LORD RANDAL , the great enemy of Llewellyn , found himself one day surprised , in his castle of Rothlent , in Flintshire , by a very superior force ; he sent an express to his great general , Roger Lacy , Constable of Chester , desiring immediate relief . This express found Lacy at Chester , during the anniversary of the Midsummer fair . The occasion was urgent , and the general , we conclude , having no regular force at his disposal , marched im mediately to the relief of Earl Randal with a vast ( as we should say in Cheshire ) of players , fiddlers , musicians , minstrels , and any other vagabonds he could assemble , whom chance had drawn to the same focus by the load stone of the fair . Llewellyn , alarmed at the approach of this multitude , raised the siege with the utmost pre cipitation . When Earl Randal's triumphant cavalcade made its public entry into Chester , after their success viii Preface . in forcing Llewellyn to raise the siege , it is most probable that the victorious minstrels played before the Earl ; and it is known that the minstrels ( at the annual feast kept on the Midsummer commemoration of the anniversary of the day ) always headed the procession to St. John's Church , playing on their instruments before the Lord of Dutton , the Earl of Chester's representative , to whom the Constable's son , John Lacy , had transferred the minstrel prerogative given by Earl Randal to his father , with other rights and privileges , upon his return to Chester after his rescue from Llewellyn . The father of this Rafe Dutton is supposed to have marched at the head of the band of minstrels , against Llewellyn , as mentioned above . The anniversary of the solemnity was celebrated on the festival of John the Baptist , by a procession of all the minstrels to the church dedicated to this tutelary Saint in the city of Chester . After having been con stantly observed for at least five hundred and fifty years , the procession seems to have been discontinued A.D. 1758 , about a century since . To prove how some exclusive privileges ( of which the licensing minstrels granted by our Cheshire monarch was one ) were respected by the legislature , we find that the Act 29 of Elizabeth , which declares all itinerant minstrels to be vagabonds , particularly excepts the Preface . ix minstrel jurisdiction of John Dutton , of Dutton in Che shire , Esquire . It was not , then , very unnatural for me to suppose that Cheshire ( the former abode , and latest stronghold , of the minstrels of England ) would be es pecially rich in the songs , ballads , and relics of minstrels and minstrelsy , beyond any other county . The result , however ( as far as my own inquiries have extended ) , has not justified nor realised my anticipations . In my small collection I have not been able to include a single specimen that I can positively assert to be a remnant of the legitimate minstrels of Cheshire ; and with the exception of Geoffrey Whitney , Broome , and Parnell , I know of no Cheshire - born poets of the past age ; for Reginald Heber , though gone , can hardly yet rank with the past , nor like Rowland Warburton with the present age . I have seen many election squibs , personalities , & c . , of auld lang syne , but have reproduced none of them ; for if there is one thing more than another ephemeral , and incomprehensible and uninteresting even to the next generation , it is an election squib . Like a rocket or shell , its one discharge may have been fatal , but it is innocuous ever afterwards , and the débris not worth collecting . I have avoided almost all topographical descriptions , which are generally uninteresting to the mind , however the sight of the beauties of nature may delight and charm X Preface . the eye . I have steered clear of prologues , epilogues , laments , and elegies ; I have transcribed but few epitaphs ; I have rigorously excluded first views , fare wells , et hoc genus omne . My history may be proved faulty . I am aware , for instance , that , according to Hume , Edward I. on his return from the Holy Land , after hearing of his father's death at Sicily , landed in France before visiting England . I have only made him do what he ought to have done — namely , go home first ; and Grafton , in his Chronicle , corroborates my version . " Wherefore in all hast he ( Edward I. ) sped him into England , and came to London the seconde of August , & c . Sir Walter Scott observed to a friend who pointed out to him an inaccuracy in his · Bonnets of Bonny Dundee , ' We cannot always be particular in a ballad . ' It may be alleged of one of the ballads written by my talented friend Mr. John Leigh , “ The Knight's Lowe and Lady's Grave ,' that Sir Piers Legh ( of Agincourt fame ) is buried at Macclesfield ; but who shall