Fildes Dissertation submitted in part-fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of History, University of Sheffield March 2009 ABSTRACT This thesis is a prosopographical study of the English baronage during the reign of Richard II. It considers the role of barons within the political community and attempts to characterise them, both in terms of their engagement with institutions and by exploring private power relations. In the tradition of the political culture framework within which the study is situated, it seeks ultimately to determine the group’s motives. The first section explores structures, defining the baronage and tracing the historical development of the class. The stresses and concepts that moulded and distinguished the political culture are also set out. Three broad themes – politics, land and lordship - are then discussed in the second section. These endeavour to quantify and qualify the power and authority that were exercised by the 66 baronial families from the reign. In the political arena barons’ engagement with the apparatus of royal government, administration and justice are investigated, along with political favour and its rewards. The size and distribution of their landholding is then assessed and the strategies they employed for putting their estates together determined. The service they performed and received is afterwards discussed and the reasons for and benefits of it analysed. These broader themes are then enriched by a demonstration of the differences on the ground. In this third section two case studies, of the Gloucestershire and Sussex barons, revisit the same themes, but look in more detail at just the handful of resident barons in those counties. Finally, the different situations in the two sample localities are reconciled by deciphering the barons’ motives.

Like late medieval history in general, this work is much the poorer for that loss. My biggest debt of gratitude is to my supervisor Professor Mark Ormrod. Mark has been a constant friend, an accessible and wise counsellor and a patient teacher. I would also like to thank Professors Mike Braddick, Edmund King and Dan Power who admirably stepped into the breach and provided invaluable assistance and guidance during the difficult interlude. Chris Marks has long been a source of inspiration and played a large part in nurturing my early enthusiasm in the subject. Professor Nigel Saul gave me crucial encouragement and advice at the darkest time. Dr David Simpkin and the other researchers on the Soldier in Later Medieval England project were kind enough to convey to me some of their practices and data. Rob Kinsey has been a valued colleague and I would like to thank him for the information and ideas on the Thorpes that he has shared with me. On a personal note my strongest supporters have always been my family, particularly my parents Ray and Carol and my siblings David and Christine. Even my continual insistence on dragging them round visiting castles has not caused their abetment to wane. My nan and my extended family have also been very supportive. Close friends, from both Sheffield and Horsham, have sustained me throughout the journey. In particular I would like to thank Tully Monk, Lorna Pietras, Martha Riddiford and Steph Thomas; Fraser Bayes and Richie Berry; Matt Bevan and Leon Burton. The other postgraduates in the Department of History have been a constant source of stimulation and encouragement, especially Morn Capper, Vicky Chadderton, Geoff Little, Oli Pengelley, Matt Phillpott, Lou Radford, Gary Rivett, Simona Spedale-Latimer and Felicity Stout. I would also like to thank my colleagues at ASET and SES who have been good friends and welcome distraction over the years. These include Sarah Flynn, Amanda Monteiro, Tamsin Pyne, David Tattersall and John Wilson; Malcolm Brewer, Mary Harris and Alison Riggott. Others who I’ve neglected to individually name know who they are and know I’m grateful. iii INTRODUCTION The usurpation of Richard II by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke in 1399 was one of the most significant events in later medieval history. It brought to an end almost two hundred and fifty years of Plantagenet rule and would prove to be the genesis of the War of the Roses, which subsequently tore the country apart for much of the proceeding century. The events of the ‘Lancastrian Revolution’ have been well documented and traditional interpretation shows Richard II’s government being so unpopular that Bolingbroke was able to sweep to power on a wave of popular fervour.1 Although attempts have more recently been made to debunk some of the Lancastrian propaganda upon which many of these narratives are based, the transfer of loyalty by the political community was indisputably decisive.2 One aspect of the campaign which helps explain what tipped the political and military balance in favour of the pretender is the participation of members of the baronage. In the chronicles it is reported that when Bolingbroke landed in England in July 1399 he arrived with approximately 60-100 men.3 By the time he reached Bristol three weeks later his army is said to have swelled to about 6000 soldiers, as ‘wherever he went the number of people joining him kept on increasing’.4 This was not though a populist movement. Bolingbroke’s army, like Richard II’s, was made up of his personal retinue, and those of the nobles and upper gentry aligned to him. Although the Lancastrian affinity was itself the greatest of any lord in the kingdom at the time, the only other members of the titled nobility to ally with Bolingbroke at this point were the young earl of Arundel, who had joined him in exile, and the heads of the two great northern families, the earls of Northumberland and Westmorland, who joined him at Doncaster. Many of Richard II’s long-standing opponents among the titled nobility had been destroyed during his 1 C.

  • Conservation Profiles: Landowners Help
    n the three decades since the Endangered Species Act became law, we've become more aware of the crucial role landowners play as stewards of our country's natural resources. According to Precious Heritage, a report by The Nature Conservancy and the Association for Biodiversity Information (now NatureServe), two-thirds of the species federally listed as endangered or threatened have habitat on private land. Most landowners are good stewards of the land. They're not just reaping the benefits of the land; they also care about the land itself. The purpose of this brochure is to introduce some of the landowners who are using two innovative conservation tools: Safe Harbor Agreements and Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances. Although these tools only came into use within the last decade, and many landowners are not yet familiar with them, they already have demonstrated benefits for both landowners and imperiled species. A brief explanation of how these conservation tools work and how they can benefit landowners follows, but more can be learned about the agree- ments from the participating landowners themselves, a few of whom are profiled in this document. These pages introduce only a tiny segment of the diverse group of landowners currently participating in these programs.

  • The Church That Is Now Bristol Cathedral Was Originally An
    Bristol Cathedral – architectural overview Jon Cannon – Keeper of the Fabric Overview This paper briefly sets out the history of Bristol Cathedral, by summarising the key events and figures which have shaped its past, and by identifying the main architectural and artistic features of interest. Bristol cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Bristol and the heart of a diocese which, today, includes Bristol, and much of south Gloucestershire and northern Wiltshire, including Swindon. It stands on a site which has been sacred for a thousand years or more. Ancient origins The cathedral originated as an abbey on the edge of what was, in the twelfth century, a prosperous and growing merchant town. The knoll on which it stands appears to already have already been the site of a holy place: the cult of St Jordan, the legend of which, only attested in the fourteenth century, takes the story of site back to St Augustine of Canterbury and the earliest days of English Christianity, and the survival of a magnificent eleventh-century sculpted stone, now in the cathedral, is proof that a church of some kind predated the abbey. Foundation of the abbey began in 1140. Large portions of the resulting church – especially the remarkable chapter house -- survive to this day. The monastery was a daughter house of the Augustinian abbey of St- Victor in Paris though almost nothing is known of its earliest canons. For the next four hundred years it was, while never of dominant significance in the town, by some distance its largest religious institution, as well as being the most important Victorine house in England (and one of the wealthiest Augustinian houses of any kind).
