  • Heritage Assets Tyrley
    Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Tyrley Ward Tyrley A settlement recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086 “lying within Hodnet Hundred (in Shropshire). William also holds Tyrley of the Earl Roger. Wulfric and Ravensward held it as two manors; they were free. One hide paying tax. There is land for two ploughs. There are four villagers and one slave with one plough. The value was 17 shillings and is now 20 shillings.” Recorded as a suspected lost village situated near the modern settlement of Hales by Bate and Palliser. No date of desertion is given. Jonathan Morris, in his book ‘The Shropshire Union Canal’ (1991), explains the origin of the name Tyrley. Tyrley Castle Farm is on the site of a Saxon castle which was built on a man-made mound in a field. The Saxon for mound is ‘tir’ and for field ‘ley’, hence Tirley which has become Tyrley Tyrley Wharf Page 68 Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Forming part of the Tyrley Conservation Area DC, The delightful collection of grade two listed buildings at Tyrley Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal was constructed by the Peatswood Estate to coincide with the completion of the canal. There were originally seven individual cottages built to house estate workers and a stable to accommodate the horses used to tow canal barges. Constructed in brown brick with ashlar dressings, slate roof with coped verges on stone kneelers, multi-paned 2- light casements in plastered stone surrounds to first, second and fourth bays from left, blind round-headed brick opening to third; 3 lean-to timber porches on brick dwarf walls with slate roofs to front over cambered doorways with boarded doors; prominent paired and rebated ridge stack to left (shared between Nos.30 and 31) and taller ridge stack to right (to No.32).

  • The Wars of the Roses: a Timeline of Key Events Edward III Reigns From
    The Wars of the Roses: A Timeline of Key Events . Edward III reigns from 1327 – 1377. Edward has many sons the heirs of which become the key players in the Wars of the Roses (see family tree). o Edward’s first son Edward (The Black Prince) dies in 1376. His son, Richard becomes Richard II following Edward III’s death and reigns from 1377 until 1399. o Edward’s third son Lionel also predeceases him. Lionel’s daughter, however, is integral to the claim made by The House of York to the throne at the time of the Wars of the Roses. Her granddaughter marries Richard, Duke of York who is the son of Edward III’s fifth son, Edmund, Duke of York. Their child Richard, 3rd Duke of York will eventually make a claim for the throne during the Wars of the Roses. o Edward’s fourth son John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, founds The House of Lancaster. His son, Henry (Bolingbroke), overthrows Richard II to become Henry IV. The descendants of Henry IV are King Henry V and King Henry VI. The House of Lancaster therefore has an uninterrupted reign of 62 years. o Edward’s fifth son Edmund of Langley, Duke of York founds The House of York. His son Richard, 2nd Duke of York marries the great- granddaughter of Edward’s third son. 1377: Edward III dies, and Richard II, his grandson, becomes king. Richard II is overthrown by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke who becomes King Henry IV. 1413: Henry IV dies, and Henry V becomes king.

  • Perkin Warbeck (NZ Version)
    Whether my hero was or was not an impostor, he was 1 believed to be the true man by his contemporaries . Perkin Warbeck Talk to the Australasian Convention of the Richard III Society, Upper Hutt, New Zealand, 13 - 15 April 2007 Dorothea Preis The young man, called by Henry VII's spin doctors, "Perkin Warbeck", has been surrounded by controversy ever since he first appeared on the world stage. He claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, the younger son of Edward IV, and thus would have been the brother of Henry's Queen Elizabeth. As Perkin Warbeck he is often regarded by historians as a footnote of little consequence to the glorious Tudor reign, and this is certainly the image that the Tudors liked to create. As we shall see, whatever Henry’s efforts at portraying the affair, this young man had him seriously worried and was widely accepted as Richard of York. As we know according to Tudor history Richard III was that evil monster who killed his poor innocent nephews. Therefore anyone claiming to be one of these nephews had to be an impostor, and a rather stupid one at that. However, there is no proof that they were indeed murdered by their uncle, or anyone else for that matter, and once we acknowledge this, we can have a more unbiased look at this young man’s identity. When Henry came to the throne he had the Titulus Regius, stating that Edward IV's children were illegitimate, revoked, in order to have an added claim to the throne through his wife.

Constructing History Lawson Garrett Hammock Richard III and the Wars of the Roses: A Teaching Unit The historical life and times of Richard III of England (1452-1485) presents an especially vivid demonstration of the idea that history is constructed. Both villainized and venerated by his contemporaries, Richard has also run the gamut through modern historians’ portrayals, which brings some query as to their historiological methods. This teaching unit is designed to introduce high school history students to some key concepts of artifact/document analysis. Its four activities allow students to discover for themselves the historical disjunctions that can occur between competing histories. Another reason Richard makes for a wonderful subject is the excitement, the drama, the mystery, and the intrigue surrounding his persona.

Goodman: European Chivalry in the 1490s EUROPEAN CHIVALRY IN THE 1490S JENNIFER R. GOODMAN This paper calls to remembrance an older world of the 1490s, one not often revisted by students of the Age of Discovery. This excursion offers a new path towards the better understanding of the Europeans of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries through the reexamination of the international chivalric culture of christian Europe. In the case of chivalry, pejorative judgement has distracted us from a striking process of creative adaptation. This paper's first goal is to give some idea of the atmosphere of the decade, of the pervasiveness of this chivalric element. Chiv- alry functioned as a medium for international understanding and communication, a common social, cultural, political, and even re- ligious language. It also provided an arena of competition be- tween individuals and groups. This study stresses the interna- tional character of this literature, and of this European chivalric ideology, with, of course, important national variations.
