Introduction INTRODUCTION. THE Stonor Family was certainly established at Stonor in Oxfordshire about five miles north of Henley early in the reign of Edward I, and no doubt derived its name from the place at which it has now had its home for over six centuries. The history of the family begins with Richard de Stonor, who about 1290 granted to Richard, his son and heir, and to Cicely, his, son's wife, a half virgate of land in. Bixbrand,1 a manor which was theh and long afterwards connected with Stonor. Richard the elder married Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir John de Harnhull.2 Of Richard the younger we know no more than the name of his wife, by whom he had two sons, John and Adam, and the bald fact that in 1291 he acquired some land at Goldore near Watlington.3 The elder son of Richard the younger was Sir John de Stonor, who was, with two intervals, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas for five and twenty years. He was the founder of the fortunes of his family and the most notable name in its history. Since he must have been of full age when he purchased the wardship of Thomas de la Hay at Henbury in 1307,4 and was a serjeant-at-law in 1313, he was probably born not later than 1285; and since he did not resign his office as Chief Justice till shortly before his death in 1354, it is not likely that the date of his birth was more than a few years earlier. During the early part of the reign of Edward II, John de Stonor occurs frequently as an advocate in the Year Books, and in 1313 he 1No. 1. 2 Pedigree ap.

On 24th September, 1314, he was appointed on a commission to inquire into allegations against the sheriffs in the counties of Gloucester, Here- ford, and Worcester.1 From 1316 onwards, he was employed on a variety of commissions relating to the ordinary administration of justice.2 A more import int service was his appointment on 26th June, 1319, as one of the justices to inquire into the alleged misgovernment of the Channel Islands under Otho' de Grandison; this inquiry was of long duration and of great importance for the constitutional history of the Islands.3 It marked the conclusion of Stonor's judicial apprenticeship, and had not been long completed when on 16th October, 1320, he was appointed one of the Justices of the Common Pleas.4 John de Stonor was no doubt a trusted official, who served without any political opinions of his own. No special significance can, therefore, be attached to his employment to pass judgment on the two Roger Mortimers in July, 1322, or to hold an inquiry concerning persons who had aided the King's rebels in the West Midlands in December, 13 23.° Nevertheless he must have been in the confidence of Edward II and his minister, Hugh le Despencer, for on 8th July, 1324 (before which date he had been knighted), he was one of those appointed to treat with the French King for a meeting, and for the surrender of the Castle of Mom- pezat in Gascony.6 He did not, however, leave England at this time, and his name appears in various commissions between July, 1324, and January, 1325. On 6th February, 1325, he was appointed with Arnold Gulilelmi de Byarn, William de Weston, and Peter de Galiciano to treat for marriages between the King's son and Eleanor, sister of Alfonso, King of Castile, and between Alfonso himself and the English princess, Eleanor, eldest daughter of Edward II.7 Stonor and his colleagues left England on 15 th February, and were at Valladolid in Easter-week (7th-i4th April), when he wrote home with news of their progress.8 Stonor's allowance for his expenses from 15th February to 27th August, on which day he returned to England, was at the rate of 6s. 8d. for each day at sea, and 13J. 4<£ for each day on land.9 During the last year of the reign of Edward II, Stonor continued in 1 Cal.

On 22nd February, 1329, Stonor was appointed Chief Baron of the Exchequer, but on 3rd September following, returned to the Common Pleas as Chief Justice.4 In 1330 he was employed on the trial of the adherents of the Earl of Kent.5 In spite of his close associa- tion with the government under Isabella and Mortimer, he continued in office as Chief Justice till 2nd March, 1331.6 His removal on that date can hardly have been political, for on 1st April he was appointed Second Justice.7 That he was not in disfavour is further shewn by the pardon granted to him on 25th June, 1331, in consideration of his services and expenses for the late and present king, of the yearly farm of 45/. in respect of the Manor of Ermington.8 On 16th July, 1334, he vacated his office as Justice of the Bench, but was still employed on various commissions till his reappointment on 7th July, 1335, as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.9 It was whilst he was out of office that the Prior of Christchurch, Canterbury, suggested that Stonor should be asked to accept the post of Seneschal of the Monastery, as one who was "prudent, well-known, and beloved amongst the great". In June, 1335, the archbishop informed the Prior that Sir John de Stonor, whilst expressing his goodwill, had for many reasons begged to be excused.10 The only important event of Stonor's later years was his implication in the ministerial crisis of 1340, when he was one of those who, on the King's sudden return from Flanders in November, were removed from office and committed to the Tower.11 But after a short imprisonment he was restored to his office on 9th May, 1342.12 He then held it without interruption till shortly before his death.

