Scott has suggested that the major illustrations were probably allotted to three different artists. Their purpose is to reinforce the legitimacy of Edward IV's kingship through his ancestry, through his prowess as a warrior, and through divine approbation, and their audience appears to have been the nobility and gentry whose opinions could influence and shape "public opinion. By the middle of the fifteenth century the Brut Chronicle had become firmly entrenched as a combination of Geoffrey of Monmouth's History and genealogical updates by various continuators.

  • Black British History Tudors & Stuarts Ad 1485 - 1714
    A TIMELINE OF BLACK BRITISH HISTORY TUDORS & STUARTS AD 1485 - 1714 The Tudor and Stuart periods saw monumental change in the relationship between Europe and their continental neighbours. As the period begins, we see evidence of integrated societies at different levels of local and national life. By the close, Britain is embarked on a frenzied mission to extend their colonial reach and primed to step into an industrial revolution, powered by the outrageous wealth accumulation made possible by the triangular slave trade. THE COURT OF JAMES IV AD 1488 - 1513 King James IV Scotland had numerous qualities and successes; he united the highlands and lowlands; he created a Scottish navy; and maintained alliances with France and England. It is clear that he was also something of a forerunner in regards multi-culturalism. Records show that many black people were present at the court of James IV – servants yes but also invited guests and musicians. Much of what we know comes from the royal treasurers accounts which show that James’ purse paid wages and gifts to numerous ‘moors’. African drummers and choreographers were paid to perform, to have instruments repainted, or bought horses to accompany James on tour. The records also show black women present being gifted clothing, fabric and large sums of money. CATALINA & CATALINA AD 1501 In 1501 ‘la infant’ Catalina, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, arrived in Plymouth to begin a new life in England. She came from one royal household and was travelling in preparation to be married into another, the fledgling Tudor dynasty. She was promised to Arthur, heir to the English throne.

  • The Great Historical Scenes Enacted in Lancaster's First Court House, 1739-1784
    The Great Historical Scenes Enacted in Lancaster's First Court House, 1739-1784. It is my purpose to draw forth and exhibit before you, in their chronologi- cal order, for a little while, this after- noon, a few pictures from the archives, the ancient records and treasuries of our county's primitive days. So strange and grotesque will some of them be that they will stand forth like crea- tures of imagination, and seem not to be founded on fact at all. Some will bear such immediate and important re- lations to our great country's strug- gles and growth as to make it diffi- cult to conceive that the events set forth in them ever occurred in modest little Lancaster town; and all of them, when set down on the real stage where the stormy events recorded in them happened, not more than 600 feet from where we stand, in the now busy, surging, centre of our active city, all of them, when thus quietly set in order, there, where, from 165 to 120 years ago, they were produced, in- vested with their strange men, strange manners, strange dress, quaint, scat- tered dwellings, and modest little red brick building and theatre, where it was all enacted, will entirely displace the new and statlier scenes that claim that stage to-day; will annihilate the 165 years that intervene between us and those memorable times; and will stand out, not as something of past and distant ages and of remote rela- tionship to us, but as scenes of the present and part and parcel of our very community life.

EVE BTBATSFORD, 94 HIGH HOLBORN LONDON I907 Bctlkr & Tanner, The Selwood Printing ^Vobks, Frome, and London. 1GC0718 P r e fa c e THE intention of this book is to assist the workers in the many arts that are concerned with heraldry, in varying degrees, by putting before them as simply as possible the essential principles of heraldic art. In this way it is hoped to contribute to the improve- ment in the treatment of heraldry that is already evident, as a result of the renewed recognition of its ornamental and historic importance, but which still leaves so much to be desired. It is hoped that not only artists but also those who are, or may become, interested in this attractive subject in other ways, will find herein some helpful information and direction. So that the work of the artist and the judgment and appreciation of the public may alike be furthered by a knowledge of the factors that go to make up heraldic design and of the technique of various methods of carrying it into execution. To this end the illustrations have been selected from a wide range of subjects and concise descriptions of the various processes have been included. And although the scope of the book cannot include all the methods of applying heraldry, in Bookbinding, Pottery and Tiles for example, the principles that are set forth will serve ;; VI PREFACE all designers who properly consider the capabilities and limitations of their materials.

