Edward 1 Had Erected 12 Crosses Between 1291 and 1294 in Memory APPENDIX A BOROUGH OF BROXBOURNE ROYAL CONNECTIONS Plantagenets (1154-1485) Edward 1 had erected 12 crosses between 1291 and 1294 in memory of his wife Queen Eleanor of Castille, to mark the overnight resting stops of the funeral cortege on route to Westminster Abbey. Today, only three of the twelve Eleanor Crosses survive, one is within the Borough’s town of Waltham Cross. The cross was the work of Senior Royal mason Roger of Crundale and leading sculptor Alexander of Abingdon. The Lancastrians The Yorkists Sir John Say was Speaker of the House of Commons and former member of the Royal Household, including King’s Sergeant, Yeoman of the Chamber and Keeper of the Privy Palace of Westminster. His great-grand-daughter was Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII (and so Sir John Say was the great-great-grand-father of King Edward VI). Sir John Say held the manor of Baas, Mareons and Halles in Broxbourne and Perers in Cheshunt. He and his wife Elizabeth are buried in St Augustines Church, Broxbourne. Tudors (1485-1603) Queen Elizabeth lived for a time at Sir Anthony Denny's house at Cheshunt (former advisor to King Henry VIII) before she came to the throne. Here she was tutored by Roger Ascham. Henry VIII and Elizabeth I’s closest political advisors, including Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Anthony Denny and William Cecil, Lord Burghley owned important estates in the area. The former magnificent Royal Palace, Theobalds Palace was built by William Cecil in the 1500s. William Cecil, Later Lord Burghley, was Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth I. Cecil also held the manors of Broxbourne and Hoddesdon and the queen visited him at Theobalds at least 14 times before his death in 1598. John Borrell was Sergeant-at-Arms to Henry VIII, John owned The Star in Hoddesdon later known as The Salisbury Arms. (Borrell Close in Broxbourne may be named after him?) John Cock who had been acting as bailiff for the Broxbornebury estate died in 1557 and his son who succeeded him was appointed Keeper of the Wardrobe to Queen Elizabeth I, by whom he was later knighted. He held his appointment after the accession of King James I. Stuarts (1603-1714) A favoured residence of James I was Theobalds Palace (the remains located in Cedars Park, Cheshunt). By the early 1620s, James had enclosed the estate of Theobalds within a ten mile brick wall encompassing a menagerie for his collection of wild animals, including falcons, an elephant and five camels. Five years later, James fell violently ill whilst staying at Theobalds. He died at the palace on the morning of Sunday 27 March, 1625. Following the death of James I, his son received the nobles in audience and was immediately proclaimed at the gates of the Palace as Charles the First King of England. Although Charles I generally preferred London or Windsor he often visited Theobalds. Since the country was run from wherever the King and the court was Theobalds was often the centre of power in England for over 20 years. King James I visited Marmaduke Rawdon of Rawdon House Hoddesdon on several occasions and also Broxbournebury on his journey from Scotland to London in 1603. In 1683, Rye House Gatehouse became the centre of a notorious plot to assassinate King Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York (later James II). The plotters were Protestant members of the Whig party, many of whom still had republican sympathies from the time of Oliver Cromwell. They were alarmed at Charles’ support for France and other Catholic monarchies, as well as James’ recent conversion to Catholicism. Hanoverians (1714-1901) Landscape Designers James Pulham & Son were based in Broxbourne. The firm was awarded its first Royal Warrant for the work they did on Sandringham Royal Estate in 1868. The boathouse and rock cliffs overlooking the upper lake at Sandringham was one of his most important commissions. Saxe-Coburg Gotha (1901-1917) Windsor (1917-present) James Pulham & Son received their second Royal Warrant in 1903-04 for the rockwork they did on ‘The Mound’ and around the lake at Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother visited Rochford’s Nurseries in 1959 and had tea at Rochford’s sports ground at Turnford. Bishops College celebrated its golden jubilee in 1959 and Princess Margaret was guest of honour. Princess Margaret then returned again in 1977 the year of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, this time to visit Goffs Oak School. .

