  • Robert Dudley, 1St Earl of Leicester
    Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, KG (24 June mours that he had arranged for his wife’s death continued 1532 or 1533[note 1] – 4 September 1588) was an English throughout his life, despite the coroner’s jury's verdict of nobleman and the favourite and close friend of Elizabeth accident. For 18 years he did not remarry for Queen Eliz- I from her first year on the throne until his death. The abeth’s sake and when he finally did, his new wife, Lettice Queen giving him reason to hope, he was a suitor for her Knollys, was permanently banished from court. This and hand for many years. the death of his only legitimate son and heir were heavy blows.[2] Shortly after the child’s death in 1584, a viru- Dudley’s youth was overshadowed by the downfall of his family in 1553 after his father, the Duke of Northumber- lent libel known as Leicester’s Commonwealth was circu- land, had unsuccessfully tried to establish Lady Jane Grey lating in England. It laid the foundation of a literary and historiographical tradition that often depicted the Earl as on the English throne. Robert Dudley was condemned to [3] death but was released in 1554 and took part in the Battle the Machiavellian “master courtier” and as a deplorable of St. Quentin under Philip II of Spain, which led to his figure around Elizabeth I.

  • Galloping Onto the Throne: Queen Elizabeth I and the Symbolism of the Horse
    Heidegger 1 Galloping onto the Throne: Queen Elizabeth I and the Symbolism of the Horse University of California, San Diego, Department of History, Undergraduate Honors Thesis By: Hannah von Heidegger Advisor: Ulrike Strasser, Ph.D. April 2019 Heidegger 2 Introduction As she prepared for the impending attack of the Spanish Armada, Queen Elizabeth I of England purportedly proclaimed proudly while on horseback to her troops, “I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.”1 This line superbly captures the two identities that Elizabeth had to balance as a queen in the early modern period: the limitations imposed by her sex and her position as the leader of England. Viewed through the lens of stereotypical gender expectations in the early modern period, these two roles appear incompatible. Yet, Elizabeth I successfully managed the unique path of a female monarch with no male counterpart. Elizabeth was Queen of England from the 17th of November 1558, when her half-sister Queen Mary passed away, until her own death from sickness on March 24th, 1603, making her one of England’s longest reigning monarchs. She deliberately avoided several marriages, including high-profile unions with Philip II of Spain, King Eric of Sweden, and the Archduke Charles of Austria. Elizabeth’s position in her early years as ruler was uncertain due to several factors: a strong backlash to the rise of female rulers at the time; her cousin Mary Queen of Scots’ Catholic hereditary claim; and her being labeled a bastard by her father, Henry VIII.

    Journal of the Sydney Society for Scottish History Volume 15 May 2015 WHEN WAS THE SCOTTISH NEW YEAR? SOME UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS WITH THE ‘MOS GALLICANUS’, OR FRENCH STYLE, IN THE MID-SIXTEENTH CENTURY1 Elizabeth Bonner st N 1600 the 1 of January was ordained as the first day of the New I Year in Scotland. By this ordinance the Kingdom of Scotland joined the great majority of Western European kingdoms, states and territories who had, at various times during the sixteenth century, rationalized the reckoning of Time by declaring the 1st January as New Year’s Day.2 This article will examine, very briefly, the long history of the reckoning of Time as calculated in ancient western civilizations. During the sixteenth century, however, these calcula- tions were rationalised in the culmination of the political and religious upheavals of the Renaissance and Reformations in Western Europe. In Scotland, for a brief period under the influence of the French government from 1554 to 1560 during the Regency of Marie de Guise-Lorraine,3 and from 1561 to 1567 during the personal reign of her daughter Mary Queen of Scots, the mos Gallicanus, which recognised Easter Sunday as the first day of the New Year, was used in a great number of French official state documents, dispatches and correspondence. We will also note the failure by some past editors to recognise this change, which leaves the date of some important 1 I am most grateful to the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh for a visiting scholarship in 1995, where this work was first presented.

  • The English Entertainment for the French Ambassadors in 1564
    Early Theatre 14.1 (2011) C. Edward Mcgee The English Entertainment for the French Ambassadors in 1564 The Thynne family papers at Longleat House shed important new light on theatrical and musical performers and performances at the English court from late in the reign of Henry VIII until that of Charles I. One letter in the eight volumes of correspondence is particularly enlightening in this regard because of the detail with which it describes the entertainment of the French ambassadors when they came to England in 1564 to conclude the Treaty of Troyes. This account of the reception of the embassy from France is found in a letter, dated 9 June of that year, from William Honing to Sir John Thynne.1 Although we have long known that Elizabeth’s offices of the revels and the works produced masques and martial sports on this occasion, Honing’s let- ter provides new information about the prominent role Sir Robert Dudley played in the shows, the creative contribution of Richard Edwards, master of the Children of the Chapel Royal, and the performance — the earliest that has come to light so far — of Thomas Churchyard, the indefatigable soldier, poet, patron-seeker, and author/performer/producer of Elizabethan court shows. My main aim in this paper is to describe and contextualize the theatrical devices produced for the French embassy in 1564, for they illustrate several important aspects of the art and politics of occasional, elite drama at the court of Elizabeth I. To this end some examination of another early Elizabethan entertainment for ambassadors from France, that celebrat- ing the conclusion of the Treaty of Blois in 1572, is helpful.

CAMERON, M.A.(Glas.), Ph.D. (Edin.) EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1927 Printed in Great Britain CONTENTS INTRODUCTION vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS .... xxvi THE SCOTTISH CORRESPONDENCE OF MARY OF LORRAINE 1 INDEX . 449 INTRODUCTION The Scottish Correspondence of Mary of Lorraine, pre- served in the Register House at Edinburgh, includes some three hundred letters, dating from 20th February 1542-3 to 15th May 1560. It does not pretend to be a complete and rounded history of the period : rather, it is a quarry in which all kinds of historical investigators may find rich seams. The Correspondence, indeed, touches upon all aspects of the national life during critical and formative years of Scottish history. The unity in the midst of this diversity of interests is supplied by the central figure of Mary of Lorraine. Not all the letters are addressed to her, but, directly or indirectly, they all have a bearing upon her fortunes, and through her upon the destiny of the nation.1 The curtain rises upon a gloomy situation, and one, moreover, that was of international significance.
