Download or read book Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester: A Biography written by Kenneth Hotham Vickers and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the fascinating life of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, in this illuminating biography. As the son, brother, and uncle of English kings, Humphrey played a pivotal role in the political and cultural landscape of medieval England. A skilled soldier and military strategist, he fought in the Hundred Years' War and acted as Lord Protector of England during the minority of his nephew, Henry VI. But Humphrey was also a controversial figure, known for his reckless behavior and fractious personality. Despite this, he is widely recognized for his intellectual pursuits and support of humanism, which made him a significant patron of the Renaissance in England. This book provides a detailed look at the life and legacy of one of England's most complex historical figures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester The following pages have been written amidst many interruptions and completed amidst great difficulties. The excuse for their existence is to be found in the total absence of any adequate biography of their subject, and the attraction (to the author at any rate) of a varied and interesting career. My indebtedness to those who have made a study of the fifteenth century is acknowledged in the bibliography, but my obligations extend much further. My thanks are due to many librarians who have given me every facility to inspect manuscripts in their care, but to Mr. Falconer Madan of the Bodleian Library at Oxford I am under no ordinary debt of obligation. His consistent kindness and interest has made many paths smooth that would otherwise have been rough. I am indebted to Lord Leicester for his kindness in allowing me to examine a manuscript life of the Duke which forms part of his Library, and to Mr. Yates Thompson for a similar permission with regard to the Duke's Psalter. Still more do I desire to thank Dean Kitchin for his courtesy and kindness in sending me a transcript of a letter in a Durham manuscript, whilst Professor Oman has given me the great encouragement of his sympathy and advice. To Dr. Morris of Bedford I owe assistance on some points of difficulty, and Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty, Garter, was kind enough to answer several questions with regard to the Duke's armorial bearings.

Download or read book A Historical Dictionary of British Women written by Cathy Hartley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book, containing the biographies of more than 1,100 notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, is an absorbing record of female achievement spanning some 2,000 years of British life. Most of the lives included are those of women whose work took them in some way before the public and who therefore played a direct and important role in broadening the horizons of women. Also included are women who influenced events in a more indirect way: the wives of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting and society hostesses. Originally published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of British Women, this newly re-worked edition includes key figures who have died in the last 20 years, such as The Queen Mother, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, Elizabeth Jennings and Christina Foyle.
