A metaphor is a play on words in which one object or idea is expressed as if it were something else, something with which it is said to share common features. Queen Elizabeth, for example, uses such a construction in asserting her innocence of any conspiracy against her brother-in-law Clarence: By Him that raised me to this careful height From that contented hap which I enjoyed, I never did incense his Majesty Against the Duke of Clarence. The contynuall report is, that Richard Duke of Gloucester killyd him with a sword … but who so ever wer the killer of that holy man …' Not yet a firm conviction of Richard.

It was probably around this time that the pre-contract became a major factor in the course of events. Richard III: printed complete from the text of Sam. He was knighted, and given honorary degrees by Cambridge and Leeds. Oscar Wilde. Nonetheless, a parallel tale that Richard was weak as a child seemed to reinforce the idea. He was less scholarly in his approach than Buck, but he too spent time castigating historians — and Sir Thomas More. Mancini goes on to claim that 'At that time Richard duke of Gloucester was so overcome with grief for his brother that he could not dissimulate so well, but that he was overheard to say that he would one day avenge his brother's death'. Richard 3 October , Tandem Library. He claimed Richard 'avoided the jealousy of the queen from whom he lived far separated' [1]. Under that law the Parliamentary claim stated a legitimate cause of action. However there is no hint in Richard's behaviour that he was planning to be crowned in place of Edward V. He then proceeds to bolster his throne by attempting to marry his niece Elizabeth of York. The few facts that are known do not, however, support the traditional story, which was that they had been smothered by James Tyrell, Master of the Horse to Richard III, with the help of two men, Miles Forest and John Dighton. The main points were that the children of his brother, Edward IV, were illegitimate, and that as the children of his other elder brother, the duke of Clarence, were disabled by their father's attainder for treason, Richard was the next heir. Cecily, duchess of York, is talking to her little grandson Richard the current duke of York in the presence of the Archbishop and Queen Elizabeth Woodville. The fact that Richard is said to have been in the Tower is not as sinister as it may appear. Rosemary Horrox has suggested a 'family' link between Richard and the Woodvilles. An ecclesiastical court should have pronounced on the issue of bastardy, and no one was allowed to speak on behalf of the children -- these were weaknesses in the arguments on Richard's side. In April, Hastings and Richard shared common goals and Hastings was content to work with Richard during the period of the protectorship. The cowardice did not, of course, extend to the battlefield, where he was ' brave to the utmost edge of peril ', but not even Richard's worst enemies denied him that type of courage. The arrest of Rivers and his immediate supporters led to the collapse of the Woodville machinations to rule England through the young King. Intimates of the king could have known of the liaison even if the words of contract had not been heard. Kincaid's assessment is that Buck ' … deals with Richard's reputation by shrewd analysis rather than emotional harangue. Richard being responsible for both calamities - Anne's widowhood and Henry's death. Richard III: York Notes Advanced Writer Jeremy Potter regarded it as dubious. Microform in English - Newly augmented, The Warwick Rebellion Author : Anne F.

