Wardship and First Marriage

“At the age of six or younger, Lucy inherited the manors of Danby, Brotton, Skinningrove, Yarm and Kirkburn (Yorks.), and Bozeat (Northants.), which were thought to be worth at least £241 13s. 8½d. a year, and were probably worth rather more. The Yorkshire lands were held in chief so custody of them during her minority, and the right to award her marriage, belonged to the king, Edward I. This was one of the occasions when secular rights conflicted very obviously with the church’s view of the primacy of consent in making a marriage. 

The implications of the marriages of minor heirs differed according to whether the heir was male or female. A royal grant of the marriage of a minor male heir offered a father the opportunity to marry off a daughter without paying a cash portion, although very often these were bought and sold and in these cases the difference was immaterial. The marriage of a minor heiress was far more significant because of the land she brought with her. 

The official attitude to these young girls is displayed in the terminology of administrative records. This was simply commercial and there is little or no indication that they were considered as persons in their own right. The inquisition after the death of Roger de Merlay concluded that the heirs were Merlay’s three daughters, aged twenty-four, ten and eight, and that the eldest and the youngest were married before their father’s death, the former to William de Greystoke and the latter to ‘the son and heir of Marmaduke de Thweng’. 

Of the five young persons concerned, only Greystoke is actually named. The important points were that one daughter was of full age and her one-third of the estate would pass to her husband, Greystoke, who would take possession in the usual way. The king would have custody of the other two-thirds of the estate because the other two daughters were minors, but he would have the marriage of only one of them because the other was already married.

Similarly, on the death of Lucy’s son Nicholas Meinill in 1341, leaving his ten-year-old daughter Elizabeth as heir, Elizabeth’s marriage was immediately granted to the younger John Darcy, as a reward for the services of his father, and also because ‘of his own acceptable service in staying by the king’s side, and in the hope that for such increase of his estate, he will be the more diligent to serve him’.

Elizabeth was little more than a commodity and there is no hint here of the church’s view of marriage being predicated on the consent of the parties. Most heirs, it would seem, acquiesced in the marriages that were arranged for them, and this was also true, in general, of marriages arranged for children by their fathers. Nevertheless, whether or not it was the result of the church’s theory, it was possible for minor heirs to refuse to enter into marriages. 

A marriage was ‘offered’ to the heir and he had the option of declining, the financial aspect being resolved by the heir paying his guardian, or whomever had acquired his marriage, a cash sum instead. Robert, later Sir Robert, Gower inherited the manor of Carlton as a minor and his marriage belonged to Nicholas Meinill (d.1299). Meinill offered to Robert an illegitimate cousin of his own but Robert objected on the grounds of disparagement. Meinill then sold the marriage to his knight, Sir William de Roseles, for his daughter but Robert refused this match as well, and this resulted in a case heard at the assizes in 1276.

The jury agreed with Gower about the first offer but not about the second, because there was no disparagement, and he was ordered to pay Roseles twice the value of his marriage, the figure being set at eighty marks (£53). Edmund Fitzalan, earl of Arundel, at first objected to his proposed marriage to Alice de Warenne, and in December 1304 she was granted the value of his marriage instead, but he later changed his mind and married her.

Sometimes, heirs were at least offered a choice. William de Cauntelo succeeded his father in 1308 when he was said to be fifteen or sixteen, and his wardship and marriage were granted to his father’s widow, Eve, who may have been his mother. He was still unmarried when, in January 1314, he came to Chancery to sue out the writ for his proof of age, and was offered a choice of two ladies. He refused both so he was told to pay Eve the value of his marriage.

When Thomas de Longvillers proved his age in June 1300 he confirmed that he was not married and it was testified that the king had offered him one of the daughters of the late Adam de Creting and, having seen them, Thomas had agreed to marry the eldest. More surprising, perhaps, is that the option of buying their own marriage might also be allowed to women. 

Edmund de Mulford died leaving an underage daughter, Agnes. The king granted the wardship and marriage to his mother Queen Eleanor (d.1290); she gave them to her yeoman James Daubeney, who sold them to William le Noble. When an inquisition was made in 1305 Agnes was said to be twenty-four and it was reported that, having ‘satisfied’ Noble for her marriage, she was not yet married, but still ‘wholly free’.

