Hello, can you explain who sided with who from the peerage during Henry VI Readeption? Which side had more support?

Hi! I'm just going to post an excerpt from False, Fleeting, Perjur'd Clarence: George, Duke of Clarence, 1449-7 by Michael Hicks, which sums up the situation:

“The Readeption had enjoyed the military support of the Dukes of Somerset and Exeter, the Marquis Montagu, the Earls of Devon, Dorset, Pembroke, Oxford and Warwick, Viscount Beaumont, and Lords St. John, Wenlock and Camoys. Of those who had helped restore Henry VI, Clarence, Shrewsbury, Stanley, FitzHugh and Scrope had withdrawn their support; no former Lancastrians [ie: the ones who had made peace with Yorkist England in the 1460s] had returned to the fold and nobody had defected from Edward IV. On Edward’s return to London, he was accompanied by five dukes, six earls and thirteen barons, most of whom had probably fought at Tewkesbury. Lords Say and Cromwell had been killed at Barnet and other peers participated in the Kentish campaign against Thomas Neville, Bastard of Fauconberg. From this it is clear that almost the whole peerage, certainly all the greater magnates, were actively involved in the 1471 campaign. Edward’s army had a strong family tinge, as it included both his brothers, his brother-in-law Suffolk, Earl Rivers and the husbands of five of the Wydeville sisters. It was not merely a faction: there were others without court connections, such as Norfolk and Cobham. Clearly Edward enjoyed the general support of the peerage […]’

wait George Villiers was a shitty person? what did he do?

Hi! I’d like to preface my answer to this question by saying that I’m not a historian (I have a degree in linguistics and literary studies), and all of my information comes from doing a lot of research regarding George on my own, therefore there might be a lot more info on what exactly he did or did not. So if there is someone more knowledgeable about this, please correct me.

What George Villiers did, and, quite frankly, how his career had gone could be described by a line reportedly spoken by Queen Anna of Denmark to Abbot, the archbishop of Canterbury (and Pembroke), two people who worked together to install George in James’s bedchamber as a favourite “You and the rest of your friends know not what you do. I know your master better than you all, for is this young man be once brought in first person he will plague must be you that labour for him.”

As opposed to the previous favourite Somerset (Robert Carr), Gorge was deeply ambitious as he not only wished to enrich himself while in favour, but he also wanted to become an important player in the political sphere. (If I dare say so myself, I believe, that his time as a politician, would not be half as bad if he had received a proper training. Tho he was undoubtedly a shitty, to put it mildly, person) He knew that key to his success was the affection and love of the king as he could literally take everything that was given to him and make him once again the poor George that he once was. (I really do not want to talk about their relationship as it would take more than a sentence to summarise it). Thans to how rapidly he climbed the social ladder and received more titles and positions at the court which in turn allowed him to have actual sway in the country’s internal and external politics. Geore was also keenly aware that apart from the royal favour he needed connection to face his opposition (the ancient families of England). So patronage, it was something common (even now). He installed his immediate family at the court and secured them positions, (mmm nepotism), the marriage market was also fair play as George slowly but surely arranged marriages for people in his family, win-win situation.

Addressing his now growing family, his wife – Kate Manners, became one as he possibly kidnapped and raped her. (There are some rumours that he “what-a-surprise got locked” with her in one building so after that they just had to get married.) It was a marriage for the money she could bring, and the connections did not hurt either, a nice bonus, one might even say. He also made a deal with Edward Coke to marry off his daughter (her mother protected her fiercely) to his brother. It is said that she cried during the ceremony.

In lieu of the theme of nepotism, as he slowly transformed the royal bedchamber into a place of the de facto lawmaking. He packed every place possible (to an extent) with people what would back him up. For that he was notoriously selling patronages, titles, and land, especially in Ireland where law did not hold him so much. Literally whenever the parliament tried to remove him from power because of how badly (Imo he would have done much better if he had training and not just gone with the general fuck around and find out rule.) he did his job, and people were fed up with him. He started a whole 20D chess match with Richelieu which was pointless, started a few campaigns that ended with him often not paying the soldiers (I mean no one would stab him to death over such thing… right), the last one being a pointless siege that only made England loose troops and money. (He could have one that one, he was so close to it, but he had to celebrate the possibility of victory rather than making people sing papers). He enraged the protestant England by helping to offer help France with fight off Protestants. What else… oh yes, he almost sa’d Anne of Austria which just… mmm the flavour of historical silencing of women, misogyny and men who just have dick measuring contests because.

