E. Gaston TAKEN FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH EARL W. JONES: The son of a railroad worker, Earl Weldon Jones was born in Hoecker, Mo. The town no longer exists because it was built to service the families of the railroad workers. His first four or five grades of school were in Summerfield, Maries Co.; then he went to Freeburg, Osage Co. until his freshman year in high school. He graduated from high school in Belle on 18 May 1945. He joined the Army within 10 days after graduating and he was inducted at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, Mo. on 30 May 1945. He went to Camp Livingston, LA for basic training, came home for a 20 day leave in October, and then went to Camp Pickett, VA. A few days later boarded the USS West Point, headed for Germany on 17 Nov 1946. He landed in France at Camp Pall Mall, where he stayed for 5 days. Then they travelled on the 40 and 8 (a boxcar that would hold 40 men or 8 horses), eventually ending up in Mannheim, where he was assigned to the 54th Quarter Master Detachment. There they operated a mobile laundry facility in which prisoners were used for much of the labor. He was assigned there for eleven months before returning to the states, through Bremerhaven, where he was discharged at the separation center at Ft. Sheridan, Il. on 2 Nov 1946. Earl had been dating Pauline Breuer through high school and when he returned to Belle from Germany they made plans to get married. They were married in Belle Baptist Church on Dec 28, 1947. Earl worked at numerous different occupations returning from the Army. Some of his endeavors included driving trucks in the clay pits of Maries and Gasconade Counties in the 1940's; owning and operating a grocery store for two years in Belle, Maries Co.; working in the lasting department of the International Shoe Factory in Belle, putting platforms and heels in womens shoes. It was while working at the Shoe Factory that he began to learn the electrical trade which would eventually become his primary income. With each additonal experience he became a more marketable asset and he eventually settled in the southeastern "bootheel" where he lived in the city of Malden until 1975. It was there that he had his first experience working at power plants, and it was that experience that eventually led him to Kentucky, where he had an opportunity to help build a power plant in Hawesville. That experience eventually led to him becoming the electrical supervisor for the Green Plant of Big Rivers Electric, near Sebree, Webster Co. Ky. for over 20 years before retiring in 1995. Earl is a sensitive and generous man, known for always being willing to make personal sacrifices to help anybody who needs help. He loves to visit new and interesting places, frequently traveling for weekend stays at one of several timeshare facilities he purchased over the years. He enjoys hunting and fishing and likes to make things with his hands. In addition to these activities he has historically done most of the cooking for the family.

The first authentic account we have of the current family is the record of John Hussey and Mary Wood, December 5, 1593, when they both were of Dorking, Surrey, England, and were persons of good position and of moderate estate in lands. John Hussey died in England, leaving a widow and children. Of the latter the records are meagre, but there is known to have been a son John, who died young, a son Christopher and one or more daughters of whom we have no authentic account. Another source, a Hussey genealogy chart provided by a Hussey descendant, Dorothy Carter of Waynesville, OH, in 1992, John Hussey died in Dorking on 5 Feb 1630. The above information is quoted from the quarterly "Historic Nantucket", volume 27, Oct. 1979, No. 2. J. William Bardoe, Director of Research, English Genealogical Research, Guildford, Surrey, furnished the entries below, some of which he rechecked for accuracy, and stated that the registers of the adjacent parishes of Abinger and Sheir "Shera" do not contain Hussey entries prior to 5th 12. 1593.

Reverend Stephen BACHILER was born 23 Jun 1561 in Wherwell, Hampshire, England. He died 1656 in London, England and was buried 31 Oct 1656 in Allhallows Staining Church Cemetery, London. Stephen married Ann BATE on 1590. There appears to be numerous spellings of his surname: "Batchiler, Bachiler, Batchelor, Bachelor". Grolier Encyclopedia uses the spelling as Bachiler, so this is the one I will use. Stephen was the founder of Hampton, N. H., in 1638. He emigrated to the Colonies in 1632 on the "William and Francis." His first residence was in Lynn "then Saugus", Mass. Of his known children, only Theodate and Deborah came to New England. He had 4 wives, but his first wife was the mother of all of his 6 children. Richard Milhous Nixon, 37th President of the U. S., was both a 10th and an 11th generation descendant of Rev. BACHILER. Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., 38th President of the U. S., is a 13th generation descendant of Rev. BACHILER. "The Great Migration Begins," pgs. 61 - 69, Robert Charles Anderson "NEHGS", Boston 1995.

Individual History GIVN John Baron SURN HUSSEY Source: Compiled by Dora Davenport Jones, deceased. Furnished by Jean A. Sargent, 12217 Shadetree Lane, Montpelier, Laurel, MD 20708. The genealogy and notes from Sir John to John Hussey, born 1572, are based on Ms Jones' information, which is contained in an unpublished manuscript entitled:_______________L I N E A G E_______________From the VIKINGS = NORSEMEN = NORMANS to Englandwith WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR to the BARONS WHO WERE MAGNA CHARTA SURETIES to the first emigrant ancestor CHRISTOPHER HUSSEY____________________to the New England Colonies in America ca 1630down to the Present Time = 1973andAllied families, including the Royalty and Nobility of Europe and the British Isles, to Charlemagne, Alfred the Great and others A great deal has been written concerning the political activities of Sir John Hussey during the reign of Henry VIII and even though all data were abstracted from original court records, some details vary slightly. He fought on the king's side at Stokes in 1486 and became comptroller of the royal household. Hussey received large grants of land in Lincolnshire and neighboring counties, became one of the council, master of the king's wards, knight of the body, and took 340 men to the French War in 1513, when he was one of the commanders in the rear guard. He was employed on various diplomatic missions, and was sent as envoy to the emporor after the Field of Cloth of Gold. John Hussey was amoung those knighted at the battle of Blackheath, Jun17,1497. He was made a 'Knight Banneret', possibly at the Battle of Spurs, in France on 16 Aug. 1513. A banneret had the privilege of leading his retainers to battle under his own flag. They ranked at the next order below Knights of the Garter providing they were created by the king on the field of battle.In 1521 he was made chief butler of England. In 1529 he was summoned by writ to the House of Lords as 'Johannes Hussey de sleford, chivaler'. Hewas a signatory to the document sent from England begging the papal sanction to Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Arragon, and was one of those at the queens trial who gave evidence as to her previous marriage with Prince Arthur. He was appointed in 1533 chamberlain to the illegitimized "Princess" Mary, and his allegiance to her father seems about the same time to have begun to waver. On the outbreak of the Lincolnshire rebellion, known as the Pilgriamage of Grace, in the autumn of 1536, Hussey seemed to remain firm in his allegiance to the King. Lord Hussey had been able to bring in his tenants to fight for the king when he had been ordered to do so. He was accused of making no effort to raise men to put down the rebellion, and the king accused him of being a traitor when he refused to tell the names of the men behind the rebellion. He was tried with Lord Darcy at Westminster on 15 May1537.Cromwell offered him a pardon if he would furnish particulars concerning the rebellion and he said he could not do so. There is a difference of opinion as to where he was executed -- Sleaford or Tyburn, and as to whether he was hunor beheaded. In a history of "The Earlier Tudors; by Mackie, it is related that Hussey was beheaded in Lincoln. After John Hussey was attainted of treason and executed, his manor of Sleford,with other lands to the value of five thousand pounds per annum were confiscated, and barony forfeited. His childred were, however, afterwards restored in parliament the 5th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth(1563);but neither his estates nor the title were granted to his heirs. According to the Lincolnshire Pedigrees, Sir John Hussey of Sleaford,Knight,1st son and heir; Sheriff of county Lincoln 9 Henry 7; aet. 30 at his father's death; Knight of the King;s Body 5 Henry 8; Chief Butler of England 13 Henry 8; summoned to Parliament 3 Nov 21 Henry 8, 1529; attained and beheaded at Lincoln 29 June 29 Henry 8, 1537; his children restored in blood only 5 Eliz.,1562.

