A Crisis of Scholarship: Misreading the Earl of Oxford the OXFORDIAN Volume IX 2006
ACRISIS OF SCHOLARSHIP Misreading the Earl of Oxford Christopher Paul k Timon: How goes the world, that I am thus encount’red With clamorous demands of broken bonds, And the detention of long since due debts Against my honor? .

Timon of Athens: Act II, Scene 2 N January 1576, almost a year into his grand tour of the continent, Edward de Vere, the seventeenth earl of Oxford, sent a letter to his father-in-law, William Cecil, Lord Burghley, from Siena, Italy, in which he wrote: I am sorry to hear how hard my fortune is in England, as I perceive by your Lordship’s letters, but knowing how vain a thing it is to linger a necessary mis- chief (to know the worst of myself and to let your Lordship understand wherein I would use your honorable friendship), in short I have thus determined, that whereas I understand the greatness of my debt and greediness of my creditors grows so dishonorable to me, and troublesome unto your Lordship, that that land of mine which in Cornwall I have appointed to be sold according to that first order for mine expenses in this travel be gone through withal.

The Other W.S., William Stanley, Sixth Earl of Derby
The Other W.S., William Stanley, Sixth Earl of Derby John Raithel n the following, I hope to provide a reasonable summary of the evidence I that I believe points to William Stan- ley, the sixth earl of Derby, as the author of the works generally attributed to Shake- speare. I do not intend, of course, to pre- sent all the material here, but do hope to give a reasonable history of the Derbyite conviction, and in so doing point to some of the sources, compilers, and interpreters of this information, and then bring it up to date with recent discoveries and publica- tions. Beginning with the referenced works, I believe the interested reader will find much to flesh-out the skeleton sketched here. There are good reasons for suspecting that the traditional assignation of the authorship of Shakespeare’s works is misplaced. These are based on statements made about the works at the time of their appearance, evidence concerning the traditional candidate, and inferences derived from the works themselves. There are also good reasons for suspecting the true author to be William Stanley, the sixth earl of Derby. Some of these, too, are based on statements made about the author of the works, and inferences derived from the works themselves. And some are based on evidence concerning William Stanley. None of the statements, evidence, or inferences is conclusive—for Stanley or anyone else—or there would be no controversy. The case for Derby is made by examining the available material and attempting to weight it appropriately, assigning, for example, less weight to inferences drawn from the plays by a Derbyite—where there must be a natural bias toward interpreting the evidence in support of Derby—and more weight to a contemporary’s comments about the author, or to modern research by a non-Derbyite scholar. -
The Death of the Fifth Earl of Derby: Cunning Folk and Medicine in Early Modern England
The Death of the Fifth Earl of Derby: Cunning Folk and Medicine in Early Modern England judith bonzol University of Sydney Les devins ont joué un rôle indispensable dans le diagnostique et la guérison de maladies d’origine diabolique dans les communautés anglaises des débuts de la modernité. Malgré les tentatives du clergé de les faire passer pour les agents du Diable, leur popularité est restée intacte. Les solutions proposées par l’église Protestante — la prière, le jeune et la piété — se sont avérés impuissantes face à la multitude d’afflictions étranges et déconcertantes infestant la campagne anglaise. Bien que les diagnostiques de ces personnes rusées ont parfois conduit à des accusations de sorcellerie, leur pratique s’est souvent avérée préférable aux traitements invasifs et radicaux appliqués par les médecins gradués de l’université. La croyance populaire dans la capacité magique de guérison des devins était en partie favorisée par leur soutien par les élites. L’examen détaillé de la maladie soudaine et de la mort en 1594 de Ferdinando Stanley, cinquième comte de Derby, montre que l’emploi de ces intervenants n’était pas une pratique limitée aux pauvres et aux ignorants, et explore la nature des relations entre la médecine contrôlée par l’université et ce type de pratique. n April 1594, Ferdinando Stanley, the fifth Earl of Derby, died suddenly and Iunexpectedly in mysterious circumstances. Because he was a contender to the English throne, his contemporaries considered the possibility of poisoning.1 But the best-known account of his death tells us that “many learned men … suppose[d] him to be bewitched.”2 Current thinking invariably attributes the Earl’s death to poison. -
Henry, Earl of Derby's Suite on His Embassy to Paris in 1584/5
HENRY, EARL OF DERBY'S SUITE ON HIS EMBASSY TO PARIS IN 1584/5. Contributed, by E. B. Goodacre, B.A. T TENRY, fourth Earl of Derby, was sent by Elizabeth -*- '- on two diplomatic missions. Of the earlier of these, when he was sent to Paris to invest Henry III of France with the Order of the Garter, a fairly full account is given by Nichols in his Progresses of Queen Elizabeth. This embassy was rendered notable by the magnificence of the Earl's retinue and the splendour of his reception in the French capital. The membership of the Earl's suite on this occasion is given by Nichols (1788 edition, vol. II, p. 209) as follows : Henry Earl of Derby took leave of the Queen at Greenwich the aoth of January, with him. D.

