Download or read book The Legend of Guy of Warwick written by Velma Bourgeois Richmond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996. This lavishly illustrated study is a comprehensive literary and social history which offers a record of changing genres, manuscript/book production, and cultural, political, and religious emphases by examining one of the most long lived popular legends in England. Guy of Warwick became part of history when he was named in chronicles and heraldic rolls. The power of the Earls of Warwick, especially Richard de Beauchamp, inspired the spread of the legend, but Guy's highest fame came in the Renaissance as one of the Nine Worthies. Widely praised in texts and allusions, Guy's feats were sung in ballads and celebrated on the stage in England and France. The first Anglo-Norman romance of Gui de Warewic, a Saxon hero of the tenth century was written in the early 13th century; the latest retellings of the legend are contemporary. Examples of Guy's legend can be found in two English translations that survived the Middle Ages, a new French prose romance, a didactic tale in the Gesta Romanorum, and late medieval versions in Celtic, German, and Catalan, as well as English. Guy remained a favorite Edwardian children's story and was featured in the Warwick Pageant, an historical extravaganza of 1906. The patriotism of World War II sparked a resurgence of interest that produced several new versions, mostly folkloric.

Excerpt: ... admirable classical style for which he was so distinguished. A tablet to his own memory is placed in the chancel. Dr. Parr was born in 1746 at Harrowon- the-Hill, and died here in 1825. On the way to Hatton from Warwick, about two miles from the latter place, the tourist passes on his right the County Lunatic Asylum, an extensive and elegant structure in the Tudor style . It was erected at a cost of 50,000. It has a frontage of 700 feet, and can accommodate from 300 to 400 patients. About a mile south from the Hatton station are the small remains of Pinky Abbey, a Benedictine nunnery, founded shortly after the Conquest. Wroxhall Abbey is three miles from Hatton, and six from Warwick, on the Birmingham road . Dugdale tells a romantic legend regarding its foundation. Hugh de Hatton, who held the lordships of Hatton and Wroxhall from Henry, Earl of Warwick, was taken prisoner in the Holy Land, where he had been serving against the infidels, and confined there for seven years. The good knight at length bethought himself of his patron saint St. Leonard, who appeared to him in a vision, and after making him vow to erect a house of St. Benedict, transported him miraculously to Wroxhall woods, not far from his own house. He fulfilled his vow by erecting a nunnery here, and making two of his daughters become nuns. At the Dissolution the abbey and its possessions were granted to Eobert Burgoyne, who erected a mansion on its site. This mansion is in the form of a quadrangle, the western front of which was raised from its foundation by Eobert Burgoyne, and the southern and eastern sides adapted from the remains of the previous building. The north side is occupied by the church or chapel, which seems to have been originally part of the...

Download or read book Politics, Society and Civil War in Warwickshire, 1620-1660 written by Ann Hughes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-16 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the origins, impact and aftermath of the Civil War in Warwickshire, examining administration, religion and politics in their social context. The focus is mainly on the landed élite, but the importance of relationships between members of the élite and their social inferiors is also stressed. Early chapters discuss the economic and social character of Warwickshire; a middle section examines the onset of the Civil War in 1642; and finally there is a discussion of the economic impact of the war and the administrative, political and religious changes of the 1640s and 1650s, culminating in an assessment of the significance of the Restoration. Dr Hughes takes a critical approach to recent historiography, and challenges the concept of a 'county community'. The book is intended as a contribution to a general understanding of the Civil War, rather than as a study of one particular county.
