On this day, May 13, 2024, I John Presco found….The Beautiful Bohemian Couple Grant.
Universities all over the world get monies from the private sector and create grants for single people. But being single is not the ideal – is it? What is not ideal is to see whole cities lying in ruin after being bombed – resulting in many civilian deaths. These bombs are expensive. There is no end game – with good results. Lindsey Graham is full of it when he says Israel will be no more if we don’t give Israel billions. How many Jewish billionaires are there? There were no billionaires when Eisenhower was President. My kin encouraged him to take up art.
This morning I found this incredibly beautful American car on the web. The owner said it was built in 1948 for GIs who came home from killing Nazis and Japs. They were around 24 years of age. They wanted to meet, her – and had met her. Now they wanted to see America together. Some went to college, while most got married. They bought a home on the GI Bill.
I was 24 when I rescued Rena Easton born Irene Victoria Christensen. She lied about her age when we went camping for fifty days. She was 17, the age of consent in Nebraska. She grew up in Grand Island and got A+ in everything. She got a scholarship at the University of Nebraska. I dropped out of High School. I owned a 1950 Dodge Coronet just like the one above. I was on SSI because I suffer from PTSD. So does Rena, but, we didn’t know it at the time. Our Bohemian Camping Adventure was funded by the U.S. Government.
In 1970 our peers were still being drafted to fight against poor peasants and farmers in Vietnam. Tens of thousand of college students got a deferment. Most of the young meant who died in Vietnam were 18. They did not meet The One, get married, have children, and create a western Dynasty. Not many Americans do.
A hald hour ago I found the statement by Ackman encouraging fellow Jews with money to not hire those student who are practicing Our Natural Human Empathy in regards to the horrific bombing of Gaza resulting in thousands of civilian casualties. Ackman is Ashkenazi Jew, and gives millions to Jewish causes, such as the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute where Jews can trace their lineage, which has been a problem due to The Holocaust, that was the result of the Nazis claiming Jews used their money as a weapon to hurt Germany – and fifty million Germans! WTF?
When I woke this morning I thought about the terrible fate of the British Expeditionary Force. If it had been successful, million of Jews could have saved. My Nation stayed out of the war for as long as it could. Then came Pearl Harbor. Since October 7th. I have posted on the idea many Jews hate America for not doing more. And, many Jews hate blacks, lesbians, and others who compete with them to be seen as the Perfect Victim. The Palestinians have been attacking this TITLE since…….1933? The Stern Gang assassinated the head of the UN when he wrote in a White Paper the Jews will not get along with their neighbors – because they were already networking to get ll the civil service jobs. The Zionists asked Hitter for aid, and in return would help kill British officers.
Bill Ackman and Ken Griffin do not know who founded Harvard. My 8th. Grandfather was born at Windsor where his father William is buried, about ten feet from William and Harry Windsor got marrid. John Wilson was the Puritan Leader who instgated the building Harvard.
I’m running as a right-in President of the United States. If I get elected I will try to tax all Americans who own dual-citizenship, and make it a crime to go fight the Palestinians. I will harry the Supreme Court to pass my ‘Right To Empathy Law’. Whey make a Right to Life Law, if the humans that are born from a woman’s womb, are to be punished for feeling empathy – for all humanity? Feeling the pain of others begins when a child feels their mother’s pain while she is giving birth. Is getting an abortion legal in Israel?
God’s first Commandment is….”Be fruitful and multiply”. For a very wealthy Jew to wish any American an un-fruitful and poor life – is evil! Consider Job. Below is my solution to the riddle of the Boy Born Blind. The Sanhedrim made a law that said anyone born with a defect – WAS A BORN SINNER – and thus no rabbi need minister to that child! Jesus reviled this fake law because he was disgusted at the sight of rich Jews bringing their rich Roman friends into the temple. We are not a Jewish Nation!
Repent!
Every other day, Rena and went in my Coronet I named ‘General Eisenhower’ into the Redwood Cathedral to get to the river where we swam, and, back to our campsite. I made all the dinners. I treated Rena…..like royalty. In her letter she sent ten years ago, she said…..”I am a janitor.” My painting of Renea inspired my sister to take up art, and she became the famous ‘Rosamond’.