  • The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a Note on the Early Manorial History
    The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a note on the early manorial history . of the parish by E. A. GREENING LAMBORN ALTHOUGH representing one of the largest and most interesting collec­ ..r-\. tions of mediaeval coats to be found on any tomb in England, the arms on the Chaucer tomb at Ewelme have never been competently examined, so that the persons represented by them have been only partially, and sometimes incorrectly, identified. The most recent account of them, in the otherwise admirable notes on the church compiled by a late rector, is of little genealogical or heraldic value; and the account in the first volume of the Oxford Journal of Monumental Brasses is of no value at all : , Others to some faint meaning make pretence But Shadwell never deviates into sense.' its author's competence may be judged by his description of ' time-honoured Lancaster' as ' the Duke of Gaunt.' Sir Harris Nicolas, who wrote the Memoir prefixed to the Aldine Chaucer of 1845, realised that the solution of the problem was the construction of a pedigree; but the tree he drew up was quite inade­ quate for the purpose. The earliest record of the coats is in the notebook of Richard Lee, Port­ cullis, who sketched them for his Gatherings of Oxfordshire on his Visitation of the County in 1574. It is now in the Bodleian (Wood MS. D. 14), and a page of it, showing some of the shields on the Ewelme tombs, was reproduced in facsimile in the Harleian Society'S volume of the Visitations of Oxfordshire.

    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, 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. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.

  • Sarah L. Peverley a Tretis Compiled out of Diverse Cronicles (1440): A
    Sarah L. Peverley A Tretis Compiled out of Diverse Cronicles (1440): A Study and Edition of the Short English Prose Chronicle Extant in London, British Library, Additional 34,764 Sarah L. Peverley Introduction The short English prose chronicle extant in London, British Library, MS Additional 34,764 has never been edited or received any serious critical attention.1 Styled as ‘a tretis compiled oute of diuerse cronicles’ (hereafter Tretis), the text was completed in ‘the xviij yere’ of King Henry VI of England (1439–1440) by an anonymous author with an interest in, and likely connection with, Cheshire. Scholars’ neglect of the Tretis to date is largely attributable to the fact that it has been described as a ‘brief and unimportant’ account of English history, comprising a genealogy of the English kings derived from Aelred of Rievalux’s Genealogia regum Anglorum and a description of England abridged from Book One of Ranulph Higden’s Polychronicon.2 While the author does utilize these works, parts of the Tretis are nevertheless drawn from other sources and the combination of the materials is more sophisticated than has hitherto been acknowledged. Beyond the content of the Tretis, the manuscript containing it also needs reviewing. As well as being the only manuscript in which the Tretis has been identified to date, Additional 34,764 was once part of a (now disassembled) fifteenth- century miscellany produced in the Midlands circa 1475. The miscellany was 1 To date, the only scholar to pay attention to the nature of the text is Edward Donald Kennedy, who wrote two short entries on the chronicle (Kennedy 1989: 2665-2666, 2880-2881; 2010: 1).

  • The Lancastrian Retreate from Populist Discourse? Propaganda
    The Lancastrian Retreat from Populist Discourse? Propaganda Conflicts in the Wars of the Roses Andrew Broertjes University of Western Australia This article explores an aspect of the propaganda wars that were conducted between the Lancastrian and Yorkist sides during the series of conflicts historians refer to as the Wars of the Roses. I argue that by the end of the 1450s, the Lancastrians had abandoned the pursuit of the popular voice (“the commons”, “the people”), instead treating this group with suspicion and disdain, expressed primarily through documents such as the Somnium Vigilantis and George Ashby’s Active Policy of a Prince. This article examines how the Lancastrians may have had populist leanings at the start of their rule, the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, but moved away from such an approach, starting with the Jack Cade rebellion, and the various Yorkist uprisings of the 1450s. The composition of this group, “the people”, will also be examined, with the question being raised as to who they might have been, and why their support became a necessary part of the Wars of the Roses. In November 1459 what historians would later refer to as “the Parliament of Devils” met in Coventry.1 Convening after the confrontation between Yorkists and Lancastrians at Ludford Bridge, this parliament, consisting mainly of partisan Lancastrians, passed acts of attainder against the leading figures of the Yorkist faction.2 The Yorkists had already fled the country, retreating to Calais and Ireland, preparing for an extraordinary political comeback that would culminate in the coronation of Edward IV in March 1461.

EDMUND PLOWDEN' MASTER TREASURER OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE (1561-1570) RICHARD O'SULLIVAN D ENUO SURREXIT DOMUS: the Latin inscription high on the outside wall of this stately building announces and records the fact that in the year 1949, under the hand of our Royal Treasurer, Elizabeth the Queen, the Hall of the Middle Temple rose again and became once more the centre of our professional life and aspiration. To those who early in the war had seen the destruction of these walls and the shattering of the screen and the disappearance of the Minstrels' Gallery; and to those who saw the timbers of the roof ablaze upon a certain -midnight in March 1944, the restoration of Domus must seem something of a miracle. All these things naturally link our thought with the work and the memory of Edmund Plowden who, in the reign of an earlier Queen Elizabeth, devoted his years as Treasurer and as Master of the House to the building of this noble Hall.