While an heir who was nearly adult might object to a proposed marriage successfully, marriages that were contracted by girls under twelve and boys under fourteen required their consent at the age of puberty in order to remain valid. Usually this was simply assumed to have occurred when they began cohabiting but it was possible for either party to dissent, although this had to be made in public and in theory before the bishop or his court.

…While it was possible for young people to choose spouses for themselves, or to dissent to an arranged marriage on reaching the age of puberty, or for minor heirs and heiresses to refuse marriages offered to them, it is unlikely that any of these options were exercised very often. This was particularly the case for young minor heiresses such as Lucy. 

Acquisition of the marriage of a minor, whether male or female, normally included custody of the child’s person, so they would spend some time in the full power of their prospective spouse’s family. Girls were thought to be mature enough to give their official consent at twelve and it is likely that they came under some pressure to do so. Their husband would wish to ensure that the marriage had been formalised within two years because at fourteen she reached full age and he would be able to take possession of her lands. 

It seems unlikely that girls of this age would be able to resist this pressure, even if they wanted to. Having been brought up in the environment of expectation that young people married whom they were told to marry, many may not even have considered resistance. Some marriages contracted by underage heiresses are known to have failed but there were many others for which there is no evidence of breakdown. It is far from clear that a marriage arranged by a guardian rather than by a father was more likely to be unhappy, although there is a possibility, and no more than that, that their personal wishes may sometimes have been allowed to play a greater role in the latter.”

Every peer, upon new creation, shall have place according to their degree and the date of their Letters Patent, and every peer shall hold their place according to their ancienty in their degree, unless it be in case of such persons as are particularly mentioned in any Act of Parliament.

No explanation for WHY it was only in 1685 that they added it to Standing Orders found so far, so here's some alternative context:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/3817236

THE POLITICAL CAREER OF CHARLES SPENCER, THIRD ...

He was active in Essex and its boroughs, and in 1685 also in Cambridge University and Hertfordshire. As lord lieutenant of Devonshire he did not distinguish himself in the campaign against Monmouth, and on 31 July he threw up all his employments out of jealousy of Lord Feversham and John Churchill II.

By this point, he would have been in the House of Lords. Perhaps the memory of what an early entry into politics could do weighed on their minds? But Monck was an extreme case.

This also regards the House of Commons...

But he is the youngest MP we know about, rather than the only one under 21. In fact, it’s already been pointed out that several rather high profile MPs in the eighteenth century were elected well under the legal age of majority, at 21, including Charles James Fox, elected for Midhurst at a mere 19.

As Andrew Thrush’s introductory survey to our 1604-29 volumes shows, though it was assumed to be against the custom of Parliament, it was common in the sixteenth and early seventeenth century for young men under, sometimes well under, the age of 21 to be elected, a practice regarded with irritation by some older members, but vaguely amused tolerance by plenty more. Under-age members included, for example, 15 year olds like Lord Wriothesley and Sir Montagu Bertie; even Sir Francis Bacon boasted that he was an MP at the age of 17.

By the late seventeenth century (and perhaps spurred on by the example of Christopher Monck) it seems to have become a bit less acceptable: there was a debate on the subject in 1678 occasioned by the presence in the House of two relations of the Earl of Danby aged 17 and 18 and in 1685 a motion to expel two teenagers was effectively suppressed. One MP referred to the fact that the issue had ‘ever been industriously avoided’. The case of Monck produced a bizarre anomaly when he succeeded to his father’s title, Duke of Albemarle in 1670, when he was still under 21 and barred from taking his seat in the House of Lords because of his age. No-one could quite work out whether the seat was, as a result, vacant or not.

That is strange. It wasn't against standing orders at the time... so what prevented him?

Also discusses education of members.

Prince Frederick Rupert Maurice von Regenstein, (1786-1815)

“I'm going to get myself in fighting trim/ Scope out every angle of unfair advantage/ I'm gonna bribe the officials/ I'm gonna kill all the judges/ It's going to take you people years to recover from all of the damage” - Up the Wolves by the Mountain Goats

Wikipedia-style character bio below the cut.

