Blackmore, Essex[1][2]




June 1514: Cromwell visited leading mercantile centres in the Low Countries, living among the English merchants and developing an important network of contacts while learning several languages. At some point, he returned to Italy. The records of the English Hospital in Rome indicate that he stayed there in June 1514,[1] while documents in the Vatican Archives suggest that he was an agent for Archbishop of York, Cardinal Christopher Bainbridge, and handled English ecclesiastical issues before the Roman Rota.[3] At some time during these years, Cromwell returned to England, where around 1515 he married Elizabeth Wyckes (1489–1527). She was the widow of Thomas Williams, a Yeoman of the Guard, and the daughter of a Putney shearman, Henry Wykes, who had served as a Gentleman Usher to King Henry VII.[1] The couple had a son, Gregory, and two daughters, Anne and Grace. Neither daughter survived childhood.[1] Notwithstanding his family having grown, he twice (in 1517 and 1518) led an embassy to Rome to gain from Pope Leo X a Papal Bull of Indulgence, for the town of Boston in Lincolnshire.[4]

By 1520, Cromwell was firmly established in London mercantile and legal circles.[1] In 1523, he obtained a seat in the House of Commons, though the constituency he represented at that time has not been identified.[1] After Parliament had been dissolved, Cromwell wrote a letter to a friend jesting about the session's unproductiveness:

I amongst other have indured a parlyament which contenwid by the space of xvii hole wekes wher we communyd of warre pease Stryffe contencyon debatte murmure grudge Riches poverte penurye trowth falshode Justyce equyte dicayte [deceit] opprescyon Magnanymyte actyvyte foce [force] attempraunce [moderation] Treason murder Felonye consyli … [conciliation] and also how a commune welth myght be ediffyed and a[lso] contenewid within our Realme. Howbeyt in conclusyon we have d[one] as our predecessors have been wont to doo that ys to say, as well we myght and lefte wher we begann.[1]

In 1524, Cromwell was elected as a member of Gray's Inn and entered the service of Henry VIII's chief minister, Thomas Cardinal Wolsey.[1] In the mid-1520s, Cromwell assisted in the dissolution of nearly thirty monasteries to raise funds for Wolsey to found The King's School, Ipswich (1528), and Cardinal College, in Oxford (1529).[1] In 1526, Wolsey appointed Cromwell a member of his council; by 1529, Cromwell was one of Wolsey's most senior and trusted advisers. However, by the end of October of that year, Wolsey had fallen from power.[1] Cromwell had made enemies for aiding Wolsey to suppress the monasteries, but was determined not to fall with his master, as he told George Cavendish, then a Gentleman Usher and later Wolsey's biographer:
•I do entend (god wyllyng) this after none, whan my lord hathe dyned to ride to london and so to the Court, where I wyll other make or marre or [ere, i.e. before] I come agayn, I wyll put my self in the prese [press] to se what any man is Able to lay to my charge of ontrouthe or mysdemeanor.[1] [3][4]

· Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset (June 15, 1519 – July 23, 1536), was the son of King Henry VIII of England and his mistress, Elizabeth Blount, the only illegitimate offspring whom Henry acknowledged. He was the younger half-brother of Mary I, future Queen of England (daughter of Catherine of Aragon), as well as the older half-brother of the future Elizabeth I (daughter of Anne Boleyn) and Edward VI (son of Jane Seymour). Through his mother he was the elder brother of Elizabeth Tailboys, 4th Baroness Tailboys of Kyme, George Tailboys, 2nd Baron Tailboys of Kyme and Robert Tailboys, 3rd Baron Tailboys of Kyme.

· Birth

· Lord Henry FitzRoy was born in June 1519. His mother was Lady Elizabeth Blount a Maid of Honour to Queen Catherine of Aragon, the wife of King Henry VIII. The newborn baby’s father was the twenty eight-year-old King himself.[5]

June 1522: Surrey escorted the Emperor Charles V from England to northern Spain, and raided Brittany on the return journey. [6]

June 1525: The boy’s upbringing until the moment when he entered Bridewell Palace in June 1525, six years following his birth remains shrouded in confusion. Although the boy was illegitimate, this did not mean that young Henry lived remotely from and had no contact with his father. On the contrary it has been suggested by his biographer Beverly Murphy that a letter from a royal nurse implies that FitzRoy had also been part of the royal nursery, and he was often at court after 1530.[7] The boy was born in the sixteenth century, and at that time households were in a state of constant movement and transition, so it is unlikely that FitzRoy grew up in any one house. He was most likely transferred to household to household around London like his royal siblings: Mary, Elizabeth and Edward. In 1519 the only surviving legitimate child of the King was the three-year-old Princess Mary. In that year her household was reorganised suggesting that Henry made some provisions for his only son. Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury replaced Lady Margaret Bryan as lady Mistress of Mary’s household. At the same time at least two of Mary’s carers appear to have left her service. In a letter written after the fall of Anne Boleyn in 1536, Bryan seems to confirm that she was responsible for all of Henry’s children during their infancy: When my lady Mary was born it pleased the King’s grace [to make] me lady mistress, and made me a baroness,and so I have been a m [other to the] children his grace have had since. Unless her grammar is at fault this indicates another child between Mary and Elizabeth who was her charge in 1536. Since Edward was not yet born, that child must have been Henry FitzRoy.

In addition, the correspondence of the child’s first known tutor makes it clear that FitzRoy also received some rudimentary education, prior to his elevation to the peerage in 1525. John Palsgrave grumbled loudly that Henry had been taught to recite his prayers in a barbarous Latin accent and dismissed the man who had instructed him as no clerk. It is not impossible that Princess Mary’s household could have been reorganised some time before her former servants found posts with Henry FitzRoy.[8] Although he was more well known from 1525 and onwards, there is some evidence that he was already in receipt of royal favour even before his ennoblement, this comes from surviving list of Wardrobe stuff appointed for my lord Henry. The Lord Henry in question is not identified but given that the subject was not considered to require a title and that the list has survived with further documents relating to the household established for Henry FitzRoy after his ennoblement, it would seem reasonable to assume that it is Henry FitzRoy. The familiar way in which he is described as My Lord Henry is also interesting and suggests that, amongst the officers close to the King, at least, his existence was hardly a secret.[9] Alternatively he may have been raised in the north with his mother and her husband Gilbert Tailboys, 1st Baron Tailboys of Kyme, and their children.

