OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

    LA INTERVENCIÓN DE INOCENCIO III EN LA POLÍTICA MATRIMONIAL DE FELIPE AUGUSTO DE FRANCIA Y ALFONSO IX DE LEÓN Fecha de recepción: 2 de octubre de 2016 / Fecha de aceptación: 18 de octubre de 2016 Laura García Durán Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Resumen: En el presente trabajo nos vamos a centrar en el análisis de la proyección del poder de Inocencio III en las cuestiones matrimoniales de Felipe Augusto de Francia y Alfonso IX de León. Inocencio se enfrentó a estos reyes porque no podía permitir que en el Occidente europeo existiesen monarcas cuyas uniones fuesen reprochables a ojos de sus súbditos, pues eran bígamos o guardaban lazos de consanguinidad en menos del cuarto grado con sus cónyuges. Inocencio conocía bien la doctrina canónica y manifestó una voluntad especial de aplicarla a la persona del rey sin importarle atentar contra los derechos de los soberanos de Francia y León, sobre los que pesó la sombra de la excomunión y del interdicto (siete años en el caso leonés, y durante dos décadas en el francés), un dilema con el cual los monarcas osaron oponerse a Roma. Asimismo, nos permite conocer la relación que tuvo Inocencio con Felipe y Alfonso, para establecer así diferencias y semejanzas entre ambos casos. Palabras clave: Inocencio III, Felipe Augusto, Alfonso IX, Ingeborg de Dinamarca, Berenguela de Castilla, matrimonios, anulación, interdicto, excomunión. Abstract: In this paper we shall focus on the analysis of Innocent III’s power over Philip Augustus and Alfonso IX’s marital issues. Innocent challenged these kings because he could not allow Western monarchs to maintain marital unions which could be censurable in the eyes of his subjects since they were bigamous or had consanguinity ties below the fourth degree.

    WALES AND THE WARS OF THE ROSES CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS C. F. CLAY, Manager ILcinfcott: FETTER LANE, E.C. EBmburgfj: 100 PRINCES STREET §& : WALES AND THE WARS OF THE ROSES BY HOWELL T. EVANS, M.A. St John's College, Cambridge Cambridge at the University Press 1915 : £ V*. ©amtrrtrge PRINTED BY JOHN CLAY, M.A. AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS PREFACE AS its title suggests, the present volume is an attempt to ** examine the struggle between Lancaster and York from the standpoint of Wales and the Marches. Contemporary chroniclers give us vague and fragmentary reports of what happened there, though supplementary sources of informa- tion enable us to piece together a fairly consecutive and intelligible story. From the first battle of St Albans to the accession of Edward IV the centre of gravity of the military situation was in the Marches : Ludlow was the chief seat of the duke of York, and the vast Mortimer estates in mid-Wales his favourite recruiting ground. It was here that he experienced his first serious reverse—at Ludford Bridge; it was here, too, that his son Edward, earl of March, won his way to the throne—at Mortimer's Cross. Further, Henry Tudor landed at Milford Haven, and with a predominantly Welsh army defeated Richard III at Bosworth. For these reasons alone unique interest attaches to Wales and the Marches in this thirty years' war; and it is to be hoped that the investigation will throw some light on much that has hitherto remained obscure. 331684 vi PREFACE I have ventured to use contemporary Welsh poets as authorities ; this has made it necessary to include a chapter on their value as historical evidence.