Frederick Rupert Maurice, 1st Prince of Regenstein, was an Anglo-German nobleman and cavalry officer in the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars.

Biography

Frederick was born in London, the only son and eldest child of Count Rupert von Regenstein and Countess Catherine von Regenstein (née Dirom), the only daughter of the Marquess of Houlsyke. The marriage between his parents was unhappy, with the count being eighteen years his wife’s senior and neglectful of his wife at times, preferring liaisons with other women.

The family relocated to the County of Regenstein in Lower Saxony in 1787 for Rupert to assume the family seat after his father’s death. However, Frederick and his mother left for England in 1792 at the behest of his father due to the political state on the Continent.

Frederick resided with his mother and newborn sister, Amelia, in London. His father had visited Britain briefly in 1793 before assuming command within the Hanoverian Army in Flanders. He was killed soon afterwards at the Battle of Tourcoing in 1794. The then-dowager countess sent Regenstein to live with her brother, the Marquess of Houlsyke, at his estate in Yorkshire, while keeping his younger sister under her care.

Frederick lived at Danby Hall, the vast estate of the Marquess of Houlsyke, from 1794 to 1799. During his time there he met Thomas Montagu, the Earl of Salisbury, who was two years his elder. He was tutored privately from 1794 to 1797, but began attending Westminster School in 1798.

In 1799, Frederick was sent for from his uncle in Vienna who had arranged for an officer’s commission in an Austrian cavalry unit for his nephew. He arrived in Vienna in November of 1799 and remained there under the guardianship of his uncle and paternal aunt until February of 1800, joining the Austrian Army itself in Italy in the Kingdom of Sardinia in April. He served with the Austrian cavalry at the Battle of Marengo, a French victory, when he was 14.

He was forced out of the Austrian Army soon afterwards, his uncle’s underhanded dealings with the French having been exposed. Frederick left the Austrian Army in 1801 and entered the Hanoverian service in the same year as a junior officer due to the influence of his other paternal uncle, Count Moritz von Regenstein, who was a member of the Privy Council of Hanover. Frederick remained in the Hanoverian Army until the Convention of Artlenburg in 1803, which disbanded the Electorate of Hanover and instigated its occupation by French troops. He fled to Britain soon afterwards with many of the officers formerly in the Hanoverian service who would form the nucleus of the King’s German Legion.

By July of 1803, Frederick was once again in Britain, residing in London for a few months until he joined the King’s German Legion cavalry at Weymouth in November of the same year. He was immediately commissioned as a major in the 1st Regiment of Heavy Dragoons, despite being only 17, due to Count Moritz’s influence in Hanoverian circles in Britain. In 1806, due to German mediatisation, the House of Regenstein was raised from comital to princely rank in compensation for their properties west of the Rhine that were annexed by the French in 1792, as well as for the mediatisation of the County of Regenstein.

It was also during this time that his cousin, Richard Dirom, an outspoken Popular Radical and heir to the Marquessate of Houlsyke, was imprisoned in 1804 due to his close involvement in a planned uprising in London. Despite being the son of a peer and the heir to a peerage, he was imprisoned due to the overwhelming incriminating evidence. He was found dead in his bedroom under suspicious circumstances after he was put under house arrest while awaiting trial.

He remained with the regiment in Dorsetshire until 1807, with lengthy and often leaves of absence to London during that time. He spent those leaves of absence with Lord Salisbury, who likewise did the same, in London. It was during one of those leaves of absence in London when he met Lady Caroline Loftus in 1807, eloping with her soon afterwards. Their only child and son, William, would be born in 1808. His younger sister, Amelia, would come to live with him and his wife in 1808 after their mother’s death.

In 1811, the prince embarked for Lisbon with two regiments of King’s German Legion heavy dragoons. He was the colonel of the 1st Regiment of Heavy Dragoons, having been promoted in 1810 after the previous colonel, Baron Eberhardt Otto George von Bock, was promoted to major-general. He arrived in Lisbon in December of 1811 and wintered in the city before joining the main army under Wellington in 1812. He was involved in a duel in April of 1812, serving as a second to Lieutenant Colonel Montagu. He was engaged in minor skirmishes in the following months.

