  • Tonbridge Castle and Its Lords
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 16 1886 TONBRIDGE OASTLE AND ITS LORDS. BY J. F. WADMORE, A.R.I.B.A. ALTHOUGH we may gain much, useful information from Lambard, Hasted, Furley, and others, who have written on this subject, yet I venture to think that there are historical points and features in connection with this building, and the remarkable mound within it, which will be found fresh and interesting. I propose therefore to give an account of the mound and castle, as far as may be from pre-historic times, in connection with the Lords of the Castle and its successive owners. THE MOUND. Some years since, Dr. Fleming, who then resided at the castle, discovered on the mound a coin of Con- stantine, minted at Treves. Few will be disposed to dispute the inference, that the mound existed pre- viously to the coins resting upon it. We must not, however, hastily assume that the mound is of Roman origin, either as regards date or construction. The numerous earthworks and camps which are even now to be found scattered over the British islands are mainly of pre-historic date, although some mounds may be considered Saxon, and others Danish. Many are even now familiarly spoken of as Caesar's or Vespa- sian's camps, like those at East Hampstead (Berks), Folkestone, Amesbury, and Bensbury at Wimbledon. Yet these are in no case to be confounded with Roman TONBEIDGHE CASTLE AND ITS LORDS. 13 camps, which in the times of the Consulate were always square, although under the Emperors both square and oblong shapes were used.* These British camps or burys are of all shapes and sizes, taking their form and configuration from the hill-tops on which they were generally placed.

  • William Marshal and Isabel De Clare
    The Marshals and Ireland © Catherine A. Armstrong June 2007 1 The Marshals and Ireland In the fall of 1947 H. G. Leaske discovered a slab in the graveyard of the church of St. Mary‟s in New Ross during the repair works to the church (“A Cenotaph of Strongbow‟s Daughter at New Ross” 65). The slab was some eight feet by one foot and bore an incomplete inscription, Isabel Laegn. Since the only Isabel of Leinster was Isabel de Clare, daughter of Richard Strongbow de Clare and Eve MacMurchada, it must be the cenotaph of Isabel wife of William Marshal, earl of Pembroke. Leaske posits the theory that this may not be simply a commemorative marker; he suggests that this cenotaph from St Mary‟s might contain the heart of Isabel de Clare. Though Isabel died in England March 9, 1220, she may have asked that her heart be brought home to Ireland and be buried in the church which was founded by Isabel and her husband (“A Cenotaph of Strongbow‟s Daughter at New Ross” 65, 67, 67 f 7). It would seem right and proper that Isabel de Clare brought her life full circle and that the heart of this beautiful lady should rest in the land of her birth. More than eight hundred years ago Isabel de Clare was born in the lordship of Leinster in Ireland. By a quirk of fate or destiny‟s hand, she would become a pivotal figure in the medieval history of Ireland, England, Wales, and Normandy. Isabel was born between the years of 1171 and 1175; she was the daughter and sole heir of Richard Strongbow de Clare and Eve MacMurchada.

DEPARTMENT CHURCH ••.;••• P-. .go CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS Omnes, si ad originem primam revocantur, a dis sunt. SENECA, Epist. xliv. One hundred copies of this work have been printed. PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

  • A Vernacular Anglo-Norman Chronicle from Thirteenth- Century Ireland*
    "GO WEST, YOUNG MAN!": A VERNACULAR ANGLO-NORMAN CHRONICLE FROM THIRTEENTH- CENTURY IRELAND* William Sayers The vernacular literary record of the Anglo-Norman invasion and settlement of twelfth- and thirteenth-century Ireland is a sparse one. Leaving to one side the native annals and the more indirect reflection of these events as a stimulus to the compilation of the great codices such as the Book of Leinster and the Book of the Dun Cow,^" only two documents are extant in the French language. One, little marked by Anglo-Norman dialect features, is a poem from 1265 commemorating the 2 completion of trench and bank fortifications at New Ross. The other, more substantial work is a chronicle of 3459 rhymed octosyllabic couplets in Anglo-Norman French, dated to 1225 or 1230; the single manuscript is incomplete at beginning and end. With the exception of the introductory episode, the body of the work commences with events in 1166, details the advent of the Cambro- Norman adventurers and the first imposition of English power in Ireland, and may well have ended with the death of a major figure in 1176. Although more restricted in temporal span and somewhat more in scope than Giraldus Cambrensis' Expugnatio hibernica, dating from 1188-89, it has served historians as a major source for this last surge of Norman expansionism. The manuscript was last edited in 1892 by Goddard H. Orpen as The Song of Dermot and the Earl and served as key evidence for much of his Ireland Under the Normans.^ In fact, M. Domenica Legge, in her authoritative 119 120 Anglo-Norman Literature and its Background, claims that "the editor had, 4 very naturally, an exaggerated idea of its historical value.

Edited and Published by Rev. Ira E. Nolte Rte 2 Anoka , Minnesota [Originally Published for] $1.00 per copy [in much smaller fomat] 2 PREFACE We first became aware of the important lines of our ancestry when Mr. J. H, Ravlin of Minneapolis, Minnesota and his wife, formerly Mary Negus, gave us a blueprint of the Negus Ancestry Chart that shows three distinct lines back to the Wings of Massachusetts, the Coppocks of Pennsylvania, and the Terrells of Virginia. Then Mr. Alvin L. Anderson of Eugene Oregon gave us more interesting information on the English nobility in the Terrell line and we began research on our own.- We found the Los Angeles Public Library had an exceptionally fine genealogical Department which with the history department not only verified what we had been told, but supplied much additional information which we feel all members of our family will be glad to have, and we will herewith make it available in booklet form. It will be noted. that the Terrell family was connected-with the Royal Family of England by the marriage of Sir Thomas Terrell to Alice Marney, a direct descendent of King Edward 1.

  • 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.
