A people known as Golodin (Galedon) settled in North Wales and on the Isle of Wight and neighbouring coast. The Welsh Triads include the Galedon among the peoples settled in Britain, occupying Devon and Somerset in south England. This area was to later become a centre for the Belgae identified with the continental Galatae who were also known as Galadi. In French the Hebrew "Gilead" is transliterated as "Galaad". "Caledonian" comes from the same source. Golodon (of Wales), Caledoni (of Scotland) and Galadi of Gaul. In the 200s AD/CE the Desi (from Ireland) settled in southwest Wales (Dyfed) and their rivals the Feni (also from Ireland) settled in North Wales. Most of the Feni were later driven out of North Wales by the Roman-induced Votadini from Scotland who settled in their place. The Votadini are associated with the sons of Cunedda from whom came nearly all of the Royal Houses of medieval Wales. The Votadini in Welsh are called "Golodin". The Golodin were also known as Gododin. The name "Golodin" is linked with Caledonian (of Scotland) and Galatae or Galadi of Gaul. Source: "Brit-Am Now-25", http://britam.org/now25.html.

Aubrey, John. The Natural History of Wiltshire. (Written between 1656 and 1691.) Edited and elucidated by notes, by John Britton. London: Wiltshire Topographical Society, Printed by J.B. Nichols and Son, 1847. Includes a reproduction of the title page of the original manuscript: Memoires of Naturall Remarques in the County of Wilts: To Which are Annexed, Observables of the Same Kind in the County of Surrey, and Flyntshire. By Mr. John Aubrey, R.S.S. 1685...Extracts (pertaining to Wiltshire) from the author's ms. copy in the library of the Royal Society, London, with the addition of the notes of John Ray, John Evelyn and Thomas Tanner from the original ms. in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

NOTE: "John Aubrey (1626-1697) was an English antiquary and miscellaneous writer. He was born in the hamlet of Easton Piercy in the parish of Kington St. Michael near Chippenham in Wiltshire, and educated at Trinity College, Oxford. His most famous work is Lives of Eminent Men, which was not published, however, until 1823. He also wrote Miscellanies (1696), a collection of stories and folklore, the Natural History of Wiltshire (edited by John Britton, 1847), and a Perambulation of Surrey. His most important contribution to the study of British antiquities, the lengthy and discursive Monumenta Britannica, remains in manuscript. A scheme was afoot in 1692 to publish the manuscript and a prospectus and a specimen page were issued in 1693, but nothing more came of the project. It contains the results of Aubrey's field-work at Avebury and Stonehenge and notes on many other ancient sites, including Wayland's Smithy. Apparently the original title of the manuscript was to be Templa Druidum.
"It was Aubrey who, in 1648, at the age of 22, while out hunting with some friends near Avebury in Wiltshire, recognized in the earthworks and great stones placed about the landscape in and about the village a great prehistoric temple. In the following century, William Stukeley was to develop the claim that Avebury was as an ancient cult centre of the Druids. In addition to his 'discovery' of the Avebury complex, Aubrey is also remembered for his inclusion in a plan of Stonehenge in his Monumenta Britannica of a series of slight depressions immediately inside the enclosing earthwork. Curiously, Stukeley does not record them in his painstaking examination of the site, and it was not until excavations undertaken in 1921-25 by the Society of Antiquaries that they were found to be holes cut in the chalk to hold timber uprights. A total of 56 holes were discovered and named the Aubrey Holes in honour of John Aubrey's observation. These holes are now recognized as belonging to the first phase of the monument's construction."

Bede. Venerable Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England. Also The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. With Illustrative Notes, a Map of Anglo-Saxon England, and a General Index. Edited by J. A. Giles. London: Harry G. Bohn, 1847.

NOTE: Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum was written in 731 AD. Bede (672 or 673—735), English historian, theologian, and Saint. Commonly " called ‘the Venerable Bede,’ almost all that we know is contained in the short autobiographical notice which he has appended to his Ecclesiastical History:— ‘Thus much concerning the ecclesiastical history of Britain, and especially of the race of the English, I… a servant of Christ and priest of the monastery of the blessed apostles St Peter and St Paul, which is at Wearmouth and at Jarrow, have with the Lord’s help composed, so far as I could gather it, either from ancient documents, or from the tradition of the elders, or from my own knowledge. I was born in the territory of the said monastery, and at the age of seven I was, by the care of my relations, given to the reverend Abbot Benedict (Biscop), and afterwards to Ceolfrid, to be educated. From that time I have spent the whole of my life within that monastery devoting all my pains to the study of the scriptures; and amid the observance of monastic discipline, and the daily charge of singing in the church, it has ever been my delight to learn or teach or write. In my nineteenth year I was admitted to the cliaconate, in my thirtieth to the priesthood, both by the hands of the most reverend Bishop John (of Hexham), and at the bidding of Abbot Ceolfrid. From the time of my admission to the priesthood to my (present) fifty-ninth year, I have endeavoured, for my own use and that of my brethren, to make brief notes upon the Holy Scripture, either out of the works of the venerable fathers, or in conformity with their meaning and interpretation.’ Then follows a list of his works….

"By [the Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation] Bede has justly earned the title of the Father of English History… It is indeed one of the most valuable and one of the most beautiful of historical works... And though it would be wrong to call Bede a critical historian in the modern sense of the words, he shows a very unusual conscientiousness in collecting his information from the best available sources, and in distinguishing between what he believed to be fact, and what he regarded only as rumour or tradition. Other historical works of Bede are the History of the Abbots (of Wearmouth and Jarrow), and the lives of Cuthbert in verse and prose….Yet it should not be forgotten that Bede could hardly have done what he did without the noble library of books collected by Benedict Biscop… Several quaint and beautiful legends have been handed down as to the origin of the epithet of ‘venerable’ generally attached to his name. Probably it is a mere survival of a title commonly given to priests in his day." SOURCE: From the 1911 Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, http://39.1911encyclopedia.org/B/BE/BEDE.htm.

NOTE: The first edition of this epitome of William Somner's larger Anglo-Saxon dictionary, it was designed to meet the needs of students in the expanding school of Anglo-Saxon literature at Oxford.