Elevation

By the year of 1525, the Tudor dynasty had been on the throne for forty years. What the dynasty had to show for itself was strong government, an end to the Wars of the Roses, and a beloved King on the throne. However cracks were beginning to appear. By the sixteenth year of Henry VIII's reign, he was a thirty-four-year-old man still in his prime, however he lacked a male heir with his forty-year old wife Catherine of Aragon. Their only surviving child and heiress was Princess Mary who at the time was a girl of nine. To make matters worse Henry VIII had no younger brother nor any close male relations from his father's family. Henry VIII of course had another child, an illegitimate one, and even better the child was a sturdy six-year-old son. This child enjoyed a certain level of importance in Henry VIII's life due to the lack of male members of the family. Unlike Henry I who had a whole host of illegitimate issue to support, Henry FitzRoy was the only acknowledged bastard. Also, he was never overshadowed by legitimate siblings, as after ten years of marriage, Henry VIII could only boast about a single living daughter. Equally significant, he was also the only surviving son of the only surviving son of Henry VII. He was not overshadowed by any other male relations who could be called up to share the burden of government in the King’s name.[10] As Henry and Catherine’s marriage remained childless, the king’s only living son became more attractive for onlookers to observe.[11] The King’s chief minister at the time was Cardinal Thomas Wolsey and since Henry FitzRoy’s birth he had taken an interest in his monarch’s only son. In a correspondence from June 1525 the Cardinal makes sure to ask for the King’s son: Your entirely beloved sonne, the Lord Henry FitzRoy. In 1525, before he was to turn six, FitzRoy was given his own residence in London, which he was granted by his father Durham House on the Strand.[12] The boy had been brought up in remarkable style and comfort, almost as if he were a prince of the blood and not an acknowledged royal bastard.[7]

June 1528:- England seeks a truce with the Emperor as economic difficulties caused by the war are causing unrest with the people. [8]

June 1533: Anne Boleyn and the King were secretly married, and Wyatt served in Anne's coronation in June 1533.[9]

http://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf11/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png

The Lady Mary in 1544[10]

June 1538: Accompanied by a fleet of ships sent by James, Mary left France in June 1538, forced to leave her little son behind.[11]

June 1540: Cromwell fell from favour and was arrested for treason in June 1540; one of the unlikely charges against him was that he had plotted to marry Mary himself.[54] Anne consented to the annulment of the marriage, which had not been consummated, and Cromwell was beheaded.[55]

In 1541, Henry had the Countess of Salisbury, Mary's old governess and godmother, executed on the pretext of a Catholic plot, in which her son (Reginald Pole) was implicated.[56] Her executioner was "a wretched and blundering youth" who "literally hacked her head and shoulders to pieces".[57] In 1542, following the execution of Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, the unmarried Henry invited Mary to attend the royal Christmas festivities.[58] At court, while her father was between marriages and without a consort, Mary acted as hostess.[59] In 1543, Henry married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr, who was able to bring the family closer together.[60] Henry returned Mary and Elizabeth to the line of succession, through the Act of Succession 1544, placing them after Edward. However, both remained legally illegitimate.[61]

In 1547, Henry died and Edward succeeded as Edward VI. Mary inherited estates in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, and was granted Hunsdon and Beaulieu as her own.[62] Since Edward was still a child, rule passed to a regency council dominated by Protestants, who attempted to establish their faith throughout the country. For example, the Act of Uniformity 1549 prescribed Protestant rites for church services, such as the use of Thomas Cranmer's new Book of Common Prayer. Mary remained faithful to Roman Catholicism, and defiantly celebrated the traditional mass in her own chapel. She appealed to her cousin Charles V to apply diplomatic pressure demanding that she be able to practise her religion.[63] [12]

June 1541: - Henry VIII takes the title King of Ireland, after previously being Lord of Ireland. [13]
June 26, 1541 (23 Sivan 5301): Rabbi Jacob Pollack passed away. Born in Poland 1460, he was the first important Polish-Jewish Rabbinic scholar. Prior to his time, the great Talmudic centers had been found in Germany. He helped establish the Talmudic method of study called "Pilpul". This complicated and often hair-splitting method of explanation was originated in southern Germany. It is called mental acrobatics by some, yet is also responsible for the development of the sharp Talmudic mind. Pollack served as a Rabbi in Cracow, moved to Eretz-Israel for a period of time and returned to live in Lublin where he passed away.[14]

June 1543: Norfolk declared war on France in the King's name and was appointed Lieutenant-General of the army. [15]

June 1546: – Treaty of Ardes is signed by England and France. England gets to keep Boulogne for 6 years and France pay for it’s return. [16]

June 1546: Arrested again, she was examined in June 1546 by Martin Bowes, Lord Mayor of London.[10] Sir Anthony Kingston, the Constable of the Tower of London, was ordered to torture Askew in an attempt to force her to name others. According to her own account, and that of gaolers within the Tower, she was tortured only once. She was taken from her cell, at about ten o'clock in the morning, to the lower room of the White Tower. She was shown the rack and asked if she would name those who believed as she did. Askew declined to name anyone at all, so she was asked to remove all her clothing except her shift. Askew then climbed onto the rack and her wrists and ankles were fastened. Again, she was asked for names, but she would say nothing.[11] The wheel of the rack was turned, pulling Askew along the device and lifting her so that she was held taut about 5 inches above its bed and slowly stretched.