Scaling the Ivy Wall: The Jewish and Asian American Experience in Harvard Admissions
On October 8, 2023, following the onset of the Israel–Hamas war after the Hamas-led attack on Israel, several Harvard undergraduate student groups signed a letter condemning the Israeli state. The statement held the “Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” declared that millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been “forced to live in an open-air prison,” and called on Harvard to “take action to stop the ongoing annihilation of Palestinians.”
In response, Ackman called for the publication of the names of all students involved in signing the letter so that he could ensure his company and others do not “inadvertently hire” any of the signatories. Ackman posted, “One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists,” and the names “should be made public so their views are publicly known”.[84] Ackman’s stance was supported by other CEOs such as Jonathan Neman, David Duel and Jake Wurzak.[85] Former Harvard president Lawrence Summers, though agreeing with Ackman on the need to look at employees’ political views, called Ackman’s request for a list of names “the stuff of Joe McCarthy“

Harvard’s “Jewish Problem”
A hundred years ago, getting into Harvard and other elite schools wasn’t so difficult, at least by modern standards. In the early 1920s, colleges accepted almost all applicants who passed a required entrance exam, which wasn’t particularly demanding. At the time, applicants to these institutions largely were affluent white students from prominent boarding schools.
But a curious development began to unfold. Thanks to an increase in immigration early in the century, the nation’s Jewish population ballooned, especially in the Northeast. Smart and upwardly mobile, Jewish students sought places at elite colleges. In 1900, 7% of students at Ivy League schools were Jewish. By 1922, that figure had jumped to 21.5%.
Two years later, Harvard’s Jewish population was 25%.
Lawrence Lowell, Harvard’s president, suddenly had a “Jewish problem.” He feared the presence of too many Jewish students would cause wealthy Protestant families to choose other colleges over Harvard.
Bill Ackman’s Campaign Against Harvard Followed Years of Resentment
The billionaire investor has mounted a high-profile battle against Harvard president Claudine Gay over antisemitism and threats to Jewish students on campus, but long-held personal grudges play a part, too.
By Maureen Farrell and Rob Copeland
Dec. 12, 2023
In the two-month battle over the fate of Harvard’s president, the billionaire investor William A. Ackman has cast himself as a protector of Jewish students and the standard-bearer for people who believe colleges have fostered a hostile atmosphere for critics of liberal orthodoxy.
But behind his anger are personal grievances that predate the uproar that has engulfed campuses since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel and Israel’s subsequent invasion of Gaza. Mr. Ackman, by his own admission and according to others around him, resents that officials at his alma mater, to which he’s donated tens of millions of dollars, and its president, Claudine Gay, have not heeded his advice on a variety of topics.
Most recently, this includes how to respond to complaints of antisemitism and the specter of violence against supporters of Israel on campus.
“It would have been smart for her to listen, or to at least pick up the phone,” Mr. Ackman said in an interview, describing a recent outreach to Dr. Gay that was part of a stream of calls, texts and letters to university officials.

“I have come for sinners”
Posted on December 3, 2017 by Royal Rosamond Press
“To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.”
Jesus made a strange statement that took me fifteen years to solve the riddle in it.
“I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins. ”
When I began to study the Bible at fifty years of age I had no problem with looking at the teaching of the Jews. When I read the Sanhedrin made a law stating no Rabbi need minster to a man or woman premarked a sinner by God while inside their mother’s womb, I had found the key to Jesus’s miracles and Christianity. Jesus came to get rid of this law, and as a Go’El Redeemer put an end to INHERENT SIN FROM THE PARENTS. Jesus declared there were no longer any BORN SINNERS!
This is why Rabbi Jesus died on the cross. This transference of evil from adults to the unborn, was over. Note the father of the boy born blind fears he and his son will be thrown out of the synagogue if they testify Jesus healed this son. There is no death warrant for believing Jesus is the Messiah. This is why Jesus bids them not to tell anyone so they can remain in the Synagogue and be ministered to by a Rabbi.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Sunday compared Israel’s war against Hamas to the U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan in World War II during an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
“When we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by the bombing [of] Hiroshima [and] Nagasaki with nuclear weapons,” Graham said. “That was the right decision.”
He added, “Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war. They can’t afford to lose.”
Graham, a staunch supporter of Israel, used the analogy multiple times while condemning President Joe Biden for threatening to withhold certain weapons from Israel if it launches a military operation in Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza where over a million civilians are sheltering.
The cost of Israeli bombs can vary depending on the type and specifications. Israel has used powerful 2,000-pound bombs provided by the United States in its operations against Hamas in Gaza. These bombs, which date back to the Vietnam War, can carry a higher payload due to their lack of an engine. However, their use in densely populated areas like Rafah has raised concerns about civilian casualties1. As for the exact cost, a much smaller customer like Israel might pay around $25,000 per tonne for the basic “dumb” version of the bomb, without the additional cost of sophisticated targeting electronics and hardware. Considering this, Israel’s bombing campaign has likely cost a minimum of $750 million in bombs alone2. The United States has also planned to transfer bomb kits to Israel, enhancing their precision capabilities3. Keep in mind that these figures are estimates and may not account for all associated costs.