NOTE: This much esteemed work [and edition] is a treasure trove of English tradition and early cultural history, the cornerstone of archaeological studies of the Kingdom, its people and languages. Camden’s Britannia is the first comprehensive topographical, geographical and historical study of Britain to be printed. It consumed ten years’ travel, study and effort – Camden had to learn Welsh and Anglo-Saxon in order to read both native and other historians, many still in manuscript, and to carefully peruse the public records. "William Camden has some claim to be considered as the founder, not merely of antiquarian studies, but also of the study of modern history. His name was distinguished in his lifetime, and his work enjoyed a long popularity after his death… If Camden was not the first English historian (in the modern sense of the word), topographer and antiquarian, he was certainly the first to relate the three studies, and his Britannia, primarily topographical, is the first book which shows, even in a rudimentary form, the need to evaluate sources. It was the revolutionary subject matter, and its even more revolutionary treatment of the subject, which made it at once the vehicle… The long tradition of accurate and co-ordinated antiquarian study in Great Britain is almost entirely due to Camden." Following the publication of this work in Latin in 1586, Camden published six further editions, each with revisions during his lifetime, and the work was not translated into English until 1610. It would be valuable to check the original of Gough as well as the reprint of Bishop Gibson's edition of 1695, with considerable additions to Camden's description of each county, which was followed in 1722 by a further enlargement, reprinted in 1753 and 1772, the latter with minor corrections. Numerous editorial comments in these editions were eliminated in modern versions. SOURCE: Carter, John.

NOTE: William Camden (1551—1623), "English antiquary and historian, was born in London on the 2nd of May 1551. His, father, Sampson Camden, a native of Lichfield, had settled in London, and, as a painter, had become a member of the company of painter-stainers. His mother, Elizabeth, belonged to the old Cumberland family of Curwen. Young Camden received his early education at Christ’s Hospital and St Paul’s school, and in 1566 went to Magdalen College, Oxford, probably as a servitor or chorister. Failing to obtain a demyship at Magdalen he removed to Broadgates Hall, afterwards Pembroke College, and later to Christ Church, where he was supported by his friend, Dr Thomas Thornton, canon of Christ Church. As a defender of the established religion he was soon engaged in controversy, and his failure to secure a fellowship at All Souls’ College is attributed to the hostility of the Roman Catholics…[I]t is doubtful if he ever took a degree; and in 1571 he went to London, and devoted himself to antiquarian studies, for which he had already acquired a taste.

"Camden spent some time in travelling in various parts of England collecting materials for his Britannia, a work which was first published in 1586. Owing to his friendship with Dr Gabriel Goodman, dean of Westminster, Camden was made second master of Westminster school in 1575; and when Dr Edward Grant resigned the headmastership in 1593 he was appointed as his successor. The vacations which he enjoyed as a schoolmaster left him time for study and travel, and during these years he supervised the publication ‘of three further editions of the Britannia. Although a layman he was granted the prebend of Ilfracombe in 1589, and in 1597 he resigned his position at Westminster on being made Clarencieux king-at-arms, an appointment which caused some ill-feeling, and the York herald, Ralph Brooke, led an attack on the genealogical accuracy of the Britannia, and accused its author of plagiarism. Camden replied to Brooke in an appendix to the fifth edition of the Britannia, published in 1600, and his reputation came through the ordeal untarnished. Having brought out an enlarged and improved edition of the Brlitannia in 1607, he began to work on a history of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, to which he had been urged by Lord Burghley in 1597. The first part of this history dealing with the reign down to 1588 was published in 1615 under the title Annales rerum Anglicarwm et Hibernicarum regnante Elizabetha. With regard to this work some controversy at once arose over the author’s treatment of Mary, queen of Scots. It was asserted that Camden altered his original narrative in order to please James I, and, moreover, that the account which he is said to have given to his friend, the French historian, Jacques de Thou, differed substantially from his own. It seems doubtful if there is any truth in either of these charges. The second part of this work, finished in 1617, was published, after the author’s death, at Leiden in 1625 and in London in 1627. In 1622 Camden carried out a plan to found a history lectureship at Oxford…He died at Chislehurst on the 9th of November 1623, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where a monument now stands to his memory.

"The Britannia, the first edition of which is dedicated to Burghley, is a survey of the British islands written in elegant Latin. It was first translated into English in 1610, probably under the author’s direction, and other translations have subsequently appeared, the best of which is an edition edited by Richard Gough and published in three volumes in 1789, and in four volumes in 1806. The Annales has been translated into French, and English translations appeared in 1635, 1675 and 1688. The Latin version was published at Leiden in 1639 and 1677, and under the editorship of T. Hearne at Oxford in 1717. In addition to these works Camden compiled a Greek grammar, Institulio Graecae Grammatices Coin pendiaria, which became very popular, and he published an edition of the writings of Asser, Giraldus Cambrensis, Thomas Walsingham and others, under the title, Anglica, Hibernica, Normannica, Cainbrica, a veteribus scripta, published at Frankfort in 1602, and again in 1603. He also drew up a list of the epitaphs in Westminster Abbey, which was issued as Reges, Reginae, Nobiles et ali in ecciesia collegi ala Beati Petri Westmonasterii sepulti. This was enlarged and published again in 1603 and I606. In 1605 he published his Remains concerning Britain, a book of collections from the Britannia, which quickly passed through seven editions; and he wrote an official account of the trial of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators as Actioin Henri cum Garnetum, Societalis Jesuiticae in Anglia superiarem et caeteros.

"Camden, who refused a knighthood, was a man of enormous industry, and possessed a modest and friendly disposition. He had a large number of influential friends, among whom were Archbishop Ussher, Sir Robert Cotton, John Selden, the French jurist Brisson, and Isaac Casaubon. His correspondence was published in London in 1691 by Dr Thomas Smith under the title, Vita Gulielmi Camdeni et Illustrium virorum ad G. Camdenum Epistolae. This-volume also contains his Memorabilia de seipso; his notes of the reign of James I; and other interesting matter. In. 1838 the Camden Society was founded in his honour, and much valuable work has been done under its auspices."