He died 3 Feb 1398/1399 in Probably at Liecster Castle. John married Constance of Castile. John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, is the fourth born (and second surviving) son of Edward III, King of England, and Phillipa of Hainault. He is the most powerful man in England, his wealth and influence surpassing that of his father, as of his elder brother, Edward, the Black Prince. He was born in Ghent (on one of his mother's travels with Edward's army), thus the popular name 'of Gaunt'. Lancaster is a tall, spare, but well built man who is somewhat conservative in his politics, somewhat radical in his religion (as shown by his support of the all-but heretic, John Wycliffe). Lancaster was first married to Blanche of Lancaster, who brought him the duchy of Lancaster as dowry, and who gave him his only legitimate son, Henry (Hal) Bolingbroke. After Blanche died during a renewed epidemic of the bubonic plague, Lancaster married Constance of Castile - Constance brought him the titular office of King of Castile. With Constance Lancaster has two daughters, both of whom have married into Spanish nobility. Constance is also dead. Katherine of Swynford has long been Lancaster's mistress. She has given him two children, Henry and Joan Beaufort, on whom Lancaster dotes (as he dotes on their mother). Lancaster has many residences and estates, but his principal residences include the Savoy Palace in London, and the lands and castle of Kenilworth in Warwickshire.

He died 21 Jun 1377 in Sheen Palace, Surrey. married Phillipa of Hainault on 24 Jan 1327/1328 in York, England. Edward III belonged to the Plantagenet Dynasty. Born in 1312, he ascended to the throne in 1327 and died in 1377. He was preceded as monarch by Edward II and was succeeded by Richard II. Gaining the throne in 1327, Edward was dominated during his minority by Mortimer and Isabella, his father's widow. Early in 1328, the king married Philippa of Hainault and two years later executed Mortimer and banished his mother. He then invaded Scotland. Initially successful in placing Edward Balliol at the head of Scotland's government, Edward then saw his king driven from the country and three attempts to restore him failed. In 1346, accompanied by his son, the Black Prince, he conquered much of Normandy and crushed the French at Crecy. In 1355, he renewed his war with France with disastrous results. Despite a brilliant victory by the Black Prince at Poitiers in 1356, Edward subsequently lost most English possessions in France. His final years were miserable. His queen died in 1369, the Black Prince in 1376, and the king in 1377. 5513293. Phillipa of Hainault was born about 1313 in Flanders, Belgium. 5513294. PEDRO III King of Castile. 6815904.

He died 18 Oct 1216 in Newark Castle, Nottinghamshire and was buried in Worcester Cathedral, Worcester. Lackland married Isabella de TAILLERFER on 29 Aug 1189 in Marlborough Castle, Wiltshire. King John reigned from 1199 until 1216. His first wife was Isabella, daughter of William, Earl of Gloucester. His second wife and the ancester of all in this book, was Isabella, daughter of Aymer Taillefer, Count of Angouleme. John was born on Christmas Eve in 1167. His parents drifted apart after his birth; his youth was divided between his eldest brother Henry's house, where he learned the art of knighthood and the house of his father's justiciar, Ranulf Glanvil, where he learned the business of government. As the fourth child, inherited lands were not available to him, giving rise to his nickname, Lackland. His first marraige lasted only ten years and was fruitless, but his second wife bore him two sons and three daughters. He also had an illegitimate daughter, Joan, who married Llywelyn the Great, Ruler of all Wales, from which the Tudor line of monarchs was descended. The survival of the English government during John's reign is a testament to the reforms of his father, as John taxed the system socially, economically, and judicially. The Angevin family feuds profoundly marked John. He and Richard clashed in 1184 following Richard's refusal to honor his father's wishes to surrender Aquitane to John. The following year Henry II sent John to rule Ireland, but John alienated both the native Irish and the transplanted Anglo-normans who emigrated to carve out new lordships for themselves; the experiment was a total failure and John returned home within six months. After Richard gained the Throne in 1189, he gave John vast estates in an unsuccessful attempt to appease his younger brouther. John failed to overthrow Richard's administrators during the German captivity and conspired with Philip II in another failed coup attempt. Upon Richard's release from captivity in 1194, John was forced to sue for pardon and he spent the next five years in his brother's shadow. John's reign was troubled in many respects. A quarrel with the Church resulted in England being placed undr an interdict in 1207, with John actually excommunicated two years later. The dispute centered on John's stubborn refusal to install the papal candidate, Stephen Langdon, as Archbishop of Canterbury; the issue was not resolved until John surrendered to the wishes of Pope Innocent III and paid tribute for England as the Pope's vassal. John proved extremely unpopular with his subjects. In addition to the Irish debaucle, he inflamed his French vassals by orchestrating the murder of his popular nephew, Arthur of Brittany. By spring 1205, he lost the last of his French possessions and returned to England. The final ten years of his reign were occupied with failed attempts to regain these territories. After levying a number of new taxes upon the barons to pay for his dismal campaigns, the discontented barons revolted, capturing London in May 1215. At Runnymeade in the following June, John succumbed to pressure from the barons, the Church, and the English people at-large, and signed the Magna Carta. The document, a declaration of feudal rights, stressed three points. First, the Church was free to make ecclesiastic appointments. Second, larger-than-normal amounts of money could only be collected with the consent of the king's feudal tenants. Third, no freeman was to be punished except within the context of common law. Magna Carta, although a testament to John's complete failure as monarch, was the forrunner of modern constitutions. john only signed the document as a means of buying time and his hesitance to implement its principles compelled the nobility to seek French assistance. The barons offered the throne to Philip II's son, Louis. John died in the midst of invasion from the French in the South and rebellion from his barons in the North. John was remembered in elegant fashion by Sir Richard Baker in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: "...his works of piety were very many...as for his actions, he neither came to the crown by justice, nor held it with any honour, nor left it with peace." 6815931.

EDWARD II King of England was born 25 Apr 1284 in Caernarvon Castle, Wales. He died 21 Sep 1327 in Berkeley Castle, Goustershire, England. married Isabella of France. Edward II belonged to the Plantagenet Dynasty. Born in 1284, he ascended to the throne in 1307 and died in 1327. He was preceded as monarch by Edward I and was succeeded by Edward III. Edward was born at Carnarvon, the son of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile. Succeeding to the throne in 1307, he was under the influence of others from the start. A Gascon knight named Piers Gaveston was the first favorite, but he was defeated and executed by the barons, led by the king's uncle Thomas of Lancaster. Until 1322, Lancaster wielded real power, but in that year he defeated the barons at Boroughbridge and executed Lancaster. The Parliament of York reestablished the authority of the king. His queen Isabella made common cause with the exiled nobles, and having secured possession of the young Prince Edward, landed on the coast of Suffolk on Sept 24, 1326. The king fled but was captured, forced to resign the crown, and murdered. 11026585. Isabella of France was born 1292 in Paris, France. She died 22 Aug 1358 in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England and was buried in Gray Friar's Church, London, England. Isabella plotted the death of Edward, and had him murdered September 21, 1327 at Berkeley Castle, Gloucester, by having a red-hot spit thrust through his bowels. Roger Mortimer was the 1st Earl of March. He opposed Edward II and the Despencers in the wars of 1321-22. He escaped to France where Queen Isabella, Edward's official Queen Consort, became his mistress. They invaded England and forced Edward II to abdicate January 25,1327, in favour of Edward's son, Edward III. Isabella and Mortimer shared the Regency until they were overthrown. Mortimer and his gang were overthrown in 1330 by Edward III, and Mortimer himself was executed. Isabella was forced into "honourable retirement" from public life; she died August 22, 1358. Her tomb was lost during the Reformation. - Alison Weir, BRITAIN'S ROYAL FAMILIES 13631858. Sir Knight William de WARREN was born 1260 in Sussex, England.

