NOTES TO THE POEMS Prmtelf for tlje Sotietg bg WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS LTD. EDINBURGH AND LONDON 1934 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN AIL RIGHTS RESERVED NOTE. The third volume of the Scottish Text Society’s edition of The Works of Sir David Lindsay contains only the notes to the poems. Vol. IV. will contain (a) Introduction, [h) Bibliography, (c) notes to Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis, (d) Appendices, (e) Indexes, (/) Glossary. Of these, the Bibliography and Appendices are in type, the notes to Ane Satyre are at the press, and the Indexes and Glossary almost ready. The notes to The Monarche contain a few of the more interesting readings from the last eighteenth century edition, published in 1776. For the loan of a copy of this edition I am indebted to Professor G. Bullough, of the University of Sheffield. It was received too late for use in the minor poems, and is slightly defective, lacking the first 347 lines of the major poem. A few additional notes are given at the end of this volume. I would also like to draw attention to proposed emendations of the text, given at the beginning of the notes to each poem. These are additional to those already made, detailed under “ Corrections,” again at the head of the notes to each poem. CONTENTS NOTES PAGE I. THE DREME OF SCHIR DAUID LYNDESAY . I II.

Date : Chalmers, I. 54, dated the poem 1528. Drawing attention to line 905— “ our infatuate heidis Insolent. Hauand small Ee vnto the comoun weill, Bot to thare singulare proffect euerilk deill. he remarked, “ This, then, is a pretty plain description of the sad misrule of the Douglasses, which ended with the king’s acquirement of power, in July 1528. The Dreme, of course, must have been written after the terror of their domination had disappeared. The poet makes Jhone the Commonweill describe the state of the southern borders, where nothing could be seen but reij, theft, [murderand mischief [953-959]- This description was true, before the king caused severe justice to be inflicted on the principal thieves, and reclaimed the borders, in 1529, after the expulsion of the Douglasses. ... The Dreme . then . was written towards the end of the year 1528.” This is, I think, sound. Chalmers omitted to mention that the state of the Highlands and the Hebrides is also touched upon [960-967]. These were also the object of James’s attention in 1529. There is also a direct reference to the " Ciuele weir ” [992], and although this is VOL. III. A 2 THE WORKS OF SIR DAVID LINDSAY spoken of as in the present, Lindsay must be referring not to the fighting of 1526 but to the cleaning up of the country in 1528 after the flight of the Douglases. Lastly, the King is unmarried, and his marriage has evidently not been thought of [1095]. Authorities : Lindsay does not appear to have used a single authority. The many parallels between The Dreme and The Monarche [cf. note to Dreme, 761, 763, 769] indicate that Lindsay’s source or sources satisfied him equally in 1528 and 1550. In the cosmographical portion of the poem he refers to the authority of “ The Auctour of the Speir ” [639, 658], probably Sacro Bosco’s Sphcera Mundi, in one of its many editions. He also refers to Pliny and Ptolemy [748], but whether on traditional grounds or not I cannot say. He may well have known an edition of Pliny. The list of countries and islands [659-742] does not help, since nearly all the names are also found in the Liber Chronicarum seu Chronicon Nurembergensis (1493), in Claude de Seissel’s Le Premier [and Second] Volume de Orose (1509, 1526), and in the Cronica Cronicarum abbrege (1521, 1532), of all of which Lindsay made use in The Monarche. The lists given in these works are fuller than Lindsay’s, who chooses only those names he can fit into metre, but interpolates one or two others. Miss Janet M. Smith, The French Background of Middle Scots Litera- ture, Edinburgh, Oliver & Boyd, 1934, P- I32< suggests that Lindsay used the cosmographical portion of Antoine de la Sale’s La Salade [c. 1437]. She was evidently unaware of the works cited above, and her arguments are not supported by parallels. I have also seen this work, with many others, but have rejected it because of the inadequacy of the parallels, and because there is no other evidence of Lindsay having used the work. Miss Smith advances three arguments in support of her theory : (1) both works conclude with descriptions of the Earthly Paradise, (2) La Sale’s book contained a map, (3) " the position of La Sale as tutor to a prince would naturally appeal to Lindsay.” There is no relationship between La Sale’s description of the Earthly Paradise and Lindsay’s. A much better one exists with that in the Liber Chroni- carum, which also contains really valuable maps in place of the poverty- stricken map in La Sale. Lastly, Miss Smith appears to think that Lindsay was tutor to James V. ; he wasn’t. I see no reason to include La Salade among Lindsay’s authorities. Textual Variants : On the whole the text is bad, perhaps the worst of all the poems. Besides the long list of corrections given above, themselves an indication of textual degradation, the differences between the texts of 1558 [Jascuy], 1559 [Scot], and 1566 [Purfoote] are numerous enough to warrant the assumption that the poem was circulated in three or more forms. A quarto edition was probably published in 1529 or 1530 [Hamer, The Bibliography of Sir David Lindsay, The Library, June 1929, Vol. X., pp. 1-42], but of this there is no trace, so that although 1558 was a paginary reprint, we cannot tell what was the original state of the text. A selection of readings from the three editions mentioned will illustrate the variations in the texts. It will be noticed that 1566 sometimes agrees with 1558 and at others with 1559.

