Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Account of Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk The chief value of this compilation consists in the illustrations, and for these I wish to express my thanks to my friends the late R. Almack, Esq., Miss Bourdillon, E. T. Bridges, Esq., Miss Chapman, Miss Dunnage, Miss Daintrey, Miss Liveing, E. Liveing, Esq., M. D., and Miss S. Rowley. To Dr. Liveing I am also indebted for much valuable help in searching the MSS. in the British Museum. I have also to express my best thanks to Mr. Frere for allowing me to search and make extracts from the Mss. in his possession, and to Mr. Overall, the Librarian of the Guildhall Library, for extracts from the Records of the City of London. "As to the performance, I am under no concern to vindicate it from the slights and ridicules "that may be cast upon it by idle and witty people, who think all history to be scraps, and all "antiquity to be rust and rubbish. I say this only, next to the immediate discharge of my Holy "office, I know not, how in any course of studies I could have better served my patron, my people, "and my successors, than by preserving the memoirs of this parish, and the adjacent parts, which "before lay remote from common notice, and in a few years had been buried in unsearchable "oblivion. If the present age be too much immers'd in cares or pleasures to take any relish, or "to make any use of these discoveries, I then appeal to posterity, for I believe the times will "come when persons of better inclination will arise, who will be glad to find any collection of "this nature, and will be ready to supply the defects, and carry on the continuation of it. - From the Parochial Antiquities, hy WniT E.Kennett, Vicar of Ambrosden, 1695.

Download or read book Forgotten Women of the Wars of the Roses written by Jo Romero and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First of its kind, this book showcases relationships between women, as well as their individual efforts and roles during the Wars of the Roses. The Wars of the Roses were fought in England from the mid-fifteenth century, as the supporters of Lancaster and York wrestled over control of the crown. Books have analyzed the politics, battles and motives of its key characters. However, a discussion of women’s roles relating to the conflict is so far missing. Forgotten Women of the Wars of the Roses highlights their involvement, their lives during wartime and the consequences of their actions. Many women lost male relatives to battle, execution and rebellion, suffering emotional and legal consequences as rivals seized lands and livelihood. Despite the uneasy political atmosphere and challenges in marriage and parenting, women maintained the household and supported the family commercially and politically. Forgotten royal women acted as diplomats, negotiators and supporters to both York and Lancaster. Religious women were involved in the conflict and their individual experiences are examined. There is a discussion of women who fought to overcome potentially dangerous circumstances to secure safety and statusand those who directly supported of the war effort. There were organisers writing lists, planning defenses and strategy and quietly supplying husbands with horses, silver and men. Defenders commanded soldiers during a siege, usually at their homes, and took active roles in family feuds. The existence of women rebels at this time is also discussed, as is women’s wider, more subtle contributions and experiences to the security of the monarchy. The book demands acknowledgement of women’s varied roles during the conflict at all levels of society. It draws on primary sources, aspects of their families, their daily lives, homes and fashions, thus presenting them as three dimensional people against the backdrop of the wars.
Download or read book Gender Family and Politics written by Nicola Clark and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, Family, and Politics is the first full-length, gender-inclusive study of the Howard family, one of the pre-eminent families of early-modern Britain. Most of the existing scholarship on this aristocratic dynasty's political operation during the first half of the sixteenth-century centres on the male family members, and studies of the women of the early-modern period tends to focus on class or geographical location. Nicola Clark, however, places women and the question of kinship in centre-stage, arguing that this is necessary to understand the complexity of the early modern dynasty. A nuanced understanding of women's agency, dynastic identity, and politics allows us to more fully understand the political, social, religious, and cultural history of early-modern Britain.
Download or read book Yorkist Lord written by Anne Crawford and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Howard, baron Howard and first duke of Norfolk, was one of the most important men of the Yorkist period. He was a consistently loyal supporter of the Yorkist dynasty from the late 1450s until his death at Bosworth in 1485. He was an indefatigable royal servant, active in the military field, as an agent of the Crown at home in East Anglia, as a councillor at Westminster and as an ambassador who became England's leading envoy to France. And yet there were other men of the period, equally significant in their careers, for whom no biographies have been forthcoming. To the question - why write a biography of John Howard? one answer must be - because we can. With the exceptions of the kings he served, no other man of the fifteenth-century peerage has left us so much in the way of evidence of his day-to-day life, not only of his royal service but his domestic concerns. Information about other men of his time depends largely on well-documented political or administrative action; very little information is available on their private lives. The same is not true of Howard. The unparalleled records that he left behind are four volumes of household memoranda covering the periods 1462 -1471 and 1481-1483.The memoranda were a daily record of the money received and dispersed by Howard himself, his family and senior household members. The lack of distinction between business and domestic concerns and the great range of subjects, from payments for ships to laces for his wife's gowns, are what make them so illuminating. Taken together, these surviving records illustrate almost every aspect of his life and bring him alive: talented, efficient, ambitious and not above some dishonourable dealings, short-tempered, paternalistic and loyal.

Download or read book The York Princesses written by Sarah J. Hodder and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a collective, the lives of the Princesses of York span across seven decades and the rule of five different Kings. The daughters of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, they were born into an England that had been ruled over by the great Plantagenet Kings for almost three hundred years. Their young years were blighted by tragedy: the death of their beloved father, followed by the disappearance and possible murder of their two brothers, Edward and Richard of York, forever now known to history as the infamous Princes in the Tower. With their own futures uncertain during the reign of their uncle, Richard III, and their mother held under house arrest, the Princesses had to navigate their way through the tumultuous years of the 1480s before having to adjust to a new King and a new dynasty in the shape of Henry VII, who would bring about the age of the Tudors. Through her marriage to Henry, Elizabeth of York rebuilt her life, establishing herself as a popular, if not hugely influential Queen. But she did not forget her younger siblings, and even before her own mother’s death, she acted as a surrogate mother to the younger York princesses, supporting them both financially and emotionally. The stories of the York Princesses are entwined into the fabric of the history of England, as they grew up, survived and even thrived in the new Tudor age. Their lives are played out against a backdrop of coronations and jousts, births and deaths, marriages and divorces and loyalties and broken allegiances. From the usurpation of Richard III, to the Battle of Bosworth, the brilliance of the court of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII, to the rise of Anne Boleyn, the York Princesses were there to witness events unfold. They were the daughters, sisters and aunts of Kings, and this is their story. The York Princesses is a natural follow-up to Sarah J. Hodder's first book, The Queen's Sisters, which told the stories of the lives of the sisters of Elizabeth Woodville.
