Source: Montacute1 Portrait on the right described by Philip Mould as Portrait of an unknown french noblewoman: www.historicalportraits.com: Image Library _____________________________________________________________________ The french influence noted by the firm of Philip Mould regarding the latter portrait may be a consequence of the fact that Elizabeth’s husband, Sir Thomas Leighton, served as Governor of Jersey (1570- 1 As an interesting aside, Elizabeth Knolly’s black hat was displayed at the National Maritime Museum in 2003 in an exhibition curated by David Starkey. Elizabeth also presented Elizabeth I with a ‘fayre cap of black vellat’ in 1578/9 1 1609): ‘governor of the ifles of Guernfey and Jcrfey, and con-ftable of the tower of London’. In terms of the wearing of mourning attire, Elizabeth’s brother Edward and her brother-in-law, Gerald Fitzgerald, Baron Offaley, both died in 1580.

  • Francis Bacon, Shakespeare & the Earl of Essex
    Francis Bacon, Shakespeare & the Earl of Essex A historical sketch of Francis Bacon’s association with Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, the Shakespeare Circle, the Essex Rebellion and Essex’s Trial. Author: Peter Dawkins Francis Bacon and his brother Anthony, sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, and his second wife, Lady Anne (née Cooke), had known Robert and Penelope Devereux from childhood, as they had once been neighbours, the Bacon family living in York House and the Devereux family living next door in Durham House. Also close to York House was Burghley House, home of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley, who was married to Lady Mildred (née Cooke), Lady Anne’s sister. From a young age, Francis and Anthony Bacon were often at Burghley House, and, in this way, they also came to know and befriend Philip and Mary Sidney, who were many times left in the care of the Cecils during Sir Henry Sidney’s absences in Ireland during the years 1565-1571. When Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex, died on 22 September 1576, his son Robert, now the 2nd Earl of Essex, became a ward of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and soon after, in 1577, came to live at Burghley House amongst the Cecil household. That same year (1577) Mary Sidney married Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, and in 1578 the widowed Lady Essex (Lettice Knollys) married the Queen's favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Leicester was a major patron of poets, and it was at Leicester House that the English Areopagus of poets used to meet during the 1580s.

At one time it was part of the large land holding owned by Lord Digby, and leased to the Brereton and other families. While much has changed since the 18th century, the church of St. Mary’s, Geashill remains. Fortunately for descendants searching for their Irish ancestors, the church community has prepared a wonderful sign board which identifies the graves and memorials within the St. Mary’s cemetery. This listing is also available on-line. During my visit in 2014 I was able to find the grave marker of my g-g-g-g-grandfather David Brereton of Killurin as well as that of his wife Eleanor and many of their family. Following are two examples of grave markers in St. Mary’s Cemetery: John Brereton of Mountmellick: for John Brereton of Mountmellick to the memory of his dear brothers and sisters, William, David George and Joshua, Sarah and Anna all of whom died with the space of a few years, 7 February 1832.

Substantial archival sources are analysed to evaluate the concepts of female political agency discussed in scholarly literature, including women’s roles in politics, within families, in networks and as part of the court patronage system. A case study methodology is used to examine the lives and careers of specific aristocratic women in three spheres of court politics – the politics of female agency, the politics of family and faction, and the politics of favour. The first case study looks at Elizabeth’s long-serving lady-in-waiting, Anne Dudley, Countess of Warwick, and demonstrates that female political agents harnessed multiple sources of agency to exercise power at court on behalf of dense patronage networks.

Hence the name "s- Gravenpolder', the Count's reclaimed land. Two years later, in 1317, the first harvest was gathered in. Since detailed information as to when people started living in the polder is not available it is uncertain whether the new land was, in its early years, merely used for agricultural reasons or for habitation as well.2 Some time during the sixteenth century a Rhetoricians' Chamber, named De Fiolieren or Stock-Gillyflowers, was founded in the village, by then the central habitat of the polder which had been renamed Middel- or Koornpolder. The precise date of the Chamber's foundation is unknown but, according to an archival record, it was re-established in 1596 after having been inactive for many years. From then on its members continued to work as a Rhetoricians' Chamber until 1818. Some time during the 1920s, the town archivist D.A.
