The French Connection (Part 2): Research Journal - Volume 07 - 2010 on the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Online Research Journal Article C.W.H.Gamble
The Marlowe Society The French Connection (Part 2): Research Journal - Volume 07 - 2010 On the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Online Research Journal Article C.W.H.Gamble The French Connection (Part 2) On the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Introduction This article is the sequel to an essay first published in 2009 in the Online Research Journal of the Marlowe Society (Vol.6) 1, under the title The French Connection: New Leads on Monsieur Le Doux . In view of the extent of the new documentary evidence here presented, and the chronological overlap, the reader may wish to refer to the previous article for additional information on the links between “Le Doux” and Christopher Marlowe, and indeed on Marlowe’s claim to the authorship of the works of “Shake-speare”. I should begin by giving a brief outline of the background to the historical events and negotiations which are discussed in both articles, with apologies to those readers for whom this is already familiar ground: 1. In 1568 the United Provinces of the Netherlands rose in revolt against Spanish Habsburg rule. Their cause gained the open support of Queen Elizabeth during the mid-1580s; England provided both funds and military forces for the continuance of the war against Spanish occupation, a lengthy conflict which was not resolved until 1609, when peace was made with Spain. The Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux, saw service in the Netherlands under the Earl of Leicester (1585-1586) and later, in 1591, led a force into France in support of King Henri IV against the Catholic League; Essex’s brother Walter was killed at the siege of Rouen. -

Elizabeth I’s officer corps were careful to act in wars so that their actions would be seen as honourable by outside observers in the belief that such actions would add to their personal glory. Their individual and corporate perception of the laws of war directly affected military practices. -

TO THE MEMORY OF- ROBERT HORD, THE AUTHOR OF THE EARLY MANUSCRIPT HISTORY OF THE FAMILY, AND TO MY FATHER, WILLIAM TALIAFERRO HORD, WITHOUT WHOSE PECUNIARY AID AND VALUABLE ASSISTANCE THE PRESENT WORK COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, this Uolumc IS GRATEFULLY AND AFFECTIONATELY Dedicated BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. The material in the following pages is a collection of all the data that can be obtained relative to the Hord family. The family traces its ancestry back to the year 1215. It is Scandinavian in origin, and its settlement in England prob- ably took place at the time of the incursions of the Norse- men into that country. The raven, the ancient emblem carried by the Norsemen on their flags, has always been in the family coat-of-arms, and indicates the origin from which they sprung. There is a family in Sweden bearing the name of Hord, of which General Hord, a valiant officer of Charles XII. of Sweden (see Voltaire's "Life of Charles XII. of Sweden''), and his son, the Count de Hordt (see "Memoirs of Count de Hordt," published in London in 1806), a lieutenant-general in the service of Frederick the Great of Prussia, who died in Berlin in 1785, were distin- guished members. -

PREFACE. Although in the present day the writing of a preface may be considered almost a work of supererogation on the part of an author, since it is that portion of a work seldom or ever looked into, still, as custom demands the form, and there may be some among my readers Doctrine Publishing Corporation Digital Book Page 1 who may desire to learn what first led me to undertake this work, I am induced to follow the fashion, more especially as on one or two points I am desirous of offering a few words of comment and explanation.