  • The Civil War of 1459 to 1461 in the the Welsh Marches: Part 2 the Campaign and Battle of Mortimer's Cross – St Blaise's Day, 3 February 1461 by Geoffrey Hodges
    The Civil War of 1459 to 1461 in the the Welsh Marches: Part 2 The Campaign and Battle of Mortimer's Cross – St Blaise's Day, 3 February 1461 by Geoffrey Hodges Recounting the bloodless battle of Ludford is relatively simple, as it is well documented. A large royal army was involved, with a fair amount of material resulting for official records and for the London chroniclers. The battle of Mortimer's Cross, however, was fought when all attention in the south-east of the kingdom was taken up by the advance of the Queen's ravaging hordes on London. The activities of Edward, Earl of March are wrapped in much obscurity; it is not at all clear what happened between the passing of the act of accord on 29 November 1460 (making the Duke of York heir to Henry VI), and the meeting between Edward and the Earl of Warwick in the Cotswolds on about 22 February 1461 -except, of course, the battle of Mortimer's Cross itself. One cannot be dogmatic about any link in this chain of events, but it is surely one of the most extraordinary stories in the annals of England and Wales, and well worth attempting to piece together. Activities of the Adversaries before the Battle What Edward's adversary, Jasper Tudor, was doing in the same period is no more certain, but it is fairly clear that, after the defeat and capture of Henry VI at Northampton on 10 July 1460, Queen Margaret fled from Coventry into Wales. Gregory says that she made first for Harlech, 'and there hens she remevyd fulle prevely unto the Lorde Jesper, Lorde and Erle of Penbroke, … ‘, who was probably at Pembroke Castle.1 Jasper seems to have grasped the strategic importance of Milford Haven as the only Welsh harbour equally accessible from France, Ireland and Scotland.2 It looks as though he and the queen (his sister-in-law and distant cousin) now planned the royalist response to the Yorkist victory; his duty would be to prepare and lead against the Yorkists in the middle Marches of Wales an expedition whose starting point would be Pembroke.

    To THOMAS PENNANT 23 JUNE 1782 19 To THOMAS PENNANT, Sunday 23 June 1782 Printed for the first time from the MS now WSL. For the history of the MS see ante 25 May 1773. Address: To Thomas Pennant Esq. at Downing, Flintshire. Postmark: 24 IV. Strawberry Hill, June 23, 1782. I GIVE you many thanks, dear Sir, for the new order for the prints,1 which I have received from Mr White, and for your kind inten­ tions about Dr Nash, who I do not doubt forgot what he was [so] good as to intend for me, and which I shall at any time receive with gratitude. I wish I could tell you any anecdotes of Queen Catherine2 and Owen Tudor. On the contrary I must expect some from you. Their story is certainly very obscure. I think I have read in some authors that he was beheaded during the Wars of the Roses;3 and in another, at least, though I forget where, that it was his son of both his names.** Such a son, I suppose, was by a former or later wife,s for Owen's sons by the Queen, if I recollect rightly, were Edmund of Hadham6 and Jasper Duke of Bedford.? I should think there must be some traces of that descent in the Herald's office; your countrymen, and I may call them mine by the Philipps's,8 were not wont to be careless of their genealogies. It is a point worth scrutinizing. mentioned that it is also supposed to Tudor (d.

  • ISABEL DE BEAUMONT, DUCHESS of LANCASTER (C.1318-C.1359) by Brad Verity1
    THE FIRST ENGLISH DUCHESS -307- THE FIRST ENGLISH DUCHESS: ISABEL DE BEAUMONT, DUCHESS OF LANCASTER (C.1318-C.1359) by Brad Verity1 ABSTRACT This article covers the life of Isabel de Beaumont, wife of Henry of Grosmont, Duke of Lancaster. Her parentage and chronology, and her limited impact on the 14th century English court, are explored, with emphasis on correcting the established account of her death. It will be shown that she did not survive, but rather predeceased, her husband. Foundations (2004) 1 (5): 307-323 © Copyright FMG Henry of Grosmont (c.1310-1361), Duke of Lancaster, remains one of the most renowned figures of 14th century England, dominating the military campaigns and diplomatic missions of the first thirty years of the reign of Edward III. By contrast, his wife, Isabel ― the first woman in England to hold the title of duchess ― hides in the background of the era, vague to the point of obscurity. As Duke Henry’s modern biographer, Kenneth Fowler (1969, p.215), notes, “in their thirty years of married life she hardly appears on record at all.” This is not so surprising when the position of English noblewomen as wives in the 14th century is considered – they were in all legal respects subordinate to their husbands, expected to manage the household, oversee the children, and be religious benefactresses. Duchess Isabel was, in that mould, very much a woman of her time, mentioned in appropriate official records (papal dispensation requests, grants that affected lands held in jointure, etc.) only when necessary. What is noteworthy, considering the vast estates of the Duchy of Lancaster and her prominent social position as wife of the third man in England (after the King and the Black Prince), is her lack of mention in contemporary chronicles.
