  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

  • Elizabeth and Ffrancis Trentham of Rocester Abbey De Vere Society Newsletter
    November 2006 Elizabeth and ffrancis Trentham of Rocester Abbey De Vere Society Newsletter Elizabeth and ffrancis Trentham of Rocester Abbey by Jeremy Crick Part I of a short account of the family history of Edward de Vere Earl of Oxford’s second wife and the strategic importance of the Trentham archive in the search for Oxford’s literary fragments. Accompanied by the Trentham family tree incorporating the de Veres and the Sneyds. Introduction Whether it was Oxford’s son-in-law, Philip When I began my study of the Trentham family, Herbert, Earl of Montgomery, and his brother about two years ago, I had one principal thought in William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke - the mind: if any of Edward de Vere’s literary papers - ‘incomparable brethren’ - who were given access to whether notebooks, original drafts or even literary Oxford’s papers (and which may later have been correspondence - have survived undiscovered till consumed by fire in the library at Wilton), or the present, it must be possible to find them. whether it was another son-in-law, William Stanley, Being a passionate Oxfordian these past Earl of Derby, who began the process of preserving twenty-odd years, I’m as fascinated as all Oxford’s life’s work for posterity, we may never Oxfordians are by the remarkable scholarship that know. has illuminated the ‘Shakespearean’ canon with It is very unlikely, however, that Elizabeth concordances from Oxford’s life, alongside the Trentham divested herself of all of Oxford’s literary broader question of whether the Stratford or the papers for the preparation of the First Folio - to the Oxford biography delivers the better candidate.

  • Letters from a Young Painter Abroad: James Russel in Rome, 1740-63
    LETTERS FROM A YOUNG PAINTER ABROAD: JAMES RUSSEL IN ROME, 1740-63 by JASON M. KELLY INTRODUCTION AMES RUSSEL was an English artist and antiquary who lived in Rome between 1740 and 1763. At one time he was among the foremost ciceroni in Italy. His patrons included Richard Mead Jand Edward Holdsworth. Andrew Lumisden, the Secretary to the Young Pretender, wrote that Russel was his 'ingenious friend' .1 Despite his centrality to the British Grand Tour community of the mid-eighteenth century, scholars have virtually ignored him. Instead, they favour his fellow artists, such as Robert Adam and William Chambers, and other antiquaries, such as Thomas Jenkins, James Byres and Gavin Hamilton.2 Nevertheless, Russel's career gives insight into the British community in Italy at the dawn of the golden age of the Grand Tour. His struggles as an artist reveal the conditions in which the young tyros laboured. His rise to prominence broadens what we know about both the British and Italian artistic communities in eighteenth-century Rome. And his network of patrons reveals some of the familial and political connections that were neces­ sary for social success in eighteenth-century Britain. In fact, the experience ofJames Russel reveals the importance of seeing Grand Tourist and expatriate communities as extensions of domestic social networks. Like eighteenth-century sailors who went to sea, these travellers lived in a world apart that was nevertheless intimately connected to life at home.3 While many accounts of the Grand Tour mention Russel in passing, only Frank Salmon and Sir Brinsley Ford have examined his work in any detail.4 Part of this is due to the fact that his artistic output was relatively small.

  • In August 1648 King Charles I Was Taken Prisoner. the Presbyterians
    In August 1648 King Charles I was taken prisoner. The Presbyterians, the majority in the House of Commons, still hoped that Charles would save them from those advocating religious toleration and an extension of democracy. On 5th December, the House of Commons voted by 129 to 83 votes, to continue negotiations. The following day the New Model Army occupied London and Colonel Thomas Pridepurged Parliament of MPs who favoured a negotiated settlement with the King. General Henry Ireton demanded that Charles was put on trial. Oliver Cromwell had doubts about this and it was not until several weeks later that he told the House of Commons that "the providence of God hath cast this upon us". Once the decision had been made Cromwell "threw himself into it with the vigour he always showed when his mind was made up, when God had spoken". In January 1649, Charles was charged with "waging war on Parliament." It was claimed that he was responsible for "all the murders, burnings, damages and mischiefs to the nation" in the English Civil War. The jury included members of Parliament, army officers and large landowners. Some of the 135 people chosen as jurors did not turn up for the trial. For example. General Thomas Fairfax, the leader of the Parliamentary Army, did not appear. When his name was called, a masked lady believed to be his wife, shouted out, "He has more wit than to be here." This was the first time in English history that a king had been put on trial. Charles believed that he was God's representative on earth and therefore no court of law had any right to pass judgement on him.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Gallican Vision, Anglican Perspectives: The Reception of the Works of Louis Ellies Du Pin into England A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Dennis R. Di Mauro Washington, D.C. 2012 Gallican Vision, Anglican Perspectives: The Reception of the Works of Louis Ellies Du Pin into England Dennis R. Di Mauro, Ph.D. Director: Jacques M. Grès-Gayer, D. Hist., D. Theo. Acting Director: Nelson H. Minnich, Ph.D. This dissertation examines the twenty-seven English editions of famed Gallican church historian Louis Ellies Du Pin. While Du Pin‘s life and works have been extensively researched by Grès-Gayer, his English translations, and reactions to them, have never been fully studied. The research takes an in-depth look at his Protestant editors‘ comments, as well as those of other prominent scholars who cite Du Pin‘s works in their own. Their varied depictions of Du Pin include: Protestant sympathizer, pre- enlightenment scholar, and a staunch Catholic. The dissertation includes English Catholic reactions to Du Pin as a traitor to the Catholic cause and a closet Jansenist. Was the ―English Du Pin‖ the Real Du Pin? The conclusion explains how the English misunderstood him, and explores the many facets of the real scholar: a debunker of ancient forgeries, an agenda-driven Gallican, and a clumsy ecumenist. i This dissertation by Dennis R. Di Mauro fulfills the requirement for the doctoral degree in church history approved by Jacques M.
