Last Knight Medieval England Plantagenet John of Gaunt this Sceptred Isle Plague
The Last Knight: The Twilight of the Middle Ages and The Birth of the Modern Era by Norman F. Cantor. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 260 pages. Publisher: Free Press; 2004) ISBN: 0743226887. There may be no more fascinating historical period than the late fourteenth century in Europe. The Hundred Years' War ravaged the continent. Yet gallantry, chivalry, and literary brilliance flourished in the courts of England and elsewhere. Chaucer wrote brilliant satire, lords and ladies invented courtly rituals of love and romance, yet the vast bulk of Europe's population struggled with plague, economic uncertainty, and violence. It was a world in transition, soon to be replaced by the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration, and John of Gaunt was its central figure. Norman F. Cantor, the best known and most popular historian of the ... moreMiddle Ages, brings Gaunt to life brilliantly in his newest work, The Last Knight" John of Gaunt was the richest man in Europe. Apart from its monarchs, and he epitomized and surpassed the ideals of the late Middle Ages. From chivalry; he was taught at a young age to fight on horseback like the knights of old; to courtly love, his three marriages included two romantic love-matches; and he was an ideal leader. He created lavish courts, sponsoring Chaucer and proto-Protestant religious thinkers, and he survived the dramatic Peasants' Revolt, during which his sumptuous London residence was burned to the ground. As the head of the Lancastrian Branch of the Plantagenet family. He was the unknowing father of the War of the Roses, for his son Henry Bolingbroke(to become King Henry IV) usurped the crown from Gaunt's nephew, Richard II, after Gaunt had died. He passed away just as one great era gave way to the next: His grandson Henry the Navigator launched the Age of Exploration. Gaunt's adventures represent the culture and mores of the Middle Ages as few others' do, and his death is portrayed by Cantor as the end of that fascinating period. Shakespeare put into Gaun

Shortly after the battle of Hastings in 1066, William of Normandy erected the White Tower to consolidate his hold over his newly won island kingdom. Over the span of the next nine years successive English monarchs transformed the fortress into a royal residence, a state prison, a menagerie, a mint and finally an armory and a repository for the crown jewels.

Here is the full panoramic story of England’s monarchy. As seen from behind the Tower’s imposing walls. Supplementing the narrative are some one hundred illustrations, one half in full color.

And was believed to ward off both lightning strikes and the plague(black death” Historically the colorless form of natural Zircon, known as“Matara diamond” has been very costly as Zircon comes very close to diamonds in fire and brilliancy due to its high refractive index. Here's a remarkably gorgeous, sparkling, oval ... morecut vivid, intensely blue colored faceted zircon with all the flash and brilliance of a diamond. Renown for the production of the fabled gemstones and jewelry of Russian Czars from the Medieval through Renaissance and Victorian Eras, this gemstone was hand cut and hand polished by a 19th century Russian artisan for use in indigenous jewelry. It looks ever so much like a rich, intense, blue colored diamond– the vivid blue bringing to mind the clear, vibrant blue color of a alpine lake on a bright summer day. Zircon was used for centuries as a diamond substitute, and in general can easily fool most anyone, even many jewelers, into believing that they are diamonds. They are exceeding difficult to distinguish from the highest quality diamonds due to their high refractive index. Under magnification the gemstone shows the unmistakable characteristics of having been hand crafted. The coarseness of the 19th century finish is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors. And is not considered a detriment, or detract from the value of a gemstone. These characteristics are not only expected of hand-finished gemstones, most serious collectors consider such gemstones more desir

18thC Antique 1¼ct Scotland Amethyst Ancient Medieval Shaman Prophecy Visions
Large One and One-Quarter Carat 18th Century Handcrafted Antique Genuine Natural Amethyst Oval. Handcrafted oval cut cabochon is of 18th century origin sourced from the Devonian lava beds on the coast of Scotland near Angus. Handcrafted by a Russian artisan for domestic jewelry. Length: 8mm.

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) Shamans of the ancient and medieval world used amethyst to assist prophecy and visions.

Most ancient Mediterranean cultures, including the ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians and Celts believed that ... moreamethyst protect soldiers from harm in battle. Extremely popular in 18th and 19th century Scotland, amethyst retained its popularity through the 20th century. Handcrafted and shaped in the 18th century, this large and colorful amethyst comes from the Devonian lava beds near the coast of Angus County, Scotland. Much finer than the images here suggest, it is a lovely cabochon oval cut, gorgeous, vibrant and richly hued, the pride of a 18th century Russian artisan. A nice quality gemstone in its times, it is more or less transparent but by no means flawless. Though generous in size, it is not a high quality amethyst by today's standards, though it is historically significant. Purple has always been associated with royalty and amethyst is no exception. It was popular with all of Europe's royalty during Renaissance and Victorian times. When seen under magnification. The coarseness of the finish of this 18th century amethyst tells us that it is obviously hand crafted. Rather than detracting from its value or allure, this is considered appealing to most collectors, who consider examples like this to be more desirable than today’s computer-controlled machine-produced gemstones.

