James Wilson letter to Thomas Rotch, Steubenville, August 11, 1821
No full textJames Wilson, Steubenville printer, asks Thomas Rotch if he wishes to renew a subscription that apparently has expired. It was critically important especially in the early phases of settlement for merchants, settlers and families to have access outside news. We know that newspapers from New England reached Kendal early and particularly after the Kendal post office was established in 1813. 7.90" x 9.90" (20 by 25.1cm
Pattern matching and bisimulation
No full textConcurrent Pattern Calculus (CPC) is a minimal calculus whose communication mechanism is based on a powerful form of symmetric pattern unification. However, the richness of patterns and their unification entails some flexibility in the challenge-reply game that underpins bisimulation. This leads to an ordering upon patterns that is used to define the valid replies to a given challenge. Such a theory can be smoothly adapted to accomplish other, less symmetric, forms of pattern matching (e.g. those of Linda, polyadic π-calculus, and π-calculus with polyadic synchronization) without compromising the coincidence of the two equivalences. © 2013 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing
The Berkeleys of Berkeley, 1281-1417: a study in the lesser peerage of late medieval England
No full textThis thesis is a study of the Berkeley family through five generations
from 1281 to 1417 and attempts to study in depth all the aspects of their
lives for which material is available. This is far more abundant for the
Berkeley family than for many others in a similar position in the late
middle ages which makes them a suitable subject for such study.
The first lord in the series is Thomas II (lord 1281-1321) who had a
personal association with Edward I manifested in his close involvement in
all the most important events of the reign. He virtually retired from
active public life during the reign of Edward II and his heir, Maurice III
(1321-26), took over as representative of the family. He benefited from the
lordship of the earl of Pembroke which brought him several important posts
between 1312 and 1318, but he then broke with Pembroke to join the Marcher
opposition to the king. He was one of the leaders of the rebels in the
Despenser War of 1321-2 and spent the rest of his life imprisoned at
Wallingford.
His son, Thomas III (1326-61), was married to Mortimer's daughter and
consequently played an important role during the Mortimer regime, but suffered
an eclipse during the 1330s while undergoing his parliamentary trial
for the death of Edward II. He re-emerged onto the national stage in the
1340s but was principally concerned with domestic and estate matters. His
heir, Maurice IV (1361-68) was retained by the Black Prince and was wounded
and captured while in the Prince's service at Poitiers. The wound made him
an invalid for the rest of his life and he was further hampered by the
burden of paying off his ransom. His son Thomas IV (1368-1417) was a
minor until 1374 and then was severely restricted financially by the claims
on the estate of two long-lived dowagers until 1390. This was to ascertain
extent mitigated by the fortuitous inheritence by his wife of the Lisle
estate but he played no important role in the affairs of Richard II's reign.
He was prominent, however, in the establishment of Henry IV in 1399 and was
a Privy Councillor of that king until 1406 when he appears to have been
dropped when Prince Henry's influence at court became important.
These activities at court were influenced principally by the lords'
personal associations with the current ruler and in normal circumstances
they did, not have the status consonant with the right to involvement in
affairs of the highest importance. They were, however, at the highest end
of the peerage since their income rose to almost comital size and this
position was enhanced by marriage alliances with other peerage families
of similar high incomes and long establishment. The daughters of the family,
however, occasionally married men of lesser status. Portions, jointures and
dowers were distributed and received in conformity with the general rules
governing such matters but the most prominent and important of their family
relations was the loyalty shown by the cadets to Gloucestershire and the
main line. This was occasionally of particular importance, such as the
alliance between Thomas III and his courtier brother, Maurice (of Stoke
Giffard), but was at all times a source of great strength to the lords whose
influence in their "country" was thereby greatly extended.
A second major factor in the Berkeley lords' dominance of their "country"
(which appears to have been, in most respects, the county of Gloucestershire)
was the concentration of their estate in that area. This was improved by the
acquisition of new lands in the same area and although most of these lands
were subsequently granted to younger sons, these cadet branches only served
to strengthen the lords' position further. The income derived from that
part of the estate which descended with the main line rose from around £900
per annum in the late 13th century to £1,150 per annum by 1360 but on occasions
it was considerably higher than this, notably after the Lisle lands
came to Thomas IV in 1382 and 1392.
Although the, lords' resources, and their ability to concentrate all of
them on the one area, was an important element of their influence in the
county, a more important factor, perhaps, was the lack of any serious
rivals within Gloucestershire. This enabled the Berkeleys to have what
amounted to almost a monopoly of lordship and a great deal of influence
over appointments to local offices. Their increasing stature is reflected
in the changing methods they adopted to impose their will in the area,
these growing in sophistication over the period. Their lordship was
reciprocated-by the members of their affinity who assisted and supported
them in their various endeavours.
Detailed study of the manor of Ham (the largest of those making up
the honour of Berkeley) showed that there was a huge increase in the number
of tenements held by free tenants, and in the rents paid by them, under
the lordship of Thomas II. He also cut down the number of villein tenements,
the profit from which was restricted by custom, but the principal change
in this respect occured after the Black Death when many tenements came to
be "held freely" for a greatly increased cash rent. The adverse effects
of the Black Death were quickly corrected in the short term but long term
effects are apparent in the static nature of the rent-roll from 1360. The
use and type of labour changed over the period since Thomas II was content
to have a smaller number of famuli and make greater use of villein labour
services, while Thomas III used much of the villein labour obligation to
support famuli (thus increasing the numbers employed) and making up the
deficit with casual labour. Most of the stock on the manor were draught
animals and, although many went to the household, sale became more important
after 1360 as policy changed it into more of a "cash" manor. There was a
large demesne which produced great quantities of wheat and oats and smaller
quantities of beans, most of which went to the household. The lords' followed
most of the agricultural techniques advised in the treatises but on matters
not covered by them, the local wisdom which predominated was not as helpful
as it could have been