His first, and most notable battle in the Peninsula was the Battle of Garcia Hernandez on the 23rd of July, in which an outnumbered force of Anglo-German cavalry defeated French infantry in the aftermath of the Battle of Salamanca. It was notable for both the German heavy dragoons achieving the unusual feat of breaking three French infantry squares, and the capture of the eagle of the 6th Line Infantry Regiment by the colonel of the 1st Regiment of Heavy Dragoons, the Prince of Regenstein.

He was engaged in two following battles in 1812, the Battle of Majadahonda on the 11th of August, where the KGL dragoons distinguished themselves, and the Battle of Venta del Pozo on the 23rd of October, before serving as part of the cavalry rear guard during the retreat of the Anglo-Portugese army from Burgos.

During the campaign of 1813-1814, he was further involved in a number of skirmishes. He fought at the Battle of Vitoria on the 21st of June in 1813 with Major-General Bock’s brigade of KGL heavy dragoons as they crossed the bridge at Gamarra and pursued the French towards Pamplona. He returned to Britain in May at the end of the Peninsular war in 1814.

He attended many of the events of the Allied sovereigns' visit to England in June 1814. His younger sister, Princess Amelia Frederica, married the Earl of Salisbury in 1814. Frederick remained in Britain with his wife and child for the rest of 1814 and the beginning of 1815 before travelling to Brussels with his family, along with many other British Army officers, in preparation for the Waterloo Campaign.

He was in attendance at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball on the 15th of June, 1815. He would be killed in action three days later at the Battle of Waterloo while leading an attack with the 1st KGL Heavy Dragoons against French cuirassiers that had charged against Allied infantry squares.

Personal Life

Shortly after his arrival in Yorkshire in 1794, he met Thomas Montagu, Earl of Salisbury and the two became extremely close friends in the following years. The two were lovers from around 1803, when Frederick returned to Britain, to 1815, the year of his death.

In 1807, Frederick eloped with Lady Caroline Loftus, a wealthy Anglo-Irish heiress, which led to much scandal and the brief estrangement of the then-Princess Regenstein from her father. However the marriage was happy, and the two had a son, William, a year later in 1808. The couple also engaged in a ménage à trois with Frederick’s long-time lover, Lord Salisbury, in 1808. He would later willingly claim his wife and Lord Salisbury’s illegitimate child, Charles, as his own.

In 1808, Frederick’s estranged younger sister, Princess Amelia Frederica, came to live with him and his family after their mother’s death. They would remain close from then onwards.

He would have a close, albeit brief, relationship with his only son and child, William, who was heir to the Principality of Regenstein through his father and to the Earldom of Ely and the Loftus Viscountcy through his mother.

His relationship with his maternal and paternal families was distant, although at times beneficial to his career. He had infrequent contact with the Dowager Princess of Regenstein, his estranged mother, with most of their communications consisting of requests for more money by the dowager princess after Frederick’s marriage. He had a more amicable relationship with his paternal family, many of whom resided in Britain after the occupation of Hanover in 1803. He had little contact with his cousin, Richard Dirom, before and after his arrest. He was on better terms with his uncle, Edward Dirom, the Marquess of Houlsyke, and he was included in his will, as well as regularly receiving a large allowance from him in the years before his marriage.

He was a prominent sportsman and rake in Regency London society, infamous for his scandalous behavior and indiscreet liaisons with women, and notable for his skill as a sportsman, particularly in horse-racing, boxing, and swordsmanship.

He, however, enjoyed a happy family life, and was particularly devoted to his son as well as his wife.

Personality

Frederick was greatly admired by the troops both under and not under his command for the care and attention that he paid to their wellbeing, as well as for his bravery and at times, reckless courage. He was well-liked among his fellow officers for his genial nature, although he was disliked by many general officers for his recklessness and obstinate attitude.

He carried some of his temper, bluntness, and forcefulness of character even when away from the army and in London society, earning him many scornful remarks. However, he was markedly more settled when in the company of Caroline or Thomas.

Death and Burial

Frederick was killed at the Battle of Waterloo when he led the 1st KGL Heavy Dragoons against French cuirassiers that had charged against Allied infantry squares in the afternoon. His body was brought back with much effort by the KGL dragoons behind the infantry squares.