He died 6 Jul 1189 in Chinon Castle, Anjou and was buried in Fontevrault Abbey, Anjou. "Plantagenet" married Eleanore Princess of Aquitane on 18 May 1152 in Bordeaux Cathedral, Gascony. Henry II ruled England from 1152 until 1189. He married Eleanor, the daughter of William X, Duke of Aquitane. Eleanor had formerly been the wife of Louis VII, King of France, however that marraige ended in divorce. Henry II, first of the Angevin kings, was one of the most effective of all England's monarchs. he came to the throne amid the anarchy of Stephen's reign and promptly collared his errant barons. He refined Norman government and created a capable, self standing bureacracy. his energy was equaled only by his ambition and intelligence. Henry survived wars, rebellion, and controversy to successfully rule one of the middle ages' most powerful kingdoms. Henry was raised in the French province of Anjou and first visited England in 1142 to defend his mother's claim to the disputed throne of Stephen. His continental possessions were already vast before his coronation; He acquired Normandy and Anjou upon the death of his father in September 1151, and his French holdings more than doubled with his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitane. In accordance with the Treaty of Wallingford, a succession agreement signed by Stephen and Matilda in 1153, Henry was crowned in October 1154. The continental empire ruled by Henry and his sons included the French counties of Brittany, Maine, Poitou, Touraine, Gascony, Anjou, Aquitane, and Normandy. Henry was technically a feudal vassal of the king of France but, in reality, owned more territory and was more powerful than his French lord. Although King John (Henry's son) lost most of the English holding in France, English kings laid claim to the French throne until the 15th century. Henry also extended his territory in the British Isles in two significant ways. First, he retrieved Cumbria and Northumbria from Malcom IV of Scotland and settled the Anglo-Scot border in the North. Secondly, although his success with Welsh campaigns was limited, Henry invaded Ireland and secured an English presence on the island. English and Norman barons in Stephen's reign manipulated feudal law to undermine royal authority; Henry instituted many reforms to weaken traditional feudal ties and strengthen his position. Unauthorized castles built during the previous reign were razed. Monetary payments replaced military service as the primary duty of vassals. The Exchequer was revitalized to enforce accurate record keeping and tax collection. Incompetent sheriffs were replaced and the authority of royal courts was expanded. henry empowered a new social class of government clerks that stabalized procedure-the government could operate effectively in the king's absence and would subsequently prove sufficiently tenacious to survive the reign of incompetent kings. Henry's reforms allowed the emergence of common law to replace the disparate customs of feudal and county courts. Jury trials were initiated to end the old Germanic trials by ordeal or battle. henry's systematic approach to law provided a common basis for development of royal institutions throughout the entire realm. The process of strengthening the royal courts, however, yielded an unexpected controversy. The church courts instituded by William the Conquerer became a safe haven for criminals of varying degree and ability, for one in fifty of the English population qualified as clerics. Henry wished to transfer sentencing in such cases to the royal cours, as church courts merely demoted clerics to laymen. Thomas Beckett, Henry's close friend and chancellor since 1155, was named Archbishop of Canterbury in June 1162 but distanced himself from henry and vehemently opposed the weakening of church couts. Beckett fled England in 1164, but through the intervention of Pope Adrian IV (the lone English Pope), returned in 1170. he greatly angered Henry by opposing the coronation of Prince Henry. Exasperated, henry hastily and publicly conveyed his desire to be rid of the contentious Archbishop - four ambitious knights took the king at his word and murdered Beckett in his own cathedral on December 29, 1170. Henry endured a rather limited storm of protest over the incident and the controversy passed. Henry's plans of dividing his myriad lands and titles evoked treachery from his sons. At the encouragement, and sometimes because of the treatment, of their mother, they rebelled against their father several times, often with Louis VII of France as their accomplice. The deaths of Henry the Young King in 1183 and Geoffrey in 1186 gave no respite from his children's rebellious nature; Richard, with the assistance of Philip II, Augustus of France, attacked and defeated Henry on July 4, 1189 and forced him to accept a humiliating peace. henry II died two days later, on July 6, 1189. A few quotes from historic manuscripts shed a unique light on Henry, Eleanor, and their sons. From Sir Winston Churchill, Knight, 1675:"Henry II Plantegenet, the very first of that name and race, and the very greatest King that England ever knew, but withal the most unfortunate...his death being imputed to those only to whom himself had given life, his ungracious sons..." From Sir Richard Baker, A Chronicle of the Kings of England: "Concerning endowments of mind, he was of a spirit in the highest degree generous...His custom was to be always in action; for which cause, if he had no real wars, he would have feigned...To his children he was both indulgent and hard; for out of indulgence he caused his son Henry to be crowned King in his own time; and out of hardness he caused his younger sons to rebel against him...He married Eleanor, daughter of William Duke of Guienne, late wife of Lewis the Seventh of France. Some say King Lewis carried her into the Holy Land, where she carried herself not very holily, but led a licentious life; and, which is the worst kind of licentiousness, in carnal familiarty with a Turk." 13631861.