A Ferrers Document of the Twelfth Century Pp. 159-165
A FERRERS DOCUMENT OF THE TWELFTH CENTURY BY ELEANOR SWIFT, M.A. A Ferrers Document of the Twelfth Century By Eleanor Swift, M.A. AN early charter presented to Iveicester City Museum by the British Records Association, is a confirmation and grant to Garendon Abbey by William Earl Ferrers, of land and pasturage rights at Heathcote in Derbyshire. The illustration that accom panies this note1 will give some idea of the appearance of the deed, and a transcription and translation are appended. The grant is written, as was usual, in Latin on parchment 8" x 5", and is sealed with a fine equestrian seal of Earl William, appended to the deed by a woven silk thong. William Earl Ferrers, Earl of Derby, who was undoubtedly the third earl of that creation, inherited his father's lands and title about 1160. He married Sybil de Braose, had a son William who succeeded him and died at the siege of Acre in the Holy Land, in 1190. The descent of the family, in the twelfth century, as given here follows that of G.E.C.'s The Complete Peerage. Nichols, in his History of Leicestershire, and Dugdale in Baronage of England, differ widely from G.E.C. Both give a greater number of holders of the title, including two in the twelfth, and one in the thirteenth century, who married ladies called Sybil. As far as concerns the dating of this deed, the 13th century Sybil can be disregarded, since she died before her husband succeeded to the Earldom, and was therefore never Countess. -

For Those Royalists Disappointed by Charles II's Failure to Reward Them
1 The earls of Derby and the opposition to their estate bills in parliament, 1660-92: some new manuscript sources By Charles Littleton, History of Parliament Trust Abstract: The bills introduced in 1660-62 by Charles Stanley, 8th earl of Derby, to reclaim his property conveyed by legal procedures to other proprietors during the Interregnum are well-known to students of the Restoration, as their ultimate defeat is seen as evidence of the royal government's wish to enforce 'indemnity and oblivion' after the civil war. The leading members of the House of Lords opposed to the bill of 1661-2 can be gauged by the protest against its passage on 6 February 1662, which has been readily available to students to consult since the 18th-century publication of the Lords Journals. A number of manuscript lists of the protesters against the bill's passage reveal that the opposition to the bill was even more extensive and politically varied than the protest in the Journal suggests, which raises questions of why the printed protest is so incomplete. A voting forecast drawn up by William Stanley, 9th earl of Derby, in 1691 further reminds us of the often neglected point that the Stanleys continued to submit bills for the resumption of their hereditary lands well after the disappointment of 1662. Derby's manuscript calculations, though ultimately highly inaccurate, reveal much about how this particular peer envisaged the forces ranged for and against the claims of an old civil war royalist family, a good forty years after the loss of their land. -

The Chief Steward Who Never Was … and Two New Lords of Bowland?
THE CHIEF STEWARD WHO NEVER WAS … AND TWO NEW LORDS OF BOWLAND? William Bowland In 2009, the Cambridge University Heraldic and Genealogical Society published the first ever dedicated study of the history of the Lordship of Bowland in the form of a Special Issue of its journal The Escutcheon (Vol XV). Co-authored by a Cambridge academic and a local Bowland historian, the monograph offered an account of the ancient lordship based on primary archival research. It concluded with a definitive list of the Lords of the Forest, Master Foresters, Bowbearers and Chief Stewards dating back to the late C11th. Inevitably, in the decade since the authors conducted their research, fresh evidence has come to light in a number of areas. Most importantly, the Slaidburn Court Rolls have now been fully transcribed; a transcription which has filled important gaps in the record of the 1680s and 1690s at the time when the 2nd Duke of Albemarle (1670-88) and the 1st Duke of Montagu (1692-1709) were Lords of the Forest. Anthony Parker, a lawyer descended from the Parkers of Bradkirk, is now known to have served as Chief Steward of the Slaidburn Court between 1687-92 and his successor Ambrose Pudsay is known to have served for just one year in 1693. There is also a document recently discovered at the Cumbria Record Office in Barrow-in-Furness (BPR 1/M/9/25/3) which suggests the existence of another Chief Steward, one who never took office: Thomas Lower. The Record Office assigns this undated draft to the 1670s but there is circumstantial evidence to suggest a later date, perhaps as late as 1701.