Capgrave, John. Nova Legenda Angliæ. London: Wynkyn de Worde, 1516.

NOTE: John Capgrave (1393-1464) "Augustinian friar, historian, and theologian… His name is known chiefly in connection with the Nova Legenda Angliae, the first comprehensive collection of English saints' lives. But this work was really compiled by John of Tynemouth, a Benedictine (born circa 1290), and Capgrave merely edited and re-arranged it, though it has ever since passed under his name. Yet quite apart from the Nova Legenda, his own undoubted works prove him to have been a scholar of unusual eminence." SOURCE: The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume III. Robert Appleton Company, 1908.

NOTE: Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634), "English lawyer, was born at Mileham, in Norfolk, on the 1st of February 1552. From the grammar school of Norwich he passed to Trinity College, Cambridge; and in 1572 he entered Lincoln’s Inn. In 1578 he was called to the bar, and in the next year he was chosen reader at Lyon’s Inn. His extensive and exact legal erudition, and the skill with which he argued the intricate libel case of Lord Cromwell (4 Rep. 13), and the celebrated real property case of Shelley (I Rep. 94, 104), soon brought him a practice never before equalled, and caused him to be universally recognized as the greatest lawyer of his day. In 1586 he was made recorder of Norwich, and in 1592 recorder of London, solicitor-general, and reader in the Inner Temple. In 1593 he was returned as member of parliament for his native county, and also chosen speaker of the House of Commons. In 1594 he was promoted to the office of attorney-general, despite the claims of Bacon, who was warmly supported by the earl of Essex. As crown lawyer his treatment of the accused was marked by more than the harshness and violence common in his time; and the fame of the victim has caused his behaviour in the trial of Raleigh to be lastingly remembered against him. While the prisoner defended himself with the calmest dignity and self-possession, Coke burst into the bitterest invective, brutally addressing the great courtier as if he had been a servant, in the phrase, long remembered for its insolence and its utter injustice—‘Thou hast an English face, but a Spanish heart!’

"In 1606 Coke was made chief justice of the common pleas, but in 1613 he was removed to the office of chief justice of the king’s bench, which gave him less opportunity of interfering with the court. The change, though it brought promotion in dignity, caused a diminution of income as well as of power; but Coke received some compensation in being appointed a member of the privy council. The independence of his conduct as a judge, though not unmixed with the baser elements of prejudice and vulgar love of authority, has partly earned forgiveness for the harshness which was so prominent in his sturdy character. Full of an extreme reverence for the common law which he knew so well, he defended it alike against the court of chancery, the ecclesiastical courts, and the royal prerogative.

"In 1620 a new and more honourable career opened for him. He was elected member of parliament for Liskeard; and henceforth he was one of the most prominent of the constitutional party. It was he who proposed a remonstrance against the growth of popery and the marriage of Prince Charles to the infanta of Spain, and who led the Commons in the decisive step of entering on the journal of the House the famous petition of the 18th of December 1621, insisting on the freedom of parliamentary discussion, and the liberty of speech of every individual member. In consequence, together with Pym and Sir Robert Philips, he was thrown into confinement; and, when in the August of the next year he was released, he was commanded to remain in his house at Stoke Poges during his Majesty’s pleasure. Of the first and second parliaments of Charles I, Coke was again a member…The last act of his public career was to bewail with tears the ruin which he declared the duke of Buckingham was bringing upon the country. At the close of the session he retired into private life; and the six years that remained to him were spent in revising and improving the works upon which, at least as much as upon his public career, his fame now rests. He died at Stoke Poges on the 3rd of September 1634. Coke published Institutes (1628), of which the first is also known as Coke upon Littleton; Reports (1600—1615), in thirteen parts; A Treatise of Bail and Mainprize (1635); The Complete Copyholder (1630); A Reading on Fines and Recoveries (1684).

Defoe, Daniel. A Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain, divided into Circuits or Journeys. Interspersed with useful observations. Particularly fitted for the perusal of such as desire to travel over the Island. The eighth edition. With great additions, and improvements. Four volumes. London: W. Strahan, 1778. Two engraved maps.

NOTE: Daniel Defoe (circa 1659—1731), "English author, was born in the parish of St Giles, Cripplegate, London, in the latter part of 1659 or early in 1660, of a nonconformist family... As to the variation of name, Defoe or Foe, its owner signed either indifferently till late in life, and where his initials occur they are sometimes D. F. and sometimes D. D. F. Three autograph letters of his are extant, all addressed in 1705 to the same person, and signed respectively D. Foe, de Foe and Daniel Defoe.

"[He] was well educated at a famous dissenting academy, Mr Charles Morton’s of Stoke Newington, where many of the best known nonconformists of the time were his schoolfellows. With few exceptions all the known events of Defoe’s life are connected with authorship."

"Defoe, an experienced a consummate traveler, had toured England and Scotland extensively to observe the public reactions to various political and fiscal polices. This experience earned him the right to speak with authority when composing this travel guide. Very little escaped Mr. Defoe's attention. His observations cover scenery, economic development, conditions of travel, and even the prices of lobsters and other foodstuffs throughout the island of Great Britain. Defoe's literary style, developed in his earlier works of fiction such as Moll Flanders and Robinson Crusoe, lend an air of readability to this study not commonly found in travel guides."

NOTE: In 1086 a great survey of landholding in England was carried out on the orders of William the Conqueror. Its results were recorded which, within less than a century, were to acquire the name of Domesday, or the Book of Judgment, because its decisions were unalterable.

"For the making of the survey each county was visited by a group of royal officers (legati), who held a public inquiry, probably in the great assembly known as the county court, which was attended by representatives of every township as well as of the local lords. The unit of inquiry was the Hundred (a subdivision of the county which had then an administrative entity), and the return for each Hundred was sworn to by twelve local jurors, half of them English and half Normans….

"After a great political convulsion such as the Norman conquest, and the wholesale confiscation of landed estates which followed it, it was William’s interest to make sure that the rights of the crown, which he claimed to have inherited, had not suffered in the process. More especially was this the case as his Norman followers were disposed to evade the liabilities of their English predecessors. The Domesday survey therefore recorded the names of the new holders of lands and the assessments on which their tax was to be paid. But it did more than this; by the king’s instructions it endeavoured to make a national valuation list."