In her own account written from prison, Askew said she fainted from pain, and was lowered and revived.[12] This procedure was repeated twice. Kingston refused to carry on torturing her, left the tower, and sought a meeting with the king at his earliest convenience to explain his position and also to seek his pardon, which the king granted. Wriothesley and Rich set to work themselves.[11] They turned the handles so hard that Anne was drawn apart, her shoulders and hips were pulled from their sockets and her elbows and knees were dislocated. Askew's cries could be heard in the garden next to the White Tower where the Lieutenant's wife and daughter were walking. Askew gave no names, and her ordeal ended when the Lieutenant ordered her to be returned to her cell.[12] [17]

June 1547: LAWRENCE17 CRAWFORD (ROBERT16, MALCOLM15, MALCOLM14, ROGER13, REGINALD12, JOHN, JOHN, REGINALD DE CRAWFORD, HUGH OR JOHN, GALFRIDUS, JOHN, REGINALD5, REGINALD4, DOMINCUS3 CRAWFORD, REGINALD2, ALAN1) was born Abt. 1506 in Kilbirine, Scotland, and died June 1547 in Scotland. He married HELEN CAMBELL, daughter of SIR HUGH CAMBELL. [18]

June 1553: When the 15-year-old King lay dying in June 1553, he nominated Jane as successor to the Crown in his will, thus subverting the claims of his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth under the Third Succession Act.[19]

June 1557: Mary was in favour of declaring war, but her councillors opposed it because French trade would be jeopardised, it contravened the marriage treaty, and a bad economic legacy from Edward VI's reign and a series of poor harvests meant England lacked supplies and finances.[130] War was only declared in June 1557 after Reginald Pole's nephew, Thomas Stafford, invaded England and seized Scarborough Castle with French help in a failed attempt to depose Mary.[131] As a result of the war, relations between England and the Papacy became strained, since Pope Paul IV was allied with Henry II of France.[132] [20]

June 1560: Michel de l'Hôpital was appointed Chancellor of France. He sought the support of France's constitutional bodies and worked closely with Catherine to defend the law in the face of the growing anarchy.[57] Neither saw the need to punish Protestants who worshipped in private and did not take up arms[21]



June 1561: At the end of June 1561, Mary returns to the court of

her brother-in-law, and announces her determination to go to Scotland, in spite of the hostile dispositions of Queen Elizabeth. [22]

June 1563: Wars and overseas trade

Half groat of Elizabeth I

Elizabeth's foreign policy was largely defensive. The exception was the English occupation of Le Havre from October 1562 to June 1563, which ended in failure when Elizabeth's Huguenot allies joined with the Catholics to retake the port. [23]



June 1564: When the General Assembly convened in June 1564, an argument broke out between Knox and Maitland over the authority of the civil government. Maitland told Knox to refrain from stirring up emotions over Mary's insistence on having mass celebrated and he quoted from Martin Luther and John Calvin about obedience to earthly rulers. Knox retorted that the Bible notes that Israel was punished when it followed an unfaithful king and that the Continental reformers were refuting arguments made by the Anabaptists who rejected all forms of government. The debate revealed his waning influence on political events as the nobility continued to support Mary.[76] [24]

June 15, 1567: Jews of Genoa were expelled.[25]

June 15, 1567: The insurgents reach Musselburgh, and meet the Queen's forces near Carberry Hill. Bothwell wishes to resist his adversaries, but the greater portion of his troops evincing much reluctance, he abandons his plans of resistance and flees to Dunbar.



The Queen then treats with Kirkcaldy of Grange, and surrenders to him. She is conducted to Edinurgh, and remains shut up twenty-two hours in the provost's house, in the greatest bereavement. [26]



June 1568: Memorial addressed on behalf of Queen Mary to all



THE Christian Princes. [27][28]





EVENTS OF THE queen AND KINGDOM OF SCOTLAND.



Every person of sound intellect, and who without particular bias wishes to consider the truth, knows very clearly that the actions of the Earl of Murray, from the time that he was simple Prior of St. Andrews, — he began to w^eave the the troubles which happened in Scotland shortly before the Queen-regent of Scotland of pious memory died, — until now,

have been directed to no other end than to usurp the authority and government of the kingdom, whatsoever hypocrisy or simulation he may have used to colour his design ; and he who should wish to narrate all the evil deeds which he and his adherents have committed in this business, would have to make a large volume ; but to narrate briefly the latest and newest, wherein is cruelty united with fraud and unheard of malice, he should here touch on one which relates to a deed

under the shadow of which they have falsely accused their queen, and sought with the same pretext to deprive her of the crown.



The Earl of Murray in less than eight months having thrice attempted the design which he has finally accomplished, namely to make himself master of the person of the queen ; and in all these three times having failed in his design, threw himself at the feet of her majesty, who thrice pardoned him, and forgave him his fault, as she loved him because he was considered her bastard brother, and had honoured him and

conferred on liim the earldom of Murray and other great benefits ; he then, perceiving that by force alone he could not accomplish his design, because the people were always for her majesty, notwithstanding that privately since her return to Scotland he had done everything in his power, by means of the heretic clergy, to make her obnoxious, as in their sermons they publicly called her an idolatress; with those of his faction fell upon a plan the most disloyal which can be imagined to injure her majesty's honour, and not only to turn aside the people from their affection, but to subject her to their hatred and make them her enemies ; and this was, to cause the death of her majesty's husband in such an unwonted manner that they might in time throw the guilt upon her. The queen, having no idea of this treason which they conspired both against her person and her reputation, gave them express charge to make inquiry into the crime and make all search for the guilty : in which it falls not to be wondered at the little diligence they used, and how they protected themselves, both as persons who knew not what to say and pretended not to know it, when they were in the council

of her majesty assembled for that purpose, They knew well, that were her majesty long at liberty she would have them discovered and would be revenged on them, and would have inflicted upon them the due punishment of this and their other iniquities ; and therefore, pretending a new friendship with the Earl of Bothwell, whom they hated to death, they

pretended to be content that he should be the husband of the queen, and produced a writing, subscribed by them, declaring that this would be for the greatest advantage to the kingdom ; and with this they persuaded him to seize upon the person of her majesty, and make himself protector. Therefore, one day that the queen went in a measure unattended to see her son, he assailed her in the street with many of his retainers, and with fine words and with representations that

her majesty was in most eminent danger, conducted her to one of his castles ; which being seen by some, on a sudden, under colour of wishing to defend her and liberate her from the tyranny of the said earl, they took arms, and drew to their side some of the too credulous, thinking that this was for the service of her majesty, as they have since declared, seeing the end of the enterprise ; and thus, believing

with a few troops they might match with the said earl, they went to seek her at the house of my Lord Borthwick, from which she, dreading their violence, was forced to save herself near Dunbar. In the meanwhile, they increased their forces by saying that it was to rescue her majesty from the hands and tyranny of the said earl ; which her majesty seeing, and not being safe to place herself in their hands until, not having well understood what they demanded, she called some

of her subjects and went to the field, sent to speak with some of their nobles and they to her, and, after long parley, declaring that they sought no other thing than the liberty of her majesty, they promised, if she placed herself in their hands, to make their troops withdraw, and they should carry her with them as their lawful sovereign, not desiring other than to serve and honour her. On which promises and words her majesty caused her people to retire, being unwilling to

