  • Remembering King Charles I: History, Art and Polemics from the Restoration to the Reform Act T
    REMEMBERING KING CHARLES I: HISTORY, ART AND POLEMICS FROM THE RESTORATION TO THE REFORM ACT T. J. Allen Abstract: The term Restoration can be used simply to refer to the restored monarchy under Charles II, following the Commonwealth period. But it can also be applied to a broader programme of restoring the crown’s traditional prerogatives and rehabilitating the reign of the king’s father, Charles I. Examples of this can be seen in the placement of an equestrian statue of Charles I at Charing Cross and a related poem by Edmund Waller. But these works form elements in a process that continued for 200 years in which the memory of Charles I fused with contemporary constitutional debates. The equestrian statue of Charles I at Charing Cross, produced by the French sculptor Hubert Le Sueur c1633 and erected in 1675. Photograph: T. J. Allen At the southern end of Trafalgar Square, looking towards Whitehall, stands an equestrian statue of Charles I. This is set on a pedestal whose design has been attributed to Sir Christopher Wren and was carved by Joshua Marshall, Master Mason to Charles II. The bronze figure was originally commissioned by Richard Weston (First Earl of Portland, the king’s Lord High Treasurer) and was produced by the French sculptor Hubert Le Sueur in the early 1630s. It originally stood in 46 VIDES 2014 the grounds of Weston’s house in Surrey, but as a consequence of the Civil War was later confiscated and then hidden. The statue’s existence again came to official attention following the Restoration, when it was acquired by the crown, and in 1675 placed in its current location.

For biographies of the authors see the Introduction to Vol. 1 “The Bluets”. Both of the previous volumes in this history, and others, are held by Wiltshire Libraries, the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham and online at http://www.lackham.co.uk/history/documents.asp As always we owe enormous debts of gratitude to the people who helped by their willingness to give freely of their time, expertise and knowledge, and without whom this volume would not have been possible. Individual credits and thanks are given in the footnotes.

  • The Opening of the Impeachment of Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, June to September 1715: the ‘Memorandum’ of William Wake, Bishop of Lincoln
    The Opening of the Impeachment of Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, June to September 1715: The ‘Memorandum’ of William Wake, Bishop of Lincoln Clyve Jones I On 30 July, Robert Harley, 1st earl of Oxford, was dismissed from his office of lord treasurer (in effect ‘prime minister’)1 by Queen Anne, and replaced by a ‘safer pair of hands’ in the shape of the duke of Shrewsbury, whose promotion was designed to ensure the succession of the protestant house of Hanover to the British throne.2 Two days later on 1 August, the queen herself died, and in mid-September George I landed at Greenwich to claim his inheritance. A year later, in July 1715 Oxford was impeached before the house of lords by the house of commons for high treason and high crimes and misdemeanours. Oxford was impeached by the body, the Commons, in which he had been one of the dominant politicians from the mid-1690s to his promotion to the peerage in May 1711, and had been Speaker of the Commons from 1701 to 1705. Oxford’s fall from grace was shared by Lord Bolingbroke (secretary of state, 1710 to 31 August 1714), the duke of Ormond (commander-in-chief of the British forces on the Continent, 1712-14) and the earl of Strafford (chief British negotiator of the treaty of Utrecht), all of whom were impeached between July and September 1715. These prominent politicians in the largely tory ministry of 1710 to 1714 had been tainted with the accusation of jacobitism (support of the exile Old Pretender, catholic son of the late king James II), though some with more reason than others, who had fallen foul of the whig opposition to the ministry and the parliamentary sanctioned heir-in-waiting, the elector of Hanover.

  • Notes and Documents “Reasons Giuen by Me, Why I Am in Debt”: Monetary Crisis and the Second Earl of Bridgewater
    notes and documents “Reasons Giuen by Me, Why I am in Debt”: Monetary Crisis and the Second Earl of Bridgewater Robin Hermann abstract This essay examines the changing views of John Egerton, second Earl of Bridgewater, of the emerging consumer economy of late seventeenth-cen- tury England. Robin Hermann analyzes the earl’s accounts, correspondence, and other manuscripts to explore a revealing case of the post-Restoration encounter between the customary values of the aristocracy and the commercial interests of the merchant. Of particular interest is a “debt document,” a memorandum in which Bridgewater explains to himself and to his progeny the reasons for his crippling indebtedness. keywords: John Egerton, second Earl of Bridgewater; Charles II; Stop of the Exchequer; Sir Josiah Child; currency in early modern England the emergent consumer economy of late seventeenth-century England troubled Restoration society. It may now be problematic to refer to a “commercial revolution” during those years, but various writers, from John Milton to anonymous pamphleteers, did note and fear an extraordinary expansion of acquisition and con- sumption.1 These writers acknowledged the utility and necessity of trade but worried that the priorities of the market had come to trump all concerns of society and the state. The opposing view in what soon became a vehement debate over the virtues of the market and the value of unregulated trade was held by other writers and an array of pamphlet-writing economists.2 They argued that unregulated trade would not only 1.

  • Knights of the Shire of Kent from A.D. 1275 to A.D. 1831
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 21 1895 ( 198 ) KNIGHTS OE THE SHIRE EOR KENT EROM A.D. 1275 TO A.D. 1831.* BY REV. J. CAVE-BROWNE, M.A., VICAE ov DETLING, MAIDSTONE. THE Parliament of England was in Saxon times of the most simple form, as its name, the WITANA-GEHOT, " the assembly of the wise men," indicated. It consisted of the bishops and principal abbots, sitting with the thanes or barons and ealder- men, thus comprising the " Lords Spiritual and Temporal;" the former at first by prescriptive right as bishops, and after the Conquest as holding their baronies under the Crown ; the latter as under their military tenure, vassals of the Crown, to which stipulated " service " was due. To these the Conqueror added a third class, elected repre- sentatives from the several counties, known by the name of "Knights of the Shire." It was not till the days of the later Plantagenets that cities and boroughs were pri- vileged to send representatives under the name of "bur- gesses." The earliest record now extant of the component mem- bers of such a Parliament is of that held in the third year of the reign of Edward I. (1275). With it commences the list of " Knights of the Shire " for Kent, as given in the following pages. The number of members to be sent from each county seems at first to have varied. In the fifth year of King John's reign a Parliament had been held at which four knights were to be summoned; in the 10th year of Henry III.
