HOW THE ENGLISH RETURNED BOULOGNE TO THE KING OF FRANCE. HOW the Protector was blamed for the loss of the forts has already been told, and certainly, if he had taken as much care as the good King Henry VIII., Boulogne would not have been surrendered, as will be related here. When the King of France learnt the few men that guarded the forts, he sent some eight thousand troops, who first took St. Jean de Eus, three leagues from Boulogne, on the Calais road, and afterwards captured the " Old Man," as the English called it, and subsequently the other fort which was on the slope opposite Boulogne. The French also had on the other side of the water another fort which they had erected, so that no supplies could now reach Boulogne. The French did not effect much damage, but as the English saw they could not hold out, they decided to make peace; and the French, knowing that if they took the place by force, it would cost many lives and much money, determined to offer an indemnity, and at last agreed to give four thousand crowns, on condition, however, that the English were not to destroy any edifice they had constructed. Truly the English might write a lament on Boulogne, and say, " Thouhadst better not been founded," for certainly, without any contradiction, it cost the King over six millions in gold, besides being the ruin of his kingdom for years, and God knows the loss of how many lives. And yet, after all, by carelessness and bad management, they gave it up for the sum mentioned. Truly the English lost much on the day that the valiant King Henry VIII. died, and great evil comes, and will come to them from having sown such discord amongst their governors; and I only hope to God that King Edward will soon be able to govern. He was a...

Download or read book Henry VII s London in the Great Chronicle written by Julia Boffey and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This modernized extract from The Great Chronicle of London covers the reign of England's first Tudor king, Henry VII (1485-1509). It gives an eye-witness account of events in London, and of news from elsewhere, from the viewpoint of a well-to- do citizen who was closely involved in civic administration. It describes many notable public events: riots and uprisings, executions, coronations, royal marriages and funerals, and ceremonial activities involving the mayor and aldermen. Its year by year entries also cover matters like the weather, the cost of living, taxes, and the effects of building work undertaken in the city. Although its compiler worked to a scheme common to other London chronicles from the period, he was ready to express his own views on a number of matters, and wrote with keen observation and occasional wit.

Download or read book Henry VIII written by Alison Weir and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Wolf Hall, Alison Weir’s New York Times bestselling biography of Henry VIII brilliantly brings to life the king, the court, and the fascinating men and women who vied for its pleasures and rewards. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Alison Weir’s Mary Boleyn. Henry VIII, renowned for his command of power, celebrated for his intellect, presided over the most stylish—and dangerous—court in Renaissance Europe. Scheming cardinals vied for power with newly rich landowners and merchants, brilliant painters and architects introduced a new splendor into art and design, and each of Henry's six queens brought her own influence to bear upon the life of the court. In her new book, Alison Weir, author of the finest royal chronicles of our time, brings to vibrant life the turbulent, complex figure of Henry VIII and the glittering court he made his own. In an age when a monarch's domestic and political lives were inextricably intertwined, a king as powerful and brilliant as Henry VIII exercised enormous sway over the laws, the customs, and the culture of his kingdom. Yet as Weir shows in this swift, vivid narrative, Henry's ministers, nobles, and wives were formidable figures in their own right, whose influence both enhanced and undermined the authority of the throne. On a grand stage rich in pageantry, intrigue, passion, and luxury, Weir records the many complex human dramas that swirled around Henry, while deftly weaving in an account of the intimate rituals and desires of England's ruling class—their sexual practices, feasts and sports, tastes in books and music, houses and gardens. Stimulating and tumultuous, the court of Henry VIII attracted the finest minds and greatest beauties in Renaissance England—poets Wyatt and Surrey, the great portraitist Hans Holbein, "feasting ladies" like Elizabeth Blount and Elizabeth FitzWalter, the newly rich Boleyn family and the ancient aristocratic clans like the Howards and the Percies, along with the entourages and connections that came and went with each successive wife. The interactions between these individuals, and the terrible ends that befell so many of them, make Henry VIII: The King and His Court an absolutely spellbinding read. Meticulous in historic detail, narrated with high style and grand drama, Alison Weir brilliantly brings to life the king, the court, and the fascinating men and women who vied for its pleasures and rewards. NOTE: This edition does not contain illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fascinating . . . Alison Weir does full justice to the subject.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer At his death in 1547, King Henry VIII left four heirs to the English throne: his only son, the nine-year-old Prince Edward; the Lady Mary, the adult daughter of his first wife Katherine of Aragon; the Lady Elizabeth, the teenage daughter of his second wife Anne Boleyn; and his young great-niece, the Lady Jane Grey. In this riveting account Alison Weir paints a unique portrait of these extraordinary rulers, examining their intricate relationships to each other and to history. She traces the tumult that followed Henry's death, from the brief intrigue-filled reigns of the boy king Edward VI and the fragile Lady Jane Grey, to the savagery of "Bloody Mary," and finally the accession of the politically adroit Elizabeth I. As always, Weir offers a fresh perspective on a period that has spawned many of the most enduring myths in English history, combining the best of the historian's and the biographer's art. “Like anthropology, history and biography can demonstrate unfamiliar ways of feeling and being. Alison Weir's sympathetic collective biography, The Children of Henry VIII does just that, reminding us that human nature has changed--and for the better. . . . Weir imparts movement and coherence while re-creating the suspense her characters endured and the suffering they inflicted.”—The New York Times Book Review
