Meadows Abstract This work details the lives and roles of the wives of Henry VIII as well as other female members of the British aristocracy, specifically during the reign of Henry VIII and the time immediately preceding and succeeding his reign. The research cited in this work show that female members of the nobility, particularly the wives of Henry VIII, were not completely independent of Henry VIII but gained independence through their own unique households and through the decisions they made in this space they could attain a certain level of autonomy. Women’s leadership within the household could translate into leadership outside of the household and allowed women to operate and hold power independently of their male counterparts, particularly when employing religious and patronage efforts.

  • Ives Sample Chapter the Life and Death of Anne Boleyn.Pdf
    Ives/Anne Boleyn Final Proof 8.6.2004 10:18pm page 1 part i Backgrounds and Beginnings Ives/Anne Boleyn Final Proof 8.6.2004 10:18pm page 2 Ives/Anne Boleyn Final Proof 8.6.2004 10:18pm page 3 1 A Courtier’s Daughter NNE Boleyn was born, so tradition goes, at the fairy-tale castle of A Hever in the Weald of Kent. Reconstructed by the Astor family in the twentieth century, Hever remains a romantic shrine to Anne and her love affair with Henry VIII. Unfortunately for romance and tradition, Anne was in fact born in Norfolk, almost certainly at the Boleyn home at Blickling, fifteen miles north of Norwich. The church there still has brasses of the family. The Boleyns certainly owned Hever, although it was less a castle than a comfortable manor-house which her great-grandfather, Geoffrey, had built within an existing moat and curtain wall, and it did become the principal residence of her parents. But Matthew Parker, who became archbishop of Canterbury in 1559 and had earlier been one of Anne’s private chaplains, was quite specific that she came, as he did, from Norfolk.1 Tradition also tells us that the Boleyns were a family of London merchants, and again tradition leads us astray. Anne Boleyn was born a great lady. Her father, Thomas, was the eldest son of Sir William Boleyn of Blickling, and her mother, Elizabeth, was the daughter of Thomas Howard, earl of Surrey, one of the premier noblemen in England. There was mercantile wealth in the family, but to get to that we have to go back to Geoffrey Boleyn, the builder of Hever.

  • An Offer of Help Resistivity and Auger Survey on Silk Hill
    November 2020 Dear Member It is that time again, the time to write, edit and distribute the month’s Newsletter soon comes around. I hope that this edition finds you well. The present Covid-19 situation continues but there are some signs of hope. Progress is being made with at least two vaccines and the results sound very promising. But I don’t want us to be dominated by this invisible pest. So, for the next hour (or 5 minutes depending upon your attention span) enjoy reading all about, among other things the previous owner of Lindley House which may result in a bit of a discussion. I have received an article from our friend Walter Baynes, and it can be seen that Walter is well skilled in producing excellent articles when he is not busy elsewhere. I did manage to get out and about between lockdowns (although it did rather feel as I was putting my head above the parapet) and have also been researching the Heraldic Shields I started off last month. I know just how disappointed you will be without a quiz, so I have included some for you. Don’t forget to send me any ideas, suggestions, articles, jokes, photographs, indeed anything you like. I will include them in the bulletins or the monthly Newsletter as and when they arrive. I have been royally entertained by a number of you with your jokes and videos. Thank you very much to all who have submitted items. Come along, don’t be shy! Better get on with it! I am working on a big quiz for December so any contributions would be very welcome.