In sum, this detailed survey gives us an extraordinarily vivid impression of life in the eleventh century. The thoroughness of the report provides an unparalleled view of medieval England, including its courts and nascent legal system.

Commonly Call’d Hengham Magna and Hengham Parva, with Mr. Selden’s Notes; and a Copious Index. Second edition of Gregor’s translation (with Selden’s notes in Latin). London: Henry Lintot, 1741.

NOTE: Sir John Fortescue (circa 1394 - circa 1476), "English lawyer…of an ancient family in Devonshire, was born at Norris, near South Brent, in Somersetshire. He was educated at Exeter College, Oxford. During the reign of Henry VI, he was three times appointed one of the governors of Lincoln’s Inn. In 1441 he was made a king’s sergeant at law, and in the following year chief justice of the king’s bench. As a judge Fortescue is highly recommended for his wisdom, gravity and uprightness; and he seems to have enjoyed great favour with the king, who is said to have given him some substantial proofs of esteem and regard. He held his office during the remainder of the reign of Henry VI, to whom he steadily adhered; and having faithfully served that unfortunate monarch in all his troubles, he was attainted of treason in the first parliament of Edward IV. When Henry subsequently fled into Scotland, he is supposed to have appointed Fortescue, who appears to have accompanied him in his flight, chancellor of England. In 1463 Fortescue accompanied Queen Margaret and her court in their exile on the Continent, and returned with them afterwards to England. During their wanderings abroad the chancellor wrote for the instruction of the young prince Edward his celebrated work De Laudibus Legum Angliae. On the defeat of the Lancastrian party he made his submission to Edward IV, from whom he received a general pardon...

"Fortescue’s masterly vindication of the laws of England, though received with great favour by the learned of the profession to whom it was communicated, did not appear in print until the reign of Henry VIII, when it was published, but without a date. It was subsequently many times reprinted."

Taking the form of a dialogue between Henry VI and Fortesque, De Laudibus Legum Angliae tries to show the superiority of the common law over civil law. It incorporates the notion of a limited monarchy, and was commended by commentators such as Sir Walter Raleigh and St. Germain. "It was the first English law book to pass through the newly invented press; and so popular did it become that when, in 1628, Coke published his commentary upon it, it has already appeared in more than seventy editions."

NOTE: Foxe's Book of Martyrs is better known for its lurid descriptions of the deaths and torments of Protestants than for its historical accuracy. A very powerful propaganda tool from the time of its publication under Elizabeth through the 19th century, it probably did more than any other single work to solidify England as a Protestant country; and this American printing, abridged by Goodrich, contains in its preface a warning against the Pope's efforts to establish Catholicism in the United States. "For more than two centuries one of the most widely read books in England. Written in a simple homely style, with lively dialogues between the persecutors and their victims and with gruesome illustrations, it was well calculated to appeal to ordinary unlearned people for whom it was for long their only secular reading."

John Foxe (1516—1587), "the author of the famous Book of Martyrs, was born at Boston, in Lincolnshire, in 1516. At the age of sixteen he is said to have entered Brasenose College, Oxford, where he was the pupil of John Harding or Hawarden, and had for room-mate Alexander Nowell, afterwards dean of St. Paul’s. His authenticated connexion at the university is, however, with Magdalen College. He took his B.A. degree in 1537 and his M.A. in 1543. He was lecturer on logic in 1540— 1541. He wrote several Latin plays on Scriptural subjects, of which the best, Dc Christo triuinphante, was repeatedly printed, (London: 1551; Basel: 1556, &c.), and was translated into English by Richard Day, son of the printer. He became a fellow of Magdalen College in 1539, resigning in 1545. It is said that he refused to conform to the rules for regular attendance at chapel, and that he protested both against the enforced celibacy of fellows and the obligation to take holy orders within seven years of their election. The customary statement that he was expelled from his fellowship is based on the untrustworthy biography attributed to his son Samuel Foxe, but the college records state that he resigned of his own accord and ex honesta causa. The letter in which he protests to President Oglethorpe against the charges of irreverence, &c., brought against him is printed in Pratt’s edition (vol. i. Appendix, pp. 58—6 f).

"On leaving Oxford he acted as tutor for a short time in the house of the Lucys of Charlecote, near Stratford-on-Avon, where he married Agnes Randall. Late in 1547 or early in the next year he went to London. He found a patron in Mary Fitzroy, duchess of Richmond, and having been ordained deacon by Ridley in 1550, he settled at Reigate Castle, where he acted as tutor to the duchess’s nephews, the orphan children of Henry Howard, earl of Surrey. Qn the accession of Queen Mary, Foxe was deprived of his tutorship by the boys’ grandfather, the duke of Norfolk, who was now released from prison. He retired to Strassburg, and occupied himself with a Latin history of the Christian persecuticns which he had begun at the suggestion of Lady Jane Grey. He had assistance from two clerics of widely differing opinions—from Edmund Grindal, who was later, as archbishop of Canterbury, to maintain his Puritan convictions in opposition to Elizabeth; and from John Aylmer, afterwards one of the bitterest opponents of the Puritan party. This book, dealing chiefly with Wycliffe and Huss, and coming down to 1500, formed the first outline of the Actes and Monuments. It was printed by Wendelin Richelius with the title of Commentarii rerum in ecciesia gestarum (Strasburg, 1554). In the year of its publication Foxe removed to Frankfort, where he found the English colony of Protestant refugees divided into two camps. He made a vain attempt to frame a compromise which should be accepted by the extreme Calvinists and by the partisans of the Anglican doctrine. He removed (1555) to Basel, where he worked as printer’s reader to Johann Herbst or Oporinus. He made steady progress with his great book as he received reports from England of the religious persecutions there, and he issued from the press of Oporinus his pamphlet Ad inclytos ac praepotentes Angliae proceres... suplication (1557), a plea for toleration addressed to the English nobility. In 1559 he completed the Latin edition of his martyrology and returned to England. He lived for some time at Aldgate, London, in the house of his former pupil, Thomas Howard, now duke of Norfolk, who retained a sincere regard for his tutor and left him a small pension in his will. He became associated with John Day the printer, himself once a Protestant exile. Foxe was ordained priest by Edmund Grindal, bishop of London, in 1560, and besides much literary work he occasionally preached at Paul’s Cross and other places. His work had rendered great service to the government, and he might have had high preferment in the Church but for the Puritan views which he consistently maintained. He held, however, the prebend of Shipton in Salisbury cathedral, and is said to have been for a short time rector of Cripplegate.

