Excerpt: ... commerce Calais had practically no native industries. The produce of corn-growing districts was absorbed in feeding the garrison and civil population, and even such common necessaries as timber and ordinary provisions seem to have been transported from England. A scanty source of profit was provided by the gathering and preparation of mint, which was used for medicinal purposes. The King used to name the receiver of the produce of this industry, as, for instance, in 1446, when a certain Richard Vernon was appointed. More important was the herring trade. The process of salting herrings, invented by William Benchelens of Barsliet in 1416, enabled herrings to be sold at long distance from the scene of their capture, and the convenient situation of Calais rendered it an important centre for this industry. Beer-brewing was also important. The presence of so many beer-loving English soldiers rendered it a necessity, and beer-houses were numerous throughout the town. So indispensable was beer to the garrison that Wentworth, in a despatch to Queen Mary in 1558, excused himself for not having opened the sluices and let in the sea upon the besieging French on the score that he feared" infesting the water wherewith we brew" with salt water.1 1 Archaologia, vol. liii., p. 312, where other instances are given of the importance of beer-brewing. I But the true commercial importance of Calais lay in the fact that it was the vent for English trade. For 200 years the commercial history of Calais is practically the commercial history of England. For military purposes Calais was the " gate into France"; from the standpoint of commerce Calais was a gate out of England. That without the Staple Calais would have lost half its importance is undisputed, and...

Download or read book Calais written by Julian Whitehead and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1347 six bare footed men knelt before King Edward III with nooses around their necks to beg for their lives and present him with the keys to Calais. This was the dramatic beginning of Calais becoming England’s first colony and an integral part of the kingdom for over two hundred years. From its capture to the present day, Calais has played a significant part in many of the major events in UK’s history whether it be in claiming the throne of France, the Field of the Cloth of Gold, the Armada, Dunkirk, D-Day deception or the Calais Jungle and Brexit. Calais, a History of England’s First Colony, describes how the destinies of England and Calais have been entwined particularly for invasions of France, then after its loss, for invasions of England. Julian Whitehead guides the reader through potentially complicated periods such as the Hundred Years War and the Wars of the Roses in his customary clear and engaging fashion. This readable book provides a fascinating overview of Anglo/French relations during the last six hundred years while bringing to life the individuals who helped to create this remarkable history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: This collection of essays is based on papers delivered at a conference held at the Public Record Office in November 1999. The purpose of the book is to highlight the close links between England and France and the role of England and Englishmen in Renaissance Europe. It provides a statement of current research by the leading scholars in that field and should serve as a basis both for teaching and for further work. It is necessary to fill the gap that exists in the history of this period, which is currently concentrated in narrative, diplomatic history or general surveys of the role of England in Europe. This coherent set of essays, built around complementary themes, and with the addition of a historiographical and thematic introduction, focuses solely on England and France in the period after the end of the Hundred Years War and before the onset of French Wars of Religion.
