Praise ye the Lord. and command the proposed campaign to Scotland, Cromwell chose instead to emphasise the secular and practical rather than the spiritual motivation According to an account written by Captain John Hodgson, one of the for and goals of the venture - the Scots, he argued, were evidently planning parliamentary officers who fought at Dunbar, Cromwell halted his army to invade England to restore the Stuart monarchy, and so it would be better after they had broken the Scottish forces so that they could together sing to march north to ensure that the fighting, violence and bloodshed should these words, Psalm 117, before pursuing the fleeing Scots. As so often with take place on Scottish rather than English soil. Cromwell, religious motivation may have been underpinned by practical considerations - by halting to sing the shortest of the psalms, Cromwell Secondly, Cromwell saw God as actively involved in the Scottish venture. en.sured that his troops were in reasonably good order and back in line and God's messages directed the campaign, divine providences shaped actions formation before the horse embarked upon the pursuit of the remnants of and events, and the Lord intervened thus in favour of England. In August the Scottish army. But there is no reason to doubt the sincerity of 1650, as Cromwell was pulling his forces back from the Edinburgh area, the Cromwell's faith displayed on the battlefield of Dunbar - Cromwell chose Scots harried and began unnerving the rear of the English army around the phrase 'The Lord of Hosts' as the parliamentarian rallying cry and call Haddington during the night-time retreat. Things looked bad until 'the sign on the battlefield. His religious beliefs underpinned his actions at Lord by His good Providence put a cloud over the moon, thereby giving us Dunbar, as they underpinned his whole military career. the opportunity to fall back with little loss'. Towards the end of the Scottish campaign, the decision to push the English army north into Fife was On this the 350th anniversary of the triumph and the tragedy of the Battle depicted by Cromwell as a move determined by God: 'After our waiting of Dunbar, as well as Cromwell day, the 342nd anniversary of his death in upon the Lord, and not knowing what course to take, for indeed we know 1658, I would like briefly to highlight and to explore several aspects of nothing but what God pleaseth to teach us of His great mercy, we were Cromwell's religious beliefs and personal faith, as seen not just at Dunbar directed to send a part to get us a landing [on the Fife coast]'. Once across, but throughout his Scottish campaign of summer 1650 to summer 1651. God was again looked to: 'The greatest part of the army is in Fife, waiting what way God will further lead us'. Firstly, Cromwell saw the Scottish campaign, at least in part, as motivated and justified by religious concerns. This attitude is seen most clearly in Thirdly, and following on from this belief, Cromwell portrayed all the Cromwell's earliest recorded major speech, that to the General Council of successes and victories of the Scottish campaign as the work of God, as the. Army in March 1649, in which he reviewed the threats posed by both evidence of the Lord's hand, and not as the fruit of mortal, secular activities Scotland and Ireland. He portrays Scotland as a menace to the ne~ly-won of English troops or of their commanders, including himself. He wrote thus religious liberties enjoyed in England and Wales and he portrays the Scottish to the Speaker of the English parliament about Dunbar: 'It hath now pleased people as unwilling to accept that, by crushing royalism in the late 1640s God to bestow a mercy upon you, worthy your knowledge, and of the and pushing through the regicide, the English army had been doing God's utmost praise and thanks of all that fear and love His name; yea, the mercy will and had shown itself to be God's chosen instrument: 'They that are is far above all praise'.

Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • Oliver Cromwell and the Regicides
    OLIVER CROMWELL AND THE REGICIDES By Dr Patrick Little The revengers’ tragedy known as the Restoration can be seen as a drama in four acts. The first, third and fourth acts were in the form of executions of those held responsible for the ‘regicide’ – the killing of King Charles I on 30 January 1649. Through October 1660 ten regicides were hanged, drawn and quartered, including Charles I’s prosecutor, John Cooke, republicans such as Thomas Scot, and religious radicals such as Thomas Harrison. In April 1662 three more regicides, recently kidnapped in the Low Countries, were also dragged to Tower Hill: John Okey, Miles Corbett and John Barkstead. And in June 1662 parliament finally got its way when the arch-republican (but not strictly a regicide, as he refused to be involved in the trial of the king) Sir Henry Vane the younger was also executed. In this paper I shall consider the careers of three of these regicides, one each from these three sets of executions: Thomas Harrison, John Okey and Sir Henry Vane. What united these men was not their political views – as we shall see, they differed greatly in that respect – but their close association with the concept of the ‘Good Old Cause’ and their close friendship with the most controversial regicide of them all: Oliver Cromwell. The Good Old Cause was a rallying cry rather than a political theory, embodying the idea that the civil wars and the revolution were in pursuit of religious and civil liberty, and that they had been sanctioned – and victory obtained – by God.

  • Year 8 History Homework
    History at Turton We study History to know where we come from, create our identity and share the collective memory that defines us. No (wo) man is an island and everyone is shaped by the world around them. History is over 2000 years of mistakes and progress, lessons learned and forgotten. Through the acquisition of historical knowledge we gain emancipation, and thus endeavour to avoid repeating mistakes, so the world can flourish. Name: Form: Teacher: In this booklet you will find all of your homework for Year 8 History. 1 Week 1 Due date: The Battle of Bosworth The Battle of Bosworth was fought on August 22nd 1485. Henry Tudor had marched with his force from Milford Haven in Wales where he had landed with about 2000 men. The Battle of Bosworth is one of England’s defining battles as it ended the reign of Richard III and led to Henry Tudor becoming Henry VII, the first of the Tudor monarchs, a dynasty that lasted to 1603 and included the reign of two of England’s most famous monarchs – Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I. To launch his campaign against Richard III, Henry needed money. This he got from Charles VIII of France who hoped that a conflict in England would suitably distract any attention away from his wish to take Brittany. Henry sailed from Harfleur on August 1st with a force of between 400 and 500 loyal followers and about 1500 French soldiers. The force landed at Milford Haven on August 7th and marched north along the Cardigan coastline before turning inland towards the Cambrian Mountains and then the River Severn which he followed to the English border.

In return, Charles I promised to support the covenants and establish Presbyterianism for 3 years. In July, The CoS General Assembly met to condemn the Engagement. 1648/1649 Charles I was condemned for treason and executed by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell became the “Protector of the Commonwealth.” His reign between kings was called the Interrregnum. He was a military dictator. He was an independent, and he put an end to the Presbyterian church government in the Church of England. 1649 The “Act of Classes:” excluded “Engagers” from service in either the government or army. This was passed by the Parliament. They would not allow covenant breakers in the government. Scotland was a Christian and Reformed nation; therefore, this religious filter was necessary. Some thought that the Act of Classes was too harsh, and it began a division within the covenanting movement, which ultimately led to the failure of the covenanters. 1650 The “Protectorate:” • After the death of Charles II, Scottish nobles, such as the Marquis of Argyle and James Guthrie, attempted to make Charles II king. They made Charles II publicly renounce Popery and Prelacy, and He had to profess adherence to the Solemn League and Covenant. He lied to Scotland and agreed to these terms. • Oliver Cromwell invaded Scotland and defeated the Scottish army at the Battle of Dunbar.
