Sandy, that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me.

Princess Elizabeth Tudor’s holograph letters have long been prized, but often reveal more about her education than about her life before she became queen in 1558. Her scribal letters, by comparison, can offer more matter-of-fact insights into these years, showing how Elizabeth negotiated with the governments of her brother Edward VI and sister Mary I, how she managed her household and estate, and how she sued for property for herself and patronage for her servants. The article presents diplomatic transcriptions of seven scribal letters, written between 1547 and 1556, adding significantly to our understanding of her life during these years.

Elizabeth’s first letter was written (appropriately enough) to Cecil from Enfield in Middlesex on 31 December 1547. [Footnote: The letter shows that Elizabeth and Cecil were in communication at least seven months earlier than previously thought. Conyers Read, for example, dated their first contact to Aug. 1548] Cecil had been in Somerset’s service since May, probably as his master of requests, and the princess wrote on behalf of the letter-bearer, Hugh Goodacre, for whom she wanted to obtain a licence to preach. Goodacre, who was probably one of Elizabeth’s chaplains, ‘hath been of longe tyme knowen vnto vs to be aswell of honest conversation and sober lyving, as of sufficient learninge and Iudgement in the Scriptures to preache the worde of god, thadvauncement wherof we so desyer, that we wishe ther were many suche to set furthe godd[e]s glory’. Goodacre had graduated as a B.A. in 1530, when he was elected fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford, and proceeded to the M.A. in 1532 and B.Th. by 1552. Preaching had been licensed in May 1547, when the government ordered that only those who had been vetted and approved could do anything other than read the book of homilies from their pulpits. Significantly, despite the fact that Elizabeth was only fourteen, this was not her first correspondence with Cecil: he had obtained preaching licences on her behalf before, for example one for another of her chaplains, Edmund Allen.

Player Attack TV: June 3, 2016, SE4 EP15

This week’s episode sees us helping The Hatter, with our review of Alice Through the Looking Glass, which is in cinemas now. It’s the sequel to Tim Burton’s take on the classic Lewis Carroll story, but this one doesn’t really pay much attention to the books. Mike says goodbye to Nathan Drake in his emotional tribute to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – if Naughty Dog sticks to their guns and makes this the last in the series, it’s a wonderful sendoff to a wonderful man. And Mel discovers that combining some of the greatest things in life actually can lead to a pretty fun experience – we’ve got an early look at Space Pirates and Zombies 2, out now in Early Access. If you like space, pirates or the undead, you’re in for a treat. …plus, of course, we have all the latest gaming news as well – this is Player Attack!
