A splendid service featured the Te Deum before the royal couple proceeded to the adjacent palace of the archbishop.

Buried in Westminster Abbey, her grave was unmarked until Following the decisive Yorkist victory at the Battle of Tewkesbury on 4 May, Henry was reported to have died of "pure displeasure and melancholy," although "The Great Chronicle of London" reported that Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was responsible for his death. It seems like her story and life was hidden. Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick Professor Dobson has suggested that at this stage Richard may even have been contemplating York Minster as his burial place.

Anne Neville took charge of raising the children of Isabel and Clarence. Thomas de Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick 6. A good part of the book is Hicks admitting to lack of knowledge of Anne's whereabouts and actions. He secured custody of George but had yet to marry him off, so that his line continued, and had failed to wrest control of Richard from his uncle Cardinal Bourchier. If that was his plan, he was foiled. Prince Edward was killed in or shortly after the battle, and Anne Neville was taken prisoner. They were illegitimate. Anne Neville sometimes bore her father, Lord Warwick's, full achievement, however at other times she also bore the arms of Neville without difference by a label for Lancaster larger coat of arms. It was kings, not their queens, who set the tone. There is a lot about her family, but very little when it comes to Anne herself. Evidence has been produced that says that Edward could not have been conceived by his parents and been born when he was, and many historians have said there is no evidence that he was born early, but without knowing the condition of his mother during her pregnancy, it will never been known for certain.

The well-sunned plains which, from the mouth of the Tawe to that of the Wye, skirt the northern shore of the Bristol Channel enjoy a mild and genial climate and have from the earliest times been the seat of important settlements. Roman civilisation gained a firm foothold in the district, as may be seen from its remains at Cardiff, Caerleon and Caerwent. Monastic centres of the first rank were established here, at Llanilltud, Llancarfan and Llandaff, during the age of early Christian en- thusiasm. Politically, too, the region stood apart from the rest of South Wales, in virtue, it may be, of the strength of the old Silurian traditions, and it maintained, through many vicissitudes, its independence under its own princes until the eve of the Norman Conquest.

  • 1 Margaret M. Condon and Evan T. Jones (Eds.), 'Bristol 1470-71
    Bristol customs account Nov 1470 – March 1471: intro TNA, E122/174/3 (part) Margaret M. Condon and Evan T. Jones (eds.), ‘Bristol 1470-71: Particulars of Account of Daniel Sheldon, controller, 4 November 1470 to 29 March 1471: Introduction’ (University of Bristol, Research Data Repository, 2019)1 Text and Comment This newly discovered account was found in a large bundle of fragmentary and undated customs accounts dating from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Generally in good condition, the document has some minor points of damage.2 It consists of a single membrane of parchment displaced from a larger document, the start of which is no longer extant. The missing portion would have covered the period from November 1470 to late January 1471. The surviving membrane of the account begins mid-way through a ship entry for late January 1471 and continues to 29 March of the same year.3 Two additional entries for 30 March and 17 April post-date the formal period of account. Their inclusion is likely to be a consequence of the unstable political situation discussed below. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the account is that it details Bristol’s overseas trade for an eleven-week period during a particularly active phase of the ‘Wars of the Roses’. In September/October 1470, the Earl of Warwick, known as ‘The Kingmaker’ restored the Lancastrian Henry VI to the throne of England and forced the Yorkist monarch, Edward IV, to flee to Holland, which was part of the lands of Edward’s brother-in-law, the Duke of Burgundy.

  • 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.

I enjoyed all the drama that took place but I disliked the lack of a lesson, when reading a book I want to be left with a life lesson and I did not find one within this novel.

  • The Medieval Town Defences of Glamorgan
    STUDIA CELTICA, XXXV (2001), 161–212 The Medieval Town Defences of Glamorgan C. J. SPURGEON Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales Introduction Nine boroughs were established within the bounds of the historic county of Glamorgan in the Middle Ages, two in the lordship of Gower (Loughor and Swansea), and seven in the lordship of Glamorgan (Aberafan, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Cowbridge, Kenfig, Llantrisant and Neath). This paper considers four boroughs which were certainly forti- fied, and one, Neath, for which there is sufficient evidence to suggest the possible line of its vanished defences. Vestiges of the town walls and a gate survive at Cardiff and Cowbridge, and at Swansea recent development has exposed a fragment of the town wall with traces of a possible tower. At these three towns the outline and characteristics of the masonry defences are well attested by early town plans and records, and largely confirmed by excavations. Kenfig was never provided with stone walls, but it still retains substantial traces of its defensive rampart and ditch. There is no documentary or phys- ical evidence for fortifications at the other four boroughs. Extensive excavations at Loughor found no trace of the suggested medieval refortification of the defences of the Roman fort.1 The nine medieval boroughs, with one exception, were founded by the chief lords of Gower or Glamorgan. The exception was the latest, Aberafan, established c.1304 by Leision ap Morgan Fychan, the Welsh lord of Afan. Eight boroughs were urban centres which developed beside castles. Cowbridge, however, was unique in Glamorgan and rare in Wales in not conforming to this pattern.2 The walled town was set on low ground half a kilometre from the pre-existing Llanblethian Castle, and its defences were prob- ably provided at its foundation to compensate for this unusual lack of protection.

