<<The Council of the NORTH was an administrative body originally set
up in 1485 by king Richard III of England, the last Yorkist monarch to
hold the Crown of England; its intention was to improve government
control and economic prosperity, to benefit the entire area of
NORTHern England. Throughout its history, the council
was always located within *Yorkshire* , first at
*SHERIFF* Hutton and then *SANDAL* Castle.

After the Wars of the Roses and the emergence of the Tudor dynasty,
there were some troubles in the area in relation to the English
Reformation, the Church of England's split from Rome and the
dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. In the NORTH, most
people remained staunch supporters of the Catholic faith and were
deepy unhappy with the changes; the people rose up in York creating
a 30,000 strong rebel Catholic army carrying crosses & banners
depicting the Holy Wounds; this became known as the Pilgrimage of
Grace. Henry VIII's army was not strong enough to fight them, and so
Thomas Howard was sent to negotiate peace with rebel leader Robert
Aske. It was promised that the rebels would be pardoned and a
parliament would be held in York to discuss their demands; the rebels
convinced that the monasteries would be re-opened returned to their
homes. However as soon as they returned to their homes, Henry had the
rebel leaders arrested and executed 200 people involved, including
Aske, Lady Bulmer and the Abbots of the four largest monasteries in
the NORTH.
In 1530, the Council of the NORTH was re-instated in York as a means
to govern the area at arms length. It had its own set of presidents
who were generally earls, Church of England bishops and lords; some of
whom were actually born in the NORTH. By 1641 the Long Parliament had
the Council abolished due to reasons relating to the Reformation, the
Council was the chief support for Catholic Recusants and Anglicans.
The reason for doing so was the deteriorated state of NORTHern society
since the Harrying of the NORTH under the Normans. Richard was the
first post-Norman King of England to legislate & conduct government
in the English language, possibly because his experience among his
subjects whilst at Middleham Castle had created a mutual respect
between them. Die hard Yorkists did not forget this when Perkin
Warbeck & Lambert Simnel appeared. This local loyalty did not save
Richard from desertion, when the Earl of Richmond rose against him.
(Coincidentally, Richmond Castle had seniority over Middleham Castle!)
Henry VIII reorganised the Council. He placed it under his son; Henry
Fitzroy, 1st Duke of Richmond & Somerset with its seat at Sherriff
Hutton. Following the suppression of the Pilgrimage of Grace, from
1539, it met at the former house of the Abbot of St. Mary's Abbey,
York (founded by the Lord of Richmond) in the centre of that city;
after the dissolution of the abbey, the building had been retained
by the king who formally allocated it to the Council.
The building is nowadays called the King's Manor.
The Council was abolished by the Long Parliament in 1641, because
it was the chief support for Catholic Recusants and Anglicans.
After the English Restoration, the Secretary of State for
the NORTHern Department was formed and influenced industry.

.
<< *Thomas CECIL* , 1st Earl of Exeter, KG (May 5, 1542 – February 8,
1623), known as Lord Burghley from 1598 to 1605, was an English
politician and soldier. Exeter was the eldest son of William Cecil,
1st Baron Burghley, and the half-brother of Robert Cecil. He served in
government under Elizabeth I of England, first serving in the House of
Commons in 1563 and representing various constituencies for most of
the time from then until 1593. He was knighted in 1575. His father's
death in 1598 brought him a seat in the House of Lords, the 2nd Lord
Burghley, as he then was, served from 1599 to 1603 as Lord Lieutenant
of Yorkshire and Lord President of the Council of the NORTH. It was
during this period that Queen Elizabeth made him a Knight of the
Garter in 1601. He was created Earl of Exeter on May 4, 1605, the same
day his half-brother Robert Cecil, 1st Viscount Cranborne was created
1st Earl of Salisbury. Unlike his brother, however, he did not become
a Government minister under James I. The Cecil family fostered arts;
they supported musicians such as William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons and
Thomas Robinson. The latter, in his youth, was in the service of
Thomas Cecil. Thomas Cecil married Dorothy Neville, the daughter of
John Neville, 4th Baron Latimer by his wife Lucy Somerset daughter of
Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester. Lord Exeter is buried in a
tomb in the warrior chapel at St Mary's church in Wimbledon village.
.
By his wife, Thomas Cecil had eleven children:
.
* William Cecil, 2nd Earl of Exeter
* Catherine Cecil
* Lucy Cecil, married William Paulet, 4th Marquess of Winchester
* Mildred Cecil
* Sir Richard Cecil of Wakerley
* Edward Cecil, Viscount Wimbleton
* Mary Cecil married Edward Denny, 1st Earl of Norwich
* Dorothy Cecil
* Elizabeth Cecil
* Thomas Cecil, Esq
* Frances Cecil married Nicholas Tufton, 1st Earl of Thanet>>

creditors in Ropemaker's Alley, Moorfields. His original family name
was Foe, but he himself ennobled it by adding the aristocratic "De."
He was a fearless attacker of privilege and prestige and was
once put in the pillory for his insolence against the Establishment.
It is said that his friends came and tossed flowers instead
of refuse at him. He is buried in the dissenter cemetery
Bunhill Fields on the New City Road, across the street from

Although Defoe was an incredibly productive & successful writer,
"he left no will, all his property having been previously assigned,