His body was intended to be interred in the Regenstein family vault at their estate in Lower Saxony by his father’s family, although this was against his wish. However, his wife intervened and he was buried, according to his wish, at the Dirom family estate of Danby Hall in Yorkshire.

History

The public gardens around the St Pancras Old Church were opened in 1877,after the churchyard was closed for burials in 1850.The gardens are made up of part of the old churchyard for the church of St Pancras,enlarged in 1800,and a separate burial ground for St Giles-in-the-Fields,added 1803.It was a preferred burial place for Catholics,with an area devoted to French émigrés.The burial ground and churchyard were partially destroyed by the development of the Midland Railway;the company formed a cutting in 1865 for the construction of the railway lines from St Pancras Station.The clearances of tombs and bodies was highly controversial and caused considerable protest;the graves were dug up at night,behind screens,a process overseen by Thomas Hardy,then an apprentice architect,and many years later recorded in a poem,‘The Levelled Churchyard’(1882).The grandest tombs survived,including the tomb to Sir John Soane(d 1837)and his wife(d 1815),but others were moved.The ground was levelled and the headstones were placed in mounds or around the walls.In 1875 the remaining land was acquired by the St Pancras Vestry for use as public space,and the gardens were opened to the public in June 1877;Baroness Burdett-Coutts laid the foundation stone of the monument she had presented,to commemorate the graves disturbed in the construction of the railway.The gardens were laid out in their present form in 1890-1 by the Vestry,in conjunction with the Midlands Railway Company. Angela Georgina Burdett, suo jure Baroness Burdett-Coutts(1814-1906)was a prominent philanthropist who is estimated to have given away between £3 and £4 million.As described by her biographer Edna Healey,in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography,Burdett-Coutts set a new standard in philanthropy:prompt and practical,her charity was given with style and without condescension.In her time she was an honoured institution and most of her enterprises bore lasting fruit.Even her visionary schemes that did not survive–Columbia market and Columbia Square–served as models for the shopping precincts and housing estates of a later era.In the breadth and sincerity of her sympathies and in the variety of her social and intellectual interests she has had no rival among philanthropists before or since.Her example not only provided an immense stimulus to charitable work among the rich and fashionable but also suggested solutions to many social problems.She was the first woman to be given a peerage,in 1871,and was thus described by Edward VII:‘after my mother the most remarkable woman in the country’.Burdett-Coutts lived with her companion and partner Hannah Brown for 52 years,after whose death,she married her protégé,William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett;it was called the ‘mad marriage’ by Queen Victoria,for Burdett-Coutts was 66,and Bartlett 29. Burdett-Coutts commissioned this memorial to commemorate a diverse group of people whose graves had been destroyed by the development of the railway.Among the names included on the memorial is that of the Chevalier d’Eon,who was a celebrated French spy and diplomat in the eighteenth century.The Chevalier lived the first part of their life as a man and the latter as a woman.Their gender was widely speculated about,and they were written about in many satires and pamphlets.D’Eon used female pronouns in later life,and signed their name as Mademoiselle d’Eon. Numerous other significant historic figures are noted on the memorial, including Sir Edward Walpole, Sir John Soane, and sculptor Thomas Flaxman, whose tomb (q.v.) stands nearby. The burial of Sidly Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, presumably a Muslim, is quite unusual. In line with Burdett-Coutts’s humanitarian principles, a special dedication is made to the ‘memory of those whose graves are now unseen, or the record of whose names may have become obliterated’.

Amongst people commemorated is the Chevalier d'Eon (1728 – 1810) , an 18th century French spy, diplomat and freemason whose gender transition was recognised in French and English law.

For 33 years, from 1777, d'Éon dressed as a woman, claiming to have been female at birth. Doctors who examined d'Éon's body after d'Éon's death discovered that d'Éon would have actually been designated male at birth.

“That’s not a nice thing to say, is it?” He slid smoothly into the empty seat next to Danbi. “As much as I hate to disagree with you, Miss Geum, I do believe you are being overly harsh on the girl in this video.” Placing a steaming mug of hot water (garnished with a lemon slice) beside the woman’s hand, Yonghwa squinted at the video being played on her device. 