He died 7 Jul 1307 in Burgh on Sands, Cumberland and was buried in Westminster Abbey, Middlesex. Longshanks married Eleanor Princess of Castile and Leon on 1 Oct 1254 in Las Huelges, Castile. Edward I, who ruled England from 1272 to 1307, first married Eleanor, daughter of Ferdinand II, King of Castile and Leon; then Margaret, daughter of Philip III, King of France. The lineage of our family comes from his marraige with Eleanor. Edward I, nicknamed "Longshanks" due to his great height and stature (he was about 6'2") was perhaps the most successvul of the medieval monarchs. The first twenty years of his reign marked a high point of cooperation between crown and community. In these years, Edward made great strides in reforming government, consolidating territory, and defining foreign policy. He possessed the strength his father lacked and reasserted royal perogative. Edward fathered many children as wel: sixteen by Eleanore of Castille before her death in 1290, and three more by Margaret. Edward held to the concept of community, and although at times unscrupulously aggressive, ruled with the general welfare of his subjects in mind. He perceived the crown as judge of the proper course of action for the realm and its chief legislator; royal authority was granted by law and should be fully utilized for the public good, but that same law also granted protection to the king's subjects. A king should rule with the advice and consent of those whose rights were in question. The level of interaction between king and subject allowed Edward considerable leeway in achieving his goals. A case can be made that Edward I was the greatest English king of the middle ages. A strong ruler, he was a man blessed with a strong sense of duty. Although he was no democrat, he believed the king should promote the general welfare and place himself above class or faction -- a revolutionary concept in the 13th century. Although he has been called "the English Jusinian" because of his legal codes, Edward was first and formost a military man, one of the great generals of the medieval world. Edward was born in June 1239, the son of King Hinry III. Weak and indecisive, Henry was not a bad man, just a bad king. he was devoted to his family and took great pleasure in art and architecture. One of his pet projects was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey in the Gothic style that was just coming into vogue. Unfortunately, Henry's private virtues became public vices. Because of his devotion to his wife, he gave the queen's undeserving foreign relatives places at court. Worse still, Henry's building projects were a drain on the exchequer, and his excessive piety made him a dupe of the papacy. That mix of piety, politics, and penury--he was always short of funds--bore bitter fruit. Simon de Montfort, leader of the baronial opposition, led an open revolt that defeated the king at the Battle of Lewes in 1264. Lewes gave Prince Edward his first real taste of combat. As a headstrong young blade of 25, he took exception to the London troops of Montfort's army, sincerely believing they had insulted his mother. When the battle opened on May 14, Edward led a cavalry charge that scattered the London burghers like dead leaves in a windstorm. Intoxicated by the chase, he began a single-minded pursuit of his fleeing quarry that took him miles from the battlefield. Once his thirst for vengeance was appeased, Edward returned to Lewes--only to find that Montfort had defeated his father's main army. Assailed from both flanks by Montfort's knights, the dumbfounded prince was forced to surrender. But a great lesson had been learned--from then on, with few exceptions, his intellect would govern his passions. Eventually Edward escaped, joined forces with Roger Mortimer, Earl of Gloucester, and together they defeated Simon de Montfort at Evesham on August 4, 1265. By then, Edward was King in all but name, since his father was growing old and was as self-absorbed as ever. Fired with chivalric zeal and a surfeit of youthful energy, Prince Edward "took the cross"--that is, declared himself a crusader pledged to free the Holy Land from the grip of the Muslim "infidels". In 1271, Edward reached the Middle East with a small army of 1000 men and amazed everyone by chalking up a series of victories over the Muslim forces of the Mamluk Sultan Baybars Bundukdari of Egypt. The prince captured Nazareth, scoring a moral victory by liberating the hometown of Jesus Christ, but his forces were too small to consolidate his gains. Once, when Edward was resting in his tent, a Muslim assassin broke in and attacked him with a poisoned knife. The prince quickly killed his assailant but was wounded in the arm. Soon the limb swelled, and the foul-smelling flesh grew black. Gangrene had set in. Handicapped by the lack of medical knowledge at the time, the doctors were baffled and lost hope. But one brave physician cut away the blackened tissue and hoped for the best. By some miracle, Edward survived. The next year, 1272, a truce was arranged between Baybars and the Crusaders, enabling Edward to go home at last. While enroute to England, he received word that his father was dead and he was now king in his own right. On August 2, 1274, the new king landed at Dover anter an absence of four years. Crowds gave a tumultous welcome to their new monarch, who, at 6 feet 2 inches, towered over contemporaries. he was handsome, but his piercing blue eyes were slightly offset by a drooping left eyelid. Like most of his Plantagenet dynasty, Edward had a volcanic temper that sometimes erupted into murderous rages. Generally, though, he was too intelligent to let his anger get the best of him. A few years after his accession to the throne, Edward was forced to deal with Wales, the mountainous land to the west of England. Politically, Wales was a confusing mosaic of divided loyalties. In the south and central portions of the country, Anglo-Norman barons, called Marcher Lords, managed to subdue and pacify the Welsh tribesmen, but in the north the situation was different. There, a line of Gwynedd prices high in the mountains of Snowdonia refused to submit to the English yoke. One Welsh ruler, Llewellyn-ap-Graffyd, declared himself prince of Wales and set about expanding his domain at the expense of the Marcher lords. Initially Edward had little interest in Wales, and he might have accepted Llewellyn's independence if the latter had rendered lip service to his fudal obligations to the English crown. But Llewellyn's arrogance seemed to grow with his power, and he refused to render homage to Edward. Thoroughly aroused, the king was determined to bring his rebellious vassel to heel. In July 1277, in the town of Worcester, Edward gathered one of the biggest armies ever seen in Britain. The feudal levy summoned 1,000 armored knights, while a number of English shires--Cheshire, Derbyshire, Shropshire, and others--supplied about 15,000 foot soldiers, including many Welshmen and Gascon crossbowmen. The northern Welsh under Llewellyn were not prepared to meet Edward on his own terms so they melted back into the misty valleys and snow-dappled peaks of their own mountainous homeland. Natural guerrillas, they lived off the land when fighting and generally preferred ambushes to pitched battles. The men of southern Wales generally had spears, but the northern tribes possessed a formidable new weapon called the longbow. On chronicler described it as "made of wild elm, unpolished, rude and uncouth," but in the hands of a trained archer it was a formidable weapon, hitting targets with such force that a longbow shaft could pierce chain mail and pin a man to his horse. Edward advanced along the north Welsh coast, marching slowly up the valleys of the Severn and the Dee. Leaving a chain of rising fortresses in his wake, Edward continued on until he reached the mouth of the Conway river. There the king unveiled his trump card--sea power. Just off the coast, on the island of Anglesey, was some of the most fertile soil in Wales, the breadbasket of Llewellyn's tribes. Thanks to ships provided by Edward's Cinque Ports, Anglesey was quickly taken. Ringed by hostile troops and threatened by starvation, Llewellyn sued for peace. After a few year's respite, however, Llewellyn's brother David raised the standard of revolt. The 1282 rebellion ws a replay of the 1277 campaign, but this time Llewellyn was killed in a chance encounter, and his head was sent to adorn London Bridge. David was captured, executed, and the rebellion he had launched collapsed. Edward decided that only more castles could help sink English roots and stabilize the shifting political soil of Wales. Luckily for the king, his reign coincided with the great age of medieval military architecture, and he found a builder of genius in Master James of St. George. Master James' fertile imagination produced a series of elaborate designs, each adapted to the particular needs of an individual site. Even today, Conway, Harlech, Rhuddlan, Beaumaris and Caernarvon castles give an overwhelming impression of strength and majesty. Wales was pacified, at least for the moment, so Edward turned his attention to Scotland. The Scottish throne was empty, and there were no less than 13 claimants for it. To solve the impasse, the claimants asked Edward to be arbiter and choose a candidate among their number. The English king should have known better; the Scottish succession was a morass of claims and counterclaims. After fevered consultations with barons, lawyers and churchmen, Edward chose John Bailol as king of the Scots. Bailol was a weakling, but the fractious Scottish nobles stiffened his backbone enough to defy Edward. Once again, Edward could brook no disobedience from a man he considered his feudal underling. The English monarch invaded Scotland with a large army, and in March 1296, he proceeded to besiege the important Scottish town of Berwick. Feeling overconfident, the citizens of Berwick shouted insults at Edward, in particular making fun of his "long shanks". Mounted on his great warhorse, Bayard, Edward personally led the assault on Berwick. Hooves flailing, Bayard leapt across a ditch, bounded over a low palisade, and brought his royal master into the very heart of the city. Soon English troops poured into the narrow streets and fighting gave way to a general massacre of the inhabitants. In short order Bailol was deposed, and Edward ruled the northern kingdom through a series of military garrisons. But Edward's brutal conquest had unleashed a sort of early nationalistic spirit among the Scots. A Scottish knight, William Wallace, gathered an army and managed to defeat an English force at Stirling Bridge on September 11, 1297. With his prestige on line, Edward--though he was nowgrowing old--took to the field once again and invaded Scotland. On July 22, 1298, the English and Scottish armies met at Falkirk. The backbone of Wallace's forces was his infantry, drawn up in four phalanz-xtyle formations called schiltrons. Bristling with spears, the schiltrons seemed invulnerable to the kind of cavalry charge favored by medieval knights. And sure enough, before Edward could fully deploy his unwieldy army, his knights rushed forward in a headlong charge. Try as they might, the English knights could make no impression on the prickly Scottish formations, and round one went to the stubborn Celts. But Edward had a surprise waiting in the wings--swarms of Welsh archers, who came forward in large numbers to discharge their deadly shafts. The schiltrons were quickly reduced to heaps of dead and wounded men, and the remaining Scottish infantry became easy prey for Edward's cavalry. Only Wallace and a handful of fugitives escaped the terrible slaughter, and the back of Scottish resistance seemed broken forever. At Falkirk, Edward Long Shanks acquired a new nickname; Scottorum malleus (Hammer of the Scots). The battle validated his reputation as a general and showcased his tactical skills. His adoption of the Welsh longbow forshadowed the English triumphs at crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. Eventually, Wallace was captured and hanged, drawn, and quartered, but his grisly fate left the Scots uncowed. Time and again, Edward had to return to Scotland in an attempt to crush the embers of revolt. Yet every time he returned home, the flame of Scots nationalism would blaze anew. A new Scottish champion, Robert the Bruce, declared himself king of Scotland and girded himself for another English invasion. It was not long in coming. Edward, white haired and ailing, must have felt he was an English Sisyphus, condemned to roll the rock of conquest forward again and again. At age 69, something akin to 90 by the standards of the middle ages, the king had little reason to find happiness in his waning years. his son and heir, Prince Edward of Caernarvon, was a homosexual and a worthless spendthrift, more interested in fine clothes than the arts of war. King Edward moved forward toward Scotland, but his battle scarred and aging body could not obey the commands of his iron will. He died on July 6, 1307, a short distance from the Scottish border at Burgh-on-Sands. later, Edward II would return to Scotland in force only to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, on June 23, 1314, by which Scotland won it's independence from England. Although he was not the equal of a Caesar of Napoleon, Edward I was still a great commander who grasped the essentials of war. Even his enemies recognized his military greatness. Comparing Edward I to his son Edward II, Robert the Bruce once declared; "I am more afraid of the bones of the father dead, than of the living son, and by all the saints, it was more difficult to get a half a foot of the land from the old king than a whole kingdom from the son". Not only was Edward a good warrior, he was a good political leader as well. He added to the bureaucracy initiated by Henry II to increase his effectiveness as sovereign. He expanded the administration into four principal parts: the Chancery, the Exchequer, the Household, and the Council. The Chancery researched and created legal documents while the Exchequer received and issued money, scrutinized the accounts of local officials, and kept financial records. These two departments operated within the king's authority but independently from his personal rule, prompting Edward to follow the practice of earlier kings in developing the Household, a mobile court of clerks and advisors that traveled with the king. The King's council was the most vital segment of the four. It consisted of his principal ministers, trusted judges and clerks, a select group of magnates, and also followed the king. The Council dealt with matters of great importance to the realm and acted as a court for cases of national importance. Edward's forays into the refinement of law and Justice had important consequences in decreasing feudal practice. The statute of Gloucester (1278) curbed expansion of large private holdings and established the principle that all private franchises were delegated by, and subordinate to, the crown. Royal jurisdiction became supreme: the Exchequer developed a court to hear financial disputes, ther Court of Common Pleas arose to hear property disputes, and the Court of Kings Bench addressed criminal cases in which the king had a vested interest. Other statutes prohibited vassals from giving their lands to the church encouraged primogeniture, and established the king as the sole person who could make a man his feudal vassal. In essence, Edward set the stage for land to become an article of commerce. 13631979. Eleanor Princess of Castile and Leon. 25. Generation 22053170.