Thus there is adequate ground for believing that at the time of Lindsay’s death in 1555 there existed more than one recension of the poem. It is traditional to use 1559 (though Chalmers used the octavo 1558), partly because it was printed in Scotland, partly because Jascuy's two editions of 1558 introduce a number of recognisably new errors, and possibly a vast number of unrecognisable errors. Hence, although I am convinced that Jascuy’s edition is a paginary reprint of the lost edition by Davidson, and must reproduce many of the spellings of that early edition, it cannot form the basis of a modern edition.

  • Kirkandrews on Esk: Introduction1
    Victoria County History of Cumbria Project: Work in Progress Interim Draft [Note: This is an incomplete, interim draft and should not be cited without first consulting the VCH Cumbria project: for contact details, see http://www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/] Parish/township: KIRKANDREWS ON ESK Author: Fay V. Winkworth Date of draft: January 2013 KIRKANDREWS ON ESK: INTRODUCTION1 1. Description and location Kirkandrews on Esk is a large rural, sparsely populated parish in the north west of Cumbria bordering on Scotland. It extends nearly 10 miles in a north-east direction from the Solway Firth, with an average breadth of 3 miles. It comprised 10,891 acres (4,407 ha) in 1864 2 and 11,124 acres (4,502 ha) in 1938. 3 Originally part of the barony of Liddel, its history is closely linked with the neighbouring parish of Arthuret. The nearest town is Longtown (just across the River Esk in Arthuret parish). Kirkandrews on Esk, named after the church of St. Andrews 4, lies about 11 miles north of Carlisle. This parish is separated from Scotland by the rivers Sark and Liddel as well as the Scotsdike, a mound of earth erected in 1552 to divide the English Debatable lands from the Scottish. It is bounded on the south and east by Arthuret and Rockcliffe parishes and on the north east by Nicholforest, formerly a chapelry within Kirkandrews which became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1744. The border with Arthuret is marked by the River Esk and the Carwinley burn. 1 The author thanks the following for their assistance during the preparation of this article: Ian Winkworth, Richard Brockington, William Bundred, Chairman of Kirkandrews Parish Council, Gillian Massiah, publicity officer Kirkandrews on Esk church, Ivor Gray and local residents of Kirkandrews on Esk, David Grisenthwaite for his detailed information on buses in this parish; David Bowcock, Tom Robson and the staff of Cumbria Archive Centre, Carlisle; Stephen White at Carlisle Central Library.

  • 1 the Middle Ages
    THE MIDDLE AGES 1 1 The Middle Ages Introduction The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years, from the break-up of the Roman Empire in the fifth century to the end of the fifteenth, when there was an awareness that a ‘dark time’ (Rabelais dismissively called it ‘gothic’) separated the present from the classical world. During this medium aevum or ‘Middle Age’, situated between classical antiquity and modern times, the centre of the world moved north as the civil- ization of the Mediterranean joined forces with the vigorous culture of temperate Europe. Rather than an Age, however, it is more appropriate to speak of Ages, for surges of decay and renewal over ten centuries redrew the political, social and cultural map of Europe, by war, marriage and treaty. By the sixth century, Christianity was replacing older gods and the organized fabric of the Roman Empire had been eroded and trading patterns disrupted. Although the Church kept administrative structures and learning alive, barbarian encroachments from the north and Saracen invasions from the south posed a continuing threat. The work of undoing the fragmentation of Rome’s imperial domain was undertaken by Charlemagne (742–814), who created a Holy Roman Empire, and subsequently by his successors over many centuries who, in bursts of military and administrative activity, bought, earned or coerced the loyalty of the rulers of the many duchies and comtés which formed the patchwork of feudal territories that was France. This process of centralization proceeded at variable speeds. After the break-up of Charlemagne’s empire at the end of the tenth century, ‘France’ was a kingdom which occupied the region now known as 2 THE MIDDLE AGES the Île de France.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

This paper provides a summary of the long history of warfare and conflict in Scotland which has given rise to a large number of battlefield sites. Recent moves to highlight the archaeological importance of these sites, in the form of Historic Scotland’s Battlefields Inventory are discussed, along with some of the problems associated with the preservation and management of these important cultural sites. 2 Keywords Battlefields; Conflict Archaeology; Management 3 Introduction Battlefield archaeology is a relatively recent development within the field of historical archaeology, which, in the UK at least, has itself not long been established within the archaeological mainstream. Within the present context it is noteworthy that Scotland has played an important role in this process, with the first international conference devoted to battlefield archaeology taking place at the University of Glasgow in 2000 (Freeman and Pollard, 2001).

