. It was Sir John Norreys who entirely re-built the Church of Yattendon between 1450 and 1460; who built Ockwells, and made its windows a veritable " Liber Amicorum " in glass ; and who built the North or St. Nicholas Chancel of Bray Church : on one of the Corbels of the roof of which he put his Kentish wife's arms. William Norreys appointed, as one of the trustees of his will, Philip Fitz Lewes. He was the third son of Sir Lewes John, alias Fitz Lewes, of West Horndon in Essex and his first wife Alice, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, 10th Earl of Oxford. His daughter Anne, married- William Crowmer, grandson and namesake of the Mayor of London, whose estate in Tunstall had been purchased from Sir Robert Knolles, and whose daughter-in-law, Elizabeth (Fiennes) married, for her second husband, Alexander Iden, of Westwell.

    WALES AND THE WARS OF THE ROSES CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS C. F. CLAY, Manager ILcinfcott: FETTER LANE, E.C. EBmburgfj: 100 PRINCES STREET §& : WALES AND THE WARS OF THE ROSES BY HOWELL T. EVANS, M.A. St John's College, Cambridge Cambridge at the University Press 1915 : £ V*. ©amtrrtrge PRINTED BY JOHN CLAY, M.A. AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS PREFACE AS its title suggests, the present volume is an attempt to ** examine the struggle between Lancaster and York from the standpoint of Wales and the Marches. Contemporary chroniclers give us vague and fragmentary reports of what happened there, though supplementary sources of informa- tion enable us to piece together a fairly consecutive and intelligible story. From the first battle of St Albans to the accession of Edward IV the centre of gravity of the military situation was in the Marches : Ludlow was the chief seat of the duke of York, and the vast Mortimer estates in mid-Wales his favourite recruiting ground. It was here that he experienced his first serious reverse—at Ludford Bridge; it was here, too, that his son Edward, earl of March, won his way to the throne—at Mortimer's Cross. Further, Henry Tudor landed at Milford Haven, and with a predominantly Welsh army defeated Richard III at Bosworth. For these reasons alone unique interest attaches to Wales and the Marches in this thirty years' war; and it is to be hoped that the investigation will throw some light on much that has hitherto remained obscure. 331684 vi PREFACE I have ventured to use contemporary Welsh poets as authorities ; this has made it necessary to include a chapter on their value as historical evidence.
