Download or read book Dress at the Court of King Henry VIII written by Maria Hayward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry VIII used his wardrobe, and that of his family and household, as a way of expressing his wealth and magnificence. This book encompasses the first detailed study of male and female dress worn at the court of Henry VIII (1509-47) and covers the dress of the king and his immediate family, the royal household and the broader court circle. Henry VIII's wardrobe is set in context by a study of Henry VII's clothes, court and household. ~ ~ As none of Henry VIII's clothes survive, evidence is drawn primarily from the great wardrobe accounts, wardrobe warrants, and inventories, and is interpreted using evidence from narrative sources, paintings, drawings and a small selection of contemporary garments, mainly from European collections. ~ ~ Key areas for consideration include the king's personal wardrobe, how Henry VIII's queens used their clothes to define their status, the textiles provided for the pattern of royal coronations, marriages and funerals and the role of the great wardrobe, wardrobe of the robes and laundry. In addition there is information on the cut and construction of garments, materials and colours, dr given as gifts, the function of livery and the hierarchy of dress within the royal household, and the network of craftsmen working for the court. The text is accompanied by full transcripts of James Worsley's wardrobe books of 1516 and 1521 which provide a brief glimpse of the king's clothes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible Code is unlocked and opened to us since the invention of the computer, and it may reveal secrets that have puzzled us for generations.

What was behind the disappearance of Harold Holt Australian Prime Minister at Cheviot Beach in 1965? Barack Obama - is he safe from racist threat by the Ku Klux Klan and other extremists? What can we all do to protect him? Waris Dirie, why does her name appear in The Bible Code? Will they discover "the God particle" in the Hadron Collider, built deep in a tunnel under the Swiss Alps, when they smash proton into proton to re-enact the Einsteinien Big Bang theory of how life began? Are we living in a 12 dimensional world, not 4 = (3 space + 1 time) that will prove the string theory true? Is time like a multi-lane highway, moving in an infinite circle? All these questions and more may be answered in a book 3,000 years old, The Bible.

Download or read book Llywelyn ap Gruffudd written by J. Beverley Smith and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Llywelyn ap Gruffudd: Prince of Wales is an outstanding work by an author with a perceptive understanding of the complexities of his subject. It is clearly, sometimes passionately, written and is destined to be the definitive work on this matter for many generations. This is the first full-length English-language study of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (c. 1225-1282), prince of Wales. In this scholarly and lucid book J. Beverley Smith offers an in-depth assessment not only of Llywelyn, but of the age in which he lived. The author takes thirteenth-century Wales as a backdrop against which he analyses the relationship between a sense of nationhood and the practical realities of creating a structure to embrace a unified principality of Wales held under the aegis of the English Crown. This examination of the triumphs and subsequent reverses of a ruler of exceptional vision and vigour is a substantial contribution to our understanding of the nature of Welsh politics and the complexities of Anglo-Welsh relations.
