It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

    50 PAINTINGS IN BARDWELL CHURCH. might almost say—their sacred undertaking, and though this is but an humble offering, I shall feel very thankful if, in a county possessing so many higher objects of interest, our remote village has been able to contribute one trifling leaf to their legendary stores. ARTHURPHILIP DUNLAP. MELFORD HALL. - THE manor of Melford was an antient possession of the monastery of St. Edmund's Bury, being enumerated in Domesday Book among the lands of St. Edmund; and many of the lordly abbots of that powerful house made the manorial hall their occasional retreat from the cavils of the brotherhood and the perpetual contentions incidental to the civil and religious polity of the age. Jocelin de Brackland, the charming chronicler of the doings of the sfamous Abbot Sampson, relates that in the year 1163 " GeoffreyRidell, Bishop of Ely, sought from the abbot some timber for the purpose of constructing certain great buildings at Glernesford ; which request the abbot granted, but with a bad grace, not daring to offend him. Now the abbot making some stay at Melford, there came a certain clerk of the Bishop, asking, on behalf of his lord, that the promised timber might be taken at lEhneswell; and he made a mistake in pronouncing the word, saying /Elmswell when he should have said /Elmsethe [Elmset], which is the name of a certain wood at Melforcl. And the abbot was astonished at the request, for such timbers were not to be found at iElmswell. .Whereof, when Richard the forester to the same town had heard, he privately informed the abbot that the bishop had the previous week sent his carpenters in a surreptitious manner into the wood of /Elmssethe, and had chosen the best timber trees in the whole wood, and had placed his marks thereon.

  • John Prestall: a Complex Relationship with the Elizabethan Regime
    John Prestall: A Complex Relationship with the Elizabethan Regime. Michael J. Devine A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at Victoria University of Wellington 2009. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks must first go to my supervisor Glyn Parry for his wisdom and generosity in introducing me to John Prestall. Without Glyn‘s invaluable advice and guidance this thesis would not have been completed. Thanks also to my fellow history postgraduate students James Campbell, Malcolm Craig, Michael Gill, Nick Radburn and Sam Ritchie for providing advice and their invaluable friendship. I am grateful to Victoria University‘s History Department for providing a comfortable and accommodating working environment and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences for awarding me a grant to present a paper at the Seventh Australia New Zealand Association of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (ANZAMEMS) conference in Hobart, Australia. Special thanks must go to my parents Kate and Kieran, and my siblings Hilary, Erica and Peter for their encouragement and support throughout my Masters. M. J. Devine Wellington ii ABSTRACT This thesis is the biography of John Prestall (c.1527-c.1598) an unsavoury, nefarious, and spendthrift Catholic gentleman from Elizabethan England. A conspirator, opportunist informer, conjurer, conman and alchemist Prestall‘s biography provides an alternative perspective from which to view Elizabethan history, exposing the dark fringe of the Elizabethan Court and the murky political underworld it attracted. In the polarised politico-religious ferment of late Tudor England Prestall, perennially in debt, utilised his occult powers for his own ruthless self-interest and preservation.
