  • York Clergy Ordinations 1510-1519 216
    YORK CLERGY ORDINATIONS 1510-1519 compiled by Claire Cross Borthwick List and Index 31 2002 © University of York, 2002 ISBN 0-903857-87-1 CONTENTS Introduction Abbreviations vii Alphabetical Register of Ordinands 1510-1519 Table of York Clergy Ordinations 1510-1519 216 Index 226 INTRODUCTION With a peak of 260 priests in 1510, way below the unprecedented figure of 446 regulars and seculars admitted to the priesthood in 1508, the number of men presenting themselves for ordination in the diocese of York from 1510 to 1519 never matched the level attained earlier in the sixteenth century. Though the annual total fluctuated between 260 and 184, there were only two years when it is known to have dipped below 200, and for the decade as a whole the region generated more than 2,200 new priests. Taking account the gap in the records, this produces an annual average of around 220 priests of whom about 40 were regulars and 180 seculars. Suffragan bishops conducted six ordination ceremonies virtually every year with around 150 acolytes, subdeacons, deacons and priests consecrated on each occasion, the candidates sometimes exceeding 200. All this suggests that ordinations had reached a steady state in this decade and provides few signs of any substantial decline. The situation at York parallels that of English dioceses of a similar size. At 172 the average annual total of secular priests being ordained in the diocese of Lincoln during Atwater's episcopate from 1515 to 1520 was almost identical with that at York. During Blythe's twenty-seven year tenure of the see of Coventry and Lichfield an average of 167 seculars were admitted to priest's orders each year.

  • St George's College, Windsor Castle, in the Late- Fifteenth and Early
    St George’s College, Windsor Castle, in the Late- Fifteenth and Early-Sixteenth Centuries Euan Cameron Roger Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London, September 2015 Department of History, Royal Holloway, University of London 1 I, Euan Cameron Roger, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Euan Cameron Roger Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis examines the royal college of St George, Windsor Castle, in the late- fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries. The thesis considers specific groups of individuals within the college, including canons, vicars, clerks and poor knights that resided within, and assesses how these groups interacted with one another. This discussion includes problems of individual wages, the college’s collective income, personal interactions and liturgical change. The thesis provides a community study of the college, and questions the extent to which St George’s was a coherent community. It argues that the college was a distinctive institution, which was able to adapt as fashions changed, but which was not perfect. The thesis makes use of the college’s extensive medieval archive at Windsor, supported by manuscripts from The National Archives and other repositories, and fills a substantial gap in the historiography of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century college. After setting out the college’s fourteenth-century foundations and historiography, five chapters consider different groups within the community. Chapters 1 and 2 investigate the secular canons who ran the college under the supervision of the dean or warden.

  • Of the Cardinal of York's Ambition, and of the Advice He Gave the King
    Book 1, chapter 4 Of the Cardinal of York’s Ambition, and of the Advice He Gave the King Concerning His Marriage1 One of the king’s confidants who came to know all this was Thomas Wolsey, a man bold and ambitious above all other men, whose life was much more like the Henry’s than the queen’s. Accordingly, he sought any opportunity to please the king, to harm the queen, and to advance his own interests. Wolsey was a man of low, menial birth, the son of a butcher (so some have written).2 Having entered the king’s household through deceit and cunning, he was ini- tially his chaplain, and then his almoner.3 Then he made himself rich with the rents of the bishopric of Tournai (which King Henry had taken from the king of France), and until at last he was made bishop—first of Lincoln, then of Dur- ham, then of Winchester and, at the same time, archbishop of York, the two richest sees.4 In the end, the king also made him chancellor of the realm, anal- ogous to what we call the president of the royal council of Castile, as well as arranging for the pope to make him a cardinal and legate a latere in England.5 Not content with this, he held numerous pensions and rich grants from the emperor and the king of France, as well as wealthy abbacies and church ben- efices, for King Henry favored him to the point of placing himself and his realm in his hands, neither deciding nor commanding anything without the word or hand of Wolsey.

  • THE COINAGE of HENRY VIII and EDWARD VI in HENRY's NAME (Continued) by C
    THE COINAGE OF HENRY VIII AND EDWARD VI IN HENRY'S NAME (continued) By C. A. WHITTON (c) CROWNS: SECOND COINAGE, 1526-44 (PI. VIII) THE decision in 1526 to make gold coins of 22 ct. was destined to become historic. It was forced on Henry by the competition of foreign gold which had been current in this country since Chaucer's day and no doubt earlier. In Henry's time these rival pieces were chiefly French crowns and Spanish ducats. His first answer to them was the Crown of the Rose of 23 ct. valued at 4s. 6d., which failed, but the Crown of the Double Rose of 22 ct. valued at 5s. was completely suc- cessful. The new coin was to play an important part in the evolution of our gold coinage and in the final supersession of the old angel and noble. The illustrations of these coins (PI. VIII) based on Brooke's arrange- ment of them almost explain themselves. I have purposely displayed the obverse and reverse of the Crown of the Rose to show that this coin virtually corresponds in both type and legend with the Crown of the Double Rose, save that in the latter the king's name is omitted on the shield side. This is why the shield side, the obverse on the Crown of the Rose, came to be called the reverse on the Crown of the Double Rose. It was perhaps intended that on both coins the shield side, as on the French prototype, should remain the obverse, for Chaucer's Merchant knew the French coins as "shields though they were later called crowns—ecus a la couronne and so couronnes.

  • John Christopherson's Plutarch and the Mid-Tudor Politics of Catholic
    How to Hold Your Tongue: John Christopherson’s Plutarch and the Mid-Tudor Politics of Catholic Humanism Andrew Taylor 411 Churchill College, Cambridge If Renaissance humanists pursued eloquence, those who wished to offer their learn- ing and gift of tongues to the powerful did well to convince them of discretion’s part in speaking appositely. Keeping one’s mouth shut, or the disastrous consequences of failing to do so, is richly explored in Euripides’s Bacchae and other plays. The Greek tragedian’s sententious utterances on the subject were drawn upon by Plutarch when he composed his essay ‘On Talkativeness’ (Peri adoleschias / De garrulitate). Erasmus, who translated Euripides before moving on to Plutarch, drew heavily on De garruli- tate, as well as the Book of Sirach and the Pauline Epistles, in developing his Lingua (1525). This owed its length, and possibly its popularity, to Erasmus’s disproportion- ate treatment of the malicious tongue, a reflection of his recent troubles. His prefatory epistle identifies this diseased ‘affliction of the unbridled tongue’ as threatening ‘the total ruin and destruction of the liberal arts, good morals, civic harmony, and the authority of the leaders of the church and the princes of the realm alike’ (Collected Works of Erasmus [CWE] 29: 259-60). Plutarch, in De garrulitate as elsewhere in the Moralia, offered an appeallingly rich and urbane encounter with the works of clas- sical antiquity, especially Greek. Moreover, the length of his moral essays, as with the individual lives in the Vitae Parallelae, made both the more attractive as works to package and present in translation to those of influence who might reflect on the counsel they offered, as well as on the interests of the learned donor.
