  • 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.

To Keep His Subjects Low: A Machiavellian Interpretation of Henry VII John Clinton Harris When Henry Tudor became Henry VII on August 22, 1485, following his victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field, many believed the anarchic course of English politics would continue unabated. The Wars of the Roses had gone on for thirty years, a period so long that intrigue, murder, and military force were now common political tools. Furthermore, there was no outward indication that Bosworth would be the last great political upheaval in the conflict; the new king was a twenty-eight year old former exile to the French court who had asserted his royal claim with nothing more than what his rival Richard III sneeringly called “a nomber of beggarly Britons and faynte harted Frenchmen.”1 The victory had only been achieved due to the fractured and distrustful state of English politics, and many, commoner and noble alike, probably wondered how long the young upstart would last before he was killed and replaced after sitting upon a bloody throne of his own.

    Four Weddings and a Conspiracy: The Life, Times and Loves of Lady Katherine Gordon . Part 1 WENDY E.A. MOORHEN The Gordon family has made innumerable appearances in British history over many centuries. Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon and his wife survived the Titanic disaster in 1912, George, fourth earl of Aberdeen became prime minister dur- ing the Crimean War, another George led the Gordon Riots in 1780. The family lent its name to a country-dance and a highland regiment formed during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Sir Alexander Gordon was the fatally wounded senior aide-de-camp to the duke of Wellington at the battle of Waterloo and his distant cousin, Charlotte Gordon, Duchess of Richmond, entertained the duke and his staff at the famous ball on the eve of the battle. A contemporary of Alexander and Charlotte was the poet Lord George Gordon Byron, a descendant of William Gordon of Gight, who was a younger son of George Gordon, second earl of Huntly. Lesser known is Huntly’s daughter, Lady Katherine who became known as The White Rose of Scotland and whose life was as romantic and daring as any of her distinguished family.l Lady Katherine is of interest to Ricardians because she married the man who for six years posed a dangerous threat to Henry VII’s kingship, the pre- tender Perkin Warbeck.2 She is perhaps unique, in being one of the few women who lived in all four countries that form Britain, albeit her stay in Ireland was of a short duration. Although she never directly effected history, Lady Katherine was on the periphery of important events in both Scotland and England due to her family relationships, her marriages and position at the English court.

Using sources representative of the nascent print culture, the Calendar of State Papers , the Letters and Papers of Henry VIII , and Journals from the House of Commons, this project argues that contrary to prior historical analysis of Britain, empire, and English imperialism that British identity in the sixteenth century became a collaborative process which included both Scots and English.

  • Child's History of England,A
    A Child's History of England CHAPTER I - ANCIENT ENGLAND AND THE ROMANS IF you look at a Map of the World, you will see, in the left-hand upper corner of the Eastern Hemisphere, two Islands lying in the sea. They are England and Scotland, and Ireland. England and Scotland form the greater part of these Islands. Ireland is the next in size. The little neighbouring islands, which are so small upon the Map as to be mere dots, are chiefly little bits of Scotland, - broken off, I dare say, in the course of a great length of time, by the power of the restless water. In the old days, a long, long while ago, before Our Saviour was born on earth and lay asleep in a manger, these Islands were in the same place, and the stormy sea roared round them, just as it roars now. But the sea was not alive, then, with great ships and brave sailors, sailing to and from all parts of the world. It was very lonely. The Islands lay solitary, in the great expanse of water. The foaming waves dashed against their cliffs, and the bleak winds blew over their forests; but the winds and waves brought no adventurers to land upon the Islands, and the savage Islanders knew nothing of the rest of the world, and the rest of the world knew nothing of them. It is supposed that the Phoenicians, who were an ancient people, famous for carrying on trade, came in ships to these Islands, and found that they produced tin and lead; both very useful things, as you know, and both produced to this very hour upon the sea-coast.