“Western values” are a set of values strongly associated with the West which generally posit the importance of an individualistic culture.[1] Originally, they are often seen as related to Judeo-Christian values,[2] although since the 20th century are generally associated with other sociopolitical aspects of the West, such as free-market capitalism, feminism, liberal democracy and the legacy of the sexual revolution.[3]
Background[edit]
Western values were historically adopted around the world in large part due to colonialism and post-colonial dominance by the West, and are influential in the discourse around and justification of these phenomena.[4][5] This has induced some opposition to Western values and spurred a search for alternative values in some countries, though Western values are argued by some to have underpinned non-Western peoples’ quest for human rights,[6][7][8] and to be more global in character than often assumed.[9] The World wars forced the West to introspect on its application of its values to itself, as internal warfare and the rise of the Nazis within Europe, who openly opposed Western values, had greatly weakened it;[10] after World War II and the start of the post-colonial era, global institutions such as the United Nations were founded with a basis in Western values.[11]

Thomas Wilson – Shakespeare – Rhetoric
Posted on March 6, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
Did Thomas Wilson inspire Shakespeare? I suspect the clergy were steeped in the art of rhetoric that was taught and practiced at court. They might have put on plays as learning tools. Thomas Wilson would be wanting his sons and grandsons to master rhetoric. Rev, John Wilson may have been using rhetoric in his sermons, which put him at loggerheads with the Quakers who were preaching in Plain English. This would explain why the Wilson family was installed at Windsor and Buckingham palace. They represented the English Renaissance, that was the enemy of the Catholic Habsburgs and Mary Queen f Scots who drove the English Renaissance into exile where they came in contact with radical ideas.
https://www.bl.uk/shakespeare/articles/rhetoric-power-and-persuasion-in-julius-caesar
The Duchess of Suffolk was close to Thomas Wilson, and the De Vere family who had an acting troupe. It has been suggested De Vere wrote Shakespeare’s plays. But I suspect he was the façade, the front man, who owned a stage, a forum for the radicals who now took over Parliament. How many children of the gentry attended these plays, they able to follow the lesson, while the undedicated were delighted with the spectacle. The Oxford Men added a bawdiness for the masses. I suspect Erasmus Webb played a role? That so little is known about Shakespeare’s life, indicates there were folks in high places behind the curtain as William took his bows. If some of them were heads of the Church and members of Parliaments, you would not want this known. It was dangerous. Many people ended up in a dungeon. This was a Masked Ball. This is a – School!
Thomas Deloney was a Literary Anarchist who realized Royals can be toppled with clever words. The wrong people have had their scholarly right-wing way with The Bard of the Royal Soap Opera. Of course they do not want to see the right people are in power – for a change! One only need look at the Dumbing Down of America by the Trumpsterites and his Hew-Haw Boys. Watching Senator Lindsey Graham kiss ass on the most rancid political stage ever created, spells the end of the Enlightenment that Founded this Democracy. The evangelical leaders are the new Habsburg Catholic church, full of self-righteous prigs that bow down to a clown, a buffoon and pussy-grabber.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Brandon,_Duchess_of_Suffolk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Day_(printer)
Katherine and Richard Bertie’s exile became the basis of a ballad by Thomas Deloney (1543–1600), The most Rare and Excellent History, Of the Duchess of Suffolks Calamity, and of Thomas Drue‘s play, The Life of the Duchess of Suffolk, published in 1624. It may also have been the subject of an unpublished play from 1600 by William Haughton, The English Fugitives. Katherine’s second marriage to one of her servants and subsequent persecution also present parallels to the plot of John Webster‘s The Duchess of Malfi.
The Earl was known as a sportsman, and like several noblemen of his day, he retained a company of actors. The troupe, known as Oxford’s Men, was retained by the Earl from 1547 until his death in 1562.[15][16] His circle included the scholar and diplomat Sir Thomas Smith and his brothers-in-law, the poets Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey and Edmund Sheffield, 1st Baron Sheffield, and the translator Arthur Golding.[17]
Mary was born the daughter of John de Vere, 16th Earl of Oxford, and his second wife, Margery Golding. Her mother was the half-sister of translator Arthur Golding.
De Vere’s father maintained a company of players known as Oxford’s Men, which was discontinued by the 17th Earl two years after his father’s death.[107] Beginning in 1580, de Vere patronised both adult and boy companies, a company of musicians, and sponsored performances by tumblers, acrobats, and performing animals.[108] Oxford’s Men toured the provinces during 1580–1587. Sometime after November 1583, de Vere bought a sublease of the premises used by the boy companies in the Blackfriars, and then gave it to his secretary, the writer John Lyly. Lyly installed Henry Evans, a Welsh scrivener and theatrical affectionado, as the manager of the new company of Oxford’s Boys, composed of the Children of the Chapel and the Children of Paul’s, and turned his talents to play writing until the end of June 1584, when the original playhouse lease was voided by its owner.[109] In 1584–1585, “the Earl of Oxford’s musicians” received payments for performances in the cities of Oxford and Barnstaple. Oxford’s Men (also known as Oxford’s Players) stayed active until 1602.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare’s private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.[8][9][10] Such theories are often criticised for failing to adequately note that few records survive of most commoners of the period.

