Debate on Tudor government has only recently begun to be conducted beyond the lines laid down by Geoffrey Elton in the 1960s. Tudor historians, 'standing on the shoulders of a giant',4 have tended to concentrate their attentions on Westminster, and thus Tudor regional history lacks the established tradition that exists for the fifteenth century. Nevertheless, border historiography has developed its own archetypal themes. In 1921, Rachel Reid posed the 'problem of the north': how could the Crown advance its direct rule of a district so far away from Westminster and at the same time establish an adequate defence for a border some 110 miles long, when it lacked a standing army? In establishing the system of indentured wardens of the marches, Reid considered that Richard II had failed to fulfil the first imperative. He had aided and abetted the growth of overmighty subjects who 'used their position ... simply to further their own interests,.5 I G.R. Elton, Policy and Police: the Enforcement of the Reformation in the Age of Thomas Cromwell (Cambridge, 1972), p. viii. 2 Ibid. 3 S.G. Ellis, Tudor Frontiers and Noble Power: The Making of the British State (Oxford, 1995), pp. 8-9. 4 C. Coleman 'Professor Elton's "Revolution"', in C. Coleman and D. Starkey (eds), Revolution Reassessed, Revisions in the History of Tudor Government and Administration (Oxford, 1986), p. 11. 5 R.R. Reid, The King's Council (London, 1921), p. 20. 2 They became a 'standing menace to the peace of the land', until the Tudor monarchy 'at last wrested ... power from them'. 6 Thus, in the 1960s, James began with this established historical convention: that the Tudors' principal goal was to undermine the influence of its overmighty subjects. He concluded that the prime motivating factor of the Tudor Crown's border policy was to challenge Percy predominance. He duly wove a tale of an 'implacable' persecution of the family by the Tudor Crown, beginning with Henry VII's contrivance to murder the fourth earl in 1489; taking in the deliberate exclusion of the fifth earl from the traditional family office of warden of the east and middle marches; and ending with the sixth earl, a poor dupe hounded into abandoning the Percy patrimony to the insatiable Henry VIII. 7 The question of the Crown's relationship with the Percy family has loomed large in discussion of Tudor border policy ever since, and the fifth and sixth earls in particular have become exemplars of Henry's relationship with the northern nobility. The 'implacability' of the royal persecution has, however, been considerably revised - there is no real evidence that Henry VII conspired to murder the fourth earl, and Richard Hoyle has convincingly demonstrated that the author of the Percy disinheritance in 1536 was the sixth earl himself.8 M.L. Bush, who focussed mainly on border policy post-Pilgrimage of Grace, denied that the Tudor government was hostile to ruling either through the northern nobility in general, or the Percies in particular. Quite the reverse, in fact. After the death of the fourth earl, Bush argued, the policies of Henry VII and Henry VIII consisted of simply substituting one noble for another as circumstance dictated, marking time until 6 Reid, King's Council, p. 21. 7 M.E. James, A Tudor Magnate and the Tudor State: Henry Fifth Earl of Northumberland (York, 1966), pp. 3-4, 14. 8 See R. Hoyle, 'Henry Percy, Sixth Earl of Northumberland and the Fall of the House of Percy', in G.W. Bemard (ed.), The Tudor Nobility (Manchester. 1992). 3 'dependable magnates' emerged, with the 'proven ability and means' to exerCIse the office. The fifth earl of Northumberland was excluded from the east and middle marches because of his personal defects. He was simply 'too incapable and froward' to be trusted, or perhaps he refused the office.9 After the earl's death freed up his estranged son, Henry VIII heaved a sigh of relief and reinstated the Percies. As a corollary to this argument, Bush and others have pointed to the employment of the Dacres of Gilsland on the west march for over forty years. The marriage of Thomas, Lord Dacre to the Greystoke heiress in 1487 made him a considerable landholder for almost the whole of this period. This, it is argued, hardly suggests a policy of exclusion of the northern nobility from border office. 10 But the 'rising sun' of recent studies has not chased away the 'autumnal mist' of conviction that the Tudors regarded the political power of the northern nobility with suspicion. 11 Steven Ellis, whose comparison between the early Tudor rule of Ireland and of the Anglo-Scottish border remains the only in-depth study of the border counties for this period, does not differ greatly from Reid in his conclusions about the Tudor Crown's ends and - to some extent - its means. Through the reduction of noble power and the extension of royal government, Henry VII and his son hoped to promote peace and good rule, English 'civility', and dynastic security in the far north. 12 Ellis, however, differs 9 M.L.

  • Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace
    46 Scottish Society at the time of William Wallace That the Scots were identified as separate people by the late tenth and early eleventh century can be seen from the chronicles of Durham which record their passage and both successful and failed attempts at conquest. I Whether they were independent or vassal kings was not a matter of major significance at the time. Some of them looked to England for support. Malcolm Canmore in 1072 was forced to submit to William the Conqueror at Abernethy. This did not stop him raiding southwards later. His son Edgar said in a charter that he was king "by the grant of my lord, William, king of the English and by paternal inheritance"2 and he bore a sword at William Rufus's coronation. Henry I took to wife a Scottish princess. Later kings of Scotland took English queens. The Scottish kings did homage to the English for English lands such as the earldom of Huntingdon, but then the English kings did homage to the French for some of the lands they held in France.3 More interesting perhaps is the question 'What was Scotland in Wallace's time?' It was an area which lacked the cultural homogeneity of Ireland or Wales. The Islands and the West Coast were part of the Scandinavian kingdom down to 1100, spoke Norse and used Odal law. The kingdom ruled by the descendants of Kenneth MacApline (died c.858) who called themselves kings of the Scots, which had held sway over Gaels and Picts in the west, had by Wallace's time spread to the south and east which was 'English' speaking.

  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: Shielings
    Shielings Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which have previously lacked such a published summary, either because the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. This IHA provides an introduction to shielings (huts that served as temporary, summer, accommodation for people involved in transhumance, that is the removal of stock from permanent dwellings to exploit areas of summer pasture some distance away from the main settlement). Descriptions of the asset type and its development as well as its associations and a brief chronology are included. A list of in‑depth sources on the topic is suggested for further reading. This document has been prepared by Rob Young and edited by Joe Flatman and Pete Herring. It is one of a series of 41 documents. This edition published by Historic England October 2018.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