Etherington at York in English. It does not follow however that Richard and Anne were 'childhood sweethearts' and married for love. The guilty verdict carried a mandatory death sentence and Byng was shot at Portsmouth, on the quarter-deck of the Monarque , in March Austins gate. We have nothing that gives a complete picture of the confused and traumatic events leading to the accession to the throne of Richard III. Rebecca Warren. The categorical statements made in the report which followed the examination would not now be made by modern forensic scientists, who would stress the uncertainties in the determination of age, sex, family relationship, date of death and so on. Paperback in English. Having knelt, Richard must later rise, but the early printed texts give no indication, in either their stage directions or dialogue, when Richard is to stand. It was urgent that there should be a king, and it was generally undesirable that a child should be on the throne, and opposition to the proposal that Richard should be king might coalesce if the matter was delayed. King Richard the Third , Ginn and company in English. Those who have studied Latin or even French or German or Spanish and those who are used to reading poetry will have little difficulty understanding the language of poetic drama. Accept all Manage Cookies. William Shakespeare. Rosalie L. The defining moment in Shakespeare's play of Richard III occurs in the first scene when the dramatic Richard declares ' I am determined to prove a villain '. Dorset escaped from sanctuary and supposing that he was hiding in the adjacent neighbourhood, he [Richard] surrounded with troops and dogs the already grown crops and the cultivated and woody places, and sought for him, after the manner of huntsmen, by a very close encirclement: but he was never found. Only another monarch could legally order a regicide. Richard, in effect, gave his enemies and detractors the opportunity to vilify him, an opportunity that they have not failed to exploit. Whatever the view of modern commentators, an ecclesiastical court might well have pronounced in Richard's favour. William Cornwallis was therefore probably no admirer of Elizabeth Tudor. Their fate was a mystery at the time and has been ever since. Dent in English. But a few months later it was still thought necessary to explain the title carefully: in April the Ironmongers' Company of London recorded that they had paid for two wherries to take them to Westminster 'the which tyme the kyng tytylle and right was ther publyschid and shewid'. During the weeks that followed Richard took control of the government and plans moved forward for the coronation, now to take place on 22 June. This book is the first to give a detailed and comprehensive account of all the children of Richard III, covering his only legitimate child, Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales, his illegitimate children John of Gloucester, and Katherine, Hastings' Monument at the Tower of London The present author believes that the answer to that question is to be found in two aspects of Hastings' character: his loyalty and his ambition. He was knighted, and given honorary degrees by Cambridge and Leeds. His grandfather Robert was at Flodden Field with the second duke in , and his father Robert had fought under the duke of Somerset at Musselburgh in The manuscript, heavily revised, had been almost ready, but not quite. At what stage Stillington told his story to Richard about King Edward's pre- contract with Eleanor Butler is unknown but undoubtedly Richard was in possession of the revelation by this time and now had three options open to him: ignore the pre-contract and continue with the coronation on the 22nd; postpone the coronation; or assume the throne on the grounds of the illegitimacy of his nephews. Queen Elizabeth, for example, uses such a construction in asserting her innocence of any conspiracy against her brother-in-law Clarence: By Him that raised me to this careful height From that contented hap which I enjoyed, I never did incense his Majesty Against the Duke of Clarence. We have to be content to wait for that and when scientific advances will have made the results much more meaningful. It is very likely that Hastings was aware of the threat posed by Robert Stillington and his knowledge of the pre-contract with Eleanor Butler. In October a proclamation in the patent rolls described her as ' the unshameful and mischievous woman called Shore's wife ' and as being held in adultery by Dorset. Richard III: a tragedy. Redrawn by Piat Design But all possible mitigation was rendered irrelevant by the clandestine nature of Edward's and Elizabeth's marriage. Krol Ryszard III On 4 May, the date originally set for the coronation, Richard and his nephew arrived in London accompanied by the new major player in the drama that was about to unfold, the hitherto political lightweight Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham. Dominic Mancini reported that Richard '… was so overcome with grief for his brother … that he was overheard to say he would one day avenge his brother's death'.

  • Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe, Female Agency in Late Medieval England
    ABSTRACT “She Should Have More if She Were Ruled and Guided by Them”: Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe, Female Agency in Late Medieval England Laura Christine Oliver, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Beth Allison Barr, Ph.D. This thesis argues that while patriarchy was certainly present in England during the late medieval period, women of the middle and upper classes were able to exercise agency to a certain degree through using both the patriarchal bargain and an economy of makeshifts. While the methods used by women differed due to the resources available to them, the agency afforded women by the patriarchal bargain and economy of makeshifts was not limited to the aristocracy. Using Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe as cases studies, this thesis examines how these women exercised at least a limited form of agency. Additionally, this thesis examines whether ordinary women have access to the same agency as elite women. Although both were exceptional women during this period, they still serve as ideal case studies because of the sources available about them and their status as role models among their contemporaries. “She Should Have More if She Were Ruled and Guided By Them”: Elizabeth Woodville and Margery Kempe, Female Agency in Late Medieval England by Laura Christine Oliver, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of History ___________________________________ Jeffrey S.

AKLY in 1894 the Dean and Chapter of Wells made * -* extensive excavations east of the Cloisters and south of the Cathedral, to ascertain the exact site, condition, and measurements of the foundations of two chapels, of the thir- teenth and fifteenth centuries respectively. The chapel of the fifteenth century was known to be Bishop Stillington's, and was found to be of unexpected magnificence ; a second cathedral, in fact, with transepts ; 120 feet long from east to west, and 66 feet from north to south in the transepts. The foundations were superb, as will be seen from the architectural plans and descriptions made in detail by Mr. Edmund Buckle, the Diocesan Architect. New Series, Vol. XX. II. a , 1894, Part 2 Papers, 8fc. Canon Church undertook to collect the notices of Bishop Stillington and his work, in the Diocesan Registers and the Cathedral Eecords : and at the request of Mr. Elworthy, our Secretary, I promised to find out and put together whatever I could learn of Bishop Stillington from ancient and modern history and records. His splendid chapel might have been standing to this day, as little injured as the Cathedral or the Chapter House by the troubles of the Cromwellian period, or by Monmouth's brief campaign, if only it had been spared for a twelvemonth : for it was destroyed in the very last year of Edward VI : the greed of a courtier trading on the need of the greatly impoverished Dean and Chapter.

