Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Lisle's Daughter: A Novel They were a simple, kindly race, the people who dwelt in Deepdale - far behind the rest of the world in knowledge. The weather and the crops were their two chief subjects of conversation and anxiety. Strangers seldom came near the village; the railway had not broken upon its tranquil calm. There were many such quiet, sunny nooks in old England years ago, but they are rare now. The houses were scattered; there was no regular street; a group of cottages stood under the tall poplar-trees' another in the midst of flower gardens; little villas were dotted here and there, half hidden by luxuriant foliage. Perhaps the most picturesque spot in Deepdale was Meadow Lane, one of: those broad green lanes only seen in England; the hedges filled with wild roses and eglantine; hawthorn-trees perfuming the clear, summer air, and wild flowers growing in rich_ profusion.

Download or read book Arthur Plantagenet written by Sarah-Beth Watkins and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illegitimate son to Edward IV and the uncle of Henry VIII, Arthur Plantagenet’s life is an intriguing story. Raised in his father’s court, he then became a trusted member of Henry VII’s household and after his death, was a prominent figure at the court of Henry VIII. Henry VIII treated his uncle well in the early years of his reign, making him vice-admiral and then Lord Deputy of Calais in 1533. Arthur did the best he could in his new position in Calais over seven years, including trying to maintain a relationship with Thomas Cromwell against a background of religious change, but there were numerous complaints about him and his paranoid nephew’s suspicions over his loyalty grew – culminating in Lisle’s arrest and imprisonment for two years with no legal reason. Arthur was released from the Tower in 1542, yet tragically died after receiving a diamond ring from his nephew. He was so excited that his heart – that ‘gentlest living heart’ – failed soon after. We owe much of what we know about Henry VIII’s uncle to the seizure and preservation of the Lisle Letters, an impressive collection of correspondence obtained at his arrest that has miraculously survived. Not only do they give details of Arthur’s life, but they are an amazing insight into the religious, political, culture and social background of the 16th century. Placed as he was, Arthur Plantagenet’s story gives a whole new, fresh perspective on a turbulent yet vibrant period of history.
Download or read book After Elizabeth written by Leanda De Lisle and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Focussing on the intense period of raised hopes and dashed expectations between Christmas 1602 and Christmas 1603, Leanda de Lisle tells in detail the story of Elizabeth's death and how the suffocating conservatism of her rule was replaced with that of the energetic, seemingly fair-minded James." "As James journeys south from Scotland, he is confronted with the extraordinary wealth of his new kingdom, but also with English contempt for his Scots entourage and a stubborn rejection of his hopes for the union of Britain. As the welcome turns sour, those who are disappointed in James turn to intrique and hatch plots against him before the crown is even on his head. Lives are lost and fortunes won in the struggle for power and influence."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard III is undoubtedly the dominant personality in this collection of essays, but not in his capacity as king of England. Richard was Duke of Gloucester far longer than he was king. For most of his career, he was a subject, not a monarch, the equal of the great nobility. He is seen here in the company of his fellows: Warwick the Kingmaker, Clarence, Northumberland, Somerset, Hastings a the Wydevilles. His relations with these rivals, all of whom submitted to him or were crushed, show him in different moods and from various vantage points.
