“…31 Correspondingly, Wentworth, in conjunction with a small but influential group of Caroline officials held serious concerns about the need to blunt the emerging threat of the Dutch, whose "chaotic" republican system served as a poor example of government, and whose mercantile activities, which often conflicted with English interests both in the Channel and overseas, seemed unbridled. 32 Moreover, in his new office Sir Thomas quickly developed a special interest in bolstering the importance and revenues of the kingdom of Ireland. Success in managing Ireland-the political graveyard for so many of the deputy's predecessorswould enhance his own prestige with the king.…”

Where do episodes of colonising failure fit into the historiography of European expansion? Almost by definition, this field, especially those aspects of it concerned with colonial social formation, privileges the study of those colonies which became established. Nor does an enquiry into failure have much to offer to those who have adopted the increasingly popular “Atlantic” perspective on European overseas activity. The students in this school of thought stress the importance of the commercial and social links between European-American settlements, as well as with Africa and Europe. These were forged through the unprecedented movement of people and commodities generated by early modern overseas activity, especially across the Atlantic Ocean. These connections and the corresponding mingling of peoples from four continents constitute the key elements in the development of “modernity” and the creation of a manifestly new world.

“…His Fall of the British Monarchies 1637- 42 (1991), The Causes of the English Civil War (1990) and selected essays Unrevolutionary England 1603- 42 (1990) still yield interesting insights and deadly quotes from the archives. 16 John Morrill stands out in 17 th century history and for over 40 years he has kept up a constant dialogue, in print and public speaking, spanning all the Stuart kingdoms, critiquing religious, political, and economic topics with a generosity and openness that is uniquely him. His collected essays up to the early 1990s, The Nature of the English Revolution (1993) are an essential read, particularly around causes and scholarly debates on the period; so too is his work on Oliver Cromwell (1990 and 2007 and 2023 forthcoming) and his prodigious editorial work and book reviews.…”

The Polar Star: James, First Duke of Hamilton (1606-1649)

The 1st duke of Hamilton played an important role in the politics and life of Britain in the first half of the seventeenth century. Born in 1606 into the Scottish ancient noble family of Hamilton, who enjoyed a blood connection with the royal Stuarts, he was well placed to take full advantage of the union of the crowns in 1603 which opened up substantial opportunities in England and Ireland. The centre of that new world was the recently established Stuart court in London. Following his father, Hamilton entered that courtly world in 1620 at the age of fourteen and was executed on a scaffold outside Whitehall Palace in March 1649. During that period, he was involved in some of the most momentous events in British history, the wars of the three kingdoms and the collapse of the Stuart monarchy. His story casts a distinctive light on the period and allows a fresh account of the slowly unfolding crisis that saw an anointed king put on trial and publicly executed. The book is structured in three parts. Part one is a cluster of five studies concentrating on events in Scotland, England, Ireland and mainland Europe prior to 1638. Part two presents three chapters on Hamilton’s role in the three kingdom crisis between 1637-1643. Part three covers the remarkable final phase in Hamilton’s life detailing the Engagement, defeat at Preston and his execution in London. This biography of the 1st duke cuts a unique and distinctive path through one of the most heavily researched periods in the history of Britain. In a period of kingly personal rule, Hamilton stood at the shoulder of the king, cajoling, persuading and ultimately failing to steer him away from civil war in his kingdoms. The main source for this account is the Hamilton Papers brought into the public domain in the last few decades and used extensively for the first time.

“…When I was leaving Spain I was told to profit his services and I found them good. 84 Hugh Owen was highly rewarded for his undeniably excellent work during the negotiations between France and Spain, which would lead to the peace of Vervins in 1598. As the negotiations also referred to a possible accord between Spain, England and the Estates General, Owen was asked to gather information on the real intentions of the English queen and the nobles of the Low Countries.…”

‘Coelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt’: David Stradling (1537–c.1595) and His Circle of Welsh Catholic Exiles in Continental Europe

This paper examines the lives and careers of two Welsh Catholics, David Stradling and Hugh Owen, who sought refuge on the Continent during the reign of Elizabeth I. Whereas something about Hugh Owen's life is known, particularly of his career as the creator of an intelligence service which countered that of Sir Francis Walsingham, David Stradling's life has, in contrast, remained somewhat obscure. Little is known of him other than some details of his family background and his education. My recent research at the Simancas Archive and at the Archives Royales de Bruxelles, however, has revealed hitherto unknown sources that now provide further information on both men. In describing the events of their flight from England to the Continent and their establishment there, I re-examine the circle of well-known English Catholic refugees in the Spanish Low Countries and in Spain.