    ARTICLES ARDENT SUITOR OR RELUCTANT GROOM? Henry VII and Elizabeth of York Part 1: Ardent suitor DAVID JOHNSON On 18 January 1486 Henry VII married Elizabeth of York, symbolically uniting the royal houses of Lancaster and York and laying the foundations of Tudor dynastic success. By the time Henry’s court historian, Polydore Vergil, published his English History, the Anglica Historia, in 1534, the matrimonial union of these former adversaries had become a national panacea, evidence, no less, of God’s benediction: It is legitimate to attribute this [marriage] to divine intervention, for plainly by it all things which nourished the two most ruinous factions were utterly removed, by it the two houses of Lancaster and York were united and from the union the true and established royal line emerged which now reigns.1 Despite Vergil’s faith in the providential care of the Matrimonial conspiracy Almighty, Henry’s relationship with Elizabeth of York Henry’s union with Elizabeth of York was a consequence proved to be complex and unpredictable. If we strip of Richard III’s controversial accession in the summer of away the certainties of hindsight and track Henry’s 1483. In the autumn of that year, following the matrimonial destiny in real time, a remarkable story disappearance of the deposed Edward V and his younger begins to emerge. Instead of the divinely ordained brother, Richard, duke of York, a rebellion in the south dynastic alliance described by Vergil, we find a of England aimed to overthrow Richard and place the problematic, politically charged reality.

    The Changing View from Oxford 1]]. Our Most Dread Sovereign .. R. C. HAIRSINE THE EXCITEMENT and speculations of those who rode into Oxford bearing news 'qf the battle near Leicester must have been quickly dampened by the sombre mood in the city and its university. The fate of princes and lords would hold little interest amidst fear of the new epidemic now raging within the walls. The ‘sweating sickness’ is thought by some to have been a particularly virulent strain of influenza,55 apparently previously unknown, which has since recurred at intervals till the present. The Register of Merton College provides a vivid record apparently written shortly after the disease subsidedzfi“ ‘The same year, about the end of August and the beginning of September, a strange' and unprecedented occurrence began in the university, which, coming with sudden sweating, has abruptly taken the lives of many. At length, about the end of September, the affliction spread just as suddenly . throughout the whole realm. In the City of London, three mayors died within ten days and thus, spreading from the east through the south and into _ the west,the extraordinary scourge smote almost all the nobles both spiritual 'and temporal short of the very high'est. Within twenty-four hours all either died or recovered. Such a sudden and cruel massacre, as it were, of the wise and good men among us has not been heard of for centuries. Apart from a few cases,the epidemic did not last beyond a month or six weeks. At length a remedy has been found against this extraordinary pestilence in that the infected person should be promptly covered by blankets for twenty-four hours, not to excess but in moderation (many in fact had been sufl‘ocated by cgvering with excess blankets), he should drink warm beer and not take any alr.’ Henry Tudor prudently delayed entry into London until the epidemic had subsided and his coronation was held (belatedly for those days) on 30th October.

  • Lady Eleanor Talbot's Other Husband
    Lady Eleanor Talbot’s Other Husband: Sir Thomas Butler, heir of Sudeley, and his family JOHN-ASHDOWN HILL Although King Henry VII tried very hard to supress the fact, it is well known that in asserting his claim to the throne in 1483, Richard III had cited a prior contract of marriage between his brother, the late king Edward IV, and the Lady Eleanor Talbot. A marriage contract which, together with Edward’s clandestine second marriage with Elizabeth Woodville, made all the children of that second marriage illegitimate. It is now also established that Lady Eleanor Talbot was, at the time of her alleged marriage with Edward IV, a young widow, having been previously married to Sir Thomas Butler. Indeed, the Titulus Regius of 1484 refers to both Lady Eleanor and Elizabeth Woodville under their married names, as ‘Eleanor Butler’ and ‘Elizabeth Grey’ respectively. In this article, however, to avoid confusion, the consistent practice is to refer to women by their maiden surnames, hence ‘Eleanor Talbot’ and ‘Elizabeth Woodville’. Previous writers have casually suggested that Richard III selected Lady Eleanor Talbot to be named as ‘the lady of the precontract’ because there were no members of her family around to contradict him. This article establishes that on the contrary there were numerous relatives of both Lady Eleanor and Sir Thomas Butler living in the Richard’s reign and that these living relatives apparently had no difficulty in accepting Richard III and in prospering under him.1 Sir Thomas Butler is a shadowy figure and only three facts seem to be generally known about him: that he was the only son and heir of Ralph Butler, Lord Sudeley, that in about 1450 he married Lady Eleanor Talbot, daughter of the first earl of Shrewbury, and that about ten years later he died, leaving no children.

