Calligraphy (England)

Letter from Queen Catherine Howard to Thomas Culpepper (SP 1/167) In Early August 1541, Catherine Howard wrote a letter to Thomas Culpepper which would become a factor in their, and Lady Rochfords, eventual execution. Catherine, the first cousin of Anne Boleyn, was only 16 or 17 when she married the 49 year old king, her vulnerability and exploitation by older men becoming her undoing. Transcript: Master Culpeper, I heartily recommend me unto you, praying you to send me word how that you do. It was showed me that you was sick, the which thing troubled me very much till such time that I hear from you praying you to send me word how that you do, for I never longed so much for a thing as I do to see you and to speak with you, the which I trust shall be shortly now.

Will of Samuel Pepys Document: First page of Samuel Pepys' will (PROB 1/9) Description: Samuel Pepys, whose famous diary described events like the Great Fire of London, died on 26 May 1703. This is the first page of his will. The main text of this will was written by somebody else, probably a clerk working for Pepys or for his legal advisers. The opening phrase is clearer and larger as it is the first phrase in the document and because it is a prayer to God. The clerk has left spaces in the document for Pepys to insert his name and position, the names of the people to whom he left his land and property, and various sums of money. Explore more of Pepys' will in our recent Samuel Pepys lesson:

London defies ban on Christmas Description: This note from Oliver Cromwell from the State Papers refers to a report that people in the City of London and in Westminster have been flouting his ban on celebrating Christmas. When Cromwell and his Puritan forces took over England, they banned Christmas in an effort to rid the country of decadence. Soldiers were ordered to go round the streets and take food being cooked for a Christmas celebration, by force if necessary. Traditional Christmas decorations like holly were also banned. This move was unpopular with the people of England, many of whom resisted it. Date: 1650 christmas, statepapers, cromwell, protectorate, london