“Norman Achievement” Europe England France Italy Sicily Syria Medieval Empire
The Norman Achievement 1050-1100 by David C. Douglas. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 271 pages. Publisher: University of California Press; 1969) In the whole course of European history” Professor Douglas writes, there have been few movements more remarkable than the sudden explosion of Norman power between 1050 and 1100. For during this period, the Norman spread out from their adopted homeland in the north-west of France, and took their power and influence to places as far apart as England, Italy, Sicily, and Syria. At the same time William the Conqueror was taking possession of England, Robert Guiscard was strengthening his rule over Italy; Roger, the Great Count was establishing his power in Muslim Sicily; and Bohemund I was securing a Norman foothold within the Byzantine Empire. But as impressive as this was, it was more than ... morea military conquest, and its effects were to play an important part in changing the direction of European history. In the north-west of Europe a new power was created. The Norman-Anglo state. In the south the many rulers whose carrying powers and traditions embraced two regions, two systems of ecclesiastical government, three languages(Greek, Latin and Arabic) and three systems of law were replaced by a unified kingdom. Moreover by their alliance with the reforming Papacy the Normans fostered a revival in the Western Church, and made their own contribution to the Crusades. Professor Douglas shows the remarkable similarity between the Norman enterprises. He compares their attitudes to the Church, to the cultures they found and their influence in molding a composite Norman civilization. He also illustrates the extraordinary connections between the men who took part. Not only in leaders such as William and Robert Guiscard, but equally in the lesser figures as the Grandmensils and Crispins, whose families straddled the horizon of Norman power, and who might at any time be at work in Normandy or England or Antioch. Professor Douglas’s book thus reveals the totality of the Norm

Measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 3.52 Carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Rubies were viewed as a stone of prophecy. Used by medieval shamans and sorcerers to divine the future. Ruby was also worn as a talisman, as it was believed that the stone darkened when danger was near, and then return to its original color when the danger was past. Consequentially rubies were considered even more valuable than diamonds. In Medieval Europe ruby was priced 8 times higher than diamond. Here's a nice quality 18th century antique hand shaped/faceted oval ruby precious gemstone ... morefrom Mysore, India. Though considered a"silky" ruby, because they are translucent and not transparent(i.e. it appears"silky" it nonetheless possesses great color and beauty. Most natural rubies have dispersed colorless crystalline material particles within the gemstone that while not individually discernible, when dense enough will nonetheless impart a translucent"silky" appearance to the gemstone. In other words, the ruby gemstones are not transparent, rather they are a translucent, silky blood red tone. These rubies are much more common than crystal-clear specimens. Natural rubies, like sapphires and emeralds, commonly have lots of internal blemishes. So long as these blemishes are colorless, they are"harmless" commonplace, and acceptable. The dispersed colorless crystalline material changes the nature of the gemstone from transparent to translucent. However the rich"ruby red" color is still preserved, and the gemstones can be quite breathtaking in their beauty and luster. In contrast, the very highest quality rubies appear as red colored glass; completely transparent. However such high-quality rubies can easily cost thou

History Medieval Ireland 4-16th Century Society Culture Religion Vikings English
Medieval Ireland: The Enduring Tradition by Michael Richter. With a Foreword by Proinseas Ni Chathain. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover 214 pages. Publisher: St. Martin's Press; 1988) Irish history has traditionally been described either in isolation or in the manner in which it was influenced by outside forces. Especially by England. This book strikes a different balance. First, the time span covered is longer then usual, and more attention is being paid to the early medieval centuries than to the later period. Whether the twelfth century marked a turning point in Irish history, as is normally taken for granted, is questioned here. Secondly. Less emphasis is placed in this book on the political or military history of Ireland than on general social and cultural aspects. As a result, a new interpretation of medieval Ireland emerges, one in which ... moresocial and cultural norms inherited from pre-historic times are seen to survive right through the Middle Ages. They gave Irish society a stability and inherent strength unparalleled in Europe. Christianity came in as an additional, enriching factor. Medieval Ireland: The Enduring Tradition” is an overview of Irish society from the coming of Christianity in the fourth century to the Reformation in the sixteenth. Such a broad survey reveals features otherwise not easily detected. For all the complexity of political developments. Irish society remained basically stable and managed to withstand the onslaught of both the Vikings and the English. The inherent strength of Ireland consisted in the cultural heritage from pre-historic times which remained influential throughout the centuries discussed here. CONDITION: New hardcover w/dustjacket(224 pages) St. Martin's Press(1988) ISBN# 0312023383. Unblemished except for modest edge and corner shelf wear to the dustjacket and covers(including a couple of tiny.