  • Inspiration from Kick@Ss Tudor Women Day One: Lady Margaret Beaufort
    Inspiration from Kick@ss Tudor Women Day One: Lady Margaret Beaufort Hello and welcome to Day One of the Inspiration from Kickass Tudor Women minicourse. My name is Heather Teysko, and for those of you who don’t know me, I started a podcast called the Renaissance English History Podcast in 2009, and have been podcasting for the past eight years about my favorite time period in history. I also lead history tours to England, design gorgeous planners and journals inspired by Tudor history, and do courses on podcasting. I live in Spain with my husband and three year old daughter, and before that I lived in London, New York, Los Angeles, and I’m originally from Amish Country Pennsylvania. So that’s a little bit about who I am. As this course goes on, I want to know more about who you are, about what inspires you about history, and what you get out of learning about it. My first job in high school was as a student docent at a local home built by a Revolutionary War general, Rock Ford Plantation in Lancaster PA, owned by General Edward Hand, adjutant general to Washington. I spent five years there, and during that time I got to know Edward Hand really well. I handled his medical equipment, I touched his books, and I got to know him really well. But I really didn’t know much about his wife. And, as someone who loved history, but also was interested in women’s history, that really bugged me. There are a lot of reasons why women don’t make it into the historical narrative.

  • TEWKESBURY 1471: the Last Yorkist Victory
    TEWKESBURY 1471: The Last Yorkist Victory. Christopher Gravett. Illustrated by Graham Turner. 2003. Osprey Publishing, Oxford, £12.99. ISBN 1-84176-514-7 BOSWORTH 1485: Last Charge of the Plantagenets. Christopher Gravett. Illustrated by Graham Turner. 1999. Osprey Publishing, Oxford, £12.99. ISBN 1-85532-863-1 These two books are both in the Osprey ‘Campaign’ series and so are similar in organization. The Introduction to the first, Tewkesbury 1471 says that the series consists of ‘Accounts of history’s greatest conflicts, detailing the command strategies, tactics and battle experiences of the opposing forces, throughout the crucial stages of each campaign’, both books fulfill this promise. Both contain many excellent illustrations from contemporary documents, also photographs of the battlefields today together with excellent and (usually) very clear maps of the routes to the battlefields and plans of the battles themselves. The books also contain paintings by Graham Turner of incidents during the battles and the events leading up to them, which help readers to visualize the occasions. Unfortunately neither book has an index, presumably never called for in this series, and there are also no references, although the source of crucial statements are usually given. As part of the promised content both books contain two chapters on the commanders and the armies. The for- mer are fairly brief potted biographies of the major commanders, the latter contain a brief discussion of how each commander raised his troops and short but excellent descriptions of the arms and armour equipping the troops. These are as good as would be expected from this author, a Senior Curator at the Royal Armouries.

  • To 17Th Century Settlement Sites in South Glamorgan
    The ceramic evidence for economic life and networks from 12th- to 17th century settlement sites in South Glamorgan Alice Forward PhD in Archaeology School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University December 2013 Summary Using well stratified ceramic assemblages from eight settlements across South Glamorgan this thesis places archaeology at the centre of interpretations of medieval and early post-medieval economic networks in this area. Comparative analysis and the contextualisation of the material have enabled archaeological evidence to develop new ways of understanding and interpreting the region during the 12th to the 17th centuries. Chapter 3 re-evaluates previous studies of the local ceramics, Vale Ware, and conducts further petrographic analysis on sherds from excavations at Llandaff Cathedral School, Cosmeston and Kenfig. Chapters 4 and 5 are detailed studies of the medieval and early post-medieval ceramic assemblage from Cosmeston. They discuss the contextual significance of the ceramics from the manor and its associated settlement and the changes that affected the manorial estate over 500 years. Chapter 6 focuses on assemblages from the small town, Cowbridge. This chapter develops ideas concerning the role of markets and fairs as central trading places in South Glamorgan. Chapter 7 looks at six comparative case studies: rural settlements at Barry, Sully and Rumney, the towns of Cardiff and Kenfig and the ecclesiastical centre at Llantwit Major. By comparing the assemblages from these sites to both Cosmeston and Cowbridge, i | P a g e interpretations are further developed on the role settlements had within the local and wider regional economic networks. The results emphasise the importance of the Bristol Channel to the movement of goods and people in South Glamorgan.