Revising Mary Queen of Scots: from Protestant Persecution to Patriarchal Struggle Abstract Since Mary Queen of Scots’ execution in 1587, she has become a symbol of Scottish identity, failed female leadership, and Catholic martyrdom. Throughout the twentieth century, Mary was regularly depicted on screen (Ford, 1936; Froelich, 1940; Jarrott, 1971) as a thrice-wed Catholic queen, unable to rule her country due to her feminine nature and Catholic roots. However, with the rise of third wave feminism and postfeminism in media, coupled with the increased influence of emalef directors and writers, Mary’s characterization has shifted from portraying female/emotional weakness and religious sacrifice ot female/collaborative strength in hardship and a struggle against patriarchal prejudice.

  • The Royal Arms at Westerham
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society WESTERHAM CHURCH. Royal Arms of Edward VI. ( 285 ) THE ROYAL ARMS AT WESTERHAM. BY V. J. B. TORR. WESTERHAM, on the western border of Kent and at the head of the beautiful Darent Valley, has achieved celebrity as the birthplace of General Wolfe. To the memory of this modest hero, who is said to have wished rather to have written Gray's Elegy than to capture Quebec, there has been erected a statue on the viUage green, and a mural tablet is placed over the south doorway of the church ; whUe it is also contemplated to furnish the south chapel as a further Wolfe memorial. A description of the parish church, dedicated to St. Mary, wih be found among the Proceedings for 1913, in Arch. Cant. XXXI, lii-lvii, but it is remarkable that no refer- ence occurs in this account to one of the most interesting and valuable objects which the building contains, a Royal Arms of King Edward VI, at once the earhest of the series of framed Royal coats in Kentish churches and an item of great rarity in the whole country. As but little notice has been taken of these Westerham arms even elsewhere, it is the purpose of this paper to supply the deficiency. As will be seen later, Westerham Church had at one time the perhaps unique distinction of possessing the arms of three different sovereigns, one of which coats has since unhappily disappeared.

  • Richard III – Dynasty Session 4
    Richard III Dynasty Symbols of Power. Richard III was really interested in the signs and symbols associated with power. From long before the time of his reign to the present day, people of power, kings, queens, organisations and sometimes countries have had a coat of arms covered with signs and symbols that represent them and their family, like a modern day logo. Richard thought that they were so important that, while he was king, he set up the College of Arms that is, even today, involved in the organisation and granting of all coats of arms. Can you create a coat of arms to represent you and your family? Richard III’s coat of arms - can you see the white boars on either side of the arms and the white rose of Richard III’s white boar Richard III’s arms York at the bottom? cognizance (badge) Richard III Dynasty Symbols of Power. The Colours of Heraldry The 5 traditional colours used were: red (gules), blue (azure), green (vert), black (sable) and purple (purpura). There were also 2 ‘metals’: gold or yellow (or) and silver or white (argent). ‘Furs’ were also commonly used: ermine (representing the white winter fur of stoats with their black tail tips) and vair (representing squirrel skins in blue and white). Heraldic Ordinaries Ordinaries are the simple shapes used on heraldic shields, against a colour, metal or fur background. If you are making your own design, choose one of these main ordinaries. You can also divide your shield into two colours, either vertically or horizontally, or into four different-coloured quarters.

Barrister-at-Law of the Province of British Columbia As both a heraldist and a lawyer, I am intrigued by the arms that courts in my province display. A coat of arms hanging in a courtroom must be ripe with significance to be prominent in such a grave setting. As one writer has argued: ‘The ritual character of proceedings in court have, first, an obvious material character in the higher courts in the form of… emblazoned royal arms on and frequently above the judicial seat or throne.’2 This ‘obvious material character’ can make a definite impression upon those participating in courtroom proceedings. See the following mise en scène: The courtroom itself is an inspiration to the imagination: it has a mystic atmosphere, as if it held somewhere out of sight the spirits of its departed litigants. A voice sounds full and reverberant as if it came from a tunnel. The persons present move on tiptoes and communicate with each other in the lowest whispers. The windows are diamond- paned, sometimes leaded or moulded, and are veiled as with crepe by the soot which the rain has washed upon them.

INTRODUCTION The Power of Nationality Before the Power of Nations Over five hundred years after the end of this British dynasty, the Tudors unmistakably hold a strong presence in today’s society. As illustrated by the breadth of books, movies, and television series, twenty-first century popular culture maintains an interest in the likes of Henry VIII, his wives, and his children. Unsurprising given this widespread appeal, the Tudors also stand as an area of recurrent focus within the realm of scholarship. Historians have extensively addressed the subject, but, considering the richness of the era and the characters involved, topics have not yet been exhausted. In spite of the considerable attention devoted by scholars to the Tudors, there certainly remains notable space in which to examine and explore.