Of all the ancient people of Europe. The Celts stand out as one of the most intriguing. In“Celtic Britain” Laing traces the history of the Celts and Celtic culture from the arrival of the first scattered groups of settlers in Britain in the 7th century B.C. to the development of the kingdoms of medieval Scotland and Wales. Although a Celtic culture continued to flourish independently throughout the Roman and Saxon periods, influences from outside, particularly those of Christianity, began to permeate Celtic society. Dr. Laing. Who work on the later Celts has won wide critical acclaim, introduces new material on the growth of a specifically Celtic Christianity, especially ... morein Ireland and Scotland. He concludes by examining the“myth” of the Celts in modern times. Contents/Chapter Headings include: 1) Introduction– The Celts in Europe. 2) Iron Age Britain. 3) The Roman Interlude. 4) The Dark Ages. 5) Epilogue– Celtic Twilight. 6) The Best of Celtic Britain.

"Medieval Lives" 8 Charismatic Men Women St. Augustine Helena Augusta Hildegard
Medieval Lives: Eight Charismatic Men and Women of the Middle Ages by Norman F. Cantor. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 197 pages. Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers; 1994) ISBN: 0060169893. In his new book Norman F. Cantor. The brilliant author of"Inventing the Middle Ages" and"The Civilization of the Middle Ages" profiles eight men and women who are both representative figures of the Middle Ages and led extraordinary lives. Among them are Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, often called the founder of the Middle Ages and author of the first modern autobiography; Cardinal Humbert of Lorraine, the chief political theorist of the medieval papacy; and Robert Grosseteste, the founder of experimental science and the Franciscan opponent of Thomas Aquinas. Of the women Cantor profiles, Helena Augusta, the mother of fourth-century ... moreRoman emperor Constantine, played a significant role in the formation of medieval religious culture. Hildegard of Bingen was a Benedictine abbess who developed a form of personal visionary mysticism and feminist theory. The third of Cantor's principal women subjects. Eleanor of Aquitaine, was the most famous of medieval queens and had an enormous influence both on politics and society and the arts and literature of her time. Norman F. Cantor's approach to these profiles is almost novelistic: he has invented conversations, based closely on a century of medieval scholarship and on the original sources, which thrust the reader immediately into the lives of his subjects, their colleagues, and friends, and give an immediacy to medieval life rarely encountered in conventional biography. Cantor makes not only comprehensible but exciting to the reader the crises and crosscurrents of medieval cultural history. In a manner rarely achieved. He gets the reader inside the psyche of medieval women and men and makes us fully empathize with their aspirations, triumphs, anxieties, and disappointments. CONDITION: Unblemished except VERY slight edge and corner shelfwear to dustjacke

Amethyst was also ... moreused in spells designed to magnify beauty. In Renaissance magic. An amethyst engraved with the image of a bear was worn as a protective amulet, and had the power to put demons to flight. Most ancient Mediterranean cultures, including the ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians and Celts believed that amethyst protect soldiers from harm in battle. Here are two very nice, very clean, 19th century faceted amethyst gemstones from the Devonian lava beds found along the coast of Angus Country, Scotland. Very popular in 18th and 19th century Victorian Scotland, amethyst has remained a very popular gemstone through the 20th century. The faceted cut is a coarse precursor to what eventually became known in the industry as a“trillion cut” a three sided shape resembling a pyramid with rounded corners. The trillion cut is very popular contemporarily with amethyst, but also sapphire, aquamarine, topaz, ruby, and peridot. These are two very majestically colored purple semi-precious gemstones.

Greater by far than that of Charlemagne, which had come into fashion a little earlier, greater perhaps ... moreeven than the tale of Troy, already some 2,000 years old, which for some centuries it eclipsed. It is through the fifteenth century prose of Sir Thomas Mallory, in which homeliness and nobility go hand in hand, that it holds its place in our hearts. But the story itself was the outcome of the second half of the twelfth century and the beginning of the thirteenth, the days of England’s Henry II and his three turbulent sons Geoffrey, Richard Coeur de Lion, and John. In the days when the Arthurian romances were coming into existence. Violence, cruelty, and luxury were rampant. But the greatness of these evils called forth some great virtues to counter them. This story bears traces of these and is penetrated to its very core by the special virtues of days in which men were content to live dangerously, carrying their lives in their in their hands and willing to lay them down lightly rather than break the rules of the game or be faithless to work or friend.