He married MATILDA Empress of Germany (1141). Geoffrey was the one who brought the Plantegenet name to England where it would reign through many kings. 27263721. MATILDA Empress of Germany (1141) was born 1101 in Royal Palace, Sutton, Courtenay (Berkshire). She died 10 Sep 1169 in Rouen and was buried in Fontefrault Abbey. Empress Matilda ruled in 1141. Matilda is the Latin form of Maud, and the name of the only surving legitimate child of King Henry I. She was born in 1101, generally it is said at Winchester, but recent research indicates that she was actually born at the Royal Palace in Sutton Courtenay (Berkshire). In somewhat of a political coup for her father, Matilda was betrothed to the German Emperor, Henry V, when she was only eight years old. They were married on January 7, 1114. She was twelve and he was thirty two. Unfortunately ther were no children an on the Emperor's death in 1125, Matilda was recalled to her father's court. Matilda's only legitimate brother had been killed in the disastrous Wreck of the White Ship in late 1120 and she was now her father's only hope for the continuation of his dynasty. The barons swore allegiance to the young Princess and promised to make her queen after her father's death. She herself needed heirs though and in April 1127, Matilda found herself obliged to marry Prince Geoffrey of Anjou and Maine (the future Geoffrey V, Count of those regions). He was thirteen, she was twenty-three. It is thought that the two never got on. However, despite this unhappy situation they had three sons in four years. Being absent in Anjou at the time of her father's death on December 1, 1135, possibly due to pregnancy, Matilda was not in much of a position to take up the throne which had been promised her and she quickly lost out to her fast moving cousin, Stephen. With her husband, she attempted to take Normandy. With encouragement from supporters in England though, it was not long before Matilda invaded her rightful English domain and so began a long-standing Civil War from the powerbase of her half-brother, Robert of Gloucester, in the West Country. After three years of armed struggle, she at last gained the upper hand at the Battle of Lincoln, in February 1141, where King Stephen was captured. However, despite being declared Queen or "Lady of the English" at Winchester and winning over Stephen's brother, Henry of Blois, ther powerful Bishop of Winchester, Mailda alienated the citizens of London with her arrogant manner. She failed to secure her coronation and the Londoners joined a renewed push from Stephen's Queen an laid siege to the Empress in Winchester. She managed to escape to the West, but while commanding her rear guard, her brother was captured by the enemy. Matilda was obliged to swap Stephen for Robert on November 1, 1141. Thus the King soon reemposed his Royal authority. In ll48, after the death of her half-brother, Matilda finally returned to Normandy, leaving her son, who, in 1154, would become Henry II, to fight on in England. She died at Rouen on September 10, 1169 and was buried in Fontevrault Abbey, though some of her entrails may possibly have been later interred in her father's foundation at Reading Abbey. 27263722.