  • HENRY VIII TRAIL the Story of Henry’S Visit with His Allegedly Adulterous Queen, Catherine Howard in 1541
    HENRY VIII TRAIL The story of Henry’s visit with his allegedly adulterous Queen, Catherine Howard in 1541. The King sat nearly 2 weeks, ulcerous, syphilitic and constipated, fuming and waiting for his nephew James V of Scotland to attend a peace conference that never happened. Lavish preparations were made for the King’s reception by a City Council so terrified of the King after the Pilgrimage of Grace that they grovelled in the mud to meet him. Henry also closed down all the Monasteries and hospitals in York, even the public lavatories, because of alleged hanky-panky by the monks and nuns. St Leonards Hospital This was founded by King Athelstan in 935 AD as the Hospital of St Peter’s and may go back even further. It was refounded as the Hospital of St Leonard by King Stephen after the great fire of York in 1137. At its height the Hospital stretched almost the Minster-the Theatre Royal is built on its Undercrofts and the Red House incorporates part of its gatehouse. The Time Team Excavation of 1999 and At its height it had over 200 people in its care ranging from the poor to those who chose to retire there to live out their days. It had 13 Augustinian Canons, 8 Nuns plus Lay Brothers and servants making perhaps 300 people in all. It was surrendered to the Crown in 1539 and all had to leave. It was the last of the great religious house in York to close on 1st Dec 1540. The last Master, Thomas Magnus, got a manor at Beningbrough Grange.

  • Sanitation in Urban Britain, 1560–1700
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 21:08 20 August 2016 Sanitation in Urban Britain, 1560–1700 Popular belief holds that throwing the contents of a chamber pot into the street was a common occurrence during the early modern period. This book challenges this deeply entrenched stereotypical image as the majority of urban inhabitants and their local governors alike valued clean outdoor public spaces, vesting interest in keeping the areas in which they lived and worked clean. Taking an extensive tour of over thirty towns and cities across early modern Britain, focusing on Edinburgh and York as in-depth case studies, this book sheds light on the complex relationship between how governors organized street cleaning, managed waste disposal and regulated the cleanliness of the outdoor environment, top-down, and how typical urban inhabitants self-regulated their neighbourhoods, bottom-up. The urban-rural manure trade, sanitation infrastructure, waste-disposal technology, plague epidemics, contemporary understandings of malodours and miasmatic disease transmission and urban agriculture are also analysed. This book will enable undergraduates, postgraduates and established academics to deepen their understanding of daily life and sensory experiences in the early modern British town. This innovative work will appeal to social, cultural and legal historians as well as researchers of history of medicine and public health. Leona J.

When Two Become One: Sacramental Woes And Theological Anxiety In Medieval Representations Of Marriage Abstract This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers.

  • Clan Ruthven Story from Web Site
    Clan Ruthven Story from web site: http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/ntor/ruthven2.html The Ruthvens are said to be of Norse origin taking their name from the lands of Ruthven, Rannoch in Perthshire. The Ruthvens increased their strength by an early marriage to a Cameron heiress and in 1487, Sir William of Ruthven was created a peer. Patrick, 3rd Lord Ruthven took a leading part in the murder of David Rizzio, Mary Queen of Scots Italian secretary at Holyrood Palace in 1566 at the instigation of Lord Darnley the Queen's husband. Darnley was let off the charge of murder so Ruthven was forced to flee to England where he died soon afterwards. However despite the obvious threat a Ruthven bore, the 4th Lord, William found favor with the young King James VI and was created Earl of Gowrie in 1581. The next year though he was with the Presbyterian earls in the Raid of Ruthven when the 16 year old King James VI was seized and held prisoner in Ruthven Castle Perth for nearly a year. This incident was said to be in defense of the religion of the kingdom but in reality it was to get rid of the King's favorites, the Duke of Lennox and Stewart and the Earl of Atholl. The King pardoned the Earl of Gowrie for his part but on Arran's ascendancy to the King's favor they were again declared traitors. Already Gowrie was in correspondence with his accomplices Mar and Glamis. They planned to capture the King and Stirling Castle; however, he was captured and beheaded before the plan was enacted.
