" He was the third son of William Vincent, of Wellingborough and Thingdon or (Finedon), in Northamptonshire. Entering the College of Arms, he became a favourite of Camden, and of Burroughs, first Norroy, afterwards Garter. He was appointed pursuivant extraordinary Feb. 22, 1615-16; Rouge Croix pursuivant May 29, 1621; Windsor Herald by patent, Jan. 1, 1621-2. When only a pursuivant extraordinary, the former employed him as his deputy, or marshal, in some of his Visi- tations. The latter made him his clerk, or under-keeper of the Records in the Tower, which place he had with his office of Norroy. From these records he made a great collection of extracts, for the use of Ralph Sheldon, esq—Sir William Segar, Wil- liam Camden, Clarencieux, and sir Richard St. John, Norroy, granted him a separate new brizure in his arms for distinction. Windsor wrote a book in defence of his patron Camden, against Brooke, York Herald's, attack against some parfs of his " Bri- tannia." It was intituled, " A Discovery of the Errors in the Catalogue of the Nobility, by Ralph Brooke, York Herald." As he had o-reat abilities, and equal industry, it is to be lamented that he did not live to write the Survey of the County of Northamp- ton, as he intended, having, when a young man, made many and judicious selections for that purpose. Aubrey says, he died while thus employed, and left great materials for the History of Northamptonshire, which, with all his other collections, are lodged in the Heralds'-office. He intended the Lives of all such as had been Knights of the Garter. Mr. Burton, the Leicester- shire Antiquary, acknowledges with gratitude the.assistance of that expert Genealogist, his dear friend and kinsman, Mr. Augustine Vincent, furnishing his valuable materials for the History of that County. See also, the dedication of Lee's Chronicon Cestrense, in King's Antiquities of Cheshire. Dying Jan. 11, 1625-6, he was buried in the church of St. Bennet, Paul's-wharf. Weever calls him his " dear deceased friend," whose loss, in another place, he " still lamented." He wrote, or collected, a treatise, of " the ..jiploycd ... of Castor, in Norfolk] ; and had one son, John Vincent, of Uffington, gent. who was a sensible man, a good Genealogist, Herald, and Antiquary.

  • “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil”
    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

  • Nicholas Charles's Notes on Cudham and Downe
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society NICHOLAS CHARLES'S NOTES ON CUDHAM AND DOWNE NICHOLAS ROGERS, M.A. Among the church notes of Nicholas Charles, Lancaster Herald (d. 1613),' preserved in B.L. Lansdowne MS. 874, are several pages relating to monuments and stained glass in Kentish churches. The most important of these are his copies of drawings by his father-in- law Sir William Segar of the brasses and other monuments at Cobham, on ff. 60v-62v. However, his notes on Downe and Cudham, on ff. 39v and 40, are also of considerable value, helping to elucidate the history of these poorly documented churches. At St. Peter and St. Paul, Cudham, which he visited on 7 July, 1611, Nicholas Charles recorded the inscription and heraldry of the brass (M.S. I) of Alice Waleys (d. 11 July, 1503) at the entrance to the chancel, now unfortunately covered by recently constructed wooden steps.2 He also blazoned a series of nine coats of arms: 1. Barry argent and azure an orle of martlets gules (de Valence). 2. Gules three lions passant guardant or (England). 3. Quarterly or and gules (de Say, barons Say). 4.

  • Image and Influence: the Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I
    Image and Influence: The Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I Katherine Anne Butler Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Acknowledgements With thanks to all the people who supported me throughout my research, especially: My supervisor, Stephen Rose, My advisors, Elizabeth Eva Leach and Anna Whitelock, The Arts and Humanities Research Council for funding this research, Royal Holloway Music Department for conference grants, My proofreaders, Holly Winterton, Sarah Beal, Janet McKnight and my Mum, My parents and my fiancé, Chris Wedge, for moral support and encouragement. Declaration of Authorship I, Katherine Butler, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract In their Cantiones sacrae (1575), court musicians William Byrd and Thomas Tallis declared that ‘music is indispensable to the state’ (necessarium reipub.). Yet although the relationship between Elizabethan politics and literature has been studied often, there has been little research into the political functions of music. Most accounts of court music consist of documentary research into the personnel, institutions and performance occasions, and generally assume that music’s functions were limited to entertainment and displays of magnificence. However, Elizabethans believed that musical concord promoted a social harmony that would ease the process of government; hence politics and music were seen as closely connected. This thesis is an interdisciplinary investigation into the role of music in constructing royal and courtly identities and influencing Elizabeth’s policies and patronage.