"In 1563 was issued from the press of John Day the first English edition of the Actes and Monuments of these latter and perilous Dayes, touching matters of the Church, wherein are comprehended and described the great Persecution and horrible Troubles that have been wrought and practised by the Romishe Prelates, especiallye in this Realme of England and Scotland, from the yeare of our Lorde a thousande to the time now present. Gathered and collected according to tile true Copies and Wrytinges certificatorie as well of the Parties themselves that Suffered, as also out of die Bishop’s Registers, which were the Doers thereof, by John Foxe, commonly known as the Book of Martyrs. Several gross errors which had appeared in the Latin version, and had been since exposed, were corrected in this edition. Its popularity was immense and signal. The Marian persecution was still fresh in men’s minds, and the graphic narrative intensified in its numerous readers the fierce hatred of Spain and of the Inquisition which was one of the master passions of the reign. Nor was its influence transient. For generations the popular conception of Roman Catholicism was derived from its bitter pages. Its accuracy was immediately attacked by Catholic writers, notably in the Dialogi sex (1566), nominally from the pen of Alan Cope, but in reality by Nicholas Harpsfield and by Robert Parsons in Three Conversions of England (1570). These criticisms induced Foxe to produce a second corrected edition, Ecclesiastical History, contayning the Actes and Monuments of things passed in every kynges tyme in 1570, a copy of which was ordered by Convocation to be placed in every collegiate church. Foxe based his accounts of the martyrs partly on authentic documents and reports of the trials, and on statements received direct from the friends of the sufferers, but he was too hasty a worker and too violent a partisan to produce anything like a correct or impartial account of the mass of facts with which he had to deal. Anthony à Wood says that Foxe ‘believed and reported all that was told him, and there is every reason to suppose that he was purposely misled, and continually deceived by those whose interest it was to bring discredit on his work,’ but he admits that the book is a monument of his industry, his laborious research and his sincere piety. The gross blunders due to carelessness have often been exposed, and there is no doubt that Foxe was only too ready to believe evil of the Catholics, and he cannot always be exonerated from the charge of wilful falsification of evidence. It should, however, be remembered in his honour that his advocacy of religious toleration was far in advance of his day. He pleaded for the despised Dutch Anabaptists, and remonstrated with John Knox on the rancour of his First Blast of the Trumpet. Foxe was one of the earliest students of Anglo Saxon, and he and Day published an edition of the Saxon gospels under the patronage of Archbishop Parker. He died on the 8th of April 1587 and was buried at St Giles’s, Cripplegate." SOURCE: From the 1911 Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, http://32.1911encyclopedia.org/F/FO/FOXE_JOHN.htm.

NOTE: "After his marriage (in 1836) Kemble appears to have resided in London for some time, employing himself in literary work, and specially in transcribing in the British Museum, and in various collegiate and cathedral libraries, the Anglo-Saxon charters afterwards printed in his Codex Diplomaticus. In his knowledge of Teutonic philology he was far ahead of any of his fellow-countrymen, and was the recognised exponent of the investigations of Jacob Grimm and other German writers on the subject. With regard to the study of Anglo-Saxon, Kemble had a more scientific as well as a more accurate knowledge of the language than any earlier scholar, and a deeper insight into its relations to other branches of Teutonic speech. He used his knowledge chiefly in illustrating Anglo-Saxon literature and history, writing in all his original work as a man of letters no less than as a scholar. In commenting on an early fable he notes its significance, traces its development, and examines the forms under which it appears at different times and in various countries. The publication of his collection of documents belonging to the Anglo-Saxon period may be said to have laid the foundation of our present knowledge of the institutions and customs of the English before the Norman conquest. Useful additions may be made to his collection, but his Codex Diplomaticus must remain the great original of all such undertakings, and the pattern to be followed by all future editors of charters. Besides the exact knowledge of Anglo-Saxon and the skill in deciphering manuscripts displayed by this book, it presents, though so unobtrusively as to be almost likely to escape notice, proofs of an amazing amount of knowledge and critical acumen. Every charter which offers ground for suspicion is marked with an asterisk. Kemble's work was always done with minute care, and a charter that he has not marked as spurious may as a rule safely be accepted as genuine. Founded on the Codex, Kemble's Saxons in England was, until the appearance of Bishop Stubbs's Constitutional History in 1873, the best English treatise on the polity of our ancestors before the coming of the Normans."

Chatham: Printed by W. Burrill, High Street; published by Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy, 1826.

NOTE: William Lambarde [1536-1601] historian of Kent. Studied Anglo-Saxon and History under Laurence Nowell. Lambarde's first work was a translation of Anglo-Saxon laws (1568). In 1570 he completed the first draught of Perambulation and sent it to his friend Thomas Wotton, who printed it in 1576. This book was the first county history published in Britain and "is considered a model of arrangement and style." It would appear that he originally planned for this walk to be an installment for a general account of England, but he abandoned this plan when he discovered Wotton was working on a similar project. Lambarde was an English jurist and antiquary. In 1556 he was admitted to Lincoln’s Inn and in 1568 he published a collection and transcript of Saxon laws. In 1574 he founded a hospital for the poor in Greenwich. In 1578 he was appointed Justice of the Peace in Kent and later published an account of his duties in Eirenarcha (gathered in 1579, revised 1581). This manual ‘remained for a long time the standard authority’ and was reprinted several times between 1582-1610 with additions. In 1591 he completed Archeion: Or Commentary on the Courts of Justice in England and this work was published in 1635. In 1601 he was appointed Keeper of the Records in the Tower. The Perambulation of Kent is among the earliest and most famous of English county histories. Still an important work; the book is considered a "model of topographical writing." The section on the customs of Kent includes much valuable information regarding gavelkind. Lambarde is also the author of an important early work on Anglo-Saxon law and a manual for justices of the peace.