NEW 1000-1500AD The Lady in Medieval England Rape Abduction Murder Effigies Pix
The Lady in Medieval England 1000-1500 by Peter Coss. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 214 pages. Publisher: Wrens Park Publishing; 1999) Although there have been many books written about medieval women. Few have focused specifically on the lady. In a book designed as a companion to the author's previous book. The Knight in Medieval England. Professor Coss attempts to remedy this with a work which concentrates on the role of the lady within medieval society, how she was perceived both by herself and by her male counterparts, how she related to and participated within the seemingly prevailing male culture of gentility, how the lives of lords and ladies inter-related, and how they behaved towards one another. The author begins by introducing the issues to be discussed through the example of the Pastons of the fifteenth century. The ... moreorigins of the English lady are then considered and her position. Status and image during the eleventh and twelfth centuries examined, highlighting both changes and continuities. The book then develops this theme by looking at the widening gentility in England during the succeeding centuries, especially as expressed through a variety of visual media. Employing a variety of sources. Including double monumental effigies, brasses, and surviving letters, Professor Coss opens to popular scrutiny the affective relations between lord and lady, before turning to antagonistic relationships. In addition to the perennial disputes over property, he discusses rape, abduction and murder, examining the evidence for particular cases such as that of Juliana, widow of Thomas Murdak, who was said to have killed her husband at Stourton Castle during Easter week 1316 A.D. and who was sentenced to be burned. A further chapter looks at contemporary literature in terms of gender and ideology. Here the author examines the behavior deemed fitting for a Medieval Lady. And discusses the internationalization of social and cultural values through literature. Finally he offers an interpretation of the chara

Medieval England / Tudor Era Lead Spindle Whorls -- English Metal Detector Find,
This lot of lead spindle whorls was purchased from a collector in England who told me they were dug up in Yorkshire. Specifically. I've done nothing to clean them, so what you see is what you get. A spindle whorl(according to Wikipedia) is"a disc or spherical object fitted onto the spindle to increase and maintain the speed of the spin. For ages the whorls have been made of many different materials: amber. Antler, bone, coral, glass, metal(iron, lead, lead alloy) and wood(oak) Some types of local materials have been also used, such as chalk, limestone, mudstone, sandstone, slate, and soapstone. These are not uncommon items. And many treasure hunters in the UK have uncovered these in farm fields. Sold as is, your purchase includes all four. I don't have a COA to pass along. You can use these in your medieval/ Anglo Saxon reenactment ... moreor use them as I did, as paperweights on your desk! I am downsizing my personal antiquities collection. So be sure to check out my other listings for some great deals. All sales final. RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Feog4d71f%2B0a7%3E-1444c1e157e-0x101-

Celtic Omega Shape Penannular Brooch Medieval Cloak Pin Artifact 500AD i41685
Item: i41685 Authentic Ancient Celtic Omega Shape Penannular Brooch- Medieval Cloak Pin Artifact from circa 500-900 A.D. Bronze 5.4 x 5.3 x 0.4 centimeters(20.07 grams) You are bidding on the exact item pictured. Provided with a Certificate of Authenticity and Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity. The Celtic brooch. More properly called the penannular brooch. And its closely related type, the pseudo-penannular brooch. Are types of brooch clothes fasteners. Often rather large. They are especially associated with the beginning of the Early Medieval period in Ireland and Britain. Beginning as utilitarian fasteners in the Iron Age and Roman period. They are especially associated with the highly ornate brooches produced in precious metal for the elites of Ireland and Scotland from about 700 to 900. Which are popularly known as Celtic brooches or ... moresimilar terms. They are the most significant objects in high-quality secular metalwork from Early Medieval Celtic art. Or Insular art. As art historians prefer to call it. The type continued in simpler forms such as the thistle brooch into the 11th century. During what is often known as the Viking Age in Ireland and Scotland. Both penannular and pseudo-penannular brooches feature a long pin attached by its head to a ring; the pin can move freely around the ring as far as the terminals. Which are close together. In the true penannular type, the ring is not closed; there is a gap between the terminals wide enough for the pin to pass through. In the pseudo-penannular type, the ring is closed, but there are still two separately defined terminals, which are joined by a further element. The penannular type is a simple and efficient way of fastening loosely woven cloth(where the pin will not leave a permanent hole) but the pseudo-penannular type is notably less efficient. The brooches were worn by both men and women. Usually singly at the shoulder by men and on the breast by women, and with the pin pointing up; an Irish law code says that in the event of injury from a pin to