  • The Earl Marshal, the Heralds, and the House of Commons, 1604–1641
    P. H. HARDACRE THE EARL MARSHAL, THE HERALDS, AND THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, 1604-16411 The successful reassertion of the authority of the Court of the Earl Marshal, in the recent case of the Corporation of Manchester vs. The Manchester Palace of Varieties, Ltd., has renewed interest in this ancient institution. The court ruled that The Manchester Palace of Varieties had wrongly displayed the heraldic arms of the Corporation, contrary to the laws and customs of arms, and that the court itself, which had last sat in 1751 and which Blackstone described as having fallen into contempt and disuse, was still empowered to give relief to those who thought themselves aggrieved in such matters.2 A full account of the Court of the Earl Marshal is much to be de- sired.3 It cannot be attempted in the space of this paper, but one period 1 The author gratefully acknowledges a summer fellowship at the Folger Shake- speare Library which enabled him to do part of the research.

    1 ABSTRACTS Aviva Burnstock Head of the Department of Conservation and Technology, The Courtauld Institute Interpreting technical and analytical evidence in historical context The presentation will introduce analytical and technical methods for characterisation of materials and techniques used for paintings, illustrated by their application for the study of selected works made in England and the Netherlands in the 16thC. The examples will illustrate the challenges posed by interpretation of the technical data, how inferences about technique are made and the limitations of the methods. Methods will include high quality technical photography, light microscopy, X-radiography, infrared imaging, preparation of samples for study of pigments, the application of paint layers and surface topography, analysis of organic materials and selected novel techniques. The significance of the technical evidence for inferring specific origins and processes of manufacture, as well as the assessment of the condition of paintings will be discussed, and how the evaluation of material changes in paintings can be used by conservators and historians. Ian Tyers Dendrochronologist Understanding the trade, production and use of wooden panels for paintings in sixteenth and seventeenth century England Using extensive data gathered for the analysis of Tudor and Jacobean panels via Dendrochronology (including over 90 panels for the NPG) this paper will explore a range of issues relating to the trade, production and usage of wooden panel for painted images in England. The trade in oak panels from the Baltic and occasional use of English oak will be explored and preliminary evidence of regarding the construction of surviving panels will be presented. The paper will also hope to set out some of the evidence for patterns in usage at this period particularly addressing evidence for the usage time after felling and questions of interpretations for date ranges.

  • The Unnatural Tragedy
    THE UNNATURAL TRAGEDY MARGARET CAVENDISH EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY ANDREW DUXFIELD UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL CONTENTS INTRODUCTION iii Margaret Cavendish (née Lucas) Achievements and Reputation iii Life and Work iv The Unnatural Tragedy The Play and Its Source x Nature and the Unnatural xii The Text and the Edition xx THE UNNATURAL TRAGEDY 1 BIBLIOGRAPHY 72 ii Introduction Margaret Cavendish (née Lucas) Achievements and Reputation Margaret Cavendish was, by any measure, an extraordinary woman. Living, roughly speaking, through the middle fifty years of the seventeenth century, she occupied a time and place where opportunities for female self-expression were limited. Female contributions to literary and intellectual life were not unheard of in the period — writers like Isabella Whitney, Aemilia Lanyer, Mary Herbert, Elizabeth Cary and Lady Mary Wroth had all published plays, poems or translations by the time Cavendish saw her name in print — but such contributions were intermittent and tended to be limited in extent, if not in significance; the five aforementioned authors had between them only seven published works (or eight, if one includes Mary Herbert’s edition of Philip Sidney’s Arcadia). With that in mind, the volume of Cavendish’s output alone marks her as unique. She published twenty-three works (including revised second editions) in her lifetime, several of which were themselves substantial collections of smaller works. More extraordinary still is the thematic and disciplinary range of her work: her oeuvre comprises

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. Evidence of book ownership in this period is manifested in a variety of ways, which need to be brought together if we are to develop that fuller picture.

  • Images of Elizabeth I by Contrasting These Two Pictures
    Lecture (2 hours with a 15 minute break) • When Elizabeth came to the throne in 1558 she was besieged by problems. The had been terrible harvests in the previous two years and rampant inflation partly caused by Henry VIII’s reducing the silver content of coins. In the previous eleven years the country had veered from extreme Protestantism to extreme Catholicism and in 1558 the country had lost Calais, its last remnant of French territory. In addition to all this Elizabeth was a woman and it was assumed she would soon marry with the danger of the country being run by a foreigner for their own country’s interests. • Yet, by the end of her reign, England was a world power. Pope Sixtus V could not understand it: "She is only a woman, only mistress of half an island, and yet she makes herself feared by Spain, by France, by all". • How did she do it? She was intelligent, shrewd, chose her advisers well and became popular by creating and reinforcing powerful images of herself. This talk explores those images and we start by comparing two. Notes (Wikipedia and other sites & books) • Education. The nobility had a different education from us, Lady Elizabeth for example, was taught grammar, theology, history, rhetoric, logic, philosophy, arithmetic, literature, geometry, music and above all languages. By the age of eleven Elizabeth was able to speak fluently in six languages - French, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Welsh and of course English. • Many of her closest advisors were similarly schooled and Elizabethans loved puzzles, word play, and decoding obscure references.