To our admiration of true greatness naturally succeeds some curiosity as to the means by which such distinction has been attained. The subject of " the School-days of Eminent Persons," therefore, promises an abundance of striking incident, in the early buddings of genius, and formation of character, through which may be gained glimpses of many of the hidden thoughts and secret springs by which master-minds have moved the world. The design of the present volume may be considered an ambitious one to be attempted within so limited a compass ; but I felt the incontestible facility of producing a book brimful of noble examples of human action and well-directed energy, more especially as I proposed to gather my materials from among the records of a country whose cultivated people have advanced civilization far beyond the triumphs of any nation, an- cient or modern.

This dissertation argues that dedications, and the negotiations that accompanied them, reveal both contemporary perceptions of how statecraft, religion, and gender were and the political maneuvering attempting to influence how they ought to be. In particular, this dissertation provides a case study of these textual negotiations as they related to Queen Mary I. The fact that Mary received eighteen manuscript dedications and thirty-three printed book dedications shows that even by the middle of the sixteenth century manuscripts and print competed for value and prestige among patrons.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. This thesis evaluates cultural constructs of the courtier in Elizabethan England. It focuses particularly on Castiglione’s Book of the Courtier. The Courtier is generally recognised as one of the most influential texts in Renaissance Europe. It was originally published in Venice in 1528; the first English translation was produced by Thomas Hoby in 1561. This thesis aims to provide an integrated analysis of Castiglione’s contribution to English political culture throughout the second half of the sixteenth century. It considers the circumstances in which Hoby translated the Courtier, and his motives for doing so. It identifies two distinct models of courtliness delineated by the Urbino interlocutors, and assesses the extent to which these models influenced the self-presentation of leading Elizabethan politicians.

  • Politics and War Dr Steven Gunn Fellow and Tutor in History Merton College, Oxford
    Politics and War Dr Steven Gunn Fellow and Tutor in History Merton College, Oxford Politics in Henry VIII’s England was much like politics anywhere else. It was a sordid struggle for power, wealth and glory. It was a high-minded quest to serve the public good through constructive, even visionary, policies. And the skulduggery and the statesmanship were inextricably mixed. By 1543 Henry had decided to rule without a chief minister. The first half of his reign had been dominated by Cardinal Wolsey. His partnership with Henry had freed the king from the nannying of his father’s surviving councillors. It had given him the place he craved among the great powers of Europe and a raft of initiatives to give his subjects better justice and soften the effects of social and economic change. But it had failed to deliver the divorce Henry needed so he could marry again and secure the succession with a son. Thomas Cromwell followed in the 1530s. He gave Henry supremacy over the church, lavish wealth confiscated from the monasteries and, in a tightly- managed parliament, the instrument to achieve seemingly whatever policy the king could desire. Queens came and went and Henry got his heir, Prince Edward, born in 1537 to heartfelt national rejoicing. But the entwining politics of religious change, international tension and a failed marriage to Anne of Cleves broke Henry’s confidence in Cromwell and the minister ended on the block. Now Henry governed through a privy council twenty or so strong. It featured great noblemen ripe in experience. The dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, for example, had led Henry’s armies since his first forays into France.

  • She Will Not Be a Mother: Evaluating the Seymour Prince Tudor Hypothesis
    Brief Chronicles Vol. III (2011) 169 She Will Not Be a Mother: Evaluating the Seymour Prince Tudor Hypothesis Bonner Miller Cutting wo theories, called the Prince Tudor hypotheses, have generated much debate in authorship discussions. The release of the film Anonymous in the Tfall of 2011 is likely to bring more attention to these questions. Of the two hypotheses, the one most often put forth holds that Queen Elizabeth had a son with the 17th Earl of Oxford. The child of this liaison was placed with the Southampton family to be raised as an Earl’s son and educated in a privileged environment suitable to one who might ultimately become heir to the throne of England.1 In the other theory, it is posited that Queen Elizabeth in her youth had a child with Thomas Seymour, the Lord Admiral of England. According to this hypothesis, the child was placed in the household of the 16th Earl of Oxford where he was raised as an Earl’s son and received the benefits of a privileged upbringing befitting a royal prince.2 In both of these theories, this proposed child would have royal parentage, thus they are known as “Prince Tudor” or PT theories. There is some confusion in the nomenclature of the PT theories, heretofore known as PT I and PT II theories, and this confusion has worsened with the advent of something known as the “Double PT Theory” which combines both theories.3 For the purposes of clarity, in this paper the scenarios will be referred to as the “Seymour PT Theory” and the “Southampton PT Theory” respectively.

