Ashton Court - Bristol UK

Ashton Court is a mansion house and estate to the west of Bristol in England. Although the estate lies mainly in North Somerset, it is owned by the City of Bristol. The mansion and stables are a Grade I listed building. Other structures on the estate are also listed.

Ashton Court has been the site of a manor house since the 11th century, and has been developed by a series of owners since then. From the 16th to 20th centuries it was owned by the Smyth family with each generation changing the house. Designs by Humphry Repton were used for the landscaping in the early 19th century. It was used as a military hospital in the First World War. In 1936 it was used as the venue for the Royal Show and, during the Second World War as an army transit camp. In 1946 the last of the Smyth family died and the house fell into disrepair before its purchase in 1959 by Bristol City Council.

Ashton Court dates back to before the 11th century. It is believed that a fortified manor stood on the site, given to Geoffrey de Montbray, Bishop of Coutances, by William the Conqueror. In the Domesday Book it is referred to as a wealthy estate owned by the Bishop of Coutances, with a manor house, a great hall, and courtyards entered through gatehouses. The property passed through successive owners and at the end of the 14th century it was considerably expanded when Thomas De Lions, a nobleman originally from France, obtained a permit to enclose a park for his manor. The house was owned by the Choke family for some time. In 1506 it was sold to Sir Giles Daubeney, a knight and a Chamberlain of Henry VII. Henry VIII gave the estate to Sir Thomas Arundel in 1541 and four years later in 1545 Sir Thomas sold it to John Smyth. The Smyth family owned the property for the next 400 years. Smyth also bought the land which had been owned, until the dissolution of the monasteries, by Bath Abbey. He used the land to extend the deer park, bringing him into conflict with the residents of Whitchurch, who complained that he had used common land.

Mourning that someone made the perfectly reasonable and respectable decision to edit the "although not soul-mates" out of Archbishop Arundel's wikipedia page. Alexa, play Sarah McLachlan's "Angel". 😢

Mary I's Fight For The Throne

24th July - Mary sets off on a royal progress

On the 24th July, after Mary "arranged with her chaplains that they should give thanks and pour forth prayers to Almighty God, the first and sole author of this victory" 1, the new queen of England leaves her castle of Framlingham for Ipswich.

Upon entering the city she is gifted "eleven pounds sterling in gold; with her unmatched kindness she accepted this sum with much gratitude. As soon as her Highness had entered the town, some pretty little boys presented her with a golden heart inscribed 'the heart of the people'." 2 There, Mary is reunited with her household servant Francis Englefield, imprisoned since February.

Various people flock to see Mary, offering fealty and begging pardon, including Elizabeth Howard, Duchess of Richmond and widow of Mary's half brother Henry Fitzroy. Mary refuses to see her "because of a letter she had rashly sent to the [Privy] Council, which mentioned the queen with little honour and scant respect." 3

After Ipswich Mary moves on to Colchester, lodging in the house of her mother's former lady, Muriel Christmas. Here in Colchester, she writes to Peter Carew and other esquires thanking them for their proclamations:

Trusty and right wellbeloved, we greet you well and your letter addressed hither perceive your diligence, your faithfulness and true hearts ready to serve and to have defended us against our traitors and rebels, who now God be thanked are under feet, and the chief thereof as the Duke of Northumberland and others admitted to ward in our Tower of London and other prisons. Wherefore as ye have well deserved we give you and all our good subjects in your company our right thanks, minding to consider the same to your comfort, requiring and praying you all this trouble now being overlaid, to desire our said subjects in God’s peace and ours to repair home to their dwelling places and there to remain till we shall need their further services, with continual prayer to God for his grace to preserve us and the coming wealth to his glory. Given under our signet at our town of Colchester, the first year of our reign 4

After leaving Colchester she returns to her palace at Beaulieu. Around 2am, Mary's cousin and Jane Grey's mother Frances, Duchess of Suffolk, arrives "to tell her that her husband had been the victim of an attempt to poison him, and that the Duke of Northumberland had done it. She then prayed for her husband's release from the Tower, where he had been imprisoned two days previously." 5 Mary is merciful and allows the Duke of Suffolk's sentence to be commuted to house arrest.