“I think the girl is actually doing very well. Strong presence, great dance and rapped very well.” He took a pause to let his words sink in, taking a sip of his own earl grey tea as he watched Danbi for her reaction. “I mean it,” he slowed down his words for emphasis. 

“I didn’t know what tea you liked and was worried you might not want to get caffeinated, so I just got hot water. Have some, it might help.” Yonghwa wasn’t planning on staying around for too long since cameras were rolling and opposite genders had to be extra careful when they are interacting. He just wanted to check in because he could hear Danbi criticizing herself from all the way across the room. he wondered if the woman even realized she was saying it out loud.

Is there anyone you are cheering on in particular for legacy girls?

“We are all from the same company, isn’t it bad to pick favorites?” He laughed, gently batting away this dangerous question. “All of the legacy girls are extremely talented and I hope everyone got the lines they wanted. I am looking forward to their performances, just as the audience is.” A part of him wanted to praise some of the hard-working ladies but in the end, decided against it. He wasn’t famous enough for mistakes and being too close to the opposite sex was one that could be costly.

Introducing | NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program Recipients and Finalists

NYFA has awarded $661,000 to 98 New York State artists working in the categories of Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Music/Sound, Photography, and Playwriting/Screenwriting.

New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has announced the recipients and finalists of the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program, which it has administered for the past 33 years with leadership support from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The organization has awarded a total of $661,000 to 98 artists (including three collaborations) whose ages range from 25-76 years throughout New York State in the following disciplines: Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Music/Sound, Photography, and Playwriting/Screenwriting. Fifteen finalists, who do not receive a cash award but benefit from a range of other NYFA services, were also announced. A complete list of the Fellows and Finalists follows. 

The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program makes unrestricted cash grants of $7,000 to artists working in 15 disciplines, awarding five per year on a triennial basis. The program is highly competitive, and this year’s recipients and finalists were selected by discipline-specific peer panels from an applicant pool of 2,542. Since it was launched in 1985, the program has awarded over $31 million to more than 5,000 artists. This year, thanks to the generous support of photography nonprofit Joy of Giving Something, NYFA was able to award an additional five Fellowships in Photography, which has the largest application pool of any Fellowship category.

“We are grateful to NYSCA for this annual opportunity to provide nearly 100 artists from New York State with unrestricted cash grants,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, NYFA. “What’s most exciting is that the Fellowship impacts artists of all disciplines and career stages and that these artists are being recognized by a jury of their peers. Beyond the financial aspect, it empowers them to keep creating and exploring new possibilities in their work.”

New York State Council on the Arts Executive Director Mara Manus described how the program makes New York communities more vibrant: “The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship recognizes that artists of all disciplines, backgrounds, ages, and career stages make vital contributions to New York’s creative culture. Over the past 33 years, the Artist Fellowship has been a launching pad and a critical source of support for artists whose work helps build healthy communities in all regions of the state.”

On receiving a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Playwriting/Screenwriting, Brooklyn-based Nabil Viñas said: “It is a deeply moving honor to be recognized by NYSCA/NYFA. I took up screenwriting out of necessity, as it became clear that the voices and stories from my life would not appear in works by others. This fellowship tells me our stories matter, and that my voice is worth hearing.”

For Ben Altman, a Fellow in Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design from Danby, NY, the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship represents another facet of support from NYFA: “NYFA has informed my artistic practice throughout my 12 years in Upstate New York, providing professional development, fiscal sponsorship, grant application support, workshops, critique, and timely advice. To be awarded a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship is as much a tribute to those inputs as it is an important and very welcome recognition of the work NYFA’s support has helped me to produce.”

To Veena Chandra, a Fellow in Music/Sound from Latham, NY, the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship empowers her to “continue to create, promote, and preserve” musical tradition. “I feel blessed to have been playing Indian sitar music for the last 63 years. I am so grateful to my father, who created an environment for me to learn this beautiful music and taught me from the very beginning of my life. To be recognized for my work in performing and preserving Indian Classical music means a lot to me, especially at this point in my career,” she noted.