say that he was not first buried on Knight's Lowe ? It is difficult to prove a negative , and great people's remains in former times were buried piecemeal in different places . Canova , all the dismembered saints ( and quite recently the late King of Prussia ) , are xi Preface . examples of this . Grafton , in his Chronicle , in speaking of Richard I. says : ‘ He was buried , as he himself willed , at Everard , at the feet of his father ; howbeit at his hart was buried at Roen , and his Bowelles Poytiers .' If I have been disappointed in not having met any minstrel relics , I have been equally so in the paucity of our legends ; but Cheshire , generally speaking , is a flat county , and the ideal flourishes most amongst mountains and streams ; and few even of our many castles and sites of castles have any extant traditionary lore attached to them , or it would long since have been unearthed by Mr. Beamont , or some other of our zea lous county antiquaries . I have been in correspond ence , in the course of my inquiries after the past , with many gentlemen and antiquaries , from all of whom I have met undeviating kindness ; and if I have in a great degree been unsuccessful in my researches , I believe that the actual non - existence , or I may rather say dis appearance , of material has been the cause of failure . A long hiatus elapsed between the invention of print ing and the energetic pursuit of antiquarian lore . Printing at put an end to the story - teller's occupation ; but did the time the live books were discarded , the new art oral not , whilst there was yet time , collect the stories of xii Preface . tradition , and the treasures of auld lang syne , and pre serve and pot them for posterity . Wherever I have found anything that suited my purpose , I have copied it like ' The Old Man outwitted ,' and other extracts , from Halliwell's Palatine Anthology .' Halliwell was himself . disappointed at the poverty of materials for his work to I have strictly kept to Cheshire . Had I travelled Derbyshire , Lancashire , and other adjacent counties , my , but field of material would at once have extended itself ' my object has been to collect a Cheshire Garland purely and solely . Should this collection be the means of eliciting any hitherto concealed broadsides , or bringing or from their dusty retreat any black letter curiosities , manuscript legends and ballads relating to Cheshire my trouble , or rather my amusement , may not be thrown antiquarian away . I may be the jackal to some future lion , and I may be the means of putting into the heads of efficient men the idea of collecting the ballads , legends , and odds and ends of the past , belonging to their respec tive counties , before the wave of oblivion closes over the fast disappearing materials . I have rejected some able articles on Cheshire , the source of which was entirely owing to the imagination , and not to some , however faint , traditional foundation , or which might well from their length be published alone .

  • CHRONICLES of THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, with NOTICES of the SUCCESSIVE LORDS of THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &C
    379 CHRONICLES OF THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, WITH NOTICES OF THE SUCCESSIVE LORDS OF THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &c. &c. THELWALL is a township situate within the parochial chapelry of Daresbury, and parish of Runcorn, in the East Division of the hundred of Bucklew, and deanery of Frodsham, co. Chester. It is unquestionably a place of very great antiquity, and so meagre an account has been hitherto published a as to its early history and possessors, that an attempt more fully to elucidate the subject, and to concentrate, and thereby preserve, the scat• tered fragments which yet remain as to it, from the general wreck of time, cannot fail, it is anticipated, to prove both accept• able and interesting. The earliest mention that is to be met with of Thelwall appears in the Saxon Chronicle, from which we find that, in the year 923, King Edward the Elder, son of King Alfred, made it a garrison for his soldiers, and surrounded it with fortifications. By most writers it is stated to have been founded by this monarch, but the opinion prevails with some others that it was in existence long before, and was only restored by him. Towards the latter part of the year 923, King Edward is recorded to have visited this place himself, and for some time made it his residence, whilst other portion of his troops were engaged in repairing and manning Manchester. These warlike preparations, it may be observed, were rendered necessary in consequence of Ethelwald, the son of King Ethelbert, disputing the title of Edward.

  • Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton
    A Transformed Life? Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton. Despite the volume of scholarship dedicated to crusade motivation, comparative little has been said on how the crusades affected the lives of individuals, and how this played out once the returned home. Taking as a case study a Cheshire landholder, Geoffrey of Dutton, this article looks at the reasons for his crusade participation and his actions once he returned to Cheshire, arguing that he was changed by his experiences to the extent that he was concerned with remembering and conveying his own status as a returned pilgrim. It also looks at the impact of a relic of the True Cross he brought back and gave to the Augustinian priory of Norton. Keywords: crusade; relic; Norton Priory; burial; seal An extensive body of scholarship has considered what motivated people to go on crusade in the middle ages (piety, obligation and service, family connections and ties of lordship, punishment and escape), as well as what impact that had across Europe in terms of recruitment, funding and organisation. Far less has been said about the more personal impact of crusading for individuals who took part. This is largely due to the nature of the sources from which, according to Housley, ‘not much can be inferred…about the response of the majority of crusaders to what they’d gone through in the East.’1 With the exception of accounts of the post-crusading careers of the most important individuals, notably Louis IX of France, very little was written about how crusaders responded to taking part in an overseas campaign which mixed the height of spiritual endeavour with extreme violence.

  • THE ANCIENT BOKOUGH of OVER, CHESHIRE. by Thomas Rigby Esq
    THE ANCIENT BOKOUGH OF OVER, CHESHIRE. By Thomas Rigby Esq. (RsiD IST DECEMBER, 1864.J ALMOST every village has some little history of interest attached to it. Almost every country nook has its old church, round which moss-grown gravestones are clustered, where The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. These lithic records tell us who lived and loved and laboured at the world's work long, long ago. Almost every line of railroad passes some ivy-mantled ruin that, in its prime, had armed men thronging on its embattled walls. Old halls, amid older trees old thatched cottages, with their narrow windows, are mutely eloquent of the past. The stories our grandfathers believed in, we only smile at; but we reverence the spinning wheel, the lace cushion, the burnished pewter plates, the carved high-backed chairs, the spindle-legged tables, the wainscoted walls and cosy " ingle nooks." Hath not each its narrative ? These are all interesting objects of the bygone time, and a story might be made from every one of them, could we know where to look for it. With this feeling I have undertaken to say a few words about the ancient borough of Over in Cheshire, where I reside; and, although the notes I have collected may not be specially remarkable, they may perhaps assist some more able writer to complete a record of more importance. Over is a small towu, nearly in the centre of Cheshire. It consists of one long street, crossed at right angles by Over u Lane, which stretches as far as Winsford, and is distant about two miles from the Winsford station on the London and North-Western Railway.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11Th to 15Th Centuries)
    Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11th to 15th centuries) The Norman Conquest The Norman Conquest was followed by rebellions in the north. In the summer of 1069 Norman armies laid waste to Yorkshire and Northumbria, and then crossed the Pennines into Cheshire where a rebellion had broken out in the autumn – they devastated the eastern lowlands, especially Macclesfield, and then moved on to Chester, which was ‘greatly wasted’ according to Domesday Book – the number of houses paying tax had been reduced from 487 to 282 (by 42 per cent). The Wirral too has a line of wasted manors running through the middle of the peninsula. Frequently the tax valuations for 1086 in the Domesday Book are only a fraction of that for 1066. Castles After the occupation of Chester in 1070 William built a motte and bailey castle next to the city, which was rebuilt in stone in the twelfth century and became the major royal castle in the region. The walls of Chester were reconstructed in the twelfth century. Other castles were built across Cheshire, as military strongholds and as headquarters for local administration and the management of landed estates. Many were small and temporary motte and bailey castles, while the more important were rebuilt in stone, e.g. at Halton and Frodsham [?] . The castle at Shotwick, originally on the Dee estuary, protecting a quay which was an embarkation point for Ireland and a ford across the Dee sands. Beeston castle, built on a huge crag over the plain, was built in 1220 by the earl of Chester, Ranulf de Blondeville.

By George Ormerod, D.C.L., F.R.S. and F.S.A. The LANCASHIRE HOUSE of NOEBES, and its SPEKE branch in particular, are among the strongest instances of the difficulty of investigating family history, where traditional antiquity and chivalrous descent have been acquiesced in from generation to generation. In such investigations the evidence of Records and Charters will often be found ample, but the labour of searching out and arranging it will as often be trifling when compared with the ungracious process of explaining errors in early compilations grown venerable from time; and such difficulty is created in the present case by the pedigree entered by Sir William Norres in the Visitation of 1567.