NOTE: John Leland (also Leyland, Leylande or Laylonde) (circa 1506-1552), the first and last Royal Antiquary of England. "He owed his education at St Paul’s school under William Lilly, and at Christ’s College, Cambridge, to the kindness of a patron, Thomas Myles. He graduated at Cambridge in 1521, and subsequently studied at All Souls College, Oxford, and in Paris under Francois Dubois (Sylvius). On his return to England he took holy orders. He had been tutor to Lord Thomas Howard, son of the 3rd duke of Norfolk, and to Francis Hastings, afterwards earl of Huntingdon. Meanwhile his learning had recommended him to Henry VIII., who presented him to the rectory of Peuplingues in the marches of Calais in 1530. He was already librarian and chaplain to the king, and in 1533 he received a novel commission under the great seal as king’s antiquary, with power to search for records, manuscripts and relics of antiquity in all the cathedrals, colleges and religious houses of England. Probably from 1534, and definitely from 1536 onwards to 1542, he was engaged on an antiquarian tour through England and Wales. He sought to preserve the MSS. scattered at the dissolution of the monasteries, but his powers did not extend to the actual collection of MSS. Some valuable additions, however, he did procure for the king’s library, chiefly from the abbey of St Augustine at Canterbury. He had received a special dispensation permitting him to absent himself from his rectory of Peuplingues in 1536, and on his return from his itinerary he received the rectory of Haseley in Oxfordshire; his support of the church policy of Henry and Cranmer being further rewarded by a canonry and prebend of King’s College (now Christ Church), Oxford, and a prebend of Salisbury. In a Strena Henricoi (pr. 1546), addressed to Henry VIII. in 1545, he proposed to execute from the materials which he had collected in his journeys a topography of England, an account of the adjacent islands, an account of the British nobility, and a great history of the antiquities of the British Isles…[However] he was not destined to complete these great undertakings, for he was certified insane in March 1550, and died on the 18th of April 1552.

"Leland was an exact observer, and a diligent student of local chronicles. The bulk of his work remained in MS. at the time of his death, and various copies were made, one by John Stowe in 1576. After passing through various hands the greater part of Leland’s MSS. were deposited by William Burton, the historian of Leicestershire, in the Bodleian at Oxford. They had in the meantime been freely used by other antiquaries, notably by John Bale, William Camden and Sir William Dugdale... Some of Leland’s MSS., which formerly belonged to Sir Robert Cotton, passed into the possession of the British Museum."

NOTE: I could not find a record of Papal Usurp., by Prynne. However, Mackie undoubtedly was referring to William Prynne (1600-1669), English parliamentarian, lawyer, and propagandist. According to the Dictionary of National Biography, he wrote about 200 books and pamphlets, many against the Papacy. As appointed keeper of the records to Charles II, Prynne published several works on British history including Brevia Parliamentaria Rediviva in 1662, a widely used compilation of English constitutional history. William Prynne was a contentious and erudite Puritan attorney and onetime keeper of records for Parliament who is remembered for his numerous books and pamphlets about legal history, religion and politics, and for his ability to antagonize others. He was particularly critical of the court and clergy during the reign of Charles I. His personality and choice of targets eventually led to his disbarment, imprisonment, and mutilation (loss of ears) by the Star Chamber.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica reports Prynne was "Puritan to the core, with a tenacious memory, a strength of will bordering upon obstinacy, and a want of sympathy with human nature. His first book, The Perpetuity of a Regenerate Man’s Estate (1627), defended one of the main Calvinistic positions, and The Unloveliness of Love-locks and Health’s Sickness (1628) attacked prevailing fashions without any sense of proportion, treating follies on the same footing as scandalous vices.

"In 1629 Prynne came forward as the assailant of Arminianism in doctrine and of ceremonialism in practice, and thus drew down upon himself the anger of Laud. Historiomastix, published in 1633, was a violent attack upon stage plays in general, in which the author pointed out that kings and emperors who had favoured the drama had been carried off by violent deaths, which assertion might easily be interpreted as a warning to the king, and applied a disgraceful epithet to actresses, which, as Henrietta Maria was taking part in the rehearsal of a ballet, was supposed to apply to the queen. After a year’s imprisonment in the Tower Prynne was sentenced by the star chamber on the 17th of February 1634 to be imprisoned for life, and also to be fined £5ooo, expelled from Lincoln’s Inn, rendered incapable of returning to his profession, degraded from his degree in the university of Oxford, and set in the piliory, where he was to lose both his ears. The latter portion of the sentence was carried out on the 7th of May, and the rest of his punishment inflicted except the exaction of the fine. There is no reason to suppose that his punishment was unpopular. In 1637 he was once more in the star chamber, together with Bastwick and Burton. In A Divine Tragedy Lately Acted he had attacked the Declaration of Sports, and in News from Ipswich he had assailed Wren and the bishops generally. On the 3oth of June a fresh sentence… was executed. The stumps of Prynne’s ears were shorn off in the pillory, and he was branded on the cheeks with the letters S.L., meaning ‘seditious libeller,’ which Prynne, however, interpreted as ‘stigmata laudis.’ He was removed to Carnarvon Castle, and thence to Mont Orgueil Castle in Jersey, where he occupied himself in writing against popery.