He died 16 Nov 1272 in Palace of Westminster and was buried in Westminster Abbey, Middlesex. married Eleanor Berenger Countess of Provence on 14 Jan 1236 in Canterbury Cathedral, Kent. Henry III ruled England from 1216 until 1272. He married Eleanor, daughter of Raymond Berenger, Count of Provence. Henry was the first monarch to be crowned in his minority, inherited the throne at the age of nine. His reign began immersed in the rebellion created by his father, King John. London and most of the southeast were in the hands of the French Dauphin Louis and the northern regions were under the control of the rebellious barons - only the midlands and southwest were loyal to the boy king. The barons, however, rallied under Henry's first regent, William the Marshall, and expelled the French Dauphin in 1217. William the Marshall governed until his death in 1219; Hugh de Burgh, the last of the justiciars to rule with the power of a king, governed until Henry came to the throne in earnest at age twenty five. A variety of factors coelesced in Henry's reign to plant the first seeds of English nationalism. Throughout his minority, the barons held firm to the ideal of written restrictions on royal authority and reissued Magna Carta several times. The nobility wished to bind the king to the same feudal laws under which they were held. The emerging class of free men also demanded the same protection from the king's excessive control. Barons, nobility, and free men began viewing England as a community rather than a mere aggregation of independent manors, villages, and outlying principalities. In addition to the restrictions outlined in Magna Carta, ther barons asked to be consulted in matters of state and called together as a Great Council. Viewing themselves as the natural counselors of the king, they sought control over the machinery of government, particulaarly in the appointment of chief government positions. Ehe Exchequer and the Chancery were separated from the rest of the government to decrease the king's chances of ruling irresponsibly. Nationalism, such as it was at this early time, manifested in the form of opposition to Henry's actions. he infuriated the barons by granting favors and appointments to foreigners rather than the English nobility. Peter des Roches, the Bishop of Winchester and Henry's prime educator, introduced a number of Frenchmen from Poitou into the government; many Italians entered into English society through Henry's close ties to the papacy. His reign coincided with an expansion of papal power (the church became, in effect, a massive European monarchy) and the church became as creative as it was excessive in extorting money from England. England was expected to assume a large portion of financing the myriad officials employed throughout Christendom as well as providing employment and parishes for Italians living abroad. Henry's acquiescence to the demands of Rome initiated a backlash of protest from his subjects; laymen were denied opportunity to be nominated for vacant ecclesiastical offices and clergymen lost any chance of advancement. Matters came to a head in 1258. Henry levied extortionate taxes to pay for debts incurred through war with Wales, failed campaignes in France, and an extensive program of ecclesiastical building. Inept diplomacy and military defeat led Henry to sell his hereditary claims to all the Angevin possessions in France except Gascony. When he assumed the considerable debts of the papacy in its fruitless war with Sicily, his barons demanded sweeping reforms and the king was in no position to offer resistance. Henry was forced to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, a document placing the barons in virtual control of the realm. A council of fifteen men, comprised of both the king's supporters and detractors, effected a situation whereby Henry could do nothing without the council's knowledge and consent. The magnates handled every level of government with great unity initially but gradually succombed to petty bickering; the Provisions of Oxford remainde in force for only a few years. henry reasserted his authority and denied the Provisions, resulting in the outbreak of civil war in 1264. Edward, Henry's eldest son, led the king's forces with the opposition commanded by Simon de Montfort, Henry's brother-in-law. At the battle of Lewes, in Sussex, de Montfort defeated Edward and captured both King and son -- and found himself in control of the government. Simon de Montfort held absolute power after subduing Henry but was a champion of reform. The nobility supported him because of his royal ties and belief in the Provisions of Oxford. De Montfort, with two close associates, selected a council of nine (whose function was similar to the earlier council of fifteen) and ruled in the king's name. De Montfort recognized the need to gain the backing of smaller landowners and prosperous townsfolk; in 1264, he summoned knights from each shire in addition to the normal high churchmen and nobility to and early pre-parliament, and in 1265 invited bergesses from selected towns. Although Parliament as an institution was yet to be formalized, the latter session was a precursor to both the elements of Parliament; the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Later in 1265, de Montfort lost the support of one of the most powerful barons, the Earl of Gloucester, and Edward also managed to escape. The two gathered an army and defeated de Montfort at the Battle of Evasham, Worcestershire. De Montfort was slain and Henry was released; Henry resumed control of the throne but, for the remainder of his reign, Edward exercised the real power of the throne in his father's stead. The old king, after a long reign of fifty six years, died in 1272. Although a failure as a politician and soldier, his reign was significant for defining the English monarchical position until the end of the fifteenth century; kingship limited by law. 27263957. Eleanor Berenger Countess of Provence was born about 1217. 27263958. FERDINAND III King of Castile and Leon married Jeanne de DAMMARTIN. St. Ferdinand III King of Leon and Castile, member of the Third Order of St. Francis, born in 1198 near Salamanca; died at Seville, 30 May, 1252. He was the son of Alfonso IX, King of Leon, and of Berengeria, the daughter of Alfonso III, King of Castile, and sister of Blanche, the mother of St. Louis IX. In 1217 Ferdinand became King of Castile, which crown his mother renounced in his favour, and in 1230 he succeeded to the crown of Leon, though not without civil strife, since many were opposed to the union of the two kingdoms. He took as his counsellors the wisest men in the State, saw to the strict administration of justice, and took the greatest care not to overburden his subjects with taxation, fearing, as he said, the curse of one poor woman more than a whole army of Saracens. Following his mother's advice, Ferdinand, in 1219, married Beatrice, the daughter of Philip of Swabia, King of Germany, one of the most virtuous princesses of her time. God blessed this union with seven children: six princes and one princess. The highest aims of Ferdinand's life were the propagation of the Faith and the liberation of Spain from the Saracen yoke. Hence his continual wars against the Saracens. He took from them vast territories, Granada and Alicante alone remaining in their power at the time of his death. In the most important towns he founded bishoprics, reestablished Catholic worship everywhere, built churches, founded monasteries, and endowed hospitals. The greatest joys of his life were the conquests of Cordova (1236) and Seville (1248). He turned the great mosques of these places into cathedrals, dedicating them to the Blessed Virgin. He watched over the conduct of his soldiers, confiding more in their virtue than in their valour, fasted strictly himself, wore a rough hairshirt, and often spent his nights in prayer, especially before battles. Amid the tumult of the camp he lived like a religious in the cloister. The glory of the Church and the happiness of his people were the two guiding motives of his life. He founded the University of Salamanca, the Athens of Spain. Ferdinand was buried in the great cathedral of Seville before the image of the Blessed Virgin, clothed, at his own request, in the habit of the Third Order of St. Francis. His body, it is said, remains incorrupt. Many miracles took place at his tomb, and Clement X canonized him in 1671. His feast is kept by the Minorites on the 30th of May. 27263959.