Wilson and Webb
Posted on March 5, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
My kindred, William Wilson, and his brother-in-law, Erasmus Webb may have known William Shakespeare – intimately! Anne (Webb) Wilson lived at Windsor Castle. Her brother, Erasmus, was the Archdeacon of Buckingham Palace. Are we looking at the authors of Shakespeare’s plays? Why has this family lineage been buried, and all but forgotten? These are extremely educated men, whose wives would be at court. They would know all the intrigues, and, hear confessions. They would know the merry wives of Windsor. People would bring them all the gossip that is the bane of the church, aimed at bringing other down as they vie for royal favors.
This bloodline flows from Bohemia and has seeded several major religions. This is the ‘Hidden Seed’. The Webb family came to America. In the chart below we see that Sir Alexander Webb married Mary Wilson, the daughter of Thomas Wilson MP, the grandfather (or Great Uncle?) of Reverend John Wilson of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, that the Webb family played a large role in. Shakespeare’s line, died out, and thus, this is his American Seed.
Statesman, Thomas Wilson MP, was a stellar scholar and author who could have prepared the way for the writing of Shakespeare. Why not put Alexander Webb is the race? Surely the Webb-Wilson family saw themselves as the family-power behind the Church and Throne, and in need of new forum.
“Wilson belongs to the second rank of Elizabethan statesmen. An able linguist, he had numerous acquaintances among Spanish and Flemish officials in the Netherlands, and, in a wider context, his range of friends included Leicester, Burghley, Hatton, Davison, Sir Francis Knollys, Paulet, Walsingham, William of Orange, Jewel, Parker, Parkhurst, Gresham, Ludovico Guiccardini and Arias Montano.”

The endorsement – ‘Wylson, a prebendary of Wynsor’ – identifies the writer of this letter as Rev. William Wilson, the father of Rev. John Wilson. Mather states that Rev. William Wilson was ‘a prebend of . . . Windsor,’ and William’s brass in St. George’s, Windsor, also calls him ‘Prebendarie of this Church.’ The contact between William Wilson and the Earl of Huntingdon may indicate that they shared similar Puritan (or Proto-Puritan) religious views, although in this instance they were discussing the distinctly un-Puritan matter of a chantry. The marriage of John Wilson, a great-nephew of the Archbishop of Canterbury, into the family of one of Huntingdon’s gentlemen, is not terribly unusual. Wilson’s father has been called ‘a man of deep erudition, a scholar and a courtier . . . we must suppose him to have been a persona grata in the eyes of Queen Elizabeth.’ “

