Download or read book The Tudor Sheriff written by Jonathan McGovern and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheriffs were among the most important local office-holders in early modern England. They were generalist officers of the king responsible for executing legal process, holding local courts, empanelling juries, making arrests, executing criminals, collecting royal revenue, holding parliamentary elections, and many other vital duties. Although sheriffs have a cameo role in virtually every book about early modern England, the precise nature of their work has remained something of a mystery. The Tudor Sheriff offers the first comprehensive analysis of the shrieval system between 1485 and 1603. It demonstrates that this system was not abandoned to decay in the Tudor period, but was effectively reformed to ensure its continued relevance. Jonathan McGovern shows that sheriffs were not in competition with other branches of local government, such as the Lords Lieutenant and justices of the peace, but rather cooperated effectively with them. Since the office of sheriff was closely related to every other branch of government, a study of the sheriff is also a study of English government at work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fog of War Baghdad, 2003. The reign of Saddam Hussein is over. The Americans are in command. And no one is in control. Former cop turned military contractor Christopher Henry knows that better than anyone. He’s in country to train up a new Iraqi police force, and one of his recruits has just been murdered. With civil authority in tatters and dead bodies clogging the streets, Chris is the only person in the Green Zone with any interest in finding out who killed him—or why. Chris’s inquiry brings him first to Sofia, an American-raised Iraqi who now sits on the governing council, and then to Nassir, a grizzled veteran of Saddam’s police force—and probably the last real investigator left in Baghdad. United by death but divided by conflicting loyalties, the three must help one another navigate the treacherous landscape of post-invasion Iraq in order to hunt down the killers. But are their efforts really serving justice—or a much darker agenda? Inspired by his real-life experiences as a CIA operations officer in Iraq, New York Times bestselling writer TOM KING joins forces with celebrated artist MITCH GERADS to deliver a wartime crime thriller like no other. The Sheriff of Babylon collects all 12 issues of the groundbreaking series and features an introduction by King and an afterword by Gerads, as well as a special gallery of preliminary artwork from Gerads and cover artist JOHN PAUL LEON.
Download or read book The Hidden Lives of Tudor Women A Social History written by Elizabeth Norton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turbulent Tudor Age never fails to capture the imagination. But what was it truly like to be a woman during this era? The Tudor period conjures up images of queens and noblewomen in elaborate court dress; of palace intrigue and dramatic politics. But if you were a woman, it was also a time when death during childbirth was rife; when marriage was usually a legal contract, not a matter for love, and the education you could hope to receive was minimal at best. Yet the Tudor century was also dominated by powerful and dynamic women in a way that no era had been before. Historian Elizabeth Norton explores the life cycle of the Tudor woman, from childhood to old age, through the diverging examples of women such as Elizabeth Tudor, Henry VIII’s sister; Cecily Burbage, Elizabeth's wet nurse; Mary Howard, widowed but influential at court; Elizabeth Boleyn, mother of a controversial queen; and Elizabeth Barton, a peasant girl who would be lauded as a prophetess. Their stories are interwoven with studies of topics ranging from Tudor toys to contraception to witchcraft, painting a portrait of the lives of queens and serving maids, nuns and harlots, widows and chaperones. Norton brings this vibrant period to colorful life in an evocative and insightful social history.
Download or read book A Princely Lodging written by ALEXANDER. HILL and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1382, a grand stone palatial fortress was erected at Sheriff Hutton, north of York. Over the coming centuries it would grow to become one of the largest and most illustrious royal houses in the entire north of England. Its role throughout the turbulent Wars of the Roses was crucial and has been much overlooked, when it acted as administrative headquarters to the Council of the North and seat of northern governance under King Richard III. Under the Tudors, Sheriff Hutton continued to thrive. In 1525, King Henry VIII sent his illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy to be raised and educated there until he came of age, and a Royal Progress north during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I was intended to include Sheriff Hutton, when its captivating gardens rivalled those at Kenilworth. However, by the early 17th century, Sheriff Hutton was a ruin, a shadow of its former glory. Consequently, the history of the castle has been somewhat neglected compared to other northern fortresses. This book aims to retell the enchanting story of Sheriff Hutton Castle, throwing a new spotlight of this marginalised and fascinating fortress which deserves to remembered and celebrated for its place in English history.

But ever since the death of his brother, the pressure for Henry to be perfect has doubled. And now he’s trapped: forbidden from pursuing a life as an artist or dating any girl who isn’t Tudor-approved. Then Anne Boleyn crashes into his life. Wild, brash, and outspoken, Anne is everything Henry isn’t allowed to be—or want. But soon Anne is all he can think about. His mother, his friends, and even his girlfriend warn him away, but his desire for Anne consumes him. Henry is willing to do anything to be with her, but once they’re together, will their romance destroy them both? Inspired by the true story of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII, Anne & Henry beautifully reimagines the intensity, love, and betrayal between one of the most infamous couples of all time.