Tho what I do not believe, and what many line up with, is that he did not poison James (or at least wasn’t aware of doing so??) because I think that he would gain more from helping the king survive than just killing him.

“George Boleyn, endowed, says Anthony á Wood, with ‘admirable discourse’, and ‘symmetry of body’, was the idol of the fairest ladies at Court. His poems are lost, and little remains of him but the story of his fate. His sister and he loved each other with a fervency of affection which demons alone could have converted into guilt.”

ON THIS DAY - 24 October 1537

On This Day (24 Oct) in 1537, Jane Seymour died at Hampton Court Palace, 12 days after giving birth to her only child, Prince Edward (later Edward VI).

Jane had retreated to Hampton Court from London in mid-September 1537 for her 'lying-in', having escaped from the plague spreading throughout London at that time. Despite no reports of a complicated pregnancy, difficulties began once Jane went into labour on 09 Oct. Her labour was prolonged, lasting approx 30 hours; a solemn procession and prayers were said for her on 11 Oct due to concerns regarding the wellbeing of herself and the child. However, at 2 in the morning, on 12 Oct, Jane delivered a highly-anticipated baby boy, named Edward. Her husband, Henry VIII had been with his own household at nearby Esher Palace, Surrey, and on the news of the birth of his son, rode the 4 miles north directly to Hampton Court.

Edward was christened on 15 Oct in a midnight ceremony at the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace. Due to the risks of plague, attendance at the ceremony was 'limited' to 400 attendees; these included the young prince's godparents Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk and the Lady Mary; courtier John Dudley (and likely his wife Jane Guildford), and the prince's uncle Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp, who was known to have carried the young Lady Elizabeth into the chapel. As was tradition, the parents did not attend the ceremony, but rather greeted the guests in the Queen's apartments prior to the procession to the chapel, and then following the completion of the ceremony. Jane participated as expected, with no signs that she was to become so unwell so soon after.

Jane started to become unwell the following afternoon on 16 Oct. She initially suffered from diarrhoea, although stated that she felt better later on. However, during the night her condition worsened, and it became clear that she was suffering from puerperal fever; Alison Weir speculates that it was likely as a consequence of a tear in her perineum during delivery. However, at the time, there were accusations that she had been 'over-indulged' by her attendants, as the understanding of childbirth and hygiene was misunderstood at the time.

Jane's condition worsened so rapidly that she was given last rites by her confessor the Bishop of Carlisle on 17 Oct; however, she appeared to improve, and so celebrations regarding Edward's birth continued. Tragically, Jane quickly became unwell again, entering into a state of delirium, before further deteriorating. On 22 Oct, Thomas Cromwell, Henry's chief minister was informed that she was dying.

At 8pm on 23 Oct, Henry was called to Jane's bedside, and remained with her throughout the night. Last rites were again delivered to her by the Bishop of Carlisle, and she passed away in the early hours of 24 Oct.

Following Jane's death, Henry 'fled' to Windsor Castle, entering into seclusion due to his grief. Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, was placed in charge of Jane's funeral and burial arrangements. Her body was embalmed on 25 Oct, with her entrails being removed and buried in the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace. Her body was dressed in golden robes, wearing jewels and a crown, and lay in state in the presence chamber at Hampton Court, before being moved to Windsor in Nov, which was to be her final resting place.

Jane's ladies-in-waiting at this time included Mary Brandon, Lady Monteagle (Charles Brandon's daughter from his first marriage, and elder half-sister to Frances Brandon), Anne Parr, Countess of Pembroke (younger sister of Katherine Parr), and Jane Parker, Viscountess Rochford (widow of the ill-fated George Boleyn, who had been executed in May 1536 on charges of high treason), Whilst it is not known if Jane Guilford, Lady Dudley was one of her attendants, Jane is likely to have had a place in the new queen's court, as her husband's status rose. What is known is that she one of the women who accompanied Jane's coffin from Hampton Court to Windsor.