see the blood of her subjects flow, and so placed herself in their hands ; but no sooner was this done, than, contrary to the pledge given, and contrary to the duty of subjects, and contrary to the promise which they had made, they put her in a very close prison in the middle of a lake, whence nobody, that either wished her well or that desired equity or justice, could go, without leaving her one of her lords, alleging, to mislead the people, that she was guilty of the death of her husband, and forthwith they took possession of the castles, houses, artillery, munitions, gold, silver, jewels, moveables,

vases, vestments, and everything belonging to her majesty, turning all to their private advantage, and the establishment of their tyrannical usurpation ; under cover of which they caused to be crowned the prince, the queen''s son, declaring him to be king, who in age had scarcely completed one year, and assigned to him for his governor the Earl of Murray, their head and protector, limiting the period of his government to seventeen years, which is as much as to say for all his life and that of his posterity, were that possible. By which act they openly

came to declare the queen innocent of the crime for which they said to have imprisoned her ; because if she had committed the treason, as they rashly allege, of the death of her husband, in what manner could they make her son king? and by what manner could he succeed ? since the kingdom could not pertain to him, except by reason of the law and not

of the father, who in such case would not be recognized except as a foreigner and a native Englishman, or, indeed, as a subject, from her majesty having restored his father to the earldom of Lennox. They are too crafty and cautious to be mistaken in this, nor must it be believed that they know not well what they do ; but this is to beguile the people for some time, and, after that they have deposed the queen, they will also drive out the son by alleging the crime of the mother : and then they will openly disclose what they now seek to keep concealed.

Matters being gone through in this manner, they did not consider themselves as yet sufficiently sure of this administration, from not having the consent of the queen ; and, therefore, they threatened her with death, if she did not approve with her subscription the act made by them of the coronation of the son, and of the election of the Earl of Murray to the government of the kingdom. Therefore, her majesty, finding herself a prisoner, and being surely apprised that by refusing

it they would put her to death, was constrained, in order to save her life, to subscribe what they wished; but taking thereto as witnesses George Douglas and Kobert Melvil, as commanded by her majesty to this effect, that the subscription which she made was forced and against her will, and for that reason of none avail.



The Earl of Murray at that time was still in France, whither he had gone until the conspiracy devised by his accomplices should be executed ; and the motive of his journey was for two reasons, the one to throw every suspicion on her majesty, to the end that, having no fear of him, she might fall more easily into the hands of his troops; the other

to make the people believe that the cruelty which they used towards the queen did not proceed from him, and that he accepted the government solely for the public good, because he well knew that in absence this charge would be given to him, and the better to palliate this deed. At his return, which was immediately after the execution of the design, he affected to make some difficulty in taking the office until that he was

in the presence of the queen, to have (as he said) the free consent of her majesty from her own lips, and therefore he went to see her in the castle of Lochleven, where she was imprisoned ; but he, knowing that her majesty sought to persuade him not to accept of the government, and that she had still some confidence in him, believing that he would show himself towards her as he ought, from being esteemed and reputed her bastard brother, pulled off the mask by replying that he had already accepted the charge, and that it was no longer time to excuse himself. Now it may be seen by this second action how they themselves declare the queen innocent of the crime laid to her charge ; because, if she had committed the treason of which they impudently accuse her, what

was the worth of the subscription which they had caused her to make ? And, in having, as they had, adjudged her majesty innocent, there was no need of their thinking to authorize their proceedings with the subscription, since it had been done by force, against her will, and for fear of death. Further, in the pretended assembly of the states, where the greater part of the nobility that were not mixed up with their actions did not deign to appear, there were found some few who

publicly protested the nullity of all which they did in prejudice

of the Catholic religion and of the queen ; some fearing for their lives, and others in consequence of the above-mentioned subscription of her majesty, subscribed it, declaring, however, that if thereafter it should be found that this was contrary to the will of the queen, it should be of none avail ; although many that wei^e not their adherents were importunate, and demanded that her majesty should be conducted there, to the end that she might freely speak in the presence of her subjects; and likewise that she should be urgently besought with all speed to make investigation of the crime which was imputed to her, and that it ought not to be permitted that she should be accused in a public assembly if she were not allowed to defend her cause, or wished other advocate than herself, they would not consent to it. It is very

true that the Earls of Atholl and Tullibardine, two of the leaders of the design, to whom her majesty found means to send some one for this purpose, replied that they would not be disinclined themselves, but that the others would never permit it ; and thus her majesty could not obtain favour from her cruel rebels that her defence might be heard,

a circumstance which openly showed their calumny and malice, because they could not allege any excuse that availed them. Thus, seeing themselves the patrons of everything, nor anything more awanting that they could fear, they established their pretended authority, as also their religion, and prohibited the ancient Roman Catholic, under pain of death ; and for the rest have done as they wished, without other

contradiction than the protest aforesaid. To conclude, this fine assembly, to continue to pretend their innocence to the people, made a show of searching diligently and prosecuting the murderers of her majesty's husband, which, if it had been done as agreed, would have been begun by many of them, as by their own hand- writing could be verified : but knowing it well among them, and favouring both, they were unwilling to go so far, and caused to be hanged some poor people, to the number of û\e or six, who, notwithstanding anything which these wicked impostors might have done to suborn them, in going to death acquitted the queen of the aforesaid sin, and accused the accomplices of the said Earl of Murray, persisting in this declaration even to death, without ever in any way changing or varying it, of which all the kingdom of Scotland is a witness, a circumstance which has entirely

placed the innocence of her majesty beyond any doubt;*[29] and yet for all that she has been detained almost a year in prison, with such treatment as God knows.



At this time they very often intended to put her to death, and they would have done so had they not been afraid of so far letting the world know their treachery and their malice, and of raising against them the people, who daily began to be sensible of their fraud and hypocrisy. Then, not having courage to attempt this last excess, they have often attempted to make her majesty forsake the Catholic religion and em-

brace their own, promising and assuring her that she should be restored to her rights; which her majesty has always denied and refused to do, saying explicitly that she would sooner, together with her liberty and crown, lose her life, than fail in one iota of her religion, in which consisted her soul's safety. They had intended to hold another parliament in the month of June [15]68, summoning to it all the nobility of the kingdom, to procure which was committed to the Earl of

Murray and his accomplices, to judge of this calumny alleged by them against the queen, a thing truly reasonable, as all the world may know that he and his would be judges and parties against her majesty ! but God, by his goodness and mercy, has destroyed this their wicked design, permitting that in the midst of it her majesty should get out of prison, and in a miraculous manner escape from their cruel hands,

in which she knows that God willed that she should receive this chastisement for the too great clemency which she had used in remitting and pardoning too often the disloyalty and treasons committed by them.

