Camden Among the Heralds
This essay is a study of William Camden’s role as Clarenceux King of Arms from 1597 until his death in 1623. It investigates the circumstances of his appointment and his subsequent service to the Earl Marshal, the 2 nd earl of Essex to argue that he was a more ambitious and purposeful courtier than his traditional image has suggested. The fallout from the Essex rebellion largely dispelled further political ambitions and at the start of 1604 he re…
‘The Shame of Me and My Poor Ruinate House’
This article focusses on the Leicester parliamentary election of 1601 as a moment that exposed the rapid decline in the power of an aristocratic family. It analyses the various components of the third earl of Huntingdon’s dominance of Leicestershire for much of Elizabeth’s reign and the causes of the unravelling of this following his death in 1595. Foremost among these were the political failings of the fourth earl which destroyed the family’s dy…
The Defence of Episcopacy on the Eve of Civil War
The discovery that Jeremy Taylor, the ‘Anglican’ divine, wrote much of the text of the Rutland Petition in Defence of Episcopacy in November 1641, and included many of the arguments that appeared in his ‘Of the sacred order and offices of episcopacy’, published in 1642, throws fresh light on the political and ecclesiastical implications of royalist petitioning. These petitions have sometimes been viewed as expressions of support for ‘prayer book …

Conflict in Early Stuart England
Introduction
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book suggests that elements in the Puritan 'world view', particularly the sharp distinction between good and evil, had close affinities with the structures of 'popular culture'. It shows that Arminianism focused on a view of the Church and the Christian community on earth which contrasted sharply with Puritan and evangelical Protestan…
Charles I’s Noble Academy
This article investigates the noble academy, known as the Musaeum Minervae, established by Sir Francis Kynaston in Covent Garden in 1635–1636. Drawing on a newly discovered manifesto in which Kynaston set out the case for his academy – a transcript of which is provided as an appendix – it analyses the aims behind the project, in the context of earlier English academy schemes, the nature and scope of its activities and the reasons for its collapse…
David Underdown and Cricket
This article recalls some of the author's discussions with David Underdown about cricket. It then goes to review his book about the early development of the game, State of Play , setting it in the context of his work on early modern social history and his abiding concerns about the impact of money and gambling on cricket, and the dangers of the game losing touch with its local grass roots
Additional Docquets of Commissions of the Peace from the Papers of L ord K eeper C oventry (1625–40) in the W orcestershire R ecord O ffice
The docquets of letters patent are brief chancery documents authorising grants to be made under the great seal. They are, therefore, state papers, but an extensive collection dating from the long lord keepership (1625–40) of S ir T homas C oventry (1578–1640) remained among C oventry's personal papers at C roome d'A bitot, W orcestershire.

Charles I and the Order of the Garter
The reforms in the rites and ceremonies of the Order of the Garter that Charles I introduced during the 1620s and 1630s have traditionally been seen by historians as enhancing its high church, religious associations and downplaying its military traditions. This study, however, argues that the celebration of courage, martial achievement, and noble companionship remained central themes within the order during this period and that this tells us a go…
Was There an Alternative to the Personal Rule? Charles I, the Privy Council and the Parliament of 1629
This article demonstrates that in the months following the duke of Buckingham's assassination in August 1628 Charles I's ‘patriot’ privy councillors, apparently with the blessing of the king, put together a ‘new deal’ for co‐operation between crown and people. This was based on settling grievances over Arminianism and tonnage and poundage, re‐launching the war against Spain, and re‐establishing a harmonious relationship with parliament. The schem…

The Forced Loan of 1626–27 has traditionally been regarded as one of the milestones of early seventeenth-century politics. The great nineteenth-century Whig historian S. R.
