In quite different circumstances – the abject misery of the Tudor prison system – women also ardently prayed for pregnancy, not for continuation of the line but so they might defer execution by 'pleading the belly'. In such cases, while pregnancy did not mean release from prison, it did usually serve to keep a convicted woman alive for several months, giving her supporters time to appeal for a royal pardon.

Unsurprisingly, therefore, many women deliberately sought to conceive in the crowded, mixed prisons of the period. They usually had plenty of time to do so. When Edith Sawnders, a London spinster, was caught rifling through the silver cabinet of a local gentleman, she pleaded her belly at her arraignment on 7 August 1565. It was only on 3 December – nearly four months later – that this claim was tested by a jury of matrons, who confirmed that she was, indeed, with child. A little short of two months later, the expectant mother was granted a royal pardon. Her pregnancy had saved her life.

Catherine Longley, who was brought before the Kingston Assizes in March 1579, accused of stealing a woman's cassock and hat, also pleaded pregnancy. It took four months for her and three othe rwomen convicted around the same time to be examined, with all but one – by that stage – pregnant. She must have given birth in prison, since she remained incarcerated until at least March 1851, when she was finally pardoned.

Not all women were so lucky. Katherine Harrison was also convicted of stealing women's clothing, at a hearing at Westminster on 28 November 1561, and declared herself to be pregnant. Three months later, when her claims were investigated, the jury of matrons carried out their investigation. After an intimate examination, they pronounced pregnancy. But when she failed to display any symptoms, she was examined again on 26 June 1562, and found not to be pregnant. She was sentenced to be hanged.

Yet, most convicted women – even those beyond childbearing age – attempted a plea of pregnancy, since the punishment for almost every offence was hanging. Old Alice Samuel, who was convicted of bewitching her neighbour's children in 1593, prompty declared herself with child on hearing the sentence, setting “all the company to laughing greatly”, including herself. Her daughter, Agnes, who was still of childbearing age and also convicted of witchcraft, was actively urged by those around her to plead her belly too. “No,” she said, “this I will not do. It will never be said that I was both a witch and a whore.” Both women were hanged.

When pleading the belly resulted in a genuine birth, misfortune was very likely to pass down the generations, for where a baby was born in penal conditions, its prospects were not good, particularly if the mother failed to secure an eventual pardon and was subsequently executed.

History AU: Catherine Parr has five children with Henry, with her second husband she has many more.

Born August 15th 1543, Princess Christine was the first child of Catherine and Henry. Growing up she faced many challenges, mostly from her elder siblings. She became resourceful and cunning. Taking after her sister Mary, she practiced Catholicism and became very knowledgeable of the Bible. After Edward’s death in 1553 it was excepted she would become queen, but Mary rose to power. After many years of struggle, in 1570. Christine became queen of England, she married George Clifford in 1571, together they would have five children; Catherine, George, Anne, Margret, and Charles. Christine would invest heavily on trips to the New World, saying it was God’s will. She and George would rule together until his own death in 1605. She would die five years later in 1610.

Born on January 16th 1544, Princess Mary, named for her stepsister. Mary was the second child of Catherine. Mary, much like her mother was outspoken in politics and was heavily involved in goings on around the court. She looked up very much to her sister, Elizabeth. At the age of three was granted the title of Marquess of Pembroke, the second person to do so. At the age of 15 she was sent to France to study and hopefully catch the eye of a suitor. There she met a young artist named Nicholas Hilliard. Impressed by his work she commissioned him to paint her. They fell in love, and married that same year. They had six children before Mary’s death in 1580; Nicholas, Henry, Mary, Catherine, Albert, and Elizabeth.

Born on May 6th 1545, Princess Elizabeth, “Bessie’‘ was the fourth daughter of Henry, much to his disappointment. Often neglected as a child little Bessie was doted on by her mother and elder sisters, Mary and Elizabeth. The three would have a close bond throughout their lives. She was often quiet and never participated much in court. In 1559 she became the second wife of Emmanuel Philibert. Their marriage was short lived, in 1560 Elizabeth gave birth a young girl named Claudia. She lived to see her child baptized, but died three weeks later. Her daughter would follow a month later.