  • The College and Canons of St Stephen's, Westminster, 1348
    The College and Canons of St Stephen’s, Westminster, 1348 - 1548 Volume I of II Elizabeth Biggs PhD University of York History October 2016 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the college founded by Edward III in his principal palace of Westminster in 1348 and dissolved by Edward VI in 1548 in order to examine issues of royal patronage, the relationships of the Church to the Crown, and institutional networks across the later Middle Ages. As no internal archive survives from St Stephen’s College, this thesis depends on comparison with and reconstruction from royal records and the archives of other institutions, including those of its sister college, St George’s, Windsor. In so doing, it has two main aims: to place St Stephen’s College back into its place at the heart of Westminster’s political, religious and administrative life; and to develop a method for institutional history that is concerned more with connections than solely with the internal workings of a single institution. As there has been no full scholarly study of St Stephen’s College, this thesis provides a complete institutional history of the college from foundation to dissolution before turning to thematic consideration of its place in royal administration, music and worship, and the manor of Westminster. The circumstances and processes surrounding its foundation are compared with other such colleges to understand the multiple agencies that formed St Stephen’s, including that of the canons themselves. Kings and their relatives used St Stephen’s for their private worship and as a site of visible royal piety.

  • Bishop of Bath and Wells 1466-91
    The Register' of Robert Stillington, Bishop of Bath and Wells 1466-91 WILLIAM J. CONNOR This paper‘ seeks to show how the register dompiled for Robert Stillington, for twenty-five years bishop of Bath and Wells in the late fifteenth century, contributes to the understanding of the decoration of administrative documents in this period. It was largely compiled under the supervision of Hugh Sugar who, as vicar-general, was responsible for much of the routine administration of the diocese. He evidently encouraged the pen work embellishments, which are such a striking feature of this volume, and seems to have employed an artist whose only other known work appears in manuscripts commissioned by the previous bishop, Thomas Beckington. This links Stillington’s register directly to the academic elite of Winchester and New College, Oxford, and the culture of the Yorkist court. _ Dubbed re ”mumz': éué‘que by his French contemporary, Philippe de Commines,2 Robert Stillington enjoyed a colourful career. Probably born in Yorkshire c. 1410, he first appears in the records as a doctor of civil law at Oxford in 1443, by which time he was also a proctor of Lincoln College and principal of Deep Hall. At thispoint, probably already in his thirties, he embarked on the official and ecclesiastical career for which he is now remembered. A protégée of Thomas Beckington, the recently consecrated bishop of Bath and Wells, he was appointed as Beckington’s chancellor and to a prebend in Wells Cathedral in 1445, but not: ordained priest there until 1447. We then find him on a diplomatic mission to Burgundy in 1448 and as a royal councillor a year later.

  • Philippe De Commynes and the Pre-Contract
    ARTICLES PHILIPPE DE COMMYNES AND THE PRE-CONTRACT: what did Commynes say, where did he get his information, and what did he believe? DAVID JOHNSON Philippe de Commynes’ Memoirs of the Reign of Louis XI are unique among the primary sources for the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III as the only authority to state that Canon Robert Stillington, future bishop of Bath and Wells, participated in a secret marriage between Edward IV and ‘a certain English lady’ (Lady Eleanor Talbot). As we shall see, Commynes reported that Stillington ‘married them when only he and they were present’, that Edward subsequently wedded Queen Elizabeth Woodville, and that following Edward’s death, Stillington revealed the late king’s clandestine marriage to Richard, duke of Gloucester.1 Stillington’s testimony established Eleanor Talbot as It is interesting to note that Cato, as physician, served Edward’s legal wife and invalidated the king’s later and both Charles the Bold and Louis XI, just as Commynes, consequently bigamous union with Elizabeth Woodville. as diplomat, served the Burgundian duke and the French As a result, Edward’s legitimate contract of marriage to king.4 Towards the end of the Prologue Commynes Eleanor Talbot (the pre‐contract) disqualified the recasts the Memoirs in a more ambiguous light, stating offspring of the equally secret, but unlawful, Woodville that he sends to Cato ‘a record of that which springs union, leading to the deposition of Edward V and the promptly to my mind, hoping you asked for this in order accession of Richard III.