On the 28th, Mary finally meets with the Imperial ambassadors after sending "a special messenger to beg us to make haste and press on to our destination this same day." 6 After their arrival, between 10pm and midnight, she tells them the haste has been prompted by letters found on Henry Dudley "who was on his way back from France with letters from the King for the Lady Jane of Suffolk, whom he styled Queen of England." 7

Mary carries on her progress to London, meeting up with her sister Elizabeth at Wanstead. Elizabeth had wrote to her older sister "to congratulate her on her accession, and to beg her to let her know in what dress she desires to see her when she goes to salute her: whether her garb shall be mourning or not." 8

Now, the sisters reunite in the wake of their brothers death, and Mary welcomes her sister "with great warmth, even to kissing all her ladies." 9

Meanwhile...

On the 25th, at 3pm, the Duke of Northumberland arrives at the Tower. He, his sons and co-conspirators including Sir John Gates, Sir Thomas Palmer and Francis Hastings, earl of Huntingdon, are brought by the Earl of Arundel along "streets full of people, which cursed him and called him traitor without measure." 10

The Duchess of Northumberland is let out of prison and sets out to meet Mary, but "the Queen ordered her to return to London, and refused to give her audience." 11

After raising a rebellion to help Mary, on the 28th July Edward Hastings is sworn on to her Privy Council. A day after, his co-leader Sir Edmund Peckham is also sworn on. 12

The Haunted Atlas

Arundel Castle - Sussex, England - 50° 51' 13.19" N / 0° 33' 7.79" E

Haunted ancestral home of the dukes of Norfolk in Sussex, England. The castle, of medieval style and dating mostly to the 19th century, stands on what is believed to be the remains of a 12th-century castle and an earlier castle. It has belonged to the Norfolk family since 1580, when the uncle of Catherine Howard, Henry VIll’s fifth wife, took possession of it.

Best known of the ghosts is the Blue Man, a Cavalier dressed in a blue silk suit, who is usually seen reading in the library as though searching for some bit of infor-mation. The Blue Man has been seen since the time of Charles II (1630-85, reigned 1660-85).

A second ghost is that of a kitchen boy said to have been so badly treated some 200 years ago that he died at a young age. His ghost has been both seen and heard returning to furiously clean pots and pans.

A third ghost is a girl dressed in white, who, according to legend, threw herself off Hiorne's Tower over an unrequited love. Her white form is sometimes seen near the tower on moonlit nights.

The castle has its own death omen, a phantom white bird that flutters against the windows to warn of the impending death of a member of the Howard family. The ghostly bird was said to have appeared just before the death of the Duke of Norfolk in 1917.

Phantom cannon sounds also have been reported booming in the vicinity of the castle. They are said to be from the guns of Sir William Waller, who fought under Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War (1642-48) against Charles l. Waller's cannons battered Arundel Castle.

Welcome to another installment of Scorpion Sundays! This fellow here is another Zodiac denizen, from the Shaftesbury Psalter.

The Shaftesbury Psalter, Lansdowne MS 383, is a manuscript from 12th-century England, hypothesized to have been created for Adeliza of Louvain, Queen of England and second wife of King Henry I. I would tell you more about it and see if there's anything worth checking out with the rest of the Zodiac, but the British Library's manuscript viewer is down, apparently due to cyberattack. So I guess we'll move on.

This one is clearly related to the Scorpio we saw two weeks ago (link here), who was a few decades older and found in Arundel MS 60. If you look down near the gutter of the page, you can see that this one is even also being shot with an arrow, presumably by Sagittarius again but once more I cannot confirm that due to what I must assume is some kind of ransomware scheme.

A few differences. This "scorpion" is in a slightly different pose, standing all bunched up rather than moving forwards. This artist has also directly attached the wings to the legs in a manner that seems anatomically suspect, but the connection is less smooth and stylized than the Arundel manuscript. Instead of a face like a sad bulldog, this one has a beak that makes me think of a duck; its ears are also longer and thinner. It's overall less stylized and more detailed; also, the artist is doing a black outline that's colored in rather than the red line-art of the Arundel zodiac.

Most relevant to us, this one has a distinct point at the end of its tail that I'm going to charitably consider a stinger.

This is the same basic concept overall, though, so here are the points:

Small Scuttling Beaſtie? ✘

Pincers? ✘

Exoskeleton or Shell? ✘

Visible Stinger? ✓

Limbs? 4

Also -1 for having wings, common mistake but Definitely Wrong.

Vibes are good, I like this one. The goofy duck face is charming in its way. I'm not all the way to "I want to give it a hug" like the Arundel scorpion though. I was going to give it a 4/5, but that face honestly does make me smile so let's call it a 4.5/5.

Total points:

4.9 / 10

Slightly more accurate than its relative, but also slightly less huggable.