Born on October 6th 1546, Prince Henry was the second son of Henry. The young prince in line for the throne, was very close to Christine he acted has an adviser for his sister. Henry served in the English army and spent many years on and off the battlefield. In 1566, he married Renata of Lorraine. Catherine, was very much against the match in the first place, but accepted nonetheless at her son’s urging. The two would have ten children before her death in 1602; Henry, Charles, Elizabeth, Maria Anna, Theresa Sophia, Beatrice, John, Edward, Anthony, and Helen. Henry would act briefly as regent for his nephew Charles before his own death in 1608.

Born December 31st 1547, Princess Helen, was the last child of Catherine Parr and Henry. Growing up she was very much doted on by her mother and was never far from her sight. Helen was talented in writing and published several short stories anonymously. After expressing no desire to marry, she pushed every suitor that came to call. At her mother’s urging the thirty-three year old princess married the young Holy Roman Emperor, Matthias. Mathias relied heavily on the knowledge of his older wife to guide in decision making and policy making. The two would have three children before her own death in 1590; Charlotte, Henry, and John.

After the death of Henry in 1548, Catherine Parr became the Dowager Queen and married Thomas Seymour. She still played a major rule in her children’s lives and gained allies throughout Europe.

Born April 15th 1549, Lady Cecily was the first child of Thomas Seymour. As a child she was sent to France as a lady in waiting to Mary Stuart. The two would become very close until 1560, when she was married off to Sigismund II Augustus of Poland. The two did not get along from the start, Cecily was a Lutheran and he Catholic. The two would often clash. Their union only produced three children; Mary, Catherine, and Anna. Cecily would rule as rule as Queen of Poland after her husband’s death in 1572. A year later she married Henry III of France, but was quickly disposed off. The disgraced queen would return to England and lived there until her death in 1620.

Born March 5th, 1552, Lady Kathryn, was the second child of Thomas and Catherine. Along with her sister she was sent to France to be a lady in waiting to Mary Stuart. The young Kathryn was often jealous of her older siblings and became cold and shutoff from the French court. In 1565 she was betrothed to Jean Louis de Nogaret de La Valette, the future Duke of Épernon. The two had a happy marriage and they would both go on to invest money in adventures in the New World. Kathryn would go to have two children before her death in 1575; Marguerite and Charles.

Born on Christmas Day 1555, Lady Beatrice was third child of Catherine. Beatrice was known as spitfire growing up and was often outspoken and took over many duties her mother could not. At the age of 15 she married Charles IX of France. The marriage was not a happy one, since Beatrice was raised Lutheran and her husband Catholic, as if her prayers were answered, Charles died in 1574. Having no children she quickly married Henry IV of France. The two reportedly had a happy marriage and worked to restore Protestantism in France. The two would have five children before Henry’s death in 1610; Marguerite, Anne, Isabel, Charles, and Henry. After Henry’s death Beatrice returned to England with her daughter Anne on the throne, she died in 1645, outliving her siblings and children.

Born on August 9th 1557, Lady Margret was the last daughter of Catherine and Thomas. Margret was the youngest of her siblings and looked up to them. Educated in the arts, Margret commissioned many artists and learned to paint from them. In 1575, Margret married Fedor I of Russia in hopes of gaining allies in Russia. The two had a very awkward marriage, since neither of them could speak their languages. The two did have some things in common, most of it was art. They often spent hours painting together. The two had three children together; Alyosha, Fedor, and Ivan. Margret would die suddenly in 1585 at the age of 28.

Born on Halloween 1559, Charles was the last child of Catherine Parr before her death in 1560, Charles was mostly raised by his older siblings. Charles was smart young man who often spent his time inventing new gadgets. He was granted the title Duke of Cornwall by his step-sister Christine after the death of their mother. It was rumored he took male lovers, but in 1570 he married Anne Knollys. The two were never outwardly affectionate with each other, but in private the two were anything but affectionate to each other. They had five children, before Charles’s death in 1614.

