..., Henry ( 1628–74 ) . Oliver ’s fourth son. Captain of horse at 19, he rose to command his own cavalry regiment in his father’s expeditionary force to Ireland in 1650 . He stayed on there, returning to sit for Ireland in Barebone’s Parliament . On becoming protector, Oliver sent him back there to investigate the loyalty of the army, whose commander he became. Charles Fleetwood, the lord deputy, returned home, and Henry inherited his authority, though not until 1657 his title. His rule was bedevilled by constant friction with a well-entrenched...

..., Henry ( 1628–74 ). Younger son of Oliver Cromwell , he governed Ireland between 1655 and 1659 as, successively, president of the council, lord deputy, and lord lieutenant. His objective was stable, civilian government. He culled the Baptist military clique, despite the continuance of their supporters on the Irish council and, until 1657 , of Fleetwood as lord deputy. Civilian authority was re‐established: the Four Courts, commissions of peace, and municipal government were restored, as revenue commissioners and army officers lost their...

...in triumph to announce the Cardinal’s arrest for high treason and the confiscation of his property. Left alone, Wolsey bids farewell to his glory, before a commiserating Thomas Cromwell confirms his utter defeat: Sir Thomas More will replace Wolsey as Chancellor, Cranmer is Archbishop of Canterbury, and Anne Boleyn will shortly be crowned. The humbled Wolsey, weeping at Cromwell’s loyalty, urges him to forsake him and serve the King faithfully. 4.1 The two gentlemen watch Anne Boleyn’s coronation procession, after which a third describes the ceremony itself,...

...a full text of 1 Henry IV in 1913 , and revived both it and 2 Henry IV for Shakespeare’s birthday in 1921 , anticipating subsequent directors who have sought to stage the Second Tetralogy as a grand, Wagnerian sequence. At the Old Vic in 1930 John Gielgud played Hotspur to Ralph Richardson ’s Prince Harry, and another conspicuous production of that decade found the music-hall comedian George Robey playing a widely praised Sir John, in 1935 . The legendary production of the century, though, of both 1 Henry IV and 2 Henry IV , took place at the...

...step forward. The edition Robert Estienne published at Paris in 1550 was the first to contain an apparatus criticus , that is, a record in the margins of variant readings of the Greek text collated from manuscripts by his son Henri. Theodore Beza built on Estienne's work in his Greek Testament of 1565, using more of Henri Estienne's collations and a wider range of manuscripts. But two weighty manuscripts at his disposal, including the one later known from his donation of it to Cambridge University in 1581 as Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis, he used...

...control. Government could select the individuals to be named to the Commission of the Peace; but it could not ensure that they would serve, nor could it prevent them from placing local solidarities and interests above the needs of their counties. JPs in the 1530s rushed to tell Cromwell and the Council of potentially treasonable gossip out of fear that their negligence might be discovered and found culpable. At other periods the desire to avoid central interference led JPs to keep the centre ignorant of their actions: in 1793 the magistrates in Bristol chose...

...for music and special effects (with singing, flying witches, a cloud for Hecate to ride, and a disappearing cavern for the apparition scene), Davenant updated the play’s interest in the Stuart monarchy, so that his usurping, regicidal Macbeth becomes a figure analogous to Oliver Cromwell and his Malcolm to the recently restored Charles II. More pervasively, Davenant simplified Shakespeare’s diction, cut the indecorous Porter, and gave the play an unambiguous, symmetrical moral scheme by expanding the roles of Macduff and Lady Macduff to make them into virtuous...