Sinc^he release of her majesty, a great part of the nobility who had not sided with her enemies, and likewise some of those who had, but seeing their evil behaviour had left them, withdrew with her ; whereby their number was greater than that of the rebels, because with them were not more than eight or nine persons of repute. Nevertheless, her majesty not desiring the blood of any of her subjects, sent to the said

rebels a knight of the order of the most Christian king, who had been sent by his most Christian majesty into Scotland to procure the release of the queen,*[30] and caused him to say to them that if they would abandon their proceedings, and acknowledge her as their princess, by restoring to her her wonted authority, that, for her part, she would truly forget

everything past, and remit and pardon them ; to which they lished shortly after the execution of these unfortunate persons, obstinately refused to accede, saying that they would recognize no other authority than that which had been instituted by their parliament, and approved by the subscription of the queen ; showing themselves determined in their resolution to hold fast to this, notwithstanding that it was already notorious to all, that as a thing done perforce and through fear, her majesty had by public proclamation revoked it. Which offer being refused, and her majesty seeing that there was no chance of

agreement, resolved to retire within the castle of Dumbarton, to keep herself in safety, in order that without effusion of blood (if it were possible) she might have her kingdom reunited ; but while on the way, there being a river between her and her rebels, they coasted along it with a great number of musketeers, besides many other soldiers, who attacked those of her majesty, who were but few, and, having killed

several, compelled her to change her purpose and take another road. And, seeing that she could not gain any secure place in her kingdom, her majesty resolved, by the advice of her council, to go into England, as its queen had many times promised to assist her ; and hoped that she would do it, as well for the relationship which is between their majesties as because the said Queen of Scotland was so unjustly and ill

treated by her rebellious subjects. The example of which not only concerned the Queen of England, but all other sovereigns likewise.



The queen having thus retired into England, the rebellious subjects and usurpers of her authority, persisting more and more in their perverse and disloyal design, have formed an army, with which they go here and there, killing and making prisoners all her majesty's faithful subjects upon whom they can lay hands ; and, when they do not find them, they burn, pillage, and pull down their houses, and employ every act of

cruel enmity against them ; so that, after having in the first instance destroyed and levelled with the earth so many beautiful and rich buildings of churches and monasteries, they now, by destroying the castles and palaces of the nobility, will at last have ruined the whole kingdom, with so much injury and loss to the commonwealth as can with difficulty and length of time be repaired.



Such is the work of this bastard, who, by this his last action, has clearly shewn himself to have been always a participant in the conspiracy, since his pretended innocence, which he feigned before the eyes of the simple and ignorant people, alleging that what he did was in consequence of the aforesaid subscription, can no longer be maintained, seeing her majesty has publicly revoked it, as by right she could do, and along with it has revoked all which has followed in consequence of it. And as, since the said revocation, he has shewn every cruel and abominable contempt for this lady his queen, and for her authority, so all the fine colours and pretences of his hypocrisy

and falsehood fail, proving to all that he is ungrateful, disloyal, and wicked ; as are also guilty his accomplices and adherents who follow him, since, after having received so many benefits and honours from her majesty as have made them greater than all others of Scotland, they give in return treasons and cruelties, in having laid hands on the person of her majesty their sovereign, deprived her of the crown to which she succeeded by the ordinance of God, and by lawful succession ; and, after having falsely imputed a crime to her, not giving her even room for justifying herself and declaring her rights, which would not be denied by Turks and barbarians to the vilest man on earth.



Her majesty believes that there can be no Christian sovereign of opinion that such things are permissable to subjects, and that there will be found few subjects who would approve of them, unless it be some one of the same nature as themselves, and who have an understanding with those whom they endeavour to cloak and excuse, in order to be able with this example to do the like. With this consideration her majesty

has gone to England, where she now is, expecting, for the reasons aforesaid, assistance and favour from this queen ; but as yet she has no other prospect except of being deceived in this expectation, fearing that the said Queen of England may be dissuaded from giving her any assistance by some member of her council who favours these rebels. And,

therefore, finding herself in such affliction, her majesty entreats all the Christian princes, by the love which they bear to our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom they hold their places and kingdoms, and by the reverence in which they have his holy Church, and lastly by the regard which they have to their own preservation and that of their posterity, to afford her some assistance in this her very grievous affliction ; finding herself oppressed so cruelly by the disloyalty and treasons of

such wicked and unjust subjects ; so that this detestable and abominable deed may not rest unpunished, and pass into an example ; on the contrary, that by this, other subjects may know that their revolting against their superiors is the common quarrel of all princes, by being a thing contrary to all good laws and good customs ; otherwise, by the toleration of this daring presumption, there is no doubt that many will wish to imitate these people in this, as they have already done in other things, and that the insolence of the others will exceed if possible that of theirs. [31]



June 15, 1567: Originally Mary believed that many nobles supported her marriage, but things soon turned sour between the newly elevated Bothwell (created Duke of Orkney and consort of the Queen) and his old peers, and the marriage was deeply unpopular. Catholics considered the marriage unlawful, since they did not recognise Bothwell's divorce or the validity of the Protestant service. Both Protestants and Catholics were shocked that Mary should marry the man accused of murdering her husband.[131] The marriage was tempestuous, and Mary became despondent.[132] Twenty-six Scottish peers, known as the confederate lords, turned against Mary and Bothwell, raising an army against them. Mary and Bothwell confronted the lords at Carberry Hill on June 15, but there was no battle as Mary's forces dwindled away through desertion during negotiations.[133] Bothwell was given safe passage from the field, and the lords took Mary to Edinburgh, where crowds of spectators denounced her as an adulteress and murderer.[134] The following night, she was imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle, on an island in the middle of Loch Leven[32]

June 15, 1568: Middlemore goes to join Murray at Dumfries, and delivers to him a letter from Elizabeth, who tells him that he is accused of high treason against the Queen of Scotland, his sovereign, and that he is required to go to York, to justify himself before a commission named for that purpose. [33]



June 1569: Norfolk, Sussex, Arundel, Pembroke, Lumley, and even Leicester, write to Mary on the subject of the marriage proposed between her and the Duke of Norfolk. She gives her consent to it,

on condition that they shall procure the annulment of her marriage wdth Bothwell.



