Friar Bellows suggested the motto of their enterprise: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall be slaughtered". The conspirators called for chaos, slaughter and flowers mercilessly crushed under foot.
Edmund had a more coherent plan. Described by him as cunning in its simplicity. He would ride home and then send for them all through a black-haired messenger. They would gather in the tavern ...

| | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Prince Edmund Blackadder - Treachery The first person Edmund met after escaping from prison was a man seeking to sell six black homing pigeons. While the seller's initial asking price was six shillings, he generously invited Edmund to beat him up, tie him to a tree and steal the pigeons, an offer the Prince gratefully accepted. Edmund promptly sent the pigeons to fly to his fellow conspirators.
Philip of Burgundy, however, beat the Black Seal to the royal castle. When the Black Seal arrived, Philip promptly persuaded them to abandon Edmund and adopt him as their leader. ...

| | | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Prince Edmund Blackadder - Recruiting conspirators Edmund set forth into England in search of the six other "Most Evil Men in the Kingdom". He intended to recruit them in an effort to take over the Kingdom. By order of recruitment, the men included were:

Three-Fingered Pete (played by Roger Sloman). An archer.

| | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Prince Edmund Blackadder - The Hawk After his comrades dispersed, Edmund's plan hit a severe setback. His supposed new friend the Morris Dancer cast off his disguise of an elderly man to reveal himself as Edmund's old enemy, Philip of Burgundy, nicknamed The Hawk.
Philip had just arrived in England after 15 years of exile in France, an exile for which Edmund was apparently responsible. (Historically Philip was only 19 in January 1498. A Fleming by birth and upbringing, he was never exiled to France.) In revenge, Philip now incar ...

| | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Prince Edmund Blackadder - Awaiting execution While awaiting execution, Edmund and his two companions had their heads shaved. Each prisoner was attached to a ball and chain. Their attempts to bribe the guards in order for them to allow their escape failed - the guards had apparently been approached by many prisoners in this way and were unbribeable.
Prior to his execution Edmund was visited by his mother and wife. At eleven Leia was apparently too young to feel concern over the event of being about to become a widow. She thought her bald husband looked funny. Leia informed the "b ...

However the last and most exciting part would unfold in 1498.
On Saint Juniper's Day, in early January 1498, King Richard IV followed tradition in lavishing new honours upon his kinfolk. He started by giving a short speech: " Saint Juniper once said, "By his loins shall ye know him and by the length of his rod shall he be measured." The length of my rod is a mystery t ...

At some point they were visited by the Queen consort. Who supposed this was what came of being a witch. Edmund complained and claim to have not ever been one. But his mother countered that her youngest son was always a bit of a fibber. Edmund nevertheless begged the Queen to use whatever power she possessed to help him. The Queen claimed however that she had not held any power for years. Ge ...

| | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Henry Edward Cardinal Manning - Early Life He was born at Totteridge, Hertfordshire, the third and youngest son of William Manning, a West India merchant, who served as a director and (1812 - 1813) as a governor of the Bank of England, and who sat in Parliament for some thirty years, representing in the Tory interest Plympton Earle, Lymington, Evesham, and Penryn consecutively. Henry's mother, Mary, daughter of Henry Leroy Hunter, of Beech Hill, Reading, came of a family said to be of French extraction.

| | | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Henry Edward Cardinal Manning - Conversion To Catholicism
Manning's belief in Anglicanism was shattered in 1850, when the Privy Council successfully ordered the Church to institute a clergyman whom many, including Manning, considered a heretic. The following year he was received into the Catholic Church and soon after was ordained a priest. Given his great abilities and prior fame, he quickly rose to a position of influence, and, in 1865, was chosen as Archbishop of Westminster.
Among his accomplishments as head of the Catholic Church in England were the building of Westminster Cathed ...

| | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - John Barbour - The Brus The Brus, in 14,000 octosyllabic lines and twenty books, is a narrative poem with a purpose partly historical, partly patriotic. It celebrates the praises of Robert the Bruce and James Douglas, the flowers of Scottish chivalry, opening with a description of the state of Scotland at the death of Alexander III (1286) and concluding with the death of Douglas and the burial of the Bruce's heart (1332). The central episode is the Battle of Bannockburn. Patriotic as the sentiment is, it is in more general terms than is found in later Scots ...

| | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Thematic concerns As stated by many critics and scholars, the Cathedral of Notre Dame appears to be the main setting, which is almost elevated to the status of a character. The book portrays the Gothic era as one of extremes of architecture, passion and religion; which despite being the cause of many problems are seen by Hugo to be more authentic than the sentiments of his time. Like many of his other works, Hugo is also very concerned with social jus ...

| | | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Edmund Bonner - Realignment with Catholicism Bonner resisted the visitation of August 1547, and was committed to the Fleet Prison; but he withdrew his opposition, and was released in time to take an active part against the government in the parliament of November 1547. In the next session, November 1548-March 1549, he was a leading opponent of the first Act of Uniformity and Book of Common Prayer. When these became law, he neglected to enforce them, and on September 1, 1549 he was required by the council to maintain at St Paul's Cross that the royal authority was as great as if the kin ...

This account was disputed by Strype's contemporary, Sir Edmund Lechmere, who asserted (ib. Annals, I. i ...

Shroud of Turin - Possible history before the 14th century: The Image of Edessa.
There are numerous reports of Jesus' burial shroud, or an image of his head, of unknown origin, being venerated in various locations before the fourteenth century (See Humbert, 1978). However, none of these reports has been connected with certainty to the current cloth held in the Turin cathedral. Except for the Image of Edessa, none of the reports of these (up to 43) different "true shroud ...

| | | | | archdeacon: Encyclopedia II - Shroud of Turin - General observations The shroud is rectangular, measuring approximately 4.4 x 1.1 m (14.4 x 3.6 ft). The cloth is woven in a herringbone twill and is composed of flax fibrils entwined with cotton fibrils. It bears the image of a front and dorsal view of a naked man with his hands folded across his groin. The two views are aligned along the midplane of the body and pointing in opposite directions. The front and back views of the head nearly meet at the middle of the cloth. The views are consistent with an orthographic projec ...

The matter has been left to the personal decision of the faithful. Pope John Paul II stated in 1998, "Since we're not dealing with a matter of faith, the church can't pronounce itself on such questions. It entrusts to scientists the tasks of continuing to investigate, to reach adequate answers to the questions connected to this shroud." He showed himself to be deeply moved by the im ...
