  • “Henry VIII, a Dazzling Renaissance Prince and the Great Matter”
    UNIVERSIDAD DE MAGALLANES FACULTAD DE HUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS SOCIALES Y DE LA SALUD Departamento de Educación “Henry VIII, a Dazzling Renaissance Prince and the Great Matter” By: Jessica Alvarado Guerrero Gustavo Leal Navarro Jimena Montenegro Gallardo Pablo Torres Barrientos Tutor: Alicia Triviño Punta Arenas- 2010 0 ABSTRACT As the title of this monograph suggests, this research focuses on King Henry VIII’s “Great Matter”, and how relevant it was to the whole process of the English Reformation covering a period of 17 years (1530-1547). Through this analysis, this work evidences the whole process of Reformation that England went through during the XVI century. As a result, the English Church becomes independent from the authority of the Pope. The main purpose of this investigation is to carefully examine the primary and secondary facts that prompted the separation from the Catholic Church on the grounds that the Henrician Reformation developed differently, in relation to the European process. Furthermore, this work intends to unveil the true nature of King Henry VIII’s character and the way his actions, way of living, beliefs and thoughts influenced on the separation of the Church and as a result lead to the Reformation era. After all, Henry VIII was one of the most controversial political figures of all times. The most important highlights in King Henry VIII’s life are presented in order to contextualize the reader to the conditions that conducted to the most striking changes that Catholic England had undergone. Together with Henry’s Great Matter, this work also presents a complete account of the King’s personal life, to make the reader understand the decisions made by Henry in critical times, covering from the relationships with his wives, mistresses, children to his medical records, controversial aspects in his life that for most historians turned him into a tyrant while for some other, one of the greatest English Kings ever.

  • Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton
    A Transformed Life? Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton. Despite the volume of scholarship dedicated to crusade motivation, comparative little has been said on how the crusades affected the lives of individuals, and how this played out once the returned home. Taking as a case study a Cheshire landholder, Geoffrey of Dutton, this article looks at the reasons for his crusade participation and his actions once he returned to Cheshire, arguing that he was changed by his experiences to the extent that he was concerned with remembering and conveying his own status as a returned pilgrim. It also looks at the impact of a relic of the True Cross he brought back and gave to the Augustinian priory of Norton. Keywords: crusade; relic; Norton Priory; burial; seal An extensive body of scholarship has considered what motivated people to go on crusade in the middle ages (piety, obligation and service, family connections and ties of lordship, punishment and escape), as well as what impact that had across Europe in terms of recruitment, funding and organisation. Far less has been said about the more personal impact of crusading for individuals who took part. This is largely due to the nature of the sources from which, according to Housley, ‘not much can be inferred…about the response of the majority of crusaders to what they’d gone through in the East.’1 With the exception of accounts of the post-crusading careers of the most important individuals, notably Louis IX of France, very little was written about how crusaders responded to taking part in an overseas campaign which mixed the height of spiritual endeavour with extreme violence.

  • William Marshal and Isabel De Clare
    The Marshals and Ireland © Catherine A. Armstrong June 2007 1 The Marshals and Ireland In the fall of 1947 H. G. Leaske discovered a slab in the graveyard of the church of St. Mary‟s in New Ross during the repair works to the church (“A Cenotaph of Strongbow‟s Daughter at New Ross” 65). The slab was some eight feet by one foot and bore an incomplete inscription, Isabel Laegn. Since the only Isabel of Leinster was Isabel de Clare, daughter of Richard Strongbow de Clare and Eve MacMurchada, it must be the cenotaph of Isabel wife of William Marshal, earl of Pembroke. Leaske posits the theory that this may not be simply a commemorative marker; he suggests that this cenotaph from St Mary‟s might contain the heart of Isabel de Clare. Though Isabel died in England March 9, 1220, she may have asked that her heart be brought home to Ireland and be buried in the church which was founded by Isabel and her husband (“A Cenotaph of Strongbow‟s Daughter at New Ross” 65, 67, 67 f 7). It would seem right and proper that Isabel de Clare brought her life full circle and that the heart of this beautiful lady should rest in the land of her birth. More than eight hundred years ago Isabel de Clare was born in the lordship of Leinster in Ireland. By a quirk of fate or destiny‟s hand, she would become a pivotal figure in the medieval history of Ireland, England, Wales, and Normandy. Isabel was born between the years of 1171 and 1175; she was the daughter and sole heir of Richard Strongbow de Clare and Eve MacMurchada.

  • Manuscript: “Sanctifying Rites in Milton's a Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634”
    Manuscript: “Sanctifying rites in Milton’s A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634”1 Published in Christianity & Literature 2019, Vol. 68(2) 193–212 Reading Stanley Fish’s chapters on Comus in How Milton Works is a hermeneutical challenge not unlike reading Milton himself. Fish’s picture of the Lady is the crux of his approach, and it is a picture whose edges seem to shift depending on the reader’s stance. This may be intentional, a portrayal of the “double perspective” which for Fish is the poem’s basic narrative technique: “The form of these questions is ‘either-or,’ but the answer in every case is ‘both-and’: the earth is both a pinfold and a gem, depending on whether you are tied to it by ‘low-thoughted care’ or live, at least in sprit, in ‘Regions mild of calm and serene Air’ (6, 4).”2 As such, misreading Fish may be identical to misreading Milton.3 So that the reader may judge, I want to begin by briefly developing what I understand to be Fish’s argument. Picking up at the point where Comus has immobilized the Lady and left her with nothing by way of outside support, Fish writes: “Yet, as it turns out, she is left with everything— everything that matters. This is what is meant when she says to Comus, ‘Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind’ (663), or, in other words, ‘All of this—my weakness, your strength, the entire situation as it seems to be—is beside the point. I may be imprisoned in every sense you can conceive, but in truth I am free.’”4 What primarily matters is how one inhabits Nature and the natural self; “Temperance, then, is a positive and liberating action” and Nature’s value “is a function of your relationship to it—a prison if you allow yourself to be confined within its 1 I am grateful to David Aers, Matthew Smith, and the anonymous readers and editorial staff of Christianity and Literature for their helpful input on earlier drafts of this essay.

    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