Probable cases are those who test positive by other testing methods such as antibody or antigen, and have recent symptoms consistent with COVID-19, indicating a recent infection. Probable deaths are those individuals with a designation of COVID-19 as a cause of death on the death certificate, but where no confirmatory testing was performed. Deaths from COVID-19 and Other Causes This table of death counts compares COVID-19 deaths in Mississippi by week with deaths from other major causes, including contributing and underlying causes. Mississippi Provisional Death Counts by Week Updated weekly K-12 School Report Mississippi K-12 schools make weekly reports of cases among students, teachers and staff, number of outbreaks, and teachers and students under quarantine as a result of COVID-19 exposure. An outbreak in a school setting is defined as 3 or more individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the same group within a 14-day period. Note: These cases have been directly reported to MSDH by each school, and may not yet have appeared in our state and county totals of cases reported by laboratories. K-12 reports of COVID-19 school cases, outbreaks and exposure Updated weekly Long-Term Care Facility Cases and Outbreaks Long-term care (LTC) facilities like nursing homes are considered high-risk locations because their residents are older or in poor health. A single confirmed COVID-19 infection in an LTC facility resident or more than one infection in employees or staff in a 14-day period constitutes an outbreak. Residential care facilities also represent group living facilities where COVID-19 can be easily spread. We investigate residents, staff, and close contacts of infected individuals for possible exposure. These outbreak figures are reported directly to MSDH by the facility. Many of the cases and deaths reported by facilities may not yet be included in our totals of lab-reported cases.

On This Day in History, August 28

In 1565, Spanish conquistador Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and his fleet sighted land before laying anchor off the north inlet of a tidal channel along the Floridian coast. A couple weeks later, he would return to that site and found a city, named for the saint whose feast day was that day his fleet laid anchor at the location—St. Augustine. The city is the oldest contiguously occupied city of…

Sensor Sweep: Ken Barr, Dying Earth RPG, Wade Miller, Russian Cinema

Writing (Wasteland & Sky): Action, movement itself, is essential to a pulp tale. The story must get in, get out, and say everything it can in as few words as possible. Because pulp writers had to hook the audience quickly they had to pack as much as they could into magazine guidelines. Even though they paid by the word, if a writer didn’t cut the flab editors would just print another story in its place. Sharpness is essential; sluggishness is death.

Fiction (Pulprev): ‘Dark’ is an oft-seen descriptor for books, comics, movies, games and television shows these days. These media are usually packed with violence, swearing, sex scenes and the like. But does that really make a story dark? As I made my way through old runs of the Punisher — specifically the MAX runs, the runs filled to the max with violence and gore and obscenities and random sex — I must say that the answer is no.

Comic Book Business (Walker’s Retreat): Diamond, the distributor with a monopoly on American comics distribution (and handling boardgame and tabletop RPG, etc. stuff also), has ceased taken product. This includes DC and Marvel. The American comic shop scene, already on fire, just had gasoline poured on it. I cannot care less. The collapse being spoken of in the above video is a part of the larger collapse of the Western entertainment business, which is a rotten zombie corpse now experience a failure cascade as its putrescence reaches critical mass and body parts start falling off.

Fictional Characters (Running Iron Report): Tannhauser is the protagonist of two magnificent novels by Tim Willocks: The Religion and The Twelve Children of Paris. In the first, Willocks flings his hero into the cauldron of the 1565 Great Siege of Malta, when the Ottoman Empire made a bid to destroy the knights of St. John, to extend their maritime power to the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and threaten Italy.

Art (DMR Books): Barr’s first pro work was for the UK magazine, Nebula Science Fiction. After several years working in London–including several covers for the UK war comic, Commando–Ken decided to seek greener pastures in the US of A. From 1968 to 1974, he did quality work at DC, crafting war comics under the editorship of the legendary Joe Kubert. Meanwhile, Ken was doing outstanding cover art for the Warren Magazines: Eerie, Creepy and Vampirella.

Appendix N (Swords and Stitchery): Robert E.Howard’s Kull stories are as important if not more so then his Conan tales. The fact is that Kull goes from slave to king speaks volumes about the progression & dangers of the world of pre-cataclysmic Atlantis c. 100,000 BC. Why do I love the series?! Because Kull’s fate is completely uncertain. We never learn what happens to him. He’s swallowed up by Robert E. Howard’s literature output. To me this Atlantean kings fate is completely unknown & this is the way it should be.