"Immediately upon the meeting of the Long Parliament in 1640 Prynne was liberated. On the 28th of November he entered London in triumph, and on the 2nd of March 1641, reparation was voted by the Commons, at the expense of his persecutors. Prynne now attacked the bishops and the Roman Catholics and defended the taking up of arms by the parliament. The words "Touch not mine anointed," he declared in the Vindication of Psalm cv. ver. 15 (1642), only commanded kings not to oppress their subjects. In 1643 he took an active part in the proceedings against Nathaniel Fiennes for the surrender of Bristol, and showed a vindictive energy in the prosecution of Archbishop Laud. He manipulated the evidence against him, and having been entrusted with the search of Laud’s papers, he published a garbled edition of the archbishop’s private "Diary," entitled A Breviate of the Life of Archbishop Laud. He also published Hidden Works of Darkness brought to Light in order to prejudice the archbishop’s case, and after his execution, Canterbury’s Doom . . . an unfinished account of the trial commissioned by the House of Commons. Prynne supported a national church controlled by the state, and issued a series of tracts against independency, including in his attacks Henry Burton his former fellow sufferer in the pillory…He also opposed violently the Presbyterian system, and denied the right of any Church to excommunicate except by leave of the state [in] A Vindication oj Four Serious Questions (1645). He was throughout an enemy of individual freedom in religion.

"Prynne took the side of the parliament against the army in 1647, supported the cause of the eleven impeached members and visited the university of Oxford as one of the parliamentary commissioners. On the 7th of November 1648 Prynne was returned as member for Newport in Cornwall. He at once took part against those who called for the execution of Charles, and on the 6th of December delivered a speech of enormous length in favour of conciliating the king. The result was his inclusion in ‘Pride’s Purge’ on the morning of the 6th, when, having resisted to military violence, he was imprisoned. After recovering his liberty Prynne retired to Swainswick. On the 7th of June 1649 he was assessed to the monthly contribution laid on the country by parliament. He not only refused to pay, but published A Legal Vindication of the Liberties of England, arguing that no tax could be raised without the consent of the two houses. In the same year he began a long account of ancient parliaments, intended to reflect on the one in existence, and in June 1650 he was imprisoned in Dunster Castle, afterwards at Taunton, and in June 1651 at Pendennis Castle. He was at last offered his discharge on giving a bond of £1000 to do nothing to the prejudice of the commonwealth. This he refused, and an unconditional order for his release was given on the 18th of February 1653. After his release’ Prynne further expressed his feelings in defence of advowsons and patrons, an attack on the Quakers (1655), and in a pamphlet against the admission of the Jews to England (A Short Demurrer to the Jews) issued in 1656…

"On the restoration of the Rump Parliament by the army of the 7th of May 1659 fourteen of the secluded members, with Prynne among them, claimed admittance...On the 27th of December Prynne made another fruitless attempt to take his seat. In obedience to the popular voice, however, on. the 21st of February 1660, the ejected members of 1648, led in triumph by Prynne, wearing a basket-hilt sword, re-entered the house. He supported the Restoration in this parliament, and in the Convention Parliament, which met on the 25th of April 1660, and in which he sat for Bath, he urged severe measures against the regicides, and the exclusion of several individuals from the Act of Indemnity. He was foremost in support of the claims of the Presbyterians and against the bishops, advocated the indiscriminate infliction of penalties, and demanded that the officials of the commonwealth should be compelled to refund their salaries. He was nominated a commissioner for disbanding the army, and was appointed keeper of the records in the Tower, a post in which he performed useful services."

NOTE: William Somner (1598-1669) held office in the Canterbury archdiocese under William Laud and is best remembered for an edition of Anglo-Saxon laws. "The earliest history of Canterbury, Antiquities of Canterbury, written by William Somner in 1640, has proved to be one of the most enduring histories of the many written about the city. William Somner was born at 5 Castle Street and went to King’s School. His father was the registrar of the consistory court of the cathedral, dealing with ecclestical business and legal matters. William Somner was a Royalist, but unfortunately his book, published as the Civil War began, proved a great help to the Cromwellian forces who succeeded in entering the city; later, he was imprisoned in Deal for his anti-parliamentary activities. Somner presented Charles II with a copy of the Antiquities of Canterbury, when the re-instated king arrived at Dover in 1660." The Cathedral Library houses Somner’s books and manuscripts which were purchased by the Dean and Chapter from his widow in 1669. "Apart from his notes and printed books on history, there are manuscripts and printed books on Anglo-Saxon studies which he used to prepare his Anglo-Saxon dictionary."

Stukeley, William. Itinerarium Curiosum: or, An Account of the Antiquitys and Remarkable Curiositys in Nature or Art, Observ'd in Travels thro' Great Britain....The second edition, with large additions. London: Baker and Leigh, 1776.

NOTE: William Stukeley (1687-1765), physician and later clergyman, was one of the co-founders of the Society of Antiquities. Itinerarium Curiosum was the first of his books regarding his antiquarian tours, and the plates in it are notable because besides showing the ancient sites in relation to the surrounding countryside, they show England before the changes brought on by enclosing the commons. The second volume of the second edition contains material which was not published in the first, which in turn has led many commentators to prefer the second edition over the first. Of this particular work, John Michell says, "As records of ancient monuments these have never been surpassed. Archaeologists still refer to Stukeley's plates and to the volumes of his manuscript notes and sketches, many of them now in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, as accurate accounts, often the only ones ever made, of monuments now vanished." Stukeley later became very involved with studying the Druids. SOURCE: John Michell, Megalithomania: Artists, Antiquarians, and Archaeologists at The Old Stone Monuments.

Second edition, London: Printed by William Bowyer, 1744; reprinted by James Nasmith, with many additions, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1787.

NOTE: According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, ThomasTanner (1674-1735), "English antiquary and prelate, was …educated at Queen's College, Oxford, taking holy orders in 1694. Next year he became chaplain and then fellow of All Souls College, and a few years later private chaplain to John Moore (1646-1714), bishop of Norwich and afterwards of Ely, who appointed him chancellor of the diocese of Norwich. In 1706 he became rector of Thorpe, near Norwich, in 1713 a canon of Ely, in 1724 a canon of Christ Church, Oxford, and in 1732 bishop of St Asaph. He died in Oxford, where he had passed most of his life, on the 14th of December 1735.

"Tanner's chief work is his Notitia Monastica, a short account of all the religious houses in England and Wales. This was published at Oxford in 1695; it was reprinted with additions by the author's brother, John Tanner, in 1744; and was reprinted again with further additions by James Nasmith (1740-1808) in 1787. He also wrote Bibliotheca Britannico-Hibernica, a dictionary of all the authors who flourished in England, Scotland and Ireland before the opening of the I7th century, at which he laboured for forty years. This was not published until 1748, thirteen years after the author's death. The bishop collected materials for a history of Wiltshire and worked for some time on a new edition of the works of John Leland. His valuable collection of books and manuscripts is in the Bodleian library at Oxford."

