france and others i recently did a podcast for history hack about london and londoners in the first half of the fourteenth century it s now online give it a listen here it s just under 45 minutes long also recently i had the good fortune to stumble on the youtube channel of panagiotis constantinou a supremely talented visual artist who recreates the faces of historical figures including many of the medieval kings of england and their queens from effigies sculptures and manuscript images i won t post screenshots of the faces here because i don t want to deprive mr constantinou of any clicks and i urge you to take a look at his work all the links below are to his youtube videos his recreated faces smile blink move their heads and look very much alive they re all stunning to behold and the effect of watching stone or a manuscript image morph into what appears to be flesh is incredible the videos are also very informative about the lives of the people being recreated and the music is awesome i have lost an entire day watching and re watching these so far and no doubt will lose far more d edward ii and isabella of france based on the effigy on edward s tomb in gloucester cathedral and a sculpture of isabella s face in beverley minster i have no words for how much i adore both of them henry iii and eleanor of provence edward ii s grandparents edward i and eleanor of castile edward ii s parents edward iii and philippa of hainault edward ii s son and daughter in law i particularly love the young edward aged downwards from the effigy on his tomb in westminster abbey i think he looks rather beautiful rather than merely handsome which perhaps isn t surprising given that both of his parents seem to have been very good looking queen philippa is also youthified from her effigy henry ii richard lionheart king john eleanor of aquitaine berengaria of navarre queen of richard lionheart richard ii from the famous portrait of him in westminster abbey richard ii john of gaunt henry iv henry s queen joan of navarre mr constantinou s recreation of richard ii in this one is from the king s effigy also in westminster abbey with that funny little tufty beard i d have loved to see richard s first queen anne of bohemia as well joan of arc henry v charles vi and vii of france henry vi edward iv and elizabeth woodville richard neville earl of warwick 1428 71 his daughters isabel duchess of clarence and anne queen of england and isabel s husband george brother of edward iv and richard iii richard iii henry vii elizabeth of york and their son arthur henry viii

john inge 1322 23 hugh despenser the younger took possession of the lordship of glamorgan in south wales part of his wife eleanor de clare s inheritance from her late brother the earl of gloucester in november 1317 a number of letters from hugh as lord of glamorgan to sir john inge the sheriff of glamorgan still survive the earliest of them written during edward ii s disastrous siege of the port of berwick on tweed in september 1319 and the last three years later three of the letters are printed in the original anglo norman in volume 3 of cartae et alia munimenta quae ad dominium glamorgancia pertinent others are calendared in english translation in calendar of ancient correspondence concerning wales and one was printed in an 1897 english historical review article by w h stevenson also in the anglo norman original the originals are mostly held in the national archives most of the letters are very long and very detailed and reveal several things that hugh despenser the younger micromanaged the affairs of glamorgan even when he was far away from his lordship that he endlessly hectored the unfortunate john inge and demanded that the sheriff bend over backwards to do everything he wanted that he was a hard man to please and serving him was a thankless task and that he felt a certain degree of contempt for the welsh people it s the last of hugh the younger s letters to john inge that i want to look at today which is printed on pp 1101 04 of cartae et alia munimenta vol 3 unlike most of his letters to inge it s not dated but from references within the letter it s apparent that it must have been written in the autumn of 1322 firstly the robert lewer situation was still ongoing and edward ii ordered lewer s arrest on 16 september 1322 and secondly hugh wrote that he was following up the matter of the forfeited manor of iscennen and edward granted iscennen to him on 6 november 1322 part of the letter refers to hugh s dealings with edward s niece elizabeth de burgh whom hugh politely but rather coldly called la dame de burgh lady de burgh without acknowledging his relationship to her as his wife eleanor s sister as would have been usual and conventional in the middle of the very long missive hugh wrote seemingly casually before moving on to talk about robert lewer the following hair raising sentence and know that we trust you more the more you advise us but we are very worried about having some reason for which we might be prepared to harm you in some way or for which we might lose the good will which we have for you ouchie at some point not too long afterwards though i don t know exactly when probably in 1323 or 1324 hugh despenser the younger imprisoned sir john inge and all his council in southwark because of his rancour towards him he made inge and six guarantors promise to pay him 300 for inge s release and they had handed over 200 of it by the time of hugh s downfall in november 1326 in february 1333 edward iii respited the remaining 100 on the entirely true and accurate grounds that the debt was obtained by force and duress one of inge s councillors thomas langdon died while imprisoned by hugh and a petition about him presented probably in 1327 when it was safe to talk about the despensers many misdeeds also talks of hugh the younger s anger towards sir john inge por corouz qil avoit vers mons johan inge 1 john inge was pardoned in early 1327 at the start of edward iii s reign for having adhered to hugh despenser the younger though one could hardly blame him if he heaved