HMS Royal Sovereign - 1804

She was a yacht built in 1804 for King George III how used her from 1805-1820. On 25 June 1814, a naval parade was held at Spithead to celebrate the Treaty of Paris.

The model here was created by an unknown builder and shows the yacht not only from the outside but also from the inside. It is not known whether it served as a presentation object for the king or whether he owned it himself as a decorative model.(x)

The day after the parade, the Prince Regent, the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Russia embarked on the Royal Sovereign and led the 15 ships of the line and 31 frigates to sea where battle manoeuvres were observed from the flagship of the fleet.

In October 1824, the Duke of Clarence used the Royal Sovereign for a tour of the fleet at Spithead, where the ship's to and fro forced a warship, the brig HMS Redwing, to fire the royal salute seven times. Clarence used the yacht to visit four ships on this occasion.

On 19 February 1838, Captain Samuel Jackson transferred from the liner HMS Bellerophon to command the Royal Sovereign. He was both master of the ship and commander-in-chief of Pembroke Dockyard. He retained command until he was promoted to Rear Admiral on 23 November 1841.

The Royal Sovereign was commissioned as a depot ship in Pembroke Dockyard in November 1849 and was broken up a year later.

“La indignación moral no es mas que envidia con aureola”

George Herbert

Fue un poeta, orador y sacerdote anglicano de origen inglés nacido en Montgomery Castle, Gales en 1593, reconocido con el paso de los siglos por su obra literaria  como uno de los principales letristas devocionales británicos.

Fue el hermano menor de Edward Herbert, quien fuera el primer barón de Herbert en Cherbury. 

Fue educado en su casa, en la Westminster School y en el Trinity College de Cambridge, fue elegido en 1620 orador de la universidad, lo cual lo describe como el mejor lugar de la universidad.

Durante la carrera académica de Herbert, su único verso publicado fue para ocasiones especiales en griego y en latín.

Herbert luchó durante gran parte de su vida con deseos contradictorios. Por un lado era una académico talentoso y al que parecía prometer una gran carrera política, y por otra parte, guiado por su madre, se inclinaba fuertemente hacia la vocación religiosa, y aunque estaba muy involucrado con la corte, a la edad de 36 años decidió recurrir a la iglesia en donde fue ordenado diácono

Por lo anterior, Herbert renuncia como orador en 1627 y se ordena sacerdote y rector de Fuggleston-cum-Bemerton, una parroquia sencilla dentro de un suburbio de una ciudad antigua llamada Wilton, sede de los parientes de Herbert, los condes de Pembroke. En donde pudo aflorar su talento poético.

George Herbert se hizo amigo del clérigo anglicano Nicholas Ferrar, creador de un conjunto de reglas para la disciplina religiosa de la comunidad.

Herbert se dedicó a lo largo de su vida a escribir poemas, y desde su lecho de muerte envió un volumen manuscrito a Ferrar, pidiéndole su decisión para ser publicados o destruidos. Ferrar los publica con el título “El Templo: poemas sagrados y jaculatorias privadas” en el año de 1633.

Herbert fue un maestro versátil de la forma métrica y de todos los aspectos del arte del verso. Comparte sus conflictos con el poeta metafísico arquetípico y amigo de la familia John Donne, con quien había un gran parecido en el uso del lenguaje común en los ritmos del habla.

Algunos de sus poemas como “El Altar” y “Easter Wings” se consideran poemas patrones, siendo consciente de la peculiaridad de su camino creativo hace mas difícil su verso precisamente para exponer polémicamente su arte poético con insólitas vetas de sátira y con un rigor intelectual de conceptos que supera en modernidad y vanguardismo a mucha de la poesía actual.

Herbert muere de tuberculosis en marzo de 1633 a la edad de 39 años en Bemerton.