Fantasy (Superversive SF): I remember ordering this book from Scholastic or Troll, one of the elementary book clubs. Oddly, it sat on my book shelf for a couple of years before I read it. The same thing happened with THE DARK IS RISING. Why remains a mystery to this day. After I got my first computer (a Tandy 1000 EX) and the game BLACK CAULDRON, I realized that the villain on the cover of this fantasy book was the same Horned King as in BLACK CAULDRON.

SFWA (delarroz.com): It’s come to my attention that the group of pedophile supporters formerly a science fiction professional organization is having an election for their board. The best part of all of this is their organization has become such a shit show under Mary Robinette’s nonsense — they didn’t have enough people filing for the elections to fill the positions. It’s hilarious.

Comic Books (The Pitch KC): Roy Thomas currently edits a comics history magazine called Alter Ego. It’s a subject the 79-year-old Show Me State native knows well because he helped make it. And he’s still at it. Thomas served as Marvel editor-in-chief, but he also helped create and develop Wolverine (Adamantium, the metal in his skeleton is Thomas’ idea), Vision, Luke Cage, Ultron and other characters. He’s penned stories for both Carol Danvers (a.k.a. Captain Marvel) and D.C. favorites like Wonder Woman.

Monsters (Dark Worlds Quarterly): Jack Williamson wrote The Legion of Space for F. Orlin Tremaine’s Astounding Stories, April-August 1934. In that novel a group of brave Earthmen face off against a cruel race of aliens called the Medusae. These creatures are hideous to look upon: “John Star had glimpsed one of the Medusae on Mars, that thing in the gondola swung from the black flier, whose weapon had struck him down. A swollen, greenish surface, wetly heaving; a huge, ovoid eye, luminous and purple. But these were the first he had fully seen.

RPG (Akratic Wizardry): Some dramatic news out of Cubicle 7: We have some very unfortunate and unexpected news to share. Contractual differences arose recently which we have been unable to resolve, and so we have decided to end our licensing agreement with Sophisticated Games. It is with regret that we have made this very tough decision to withdraw. This means we will cease publishing The One Ring and Adventures in Middle-earth in the first half of 2020.

RPG (Goodman Games): We’ve mentioned this in the past, but now we’re making it official. It’s time to visit The Dying Earth. We are very excited to officially announce DCC Dying Earth, based on the works of Jack Vance. Officially licensed by his estate, the Kickstarter will launch later this year and the product will release in 2021. DCC Dying Earth is both a sourcebook and a setting for the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role-Playing Game that offers a portal to the singular world of The Dying Earth novels by Jack Vance.

Hard-Boiled Fiction (Howard Andrew Jones): Writing as a team, usually under their Wade Miller pseudonym, Bob Wade and Bill Miller drafted some engaging thrillers and mysteries for Fawcett Gold Medal and other publishers all through the 1950s and into the early 1960s, before Miller’s untimely early death. Their writing was tight and spare, yet immersive, and they knew how to quickly hook readers into propulsive plots. Their settings sprang vividly to life, and they were capable of subtle and even nuanced character development and dialogue.

Cinema (Jon Mollison): Panfilov’s 28 on the other hand provides everything a guy could want in a war film. A plucky band of brothers serve as the last line of defense standing between the German mechanized juggernaut and Moscow herself. I can’t recall a single actress in the entire film, which revolves around how men bond and fight as much for the man next to themselves in the trench, and how they reconcile themselves to death as a hopeless gesture of defiance.

Writing (Andrew Knighton): How do we turn the past into stories? It might sound like a simple question, but the relationship between stories and real events is complex and messy. The Nature of History Last week, I received editorial comments on a history article I’m writing. High on the to-do list was making the article into more of a story. As soon as I read that, I knew what they meant, and I knew that they were right. I also knew why I hadn’t done it the first time around.