About this time, the Earl of Shrewsbury having been taken ill. Sir Francis Knollys remained for some weeks with the Queen of Scotland.



About this time also were renewed, between the Duke of Alva and Mary, the negotiations of the marriage which they wished her to contract with

Don John of Austria. John Hamilton, Lord Seaton, and Raulet, made frequent visits to Flanders concerning it. It appears, however, that the Scottish Queen never seriously contemplated that marriage,

and that she only sought thereby to procure the support of Philip II, in order to regain her liberty. [34]

Mid-June 1574: Upon learning of the death of his brother, the king Of France Charles IX, Henry left Poland and headed back to France.[18] [35]

June 1575 and July 1575: Mary resided at the baths of Buxton. She there met with Burleigh, at which Elizabeth took great umbrage. [36]

June 15, 1580: Phillip II of Spain declares William I, Prince of Orange, to be an outlaw. William led the Dutch revolt against the Spanish that started the Eighty Years War, which ended in 1648 with recognition of the independence of the United Provinces (aka The Netherlands). The Netherlands were Protestant and they provided a refuge for the Jews of Europe including those fleeing the Spanish Inquisition begun by Phillip’s predecessors and continued by his successors.[37]

June 1582: They obtain the consent of Mary and the Scottish cabinet ; and the King of Spain and the Pope then promise to assist them, in the execution of their design, by large contributions. [38]



June 15, 1582: Mary again goes to the baths at Buxton. [39]



June 1584, Mary returns to the baths at Buxton. [40]

June 1586: By Lady Janet Stewart (1508–1563), the illegitimate daughter of James IV of Scotland:[16]

Henri d'Angoulême (1551 – June 1586). He was legitimized and became governor of Provence. [41]



June 1586: Mary received a letter from Morgan,f[42] in which he informed her that he had heard from Babington on the preceding evening, and that this gentleman complained bitterly that the Queen of Scots would not employ him as he wished her to do. Morgan himself expostulated with Mary on this pointy and sent her the draft of a letter^ which he urged her to write to Babington."^ [43]

June 15, 1623: Cornelis de Witt was killed by an angry mob from the monarchist, Orangist-Calvinist faction. De Witt and his brother had admired the works of Spinoza. News of his death was quite disturbing for Spinoza since it could presage the rise of a conservative faction that would not be tolerant of unconventional thinkers like himself.[44]

June 15, 1690: Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors)[edit]

The Hall of Mirrors.

The galerie des glaces (Hall of Mirrors in English), is perhaps the most celebrated room in the château of Versailles. Setting for many of the ceremonies of the French Court during the Ancien Régime, the galerie des glaces has also inspired numerous copies and renditions throughout the world.

The room was built June 15, in 1690. [45]



Under the orders of the Governor of New France, Marquis de la Galissonière, Céloron led an expedition of the Ohio Valley starting June 15, 1749 claiming the land for Louis XV of France and instructing the Indians to break-off any relations with the English colonies. He planted a series of lettered lead plates approximately 7-1/2”x11” on the face and maybe 1/8” thick. The trip required five months of difficult travel and covered around 3,000 miles.

In general, Captain Céloron followed a route from near Montreal up the St Lawrence River across Lake Ontario up the portage at the Niagara River around the falls into Lake Erie west to around Barcelona, NY where he made a seven-day portage to Chautauqua Lake[46] and then down to the Allegheny River into the Ohio River all the way to the Miami River (Cincinnati)—up the Miami, portaging into the Maumee and then up to the French fort at Detroit. He then rowed across Lake Erie and back up to Montreal.

"Celoron's Expedition. In 1749 a French force under Celoron de Blainville entered the Ohio valley by way of Chautauqua Lake and Conewango Creek. A lead plate was buried at the mouth of the Conewango claiming the area for France.

"Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission."

Céloron appears to have planted his first plate at Conewango Indian Town (Conewango Creek at Warren), and then a plate at the mouth of each large river he met along the way (Kanawha, Muskingum, Great Miami, French Creek—at Franklin, PA, etc.). The number is not certain—presumably 12-15.The plate from the mouth of the Muskingum River is held by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, MA. The size of Céloron’s military force is believed to approximate 200-240: six subaltern officers (officers under the rank of captain), six cadets, twenty troupes de la marine, 180 militiamen, and perhaps 20-30 Indians. Included in the group were Father Bonnecamps, Phillipe and Chabert Joncaire, Pierre de Contrecoeur, and Coulon de Jumonville. When Céloron stopped at Logstown, he was met by ten English traders along with a large assembly of “Ohio River Indians.” Ceéloron expressed displeasure with an English flag floating from a pole. He got a scare when the old Shawnee chief, Kakowatchiky, didn’t appreciate a Frenchman claiming the land for his King and suggested to his people that they “shoot him.”

When Céloron got back to Montreal he reported on the considerable English presence in the area and the generally hostile attitude of the Indians towards the French. He related his findings to Governor la Galissonière. This was in no small part the genesis of the French advance into the Ohio Valley starting with the building of a fort at Presqu’isle. The French realized the Ohio River Valley could easily become overrun by traders from PA and VA. If the French were to preserve the Ohio Valley for Louis XV, they would have to act before the clumsy colonial assemblies of the English.

Céloron had probably no more than gotten back to Montreal before a Cayuga chief presented William Johnson with one of the plates they had taken from a French agent near Niagara. Johnson forwarded the plate to Governor Clinton of NY who passed it on to London. It took the British little time to understand French intentions.