  • Thomas Geminus's
    Mapping the Marriage: Thomas Geminus’s “Britanniae Insulae Nova Descriptio” and “Nova Descriptio Hispaniae” (1555)1 Alexander Samson University College London La représentation du mariage et de la co-monarchie de Philippe et Marie exprimée dans deux cartes géographiques de l’emigré flamant Thomas Geminus, produites en 1555, sou- tient les aspirations des Habsbourgs dans ce nouveau royaume, dans le but calculé d’attirer le mécénat d’un monarque qui avait un intérêt bien connu pour la cartographie. Malgré le fait que sa carrière, ses relations et ses associés suggèrent qu’il était un protestant engagé, plusieurs raisons l’ont probablement conduit à entreprendre ce projet, une de ces raisons étant au premier chef son statut d’étranger. Ses deux cartes géographiques démontrent que ses convictions religieuses n’ont pas exclu d’emblée sa participation et sa collaboration avec le gouvernement de Marie. En fait, la présence espagnole en Angleterre s’est avérée un stimulant important des entreprises coloniales anglaises, et plusieurs protestants ont profités des connaissances géographiques insurpassées des Habsbourgs. À travers une meilleure connaissance du contexte de la production des cartes géographiques, de ses emplois et de ses modes d’exposition, il est possible de mieux comprendre comment ces cartes reflètent les contours changeant des relations politiques, économiques et culturelles entre l’Espagne et l’Angleterre, exprimant ainsi les volontés politiques et la tolérance qui ont caractérisé les débuts du règne de Philippe comme roi d’Angleterre. n 1555 the publisher and engraver Thomas Geminus celebrated the recent marriage Iof Philip II and Mary Tudor, and the union of their kingdoms, by dedicating maps of England and Spain (see figures 1 and 2) to the newlywed royal couple.2 These beautiful, luxurious objects no doubt played a part in Philip’s efforts to present himself as an English king, projecting a Catholic, English patriotism, embodied visually in a re-Catholicized England.

  • 1 Lecture Henry VIII's Will and the Politics of Succession John P. Bryson This Lecture Was Co-Sponsored by the Selden Society
    Lecture Henry VIII’s Will and the Politics of Succession John P. Bryson 7 11 19 JPB This Lecture was co-sponsored by the Selden Society and The Francis Forbes Society for Australian Legal History and was read in the Banco Court, Law Courts Building Queens Square Sydney on 6 November 2019. 1. Henry VIII’s Will of 30 December 1546, a valid Will under the law of his time, is important to History because he attempted to bar or postpone any entitlement of his Scottish relatives the House of Stuart to the Crown of England. He failed in this as History shows: the theme of this lecture is that he also failed in Law and his Will did not change anybody’s entitlement to the Crown. The Will is also important to History because it appointed the Councillors who conducted government in Edward VI’s minority. It also disposed of a great deal of property. 2. In exercise of authority Henry was inconstant in affections and in friendships, deceiving in charm and in business, untrusting, untrustworthy, acquisitive, dishonest, confused, fearful, treacherous, murderous, intensely and erratically religious, fierce in hatreds, beset by irrational suspicions, and also beset by rational suspicions flowing from his many cruel injustices and from bitter grievances held by people close and far. It was his disposition to see conduct and events in terms of hostility and personal danger. He was bodily gross, chronically ill, recurringly acutely ill, and distracted by pain, These are context of Henry’s last year of kingship and life. The writer will not mention them much more, but they were there in everything.