  • An Assessment of the “Sweating Sickness” Affecting England During the Tudor Dynasty
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Edwin Del Wollert for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Science presented on March 15, 2017. Title: An Assessment of the “Sweating Sickness” Affecting England During the Tudor Dynasty Abstract approved: Paul E. Kopperman Abstract. While historiography and interest in Tudor England at both the popular and specialist levels presents few signs of diminishing, there may nonetheless exist a sense that we have little left to learn about this period and its culture. A notable gap in our knowledge, however, remains regarding the mysterious disease known only as “sweating sickness” or sudor anglicus. This dissertation addresses and evaluates this disease from the perspective of the history of science, and in doing so, it makes three key arguments. First, this project examines how the early modern science and medicine known and practiced by Tudor subjects influenced their perceptions of this new disease, leaving them in a mostly helpless position from which to combat it and indeed often wondering if the unknown illness might represent a divine judgment, especially in the form of questioning a dubious claim to monarchy made by the first Tudor ruler, Henry VII. Second, the dissertation offers a detailed and layered thesis concluding that the disease was ultimately caused by an earlier version of the louping-ill virus, or LIV, a virus and accompanying illness which continued to affect parts of Western Europe, with its own unique strain still extant within Britain. The third argument will return to the opening statement of this abstract, and reveal how this more thorough and unique treatment of Tudor historiography does much to further our understanding of the Tudors and their citizens, all the more relevant since the “Sweat” even now is typically either mentioned in passing, or not at all, but those who write about this period of history.

Zinsser ______________________________________ Reader Dr. Renee Baernstein _______________________________________ Reader Dr. Charlotte Goldy ______________________________________ Reader Dr. Stephen Norris _______________________________________ Graduate School Representative Dr. Katharine Gillespie ! ! ABSTRACT BY NO ORDINARY PROCESS: TREASON, GENDER, AND POLITICS UNDER HENRY VIII by Sarah Elizabeth Donelson Using the treason statute of 1534 and the Pole/Courtenay treason case of 1538, I explore how the intersection of treason, gender, and personal politics subverted and then changed the gender paradigm for traitors in the sixteenth century. The Poles and Courtenays were descended from the Plantagenets, the ruling dynasty in England before the Tudors, and as such were a threat to Henry VIII and the stability of his throne. After one member of the Pole family, Cardinal Reginald Pole, was declared a traitor by the king, Henry VIII and his principal minister, Thomas Cromwell, embarked upon an investigation of his family and friends. What they found convinced them that these two families were guilty of high treason and planning to replace him on the throne. The Pole/ Courtenay case shows the instability of customary gender assumptions both in English politics and the legislation and prosecution of treason. Though the process of the investigation, prosecution, and sentencing, the state changed what it meant to be a traitor in terms of gender. ! !

  • A Counterfactual History Analysis of Henry VIII's Three So
    Male Heirs, Bastard King, Catholic England and Other Alternatives: A Counterfactual History Analysis of Henry VIII’s Three Sons Oona Harju Bachelor’s seminar and thesis (682285A) English philology Faculty of Humanities University of Oulu Autumn 2018 Harju 2 Abstract In this thesis the lives of Henry VIII’s three sons, Prince Henry, Henry Fitzroy and Edward VI, will be analysed using counterfactual history as the research method. The aim is to research what effects them not dying prematurely might have had on England’s history and how these effects would be visible in England today. Several different alternative scenarios are introduced, and their plausibility is analysed critically. This thesis concludes that the deaths of Henry VIII’s sons altered the history of England drastically. Prince Henry’s survival would have altered history the most as him surviving would have resulted in England not going through the Protestant reformation during Henry VIII’s reign and therefore remaining Catholic. Henry Fitzroy’s role is considered to be major as he is regarded as a potential King of England, regardless of his illegitimacy. Finally, Edward VI’s survival would have resulted in a smoother transition of power and it would have saved the people of England from the religious conflicts of the 1550s. Ultimately, all the scenarios would have made the Tudor era longer and changed the way the Tudors are remembered today. Tiivistelmä Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa tutkitaan Englannin kuningas Henrik VIII:n kolmea poikaa, prinssi Henrikiä, Henrik Fitzroyta ja Edvard VI:ta ja heidän elämiään. Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytetään kontrafaktuaalista historiaa. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on tutkia, millaisia vaikutuksia poikien ennen aikaisella kuolemalla oli ja miten heidän selviytymisensä olisi muuttanut historiaa ja miten muutokset näkyisivät nykypäivän Englannissa.