<<A strange piece of info that may fit suicide theory:
Derran Charlton made a copy of a list of paintings at
Wentworth Woodhouse. I noticed a very strange one.
It says as I remember a painting of Elizabeth Vere
kneeling before an urn.
I immediately thought of a funerary urn containing ashes. Why else
would she kneeel before an urn? Also it had to be an urn of ashes of
someone emotionally close to her to have a painting of herself
kneeling before it. I had never heard of the suicide theory but I
thought of Hamlet's line that he was more Or was it Horatio's? that he
was more an antique Roman than a Dane when thinking of killing himself
after Hamlet's death. I thought maybe Oxford requested cremation which
was common in the ancient world but not in Christendom. But then I
don't think that a request for cremation would have been honored at
the time--that was not allowed--in fact I read recently at a funeral
home that the Catholic church has only recently approved cremation.
The English church I assume would also have prohibited it. Then whose
ashes would be in the urn Elizabeth Vere was kneeling before? Not any
of her children or probably anyone else in the family as cremation
would never be allowed---the body had to be whole for the
resurrection--that I think was the belief of the church. I could only
think it would be her father Oxford as I can't imagine anyone close to
her being cremated other than him. But how would this have happened? I
couldn't figure it out but it was a strange description of a painting.
The suicide aspect may explain it. And the lack of a grave for Oxford.
If he committed suicide he could not be buried in hallowed ground--
just like Ophelia. So maybe the family opted for another alternative
to ignominious burial, or he even requested cremation in a note before
he took his life. Just some thoughts on a very strange description of
a painting in this Wentworth woodhouse collection that has many Derby
De Vere paintings. To me if this is true, it is very sad that such a
great and compassionate soul who gave the world such infinite riches
would end his life in such despair.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Herbert,_4th_Earl_of_Pembroke
Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke, 1st Earl of Montgomery KG
(October 16, 1584 – January 23, 1649) was an English courtier and
politician active during the reigns of James I and Charles I. Philip
Herbert and his older brother William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke
were the 'incomparable pair of brethren' to whom the First Folio of
Shakespeare's collected works was dedicated in 1623.
He married first Susan de Vere, daughter of the 17th earl of Oxford.
They had three children:
* Anna Sophia Herbert, married Robert Dormer,
. 1st Earl of Carnarvon and had issue.
* Sir Charles Herbert (c. 1619–1635), married Mary Villiers,
daughter of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham & had no issue.
* Philip Herbert, 5th Earl of Pembroke (c. 1621–1669)
----------------------------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Herbert,_4th_Earl_of_Pembroke
In 1641, Pembroke voted in favour of the bill of attainder against
Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford. During this period, Charles
became especially angry when Pembroke gave encouraging words to an
anti-Strafford crowd. Upon the queen's urging, Charles determined to
remove Pembroke from his post as Lord Chamberlain. The pretext came
when Pembroke had yet another of his violent altercations, this time
striking Henry Howard, Lord Maltravers with a cane during a
committee meeting of the House of Lords. Charles demanded Pembroke's
resignation, replacing him with Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex.
This marked Pembroke's final break with Charles.>>
---------------------------------
Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford
http://www.rarebooksinjapan.com/religious/strafford.html
In January 1626 Wentworth asked for the presidency of the Council of
the NORTH, and was favourably received by Buckingham. But after the
dissolution of the parliament, he was dismissed from the justiceship
of the peace and the office of custos rotulorum of Yorkshire - which
he had held since 1615 - probably because he would not support the
court in forcing the country to contribute money without a
parliamentary grant. In 1627, he refused to contribute to the forced
loan, and was subsequently imprisoned.
In 1628, Wentworth was one of the more vocal supporters of the
Petition of Right, which attempted to curb the power of the King. Once
Charles had (grudgingly) accepted the Petition, Wentworth felt it
appropriate to support the crown, saying "The authority of a king is
the keystone which closeth up the arch of order and government."
He was consequently branded a turncoat. And on 22 July 1628,
he was created Baron Wentworth.
In the parliament of 1628, Wentworth joined the popular leaders in
resistance to arbitrary taxation and imprisonment, but tried to obtain
his goal without offending the Crown. He led the movement for a bill
which would have secured the liberties of the subject as completely as
the Petition of Right afterwards did, but in a manner less offensive
to the King. The proposal failed because of both the uncompromising
nature of the parliamentary party and Charles's stubborn refusal to
make concessions, and the leadership was snatched from Wentworth's
hands by John Eliot and John Coke. Later in the session he quarrelled
with Eliot, because he wanted to come to a compromise with the Lords,
so as to leave room for the King to act unchecked in special
emergencies.
As yet Wentworth was not directly involved in the government of the
country. But, and following the assassination of Buckingham, in
December, 1628, he became Viscount Wentworth and president of the
Council of the NORTH. In the speech delivered at York on taking
office, he announced his intention, almost in the words of Francis
Bacon, of doing his utmost to bind up the prerogative of the Crown and
the liberties of the subject in indistinguishable union. "Whoever," he
said, "ravels forth into questions the right of a king and of a people
shall never be able to wrap them up again into the comeliness and
order he found them." His tactics were the same as those he later
practised in Ireland, leading to the accusation that he planned to
centralise all power with the executive at the expense of the
individual in defiance of constitutional liberties.
