Book Synopsis Herefordshire Taxes in the Reign of Henry VIII by : Michael A. Faraday
Download or read book Herefordshire Taxes in the Reign of Henry VIII written by Michael A. Faraday and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is mainly a transcription of the documents produced during the levy of taxation in Herefordshire in the reign of Henry VIII. In fact its scope is somewhat wider than this because it includes prerogative grants, such as loans and benevolences, made to the king, although it fails to notice that they rested on the individual consent of the taxpayers. The transcription is complete, and the original spelling is retained. As a copy of the taxation documents this is a splendid source. Whether the documents provide an accurate account of the wealth of the county is more difficult to say. The accuracy of tax assessments of the period is extremely complicated, as this reviewer's 'Taxation under the early Tudors, 1485-1547', published in 2004, seeks to explore. In this current volume the reader will be well satisfied with the accuracy of the range and typicality of the transcription of the Herefordshire taxation documents.

Book Synopsis The Herefordshire Chantry Valuations of 1547 by : M A Faraday
Download or read book The Herefordshire Chantry Valuations of 1547 written by M A Faraday and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the later Middle Ages it was common for persons with property to endow chantries, chiefly for prayers to be said for the donor or members of his family for the indefinite future. From these endowments churches accumulated properties around the county, sometime in other counties. In the mid 1500s the properties were seized by the Crown and sold. Lists of properties, occupiers and purchasers were kept. The present volume covers Hereford Chantries. This record is of interest to scholars of the 16th century, particularly of the post-Reformation secularisation of Church property. In addition, family historians, once they have reached the mid-16th century from which period parish registers and collections of wills are very much more sparse, must of necessity look at any lists of residents in particular places and this is one.
Book Synopsis The Herefordshire Musters of 1539 and 1542 by : M A Faraday
Download or read book The Herefordshire Musters of 1539 and 1542 written by M A Faraday and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A muster meant that men in the local shires were called together to identify those able to serve in the King's army. The muster records thereby created represent a valuable source of information about the local military resources and also gives the names of those involved. The documents which form the subject of this edition, the Herefordshire muster books for 1539 and 1542, came into existence during two military and diplomatic crises. Neither lasted long. The first was during Thomas Cromwell's term of office, the second after his fall. The first crisis was precipitated by the rapprochement between France and the Emperor Charles V signalled by the Treaty of Toledo on 12 January 1539; these powers then withdrew their ambassadors from London and made demonstrations of apparent warlike intent. Henry VIII's Council, then dominated by Thomas Cromwell, called for musters throughout the country. The commissions of array represent an attempt to discover the country's military resources

Book Synopsis The Reign of Henry IV by : Gwilym Dodd
Download or read book The Reign of Henry IV written by Gwilym Dodd and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2008 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigations of Henry IV's reign have tended to concentrate on how he seized power, rather than how he governed. However, the period between 1403 and 1413 was no less dramatic and challenging for Henry than the initial years of his rule: he faced a series of rebellions, a financial crisis, deep-seated opposition in parliament, ill-health and a number of serious dilemmas relating to foreign policy. The essays here examine, and provide fresh interpretations of, both these particular aspects, and of broader topics adding to our understanding and government and society in the period, including the role of the lower clergy in parliament, and the mechanisms and scope of royal patronage.

Book Synopsis Henry VIII and Francis I by : David Linley Potter
Download or read book Henry VIII and Francis I written by David Linley Potter and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to explore the neglected subject of the final war between France and England at the end of Henry VIII’s and Francis I’s reigns. The relationship between these two monarchs has long fascinated historians and serious work has been done in the last generation, especially on the earlier period. Rather less has been done on the end of their reigns. The perspective is a dual one, from both that of England and France, with equal weight given to the reasons for conflict and the effects of war on both (on land and sea, in France and Scotland). For England, the military effort of the period proved to be extremely damaging and long-lasting, while France found itself at war on two fronts for the first time since the early 1520s. The book therefore asks why Henry VIII opted for the imperial alliance in 1542, thus committing himself to war in the long term, and why Francis I and his advisers did not do more to win over the English alliance. The Anglo-French war needs to be placed firmly in the context of the great Habsburg-Valois dual. The Anglo-French wars of this period have not received any serious modern analysis and the study of diplomacy in the period needs to be updated. Maps and plans are included and some illustrations.
Book Synopsis Deeds of the Palmers' Gild of Ludlow by : M A Faraday
Download or read book Deeds of the Palmers' Gild of Ludlow written by M A Faraday and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These documents cover the 300 year history of the Palmer's Gild up to its dissolution in 1551. Some 1,495 deeds of various kinds, mostly in Latin, some in Norman-French or English are all shown in English. They demonstrate the extent of the Gild's interests and also provide the most important source of information about the families of the town and other places, their descents, the derivations of their names and their occupations. The Gild became the leading institution in Ludlow and it supported (a) an important chantry in the parish church, (b) a college of chaplains who provided many services, both spiritual and secular, (c) building and ornamentation work in the parish church and (d) provided a kind of mutual insurance service for its members who came from all over the country, including at one time Richard, duke of York himself. The gild acquired many properties from donations, bequests and purchases and the rents financed its activities. There is a comprehensive index. This is a paperback.
Book Synopsis Urban Culture in Medieval Wales by : Helen Fulton
Download or read book Urban Culture in Medieval Wales written by Helen Fulton and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of twelve essays describes aspects of town life in medieval Wales, from the way people lived and worked to how they spent their leisure time. Drawing on evidence from historical records, archaeology and literature, twelve leading scholars outline the diversity of town life and urban identity in medieval Wales. While urban histories of Wales have charted the economic growth of towns in post-Norman Wales, much less has been written about the nature of urban culture in Wales. This book fills in some of the gaps about how people lived in towns and the kinds of cultural experience which helped to construct a Welsh urban identity.
Book Synopsis The Middle English Book by : Michael Johnston
Download or read book The Middle English Book written by Michael Johnston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph series Oxford Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture showcases the plurilingual and multicultural quality of medieval literature and actively seeks to promote research that not only focuses on the array of subjects medievalists now pursue—in literature, theology, and philosophy, in social, political, jurisprudential, and intellectual history, the history of art, and the history of science—but also that combines these subjects productively. It offers innovative studies on topics that may include, but are not limited to, manuscript and book history; languages and literatures of the global Middle Ages; race and the post-colonial; the digital humanities, media and performance; music; medicine; the history of affect and the emotions; the literature and practices of devotion; the theory and history of gender and sexuality, ecocriticism and the environment; theories of aesthetics; medievalism. The Middle English Book addresses a series of questions about the copying and circulation of literature in late medieval England: How do we make sense of the variety of manuscripts surviving from this period? Who copied and disseminated these diverse manuscripts? Who read the literary texts that they transmit? And what was the relationship between those copying literature and those reading it? To answer these questions, this book examines 202 literary manuscripts from the period 1350 to 1500. First, this study suggests that most surviving manuscripts fall into four categories, depending on the proximity and relationship of that manuscript's scribes and readers. But beyond proposing these new categories, this book also looks at the history of writing practices, and demonstrates the ubiquity of bureaucracies within late medieval England. As a result, The Middle English Book argues that literary production was a decentered affair, one that took place within these numerous, modest, yet complex, bureaucracies. But this book also argues that, because literary production arose in such scattered bureaucracies, manuscripts were local products, produced within the cultural and economic milieu of their users. Manuscripts thus form a fundamentally different sort of cultural artefact than the printed books with which we are familiar—a form of centralized, urbanized, and commercialized textual production that was just over the historical horizon in late medieval England.