King of France, son of Louis VIII and Blanche of Castile, born at Poissy, 25 April, 1215; died near Tunis, 25 August, 1270. He was eleven years of age when the death of Louis VIII made him king, and nineteen when he married Marguerite of Provence by whom he had eleven children. The regency of Blanche of Castile (1226-1234) was marked by the victorious struggle of the Crown against Raymond VII in Languedoc, against Pierre Mauclerc in Brittany, against Philip Hurepel in the Ile de France, and by indecisive combats against Henry III of England. In this period of disturbances the queen was powerfully supported by the legate Frangipani. Accredited to Louis VIII by Honorius III as early as 1225, Frangipani won over to the French cause the sympathies of Gregory IX, who was inclined to listen to Henry III, and through his intervention it was decreed that all the chapters of the dioceses should pay to Blanche of Castile tithes for the southern crusade. It was the legate who received the submission of Raymond VII, Count of Languedoc, at Paris, in front of Notre-Dame, and this submission put an end to the Albigensian war and prepared the union of the southern provinces to France by the Treaty of Paris (April 1229). The influence of Blanche de Castile over the government extended far beyond St. Louis's minority. Even later, in public business and when ambassadors were officially received, she appeared at his side. She died in 1253. In the first years of the king's personal government, the Crown had to combat a fresh rebellion against feudalism, led by the Count de la Marche, in league with Henry III. St. Louis's victory over this coalition at Taillebourg, 1242, was followed by the Peace of Bordeaux which annexed to the French realm a part of Saintonge. It was one of St. Louis's chief characteristics to carry on abreast his administration as national sovereign and the performance of his duties towards Christendom; and taking advantage of the respite which the Peace of Bordeaux afforded, he turned his thoughts towards a crusade. Stricken down with a fierce malady in 1244, he resolved to take the cross when news came that Turcomans had defeated the Christians and the Moslems and invaded Jerusalem. (On the two crusades of St. Louis [1248-1249 and 1270] see CRUSADES.) Between the two crusades he opened negotiations with Henry III, which he thought would prevent new conflicts between France and England. The Treaty of Paris (28 May, 1258) which St. Louis concluded with the King of England after five years' parley, has been very much discussed. By this treaty St. Louis gave Henry III all the fiefs and domains belonging to the King of France in the Dioceses of Limoges, Cahors, and Périgueux; and in the event of Alphonsus of Poitiers dying without issue, Saintonge and Agenais would escheat to Henry III. On the other hand Henry III renounced his claims to Normandy, Anjou, Touraine, Maine, Poitou, and promised to do homage for the Duchy of Guyenne. It was generally considered and Joinville voiced the opinion of the people, that St. Louis made too many territorial concessions to Henry III; and many historians held that if, on the contrary, St. Louis had carried the war against Henry III further, the Hundred Years War would have been averted. But St. Louis considered that by making the Duchy of Guyenne a fief of the Crown of France he was gaining a moral advantage; and it is an undoubted fact that the Treaty of Paris, was as displeasing to the English as it was to the French. In 1263, St. Louis was chosen as arbitrator in a difference which separated Henry III and the English barons: by the Dit d'Amiens (24 January, 1264) he declared himself for Henry III against the barons, and annulled the Provisions of Oxford, by which the barons had attempted to restrict the authority of the king. It was also in the period between the two crusades that St. Louis, by the Treaty of Corbeil, imposed upon the King of Aragon the abandonment of his claims to all the fiefs in Languedoc excepting Montpellier, and the surrender of his rights to Provence (11 May, 1258). Treaties and arbitrations prove St. Louis to have been above all a lover of peace, a king who desired not only to put an end to conflicts, but also to remove the causes for fresh wars, and this spirit of peace rested upon the Christian conception. St. Louis's relations with the Church of France and the papal Court have excited widely divergent interpretations and opinions. However, all historians agree that St. Louis and the successive popes united to protect the clergy of France from the encroachments or molestations of the barons and royal officers. It is equally recognized that during the absence of St. Louis at the crusade, Blanche of Castile protected the clergy in 1251 from the plunder and ill- treatment of a mysterious old maurauder called the "Hungarian Master" who was followed by a mob of armed men -- called the "Pastoureaux." The "Hungarian Master" who was said to be in league with the Moslems died in an engagement near Villaneuve and the entire band pursued in every direction was dispersed and annihilated. But did St. Louis take measures also to defend the independence of the clergy against the papacy? A number of historians once claimed he did. They attributed to St. Louis a certain "pragmatic sanction" of March 1269, prohibiting irregular collations of ecclesiastical benefices, prohibiting simony, and interdicting the tributes which the papal Court received from the French clergy. The Gallicans of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries often made use of this measure against the Holy See; the truth is that it was a forgery fabricated in the fourteenth century by juris-consults desirous of giving to the Pragmatic Sanction of Charles VII a precedent worthy of respect. This so-called pragmatic of Louis IX is presented as a royal decree for the reformation of the Church; never would St. Louis thus have taken upon himself the right to proceed authoritatively with this reformation. When in 1246, a great number of barons from the north and the west leagued against the clergy whom they accused of amassing too great wealth and of encroaching upon their rights, Innocent IV called upon Louis to dissolve this league; how the king acted in the matter is not definitely known. On 2 May, 1247, when the Bishops of Soissons and of Troyes, the archdeacon of Tours, and the provost of the cathedral of Rouen, despatched to the pope a remonstrance against his taxations, his preferment of Italians in the distribution of benefices, against the conflicts between papal jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of the ordinaries, Marshal Ferri Pasté seconded their complaints in the name of St. Louis. Shortly after, these complaints were reiterated and detailed in a lengthy memorandum, the text of which has been preserved by Mathieu Paris, the historian. It is not known whether St. Louis affixed his signature to it, but in any case, this document was simply a request asking for the suppression of the abuses, with no pretensions to laying down principles of public right, as was claimed by the Pragmatic Sanction. Documents prove that St. Louis did not lend an ear to the grievances of his clergy against the emissaries of Urban IV and Clement IV; he even allowed Clement IV to generalize a custom in 1265 according to which the benefices the titularies of which died while sojourning in Rome, should be disposed of by the pope. Docile to the decrees of the Lateran Council (1215), according to which kings were not to tax the churches of their realm without authority from the pope, St. Louis claimed and obtained from successive popes, in view of the crusade, the right to levy quite heavy taxes from the clergy. It is again this fundamental idea of the crusade, ever present in St. Louis's thoughts that prompted his attitude generally in the struggle between the empire and the pope. While the Emperor Frederick II and the successive popes sought and contended for France's support, St. Louis's attitude was at once decided and reserved. On the one hand he did not accept for his brother Robert of Artois, the imperial crown offered him by Gregory IX in 1240. In his correspondence with Frederick he continued to treat him as a sovereign, even after Frederick had been excommunicated and declared dispossessed of his realms by Innocent IV at the Council of Lyons, 17 July, 1245. But on the other hand, in 1251, the king compelled Frederick to release the French archbishops taken prisoners by the Pisans, the emperor's auxiliaries, when on their way in a Genoese fleet to attend a general council at Rome. In 1245, he conferred at length, at Cluny, with Innocent IV who had taken refuge in Lyons in December, 1244, to escape the threats of the emperor, and it was at this meeting that the papal dispensation for the marriage of Charles Anjou, brother of Louis IX, to Beatrix, heiress of Provençe was granted and it was then that Louis IX and Blanche of Castile promised Innocent IV their support. Finally, when in 1247 Frederick II took steps to capture Innocent IV at Lyons, the measures Louis took to defend the pope were one of the reasons which caused the emperor to withdraw. St. Louis looked upon every act of hostility from either power as an obstacle to accomplishing the crusade. In the quarrel over investitures, the king kept on friendly terms with both, not allowing the emperor to harass the pope and never exciting the pope against the emperor. In 1262 when Urban offered St. Louis, the Kingdom of Sicily, a fief of the Apostolic See, for one of his sons, St. Louis refused it, through consideration for the Swabian dynasty then reigning; but when Charles of Anjou accepted Urban IV's offer and went to conquer the Kingdom of Sicily, St. Louis allowed the bravest knights of France to join the expedition which destroyed the power of the Hohenstaufens in Sicily. The king hoped, doubtless, that the possession of Sicily by Charles of Anjou would be advantageous to the crusade. St. Louis led an exemplary life, bearing constantly in mind his mother's words: "I would rather see you dead at my feet than guilty of a mortal sin." His biographers have told us of the long hours he spent in prayer, fasting, and penance, without the knowlege of his subjects. The French king was a great lover of justice. French fancy still pictures him delivering judgements under the oak of Vincennes. It was during his reign that the "court of the king" (curia regis) was organized into a regular court of justice, having competent experts, and judicial commissions acting at regular periods. These commissions were called parlements and the history of the "Dit d'Amiens" proves that entire Christendom willingly looked upon him as an international judiciary. It is an error, however, to represent him as a great legislator; the document known as "Etablissements de St. Louis" was not a code drawn up by order of the king, but merely a collection of customs, written out before 1273 by a jurist who set forth in this book the customs of Orléans, Anjou, and Maine, to which he added a few ordinances of St. Louis. St. Louis was a patron of architecture. The Sainte Chappelle, an architectural gem, was constructed in his reign, and it was under his patronage that Robert of Sorbonne founded the "Collège de la Sorbonne," which became the seat of the theological faculty of Paris. He was renowned for his charity. The peace and blessings of the realm come to us through the poor he would say. Beggars were fed from his table, he ate their leavings, washed their feet, ministered to the wants of the lepers, and daily fed over one hundred poor. He founded many hospitals and houses: the House of the Felles-Dieu for reformed prostitutes; the Quinze-Vingt for 300 blind men (1254), hospitals at Pontoise, Vernon, Compiégne. The Enseignements (written instructions) which he left to his son Philip and to his daughter Isabel, the discourses preserved by the witnesses at judicial investigations preparatory to his canonization and Joinville's anecdotes show St. Louis to have been a man of sound common sense, possessing indefatigable energy, graciously kind and of playful humour, and constantly guarding against the temptation to be imperious. The caricature made of him by the envoy of the Count of Gueldre: "worthless devotee, hypocritical king" was very far from the truth. On the contrary, St. Louis, through his personal qualities as well as his saintliness, increased for many centuries the prestige of the French monarchy (see FRANCE). St. Louis's canonization was proclaimed at Orvieto in 1297, by Boniface VIII. Of the inquiries in view of canonization, carried on from 1273 till 1297, we have only fragmentary reports published by Delaborde ("Mémoires de la société de l'histoire de Paris et de l'Ilea de France," XXIII, 1896) and a series of extracts compiled by Guillaume de St. Pathus, Queen Marguerite's confessor, under the title of "Vie Monseigneur Saint Loys" (Paris, 1899). 88212681.