The name Pierre-Joseph Céloron de Blainville appears again in 1779 as the name of a British agent in the upper Wabash River area pursued by George Rogers Clark. The relationship to the original Céloron is unclear, but is perhaps a reminder that French Canadians moved into the British camp in great numbers in opposition to the American rebels.[47]



June 15, 1775

In Philadelphia[48], George Washington is chosen Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.[49]



June 15, 1776

The controversy over the western boundary line between the two provinces was a live issue for several years, and as early as June 15, 1776, the Virginia Convention at Williamsburg took the following action:

“Resolved, That it be proposed to the General Assembly or Representatives of the people of the Province of Pennsylvania, to agree to the following temporary boundary between the two countries, that is to say:

“From that part of the meridian at the head fountain of Potomack where it is intersected by Braddock’s Road, along the said road to the Great Crossing of Youghiogheny; thence down the meanders of that river to the Chestnut Ridge, thence along that ridge to the eastern branch of Jacob’s Creek, otherwise called Green Lick Run; thence down the said run to Braddock’s old Road; thence along the same and the new road leading to Pittsburgh, to a place called Bullock Penns, now in the tenure of William Elliott, and from thence a direct course to Plum Run on the Allegheny River, above Colonel Croghan’s; . . .



What a fine gesture that was to place the plantations of Justices Thomas Gist and William Crawford, Colonel Washington, Colonel Croghan, Providence Mounts and others under the jurisdiction of Virginia, as well as all of the lands about Fort Pitt. Pennsylvania, however, did not accept the gesture. Perhaps this imaginary line was that on either side of which the pioneers took their legal troubles to Hannastown, or to Heathtown, for adjustment. And it was likely the one dividing the taxable area for the time being. The Westmoreland County court, and the Yohogania County court, continued to function regularly, apparently without much overlapping jurisdiction during the most active years of the Revolution.[50]





“Extract of a letter from Fort Pitt, June 15, 1782:

‘A party of volunteers, to the number of 400, under the command of Colonel William Crawford, formed a plan of surprising the upper town of Sandusky. We marched the 24th of May (May 24) from the Mingo Bottom, on the Ohio river, with the utmost precaution and secrecy, through the woods, but were unfortunately discovered by some skulking Indians on crossing the Muskingum [TuscarawaS] river. ~otwithstanding our small number, we con­tinued our march and met the enemy on the 4th of June in the plains of Sandusky a few miles from their town where they had sufficient time to collect their own forces and alarm the adjacent nations. A hot action ensued, which lasted from 4 o’clock P. M., until sunset. Both parties obstinately contended for an advantageous piece of ground, from which we drove the enemy with the loss of several scalps. We had 5 killed and 19 wounded in this action. The firing began at day-break on the 5th, and continued all day. Our party were so encumbered with their wounded that the whole day was spent in their care, in defending our guard, and in preparing for a vigorous attack the suc­ceeding night. In the afternoon, a large body of mounted rangers and 200 Shawanese arrived to their relief. As this succor rendered the enemy so vastly superior to us and as all their forces lay in a circuit of 50 miles, who were hourly pouring in numbers, prudence dictated a retreat. This was effected on the morning of the 6th, with so much regularity that none of our wounded were left. The enemy pursued us twenty miles to the end of the plains and attempted to hinder us from entering the woods. This brought on a hot ac­tion for an hour, in which the enemy suffered so much, that they never after­wards attempted to molest us on our march. We had three killed and six wounded in this action. It is impossible for me to ascertain the loss of the enemy which was very considerable. Ours amounted in killed and missing to 30. Among the latter, Colonel Crawford.[51]

June 15, 1776: A committee of prominent citizens met at Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, on June 15, 1776, in order to make arrangements for a convention anticipating the separation of the colonies from Great Britain. Attendants were asked by the committee "to choose such persons only to act for them in the ensuing convention as are distinguished for wisdom, integrity, and a firm attachment to the liberties of this province."[2][52]

Memorial from Fayette County, 1784



Fayette County, June 15, 1784

To his Excellency John Dickingson, Esquire, President of ye Supreme Exe cutive Council.

Honrd Sr. The Inhabitants of Stewart’s Crossings beg leave to represent your Excellency; That we were much surpriz’d on being presented with ye Copy of a Letter byy one of your worthy members, which was sent to your Excellency, informing you that a considerable number of ye Inhabitants (formerly Virginias), in opposition to the Laws and Government of this State, have now turned out open Robbers. We are happy that we have it in our power to present this to your Excellency by the hands of a Gentlemean, whom we hope will do us the Honr to state us umpartially in our fair character without respect of parties, as this Gentleman is well acquainted with ye circumstance of ye whole matter in doing us the Honour of accompanying us in going in search of those Robbers and suppressing such Burglars. We acknowledge we were brought up under ye Government of Virginia, and were ruled by that Government while the Territorial Disputes subsisted between the two States, But when they thought proper to adjust ye Boundaries, we were willing to submit to ye Laws of Pennsylvania, and hope you Excellency will find us as true Citizens as any belonging to ye State, as we have made it evident on every occasionl We have always been willing to tisque our all in the glorious cause we havfe been so long contending for, which we can make manifest by Sundery Gentlemen who are as fully acquainted with us as the author of that Letter which was sent to your Excellency. And amongst others, Col McClene who has suffered on fatigue, with those who seem at present to be the objects of such malevolent ridicule without the least reason. ‘We were happyu in believing that all party matters were buried in oblivion, but are greatly concerned to find the contrary. Col. Hays has related in another letter to our Excellency, that those who bore the Burden of ye War must now be ruled over by those who are Enemies in their Hearts to ye State. We would appeal to ye knowledge and Candour of the several officers who have commanded in this Department, whether the people thus stigmatized hav been more backward in defense of our common rights than any of our neighbours. We must beg your Excellency’s pardon, for makingf so free, from ye most intolerable character your Excellency had of us, but we shall rever you to that worthy Gentleman Major Douglass,, who is rather better acquainted with us than Col. Hays. So makes bold to subscribe ourselves your Excellency’s most obedient and humble servants.

About James Knox Polk, President

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_K._Polk

James Knox Polk (pronounced /ˈpoʊk/ POKE; November 2, 1795 – June 15, 1849) was the 11th President of the United States (1845–1849). Polk was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He later lived in and represented the state of Tennessee. A Democrat, Polk served as Speaker of the House (1835–1839) and Governor of Tennessee (1839–1841). Polk was the surprise ("dark horse") candidate for president in 1844, defeating Henry Clay of the rival Whig Party by promising to annex Texas. Polk was a leader of Jacksonian Democracy during the Second Party System.