RPG (Walker’s Retreat): Most tabletop RPG designers are incompetent. They are incompetent because they do not understand the medium that they work within, but instead operate off of a Cargo Cult mis-comprehension of Dungeons & Dragons and are reacting entirely against the Straw Man they’ve built up in their minds over time. The proof of this comes when they see things like Jeffro Johnson’s Twitter threads spelling out what Gary Gygax put down and what this means when put into practice.

From the earliest Fall feasts to the first Thanksgiving football game to the Macy's Day parade, here's the full background on how the U.S. holiday evolved to the tradition it is today.

There’s no holiday that’s more quintessentially American than Thanksgiving. Learn how it has evolved from its religious roots as Spanish and English days of feasting and prayer to become the football-watching, parade-marching, gut-stuffing event it is today.

1541: Spanish Explorers Hold a Feast

English settlers weren’t the first to celebrate a thanksgiving feast on American soil. According to the Texas Society Daughters of the American Colonists, the very first thanksgiving was observed by Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado. Accompanied by 1,500 men in full armor, Coronado left Mexico City in 1540 and marched north in search of gold. As the company camped in Palo Duro Canyon in 1541, Padre Fray Juan de Padilla called for a feast of prayer and thanksgiving, beating out the Plymouth Thanksgiving by 79 years.

1598: A Second Early Feast Among Spanish

A second Texas town claims to have been the real site of the first Thanksgiving in America. In 1598, a wealthy Spanish dignitary named Juan de Oñate was granted lands among the Pueblo Indians in the American Southwest. He decided to blaze a new path directly across the Chihuahua Desert to reach the Rio Grande. Oñate’s party of 500 soldiers, women and children barely survived the harrowing journey, nearly dying of thirst and exhaustion when they reached the river. (Two horses reportedly drank so much water that their stomachs burst.)

After 10 days of rest and recuperation near modern-day San Elizario, Texas, Oñate ordered a feast of thanksgiving, which one of his men described in his journal: "We built a great bonfire and roasted the meat and fish, and then all sat down to a repast the like of which we had never enjoyed before…We were happy that our trials were over; as happy as were the passengers in the Ark when they saw the dove returning with the olive branch in his beak, bringing tidings that the deluge had subsided."

August 9, 1607: Colonists, Native Americans Feast in Maine

There are also competing claims as to what was the first feast of thanksgiving actually shared with Native Americans. In 1607, English colonists at Fort St. George assembled for a harvest feast and prayer meeting with the Abenaki Indians of Maine.

But some historians claim that the Spanish founders of St. Augustine, Florida shared a festive meal with the native Timucuan people when their ships came ashore way back in 1565.

First Thanksgiving Meal (TV-G; 2:38)

November 1621: The Plymouth Feast

According to American tradition, this is when Thanksgiving really began. Archival evidence is slim, but according to a letter from Plymouth colonist Edward Winslow dated December 11, 1621, the colonists wanted to celebrate their first good crop of corn and barley grown with generous assistance from the native Wampanoag Indians.

So the English colonists sent out four men to kill “as much fowl” as they could in one day, and invited King Massasoit and 90 of his men “so we might after a more special manner rejoice together.” The king brought five deer to the three-day party, which 19th-century New Englanders would later promote as the origin of modern Thanksgiving.

November 23, 1775: Boston Patriots Call for Thanksgiving

In the run-up to the Revolutionary War, a group of Boston patriots published a pointedly anti-British proclamation for a “Day of public Thanksgiving” throughout the Massachusetts Colony to be held November 23, 1775:

“That such a Band of Union, founded upon the best Principles, unites the American Colonies; That our Rights and Priviledges . . . are so far preserved to us, notwithstanding all the Attempts of our barbarous Enemies to deprive us of them. And to offer up humble and fervent Prayers to Almighty GOD, for the whole British Empire; especially for the UNITED AMERICAN COLONIES."

December 18, 1777: 13 Colonies Celebrate a Thanksgiving

To celebrate the victory of American Continental forces over the British in the Battle of Saratoga, commander-in-chief George Washington called for Thursday, December 18 to be set aside for “Solemn Thanksgiving and Praise.” It was the first time that all 13 colonies celebrated a day of thanksgiving in unison.