GuillaumeI "le Conquberant" de Normandie WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR King of England (1066-1087) was born 14 Oct 1024. He died 9 Sep 1087 in Hermentrube, near Rouen, France and was buried in St. Stephens Saltash, Cornwall, England. GuillaumeI married Matilda BALDWIN Countess of Flanders/Queen of England. William the Conquerer ruled England from 1066 until 1087. He was married in Notre Dame Cathedral to Matilda of Flanders. William, the illigitimate son of Robert I, Duke of Normandy, spent his first six years with his mother (Herleva) in Falaise and received the duchy of Normandy upon his father's death in 1035. A council consisting of noblemen and William's appointed guardians ruled Normandy but ducal authority waned under the Normans' violent nature and the province was wracked with assassination and revolt for twelve years. In 1047, William reasserted himself in the eastern Norman regions and, with the help of France's King Henry I, crushed the rebelling barons. He spent the next several years consolidating his strength on the continent through marriage diplomacy, war and savage intimidation. By 1066, Normandy was in a position of virtual independence from William's feudal lord, Henry I of France and the disputed succession in England offered William an opportunity for invasion. He invaded England and defeated, killed his rival Harold at the Battle of Hastings and became King. The Norman conquest of England was completed by 1072, aided by the establishment of feudalism under which his followers were granted land in return for pledges of service and loyalty. As King, William was noted for his efficient, if harsh, rule. His administration relied upon Norman and other foriegn personnel, especially Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury. William died as he lived, an inveterate warrior. He died on September 9, 1087 from complications of a wound he recieved in a siege on the town of Mantes. The "Anglo Saxon Chronicle" gave a favorable review of William's twenty one year reign, but added: "His anxiety for money is the only thing for which he can deservedly be blamed,...he would say and do some things and indeed almost anything...where the hope of money allured him." He was certainly cruel by modern standards, and exacted a high toll from his subjects, but he laid the foundation for the economic and political success of England.

The Unready AETHELRED II King of England was born 968. He died 23 Apr 1016. The married Elfreda (AElfgifu). Aethelred II was called the "Unready" King. He reigned from 979 until 1013 when he was deposed, and then again from 1014 until 1016. The term unready referred to the fact that he took the throne unexpectedly at the age of 10 years old when his father died. He had not been prepared to become king and therefore was "unready". In the face of Danish raids, he was forced to pay huge tributes to the enemy. He was driven into exile by Sweyn but returned after Sweyn died. He succeeded to the throne after the murder of his half-brother, Edward II, the Martyr, at the age of ten. His reign was plagued by poor advice from his personal favorites and suspicions of his complicity in Edward's murder. His was a rather long and ineffective reign, which was notable for little other than the payment of the Danegeld, an attempt to buy off the Viking invaders with money. The relentless invasions by the Danish Vikings, coupled with their ever-escalating demands for more money, forced him to abandon his throne in 1013. He fled to Normandy for safety, but was later recalled to his old throne at the death of Svein Forkbeard in 1014. He died in London in 1016. 872439097. Elfreda (AElfgifu) was born 963. 872439120.

Edgar (959-75 AD) Edgar was made King of Mercia and Northumbria in 957 and succeed to the throne of Wessex at his brother, Eadwig's, death in 959. With this, Edgar was King of Mercia, Northumbria and Wessex (the three most powerful kingdoms in England at that time), simultaneously and could be considered the first ruler of a United England. Some of his predecessors were Kings of All England by virtue of being King of Wessex and, at the same time, enjoying a temporary military ascendancy over the other kingdoms. He was formally crowned in 973 and received the ceremonial submission of all the other kings in Britain. He wisely recalled (St.) Dunstan from exile and made him Archbishop of Canterbury and his closest personal advisor.

Blaatland, Bluetooth HARALD I King of Denmark was born 910. He died 981. Harold Bluetooth (BLAATAND) Born 911; died 1 November, 985 or 986. He was the son of King Gorm the Old of Denmark and of Thyra, daughter of a noblemen of Schleswig (Sunderjylland) who is supposed to have been kindly disposed towards Christianity. His mother must have implanted in the child's soul the first germs of faith which his father, a devout servant of Wotan, did his utmost to destroy. The latter's invasion of Friesland in 934 involved him in war with the German King, Henry I. Having been vanquished, he was forced to restore the churches which he had demolished as well as to grant toleration to his Christian subjects, and he died one year later, bequeathing his throne to Harold. Bishop Unni of Bremen, accompanied by Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Corvey, preached the gospel in Jutland (Jylland) and the Danish isles, and soon won the confidence of the young ruler, although he did not succeed in persuading him to receive baptism. Harold sought to shut the Germans out of his kingdom by strengthening the "Danawirk"-a series of ramparts and fortifications that existed until the latter half of the nineteenth century; moreover, as absolute quiet prevailed throughout the interior, he was even able to turn his thoughts to foreign enterprises. Again and again he came to the help of Richard the Fearless of Normandy (in the years 945 and 963), while his son conquered Semland and, after the assassination of King Harold Graafeld of Norway, he also managed to force the people of that country into temporary subjection to himself. Meanwhile the new religion had become more and more deeply rooted among the Danes. Even a few members of the nobility (such as Frode, Viceroy of Jutland) embraced the faith and soon episcopal sees were established (Schleswig, Ribe, Aarhus). However the prominent part the Germans had in these achievements as well as the lofty idea of the Roman Empire then prevailing led Otto I, the Great, to require Harold to recognize him as "advocatus", or lord protector of the Danish church, and even as "Lord Paramount". It is easy to understand why the indignant king of the Danes replied to this demand with a declaration of war, and why the "emperor" sought to force his "vassal" into subjection. |