Polk was the last strong pre-Civil War president. Polk is noted for his foreign policy successes. He threatened war with Britain then backed away and split the ownership of the Oregon region (the Pacific Northwest) with Britain. When Mexico rejected American annexation of Texas, Polk led the nation to a sweeping victory in the Mexican–American War, followed by purchase of California, Arizona, and New Mexico. He secured passage of the Walker tariff of 1846, which had low rates that pleased his native South. He established a treasury system that lasted until 1913.

Polk oversaw the opening of the U.S. Naval Academy and the Smithsonian Institution, the groundbreaking for the Washington Monument, and the issuance of the first postage stamps in the United States.

He promised to serve only one term and did not run for reelection. He died of cholera three months after his term ended.

Scholars have ranked him favorably on the list of greatest presidents for his ability to set an agenda and achieve all of it. Polk has been called the "least known consequential president" of the United States.

June 15, 1857: Joseph V. Goodlove - Age 23 - (son of Conrad who died June 15, 1857, also buried in Oakshade Cemetery in Marion, Iowa).

According to my letter from Dorothy Nordgren, Cora had told her that “Conrad and group used a farm wagon pulled by a team of oxen. Conrad had a riding horse. William Harrison Goodlove had a pile of belongings and was ready to put in wagon. Conrad said to him and others “Are you going to carry these in a sack on your back?” “Well, they had to leave most behind as the boys walked on hills to lighten load. Just tools and essentials came. His wife, Cordelia, had a bedroom dresser shipped by railway later and oval mirror. (Dorothy has it.) she added in her letter.

Also in her letter Dorothy says that Cora told her, “They crossed the Mississippi near Dubuque”.

In talking about Oscar Goodlove, the missing son of William Harrison Goodlove, she made reference to Conrad. “He (Oscar) like Conrad liked horses and would be happy caring for them “. Ref#__.

In respect to Dorothy Norgren for her effort, I have enclosed all of her letter. It was as a result of visiting with Dorothy at the funeral home, Ref. # ___, that she sent me this information. A few days later I visited the Kentucky State Library and Historical Center in Frankfort -- and the search for Conrad and Caty began![58]



June 15, 1862: In 1861, John Hanson McNeil formed and was named commander of a company in the Missouri State Guard, seeing action in Boonville, Carthage, Wilson's Creek, and Lexington. Although captured and imprisoned in St. Louis, he escaped on June 15, 1862, and made his way back to Virginia.

In Richmond, he obtained permission to form an independent unit in the western counties of West Virginia and Virginia in order to disrupt Union activities in the area. [59]

The more radical republican elements of the 24th were delighted to learn that the 33rd U. S. Colored Infantry regiment was relieving them. Even Lucas was impressed with their military bearing when they arrived on June 15. Originally organized by General Hunter, they were the first Negro regiment accepted from South Carolina. Rigby delighted in the fact that the arrival of the 33rd had produced a sensation among the whites which bordered on the ridiculous. While the white population cursed, the black population gathered to watch their brothers in bliue drill under the command of their white officers. The regimen’s flag was appropriately inscribed “The Year of Jubilee has come.” [62]

June 15, 1942

On his return to Paris from the Berlin meeting, Dannecker meets with Louis Darquier de Pellepoix, Vich’s new Commissioner for Jewish Questions, who doubts that tens of thousands of Jews will be delivered from the Unoccupied Zone. At Knochen’s request, Dannecker draws up a three month plan for the arrest and depotation of 39,000 Jews (15,000 from the Paris area, 15,000 from the Occupied Zone outside Paris, and the rest from the Unoccupied Zone). These figures are the basis for what will be known as a three month plan for deportation of 40,000 Jews.[66]



In his initial plan for the roundups on June 15, Dannecker wrote of the “transplantation: of the Jews, “with, in perspective, the possibility of later sending the children under 16 years of age who have been left behind.” But on July 4, according to DANNECKER; “Premier Laval has proposed that at the time of the evacuation of Jewish families from the Unoccupied Zone, their children be taken as well. As for the Jewish children who would remain in the Occupied Zone, the question does not interest him.”



Thus Laval proposes to the Germans the deportation of entire families without a minimum age limit; he leaves to the Nazis the responsibility and therefore a free hand to decide ondeportation of children under 16 whose parent will be arrested in the Occupied Zone and deported. These are children who, as he well knows, are for the most part French, even if to an anti-Semite Jewish children born in France to foreign parents are, in the words of Xavier Vallat, the first Vichy Commissioner for Jewish Questions, “only trainees in French nationality.”



What are Laval’s motives? He explains them at a cabinet meeting in Vichy on July 10: “With humane intentions, the head of government obtained agreement, contrary to the initial German terms, that children, including those under 16, would be permitted to accompany their parents.”Laval’s humanitarian intentions may be doubted.[67]





June 15-18, 1942: Ten thousand more Tarnow Jews are deported to Belzec, and many more Jews are murdered in the vicinity of Tarnow.[68]



June 15, 1944: Enterprise pilots gave direct support to the landings on Saipan on June 15, and covered the troops ashore for the next two days.

Aware of a major Japanese attempt to break up the invasion of Saipan, Admiral Spruance, now Commander 5th Fleet, positioned TF 58 to meet the threat.[69]

June 15, 1961 SS-100-X - the new Presidential limousine that JFK will ride in during

the Dallas motorcade - is delivered to the White House today. It has been built by the Lincoln-

Mercury Division of the Ford Motor Company. It was assembled in their Wixom, Michigan plant.

SS-100-X started out as a 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible. At the Experimental Garage at

the Ford Proving Grounds, the car was stretched 41 inches and the frame was strengthened to

accommodate the additional length and weight. The car was then shipped to Hess and

Eisenhardt where it was upholstered. Nothing about the original SS-100-X is bulletproof or

bullet-resistant in any way. The windshield is a standard two-ply safety glass windshield for

which a replacement could be found at any Lincoln dealership or any automotive glass

[46] Chautauqua. Lake in western New York State used in the ten-mile overland portage between Lake Erie and Chautauqua Lake (Lac Chatakoin). After the portage, one could row across Chautauqua Lake to an outlet (near Jamestown, NY) into the Chadakoin River and Conewango Creek to the Allegheny River at Conewango (Warren, PA). Céloron de Blainville followed this route in 1749. The portage to the Allegheny River was shortly thereafter given-up in favor of the Presqu’isle route due to the more favorable harbor at Presqu’isle.
