  • Crowland Abbey
    Crowland Abbey. West Doorway. To show particularly the Quatrefoil illustrating its traditional history. (From a negative by Mr. H. E. Cooper.) 74 CROWLAND ABBEY. By Frances M. Page, B.A. (Paper read to the members of the Northamptonshire Natural History Society on the occasion of their visit to Crowland, July 18th, 1929.) Perhaps no place that has watched the passing of twelve centuries can show to modern generations so little contemporary history as Crowland. All its original charters were destroyed by fire in 1091, and of the chronicles, only two survive—one of the eighth and the other of the twelfth century. Several histories have been compiled by its monks and abbots who worked from legend and tradition, but the most detailed, that of Ingulf, the famous first Norman Abbot, has been recently exposed as a forgery of much later date. But in the carvings upon its West front, Crowland carries for ever an invaluable record of its past, which posterity may read and interpret. The coming of Guthlac, the patron saint, to Crowland in the eighth century, is one of the most picturesque incidents of early history, for there is an austerity and mystery in this first hermit of the fen country, seeking a place for meditation and self-discipline in the swamps which were shunned with terror by ordinary men. “Then,” says a chronicler, “he came to a great marsh, situated upon the eastern shore of the Mercians; and diligently enquired the nature of the place. A certain man told him that in this vast swamp there was a remote island, which many had tried to inhabit but had failed on account of the terrible ghosts there.

Broad: ‘Northumberland at War’. At the Battle of Towton in 1461 the Lancastrian forces of Henry VI were defeated by the Yorkist forces of Edward IV. However Henry VI, with his wife, son and a few knights, fled north and found sanctuary in Scotland, where, in exchange for the town of Berwick, the Scots granted them finance, housing and troops. Henry was therefore able to maintain a presence in Northumberland and his supporters were able to claim that he was in fact as well as in theory sovereign resident in Northumberland.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Struensee's Ghost: Narratives of Pascal Paoli and Ebenezer Richardson in Philadelphian Newspapers, 1767
    O’Donnell 1 Struensee’s Ghost: Narratives of Pascal Paoli and Ebenezer Richardson in Philadelphian Newspapers, 1767 – 1776 In Copenhagen, January 1772, a revolution occurred in Denmark. The country rejected German culture and embarked on a new programme of re-discovering and redefining the Danish people.1 The Revolution was precipitated by the arrest of Count Johann Friedrich Struensee. Since 1771, Struensee had been the court favourite, Royal Secretary, and personal physician to the Danish King, Christian VII. He was eventually executed in April 1772 for treason and lèse-majesté, convicted of signing the King’s name without due authority.2 He had become a particularly noisome figure in Danish politics by heedlessly pursuing a modernising agenda of abolishing traditional privileges in favour of enlightened rule. And like other attempts in European courts, these ‘rational’ innovations were not greeted enthusiastically. Struensee first surrounded himself with a select group of cronies then systematically isolated himself from the court, along the way incurring the wrath of merchants, burghers, and industrialists. Struensee finally pressed his enlightened reform too far when he ordered the dissolution of the Royal Guards. By 1772 Struensee was protected only by the Queen, with whom he was having an illicit sexual relationship, and the King, who had long suffered from a deteriorating and dissociative mental illness –thought either to be schizophrenia or porphyria and probably not caused by excessive masturbation as Struensee himself diagnosed.3 When Struensee’s ministry was toppled, the old court party made the Queen Dowager Juliana regent, and the King’s half brother Frederick her Prime Minister – this was the Revolution.