a sigh of relief when hugh fell from power and was executed in november 1326 2 for years john received endless letters from hugh that basically say do this do that go over there right now no not like that you fool like this i m keeping a copy of this letter and you ll regret it if you don t do exactly what i say don t make me hurt you after years of falling over himself to do everything that hugh wanted in exactly the way he wanted it done this was john inge s reward to be threatened with being harmed then imprisoned with his councillors because he had angered hugh in some way chroniclers tell us that even the great english magnates were frightened of hugh despenser the younger and queen isabella certainly was it s not hard to see why below part of sir john inge s petition to edward iii requesting that he and his guarantors might be pardoned the remainder of their debt to the late hugh the younger sources 1 calendar of close rolls 1318 23 pp 723 4 calendar of patent rolls 1330 34 p 404 the

the abduction and ordeal of elizabeth luttrell 1309 i recently wrote a post about sir geoffrey luttrell 1276 1345 who commissioned the luttrell psalter around 1325 30 and his involvement in an attack on sempringham priory lincolnshire in 1312 geoffrey s son and heir andrew from his marriage to agnes sutton was most probably born around easter 1313 and they had other children too younger sons named geoffrey b before 1320 guy and robert and daughter isabella who in 1345 was a nun of sempringham priory 1 geoffrey and agnes also had a daughter called elizabeth who suffered a very distressing experience when she was abducted and raped it is virtually certain that this was a case of child rape elizabeth luttrell must have been a good bit older than her four brothers she first appears on record on 1 june 1309 when she was already betrothed to a young man named walter son of walter gloucester 2 on this date elizabeth and walter the younger were granted the reversion of the lincolnshire manors of ingoldsby and skinnand which is a deserted medieval village plus lands and meadows in welbourn and navenby also in lincolnshire ingoldsby is less than three miles from the luttrells chief manor of irnham and about ten miles from sempringham priory and the gloucester family also owned manors in lincolnshire sir walter gloucester senior elizabeth luttrell s father in law died not long before 26 august 1311 and his inquisition post mortem of september that year says that his son and heir walter was seventeen on 15 january last or eighteen on christmas day next this gives walter a date of birth around christmas 1293 or mid january 1294 though i can t find his proof of age or any mention of it in the chancery rolls walter junior s mother or stepmother was named hawise and she outlived her husband by more than twenty years and was still alive in the early 1330s 3 walter jr and his younger brother john attacked hawise s lincolnshire manor of heydour not long before 8 october 1321 and stole twenty oxen eighteen horses and sixty six pigs plus jewels and silver vessels wonder what was going on there apparently a family dispute 4 elizabeth luttrell gave birth to her son inevitably also named walter gloucester around easter 1316 according to her husband s inquisition post mortem walter however proved his age ie twenty one sometime before 19 july 1336 which strongly implies that he was born before july 1315 on 10 july 1336 he was said to be aged twenty one years and more 5 walter was only a couple of years younger than his uncle andrew luttrell the eldest of his mother s four younger brothers and given that elizabeth gave birth in or around 1315 she must have been born in c 1300 at the latest sometime before 23 july 1315 possibly while elizabeth was pregnant or had recently given birth her husband and his brother john were accused of attacking the manor of one william mortimer in ingoldsby with a multitude of horse and foot men the brothers besieged william s house threw stones and shot arrows at the doors and windows finally gained entrance to the property by setting fires outside the doors and stole the unfortunate william s goods after tying him up 6 hmmmm i see a pattern emerging here walter gloucester died not long before 20 february 1323 at not yet thirty years old and on 12 may that year hawise founded a chantry for her late husband walter d 1311 and for her son or stepson having evidently forgiven him for his theft of her livestock in 1321 elizabeth received her widow s dower on 20 october 1323 and on 7 march 1324 she and her father geoffrey luttrell jointly acknowledged a debt of 100 7 in the summer of 1309 before she married walter something horrible happened to elizabeth luttrell already living with her future husband s family she was abducted from somewhere called laund i m not sure where that is probably launde in leicestershire or lound in nottinghamshire by john ellerker and raped i don t know how old the unfortunate elizabeth was when she suffered this ordeal but she was certainly a child or at the very most in her early teens her father geoffrey was only thirty three years old in 1309 and her four brothers were still years away from being born john ellerker was a clerk and ellerker presumably where he came from is a village in yorkshire about ten miles from beverley and thirty from york there s a huge number of entries in the chancery rolls and elsewhere during the reigns of edward ii and iii relating to john ellerker the elder and john ellerker the younger who were oddly enough brothers the majority of the entries deal with people acknowledging debts to the two men and one of them was chamberlain of north wales at one point i have no idea if one of them was the man in question or if they were unrelated it appears that the john ellerker who abducted and assaulted elizabeth luttrell was later the rector of willingham by stow in lincolnshire became a canon both of beverley and york in the 1320s and was a royal clerk 8 from this entry in the archbishop of york s register dating to early 1315 ellerker was illegitima...
