ACCOUNT OF THE FUNERAL OF THE DUCHESS, AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONNECTED WITH IT. Thus, our virtuous duchess left this transitory world to receive the reward of her virtue with the Saints of God, whereof we may have more than probable or moral hope that she was soon made partaker, considering what passed in the foresaid trances. She had suffered many months of purgatory in this world; led a laudable and exemplary christian life; and ended it with much edification and consolation of all the assistants; for when her tongue failed, which was some halfhour before she deceased, her hands and eyes showed her faith and desire to be with God. And the last temporal thing that she spoke when her speech began to fail her was to her maid who attended at her bed's feet, bidding her to put in decency and handsomely her bed-clothes about N 2 her body, to the end, no doubt, she might die with seemly decency so as to prevent what perhaps the pangs of death might cause. So this our duchess, on the octave of her birth (for she was born on the sixth of February), did return her happy soul to her Creator to attain the sum of her felicity; and left her body remaining, with the face so beautiful, her hands so fair and flexible, wonderful in that great age, that they seemed rather of a heavenly creature than of a dead body. So dressed up in a poor Franciscan habit, which she had kept by her many years for that purpose to be her outward shroud (which had been the cast garment of a holy good Friar) and with a scapular of St. Dominic's Order, she was laid thus upon a pallet with her face uncovered and her hands held up close together, as the use is to hold them praying. In the meantime the duke, her grandson, being there, the Teniente of the town was...

Book excerpt: Jane Dormer, Duchess of Feria, was born in 1538 into a family at the heart of Court struggles between Catholicism and Protestantism, and married twenty years later into the world of the Spanish Court, refuge of exiled English Catholics. The marriage lasted 13 years, and after her husband's death in 1571 the Duchess of Feria remained a powerful figure. She restored her Spanish family's fortunes.

This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Female Households is the first collection that seeks to integrate ladies-in-waiting into the master narrative of early modern court studies. Presenting evidence and analysis of the multifarious ways in which ‘women above stairs’ shaped the European courts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it argues for a re-assessment of their political influence. The cultural agency of ladies-in-waiting is viewed in the reflection of portraiture, pamphlets and masques: their political dealings and patronage are revealed through analysis of letters, family networks, career patterns, gift exchange and household structures, as well as their activities in the fields of intelligence-gathering and espionage. By concentrating on a previously neglected area of female agency, this collection demonstrates clearly that the political climate of Europe was often shaped outside the male-dominated institutions of government and administration. Contributors include: Helen Graham-Matheson, Hannah Leah Crummé, Katrin Keller, Vanessa de Cruz, Birgit Houben, Dries Raeymaekers, Janet Ravenscroft, Una McIlvenna, Rosalind K. Marshall, Oliver Mallick, Cynthia Fry, Nadine Akkerman, Sara J. Wolfson, Fabian Persson, and Jeroen Duindam.

Download or read book The Nine Days' Queen, Lady Jane Grey, and Her Times written by Richard Davey and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragedy of Lady Jane Grey is unquestionably one of the most poignant episodes in English history, but its very dramatic completeness and compactness have almost invariably caused its wider significance to be obscured by the element of personal pathos with which it abounds. The sympathetic figure of the studious, saintly maiden, single-hearted in her attachment to the austere creed of Geneva, stands forth alone in a score of books refulgent against the gloomy background of the greed and ambition to which she was sacrificed. The whole drama of her usurpation and its swift catastrophe is usually treated as an isolated phenomenon, the result of one man’s unscrupulous self-seeking; and with the fall of the fair head of the Nine Days’ Queen upon the blood-stained scaffold within the Tower the curtain is rung down and the incident looked upon as fittingly closed by the martyrdom of the gentlest champion of the Protestant Reformation in England. Such a treatment of the subject, however attractive and humanly interesting it may be, is nevertheless unscientific as history and untrue in fact. An adequate appreciation of the tendencies behind the unsuccessful attempt to deprive Mary of her birthright can only be gained by a consideration of the circumstances preceding and surrounding the main incident. The reasons why Northumberland, a weak man as events proved, was able to ride rough-shod over the nobles and people of England, the explanation of his sudden and ignominious collapse and of the apparent levity with which the nation at large changed its religious beliefs and observance at the bidding of assumed authority are none of them on the surface of events; and the story of Jane Grey as it is usually told, whilst abounding in pathetic interest gives no key to the vast political issues of which the fatal intrigue of Northumberland was but a by-product. To represent the tragedy as a purely religious one, as is not infrequently done, is doubly misleading. That one side happened to be Catholic and the other Protestant was merely a matter of party politics, and probably not a single active participator in the events, except Jane herself, and to some extent Mary, was really moved by religious considerations at all, loud as the professions of some of the leaders were.
