Download or read book Black Death in London written by Barnie Sloane and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Death of 1348–49 may have killed more than 50% of the European population. This book examines the impact of this appalling disaster on England's most populous city, London. Using previously untapped documentary sources alongside archaeological evidence, a remarkably detailed picture emerges of the arrival, duration and public response to this epidemic and subsequent fourteenth-century outbreaks. Wills and civic and royal administration documents provide clear evidence of the speed and severity of the plague, of how victims, many named, made preparations for their heirs and families, and of the immediate social changes that the aftermath brought. The traditional story of the timing and arrival of the plague is challenged and the mortality rate is revised up to 50%–60% in the first outbreak, with a population decline of 40–45% across Edward III’s reign. Overall, The Black Death in London provides as detailed a story as it is possible to tell of the impact of the plague on a major medieval English city.

Download or read book Right of Passage written by Deborah Richmond Foulkes and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-05-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RIGHT OF PASSAGE, What the Dead say about Reincarnation, is Deborah Richmond Foulkes' fifth book written with Spirit. It is the culmination of twelve years of research, including nearly four years spent in Scotland and England, validating the messages the author received from Spirit through original documents and contemporary accounts from the 13th and 14th centuries. The author has combined her academic acumen for historical research with her training as a Spiritual medium. In this book Deborah features several lifetimes of over a dozen souls through information disseminated from Spirit in a new way. The messages from Spirit came through Deborah's own mediumship as well as the Spirit communication of other, well known Mediums. Accounts of several of her readings were featured in books by others, including Psychic Medium Lydia Clar with her book OUT OF DARKNESS INTO LIGHT, Spiritual Medium Robert Brown's first book, WE ARE ETERNAL, and Trance Medium Suzane Northrop's book, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. Deborah also received substantial validation of her work during a public demonstration of Spirit Communication at the Virginia Beach retreat sponsored by Robert Brown. His special guest and friend, medium John Edward, came to Deborah with information that substantiated her own messages from Spirit as well as her validating historical research. Deborah Richmond Foulkes is a Spiritualist, in the footsteps of her great, great grandmother Elizabeth Foster and her cousin Horace Greely who were early supporters of Spiritualism. Deborah became a Certified Medium in the Spiritualist church. But while communication with the so called dead is accepted among Spiritualists, the concept of multiple incarnations is not. In 2000 Deborah received her first clue about a past life in Scotland. She was able to verify the information from her guide in Spirit through original documents. Other Spirit in her circle began to come forth with proof of their medieval lifetimes. Then in 2006, the Spirit known as Archibald Douglas revealed a more recent lifetime as a young man David Lee who grew up in western Pennsylvania and became a United States Marine. "I died in a jeep accident, landmine," Dave explained. That piece of evidence was the first link to a second lifetime that ended in 1968, for the same soul who incarnated in 1296 in Scotland. The author was able to validate through research that the soul had the same personality, with the identical core values, whether he was 2nd Lieutenant Dave Hopkins USMC or Sir Archibald Douglas, Regent of Scotland. That important step meant for Spiritualists that the soul is the same lifetime over lifetime. Others in Spirit began to come forward with their evidence of survival. And each time Deborah was able to find historical evidence to validate their claims. The author was also able to show that the soul was identical in each ensuing incarnation. As a breakthrough book on Reincarnation, written with Spirit and validated with historic research, Deborah Richmond Foulkes shares discoveries we all can both understand and believe.

Download or read book Queens Princesses and Mendicants written by Nikolas Jaspert and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades between ca 1280 and ca 1380 were marked by a striking affinity to the Mendicant orders on the part of many female members of royal and princely courts. And yet, "Queens, Princesses and Mendicants" is both an innovative and comparatively neglected juxtaposition in medieval studies, for historical research has generally tended to neglect the relationship between Mendicants and aristocratic women. This volume unites twelve articles written by experts from seven European countries. The contributions cover a wide array of medieval European kingdoms in order to facilitate direct comparisons. Was affinity towards the Mendicants a prevalent phenomenon in the late Middle Ages? Can one even term "philomendicantism" a late medieval European movement? The collection of essays provides answers to these and other questions within the field of gender, religious and cultural history.