Composed By the Travels and Studie of John Weever. London: Printed by Tho Harper and are to be sold in Little Britayne by Laurence Sadler at the Signe of the Golden Lion, 1631; 871pp. Frontspiece is a full page engraving, 5 other full page engraved plates, engraved title page and 12 other pages with 15 engravings.

NOTE: According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, John Weever (1576-1632) was an "English poet and antiquary, a native of Lancashire… He was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge; where he resided for about four years from 1594, but he took no degree. In 1599 he published Epigrammes in the Oldest Cut and Newest Fashion, containing a sonnet on Shakespeare, and epigrams on Samuel Daniel, Michael Drayton, Ben Jonson, William Warner and Christopher Middleton, all of which are valuable to the literary historian. In 1601 he published The Mirror of Martyrs or The Life and Death of ... Sir John Oldcastle, which he calls in his preface the " first trew Oldcastle," perhaps on account of the fact that Shakespeare's Falstaff first appeared as Sir John Oldcastle. In the fourth stanza of this long poem, in which Sir John is his own panegyrist, occurs a reminiscence of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar which serves to fix the date of the play. After travelling in France, the Low Countries and Italy, Weever settled in Clerkenwell, and made friends among the chief antiquaries of his time. The result of extensive travels in his own country appeared in Ancient Funerall Monuments (1631), now valuable on account of the later obliteration of the inscriptions."

Despite the broad geography implied in the title, the work covers only the dioceses of Canterbury, London, Norwich, and Rochester. No other volumes were published in this projected series as he died just a few months after Ancient Funerall Monuments was published. As a history of Medieval monuments and eminent personages, Weever has been used as a reference source by many historians and writers. Iain Wright describes him in an essay on the Queen's College website as "an extraordinarily interesting and eccentric character - connoisseur of graveyards, tobacco-enthusiast, sycophant, satirist, dwarf, penner of dirty ditties, egotist, pugnacious Lancashire man and proud of it. Ancient Funerall Monuments testifies to the breadth of his literary interests—it is packed with literary allusions and quotations". Joslin Hall Company reports "In any case, Ancient Funerall Monuments remains a fitting monument to the memory of this incredibly interesting antiquary. The book is handsomely printed with a variety of typefaces, ruled margins, woodcuts and decorated initial letters."

NOTE: John Lingard (1771-1851), English historian. In "1794 he settled along with seven other former members of the old Douai college at Crook Hall near Durham, where on the completion of his theological course he became vice president of the reorganized seminary. In 1795 he was ordained priest, and soon afterwards undertook the charge of the chairs of natural and moral philosophy. In … 1811, after declining the presidency of the college at Maynooth, he withdrew to the secluded mission at Hornby in Lancashire, where for the rest of his life he devoted himself to literary pursuits. In 1817 he visited Rome, where he made researches in the Vatican Library. In 1821 Pope Pius VII created him doctor of divinity and of canon and civil law…

"Lingard wrote The Antiquities of the Anglo-Saxon Church (1806), of which a third and, greatly enlarged addition appeared in 1845 under the title The History and Antiquities of the Anglo-Saxon Church; containing an account of its origin, government, doctrines,' worship, revenues, and clerical and monastic institutions; but the work with which his name is chiefly associated is A History of England, from the first invasion by the Romans to the commencement of the reign of William III, which appeared originally in 8 vols. at intervals between 1819 and 1830. Three successive subsequent editions had the benefit of extensive revision by the author; a fifth edition in 10 vols. 8vo appeared in 1849, and a sixth, with life of the author by Tierney prefixed to vol. x., in 1854-1855. Soon after its appearance it was translated into French, German and Italian. It is a work of ability and research; and, though Cardinal Wiseman's claim for its author that he was ‘the only impartial historian of our country’ may be disregarded, the book remains interesting as representing the view taken of certain events in English history by a devout, but able and learned, Roman Catholic in the earlier part of the 19th century." Despite the Britannica’s conclusion, Lingard was an honest historian who let the facts speak for themselves, even when they challenged church dogma. In this he upheld the "view that the search for historical truth, despite the obstacles, is not a waste of time or effort."

NOTE: Sharon Turner (1768-1847), "English historian, was born in Pentonville, London, on the 24th of September 1768. His parents came from Yorkshire. He was educated at a private school kept by Dr Davis in Pentonville, and was articled to a solicitor in the Temple in 1783, and when his master died in 1789 he continued the business. He remained in business at first in the Temple, and later in Red Lion Square till 1829, when failing health compelled him to retire. He settled for a time at Winchmore Hill, but afterwards returned to London, and died in his son's house on the 13th of February 1847. In early boyhood he had been attracted by a translation of the "Death Song of Ragnar Lodbrok," and was led by this boyish interest to make a study of early English history in Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic sources. He devoted all the time he could spare from his business to the study of Anglo-Saxon documents in the British Museum. The material was abundant and had hitherto been neglected. When the first volume of his History of England from the earliest times to the Norman Conquest appeared in 1799, it was at once recognized as a work of equal novelty and value. The fourth volume appeared in 1805. He also published a continuation (History of England during the Middle Ages), a Modern History of England, a Sacred History of the World, and a volume on Richard III (1845), and he was the author of pamphlets on the copyright laws (1813)."

NOTE: Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell (1854-1938; LL.D.) was a noted Orientalist, archaeologist, naturalist, physician and authority on Tibet. Stationed for years with the Indian Army at Darjeeling, Waddell had repeatedly risked his life by disguising himself and crossing the border into Tibet - a country Europeans were forbidden to enter - to study the language and culture. Waddell’s expertise in ancient languages also included Sumerian and Egyptian. He was a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute and Linnean Society, Honorary Correspondent of the Indian Archaeological Survey and Ex-Professor of Tibetan at London University. His many detailed and controversial works challenge standard histories but have proven of enduring interest.