Thomas Deloney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Thomas Deloney (c. 1543 – April 1600) was an English novelist and balladist
Although alleged to be of Norwich, Thomas Deloney was most likely born in London where he was trained as a silk-weaver.[1] An entry in the parish register of St Giles-without-Cripplegate from 16 October 1586, records the baptism of his son Richard.[2]
In the course of the next ten years he is known to have written about fifty ballads, one-sheet stories and news sheets, some of which got him into trouble, and caused him to keep a low profile for a time. John Strype described him as “presumptuous”, because the heroes and heroines of his works were clearly common people, and therefore in Strype’s terms only suitable for comedy or farce.[3]
His more important work as a novelist, in which he ranks with Robert Greene and Thomas Nashe, was not noted until much later. He appears to have turned to this genre to try to keep out of trouble.
According to A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature, ‘Less under the influence of John Lyly and other preceding writers than Greene, he is more natural, simple, and direct, and writes of middle-class citizens and tradesmen with light humour. Of his novels, Thomas of Reading is in honour of clothiers,[4] Jack of Newbury celebrates weaving, and The Gentle Craft is dedicated to the praise of shoemakers. He “dy’d poorely,” but was “honestly buried.”‘[5]
There is evidence to suggest that his son traveled to the Virginia colony.[citation needed]
The lavish diversity of his characters, has led to him being viewed as a precursor of Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, and Charles Dickens. The critic Merritt E. Lawlis has pointed out that, Deloney was the first English novelist to use a dramatic technique in his novels in which scenes appear as if they were episodes in a play.[6]

Rhetoric was a much-valued skill in Renaissance England, as it was in ancient Rome. Kim Ballard discusses the connections between rhetoric and power in Julius Caesar, one of Shakespeare’s Roman plays.
Rhetoric – the skilful use of language in order to move or persuade – was big business in Elizabethan England judging by the amount of books published on the subject. And although we know very little about Shakespeare’s life, it’s likely that he would have attended the King Edward VI School in his birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon until his early teens and studied rhetoric there as part of the regular curriculum. Throughout his plays, we can see how Shakespeare was steeped in rhetoric – not just through the linguistic ‘tricks’ and techniques he uses to compose his characters’ speeches, but through the comments the characters themselves make about the art of communication. In Julius Caesar, however, rhetoric is brought into the foreground: a political intrigue set in ancient Rome, Julius Caesar is – on one level – a play about rhetoric itself.
The art of rhetoric
The young Shakespeare’s study of rhetoric would have been accompanied by Latin lessons, another central element of 16th-century schooling. He would have become acquainted with many classical writers and historical figures, including the Roman writer Cicero – a distinguished orator and politician who features in Julius Caesar. Rhetoric traces its origins to Ancient Rome and Greece, where it was an important tool of government, law and philosophical debate. In our multi-media age, it is harder perhaps to appreciate how important rhetoric was to those leaders and politicians of long ago, but without the advantages of TV interviews, podcasts, Twitter, poster campaigns and so on, the one-off public performance was everything.
By the time Shakespeare was born, a huge revival of interest in the classical age was underway. This is largely why schoolboys were studying rhetoric, and why so many books on the subject were being published in English, in addition to translations of important classical works. These books included coverage of the specific ‘figures’ of rhetoric – the linguistic devices which can be used to make a speech or piece of writing more persuasive or memorable. These figures are often known by their original Greek or Latin names. Some are still fairly commonly used – for instance, hyperbole, antithesis and exemplum – while many others – like partitio, epiphora and aposiopesis – are less familiar to today’s students. Shakespeare probably learned about a large number of these devices and their names. In any case, he certainly knew how to craft the kind of speeches that would transport his audience to the world of ancient Rome in the last century BCE.
WILSON, THOMAS (1525?–1581), secretary of state and scholar, born about 1525, was son of Thomas Wilson of Strubby, Lincolnshire, by his wife Anne, daughter and heiress of Roger Cumberworth of Cumberworth in the same county (cf. Harl. MS. 6164, f. 42b). He was educated at Eton, whence in 1541 he was elected scholar of King’s College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. in 1545–6 and M.A. in 1549. Sir John Cheke [q. v.] was elected provost of King’s on 1 April 1548, and Wilson came under the influence of the revival of the study of Greek led by Cheke, Sir Thomas Smith (1513–1577) [q. v.], and others, through whom he became intimate with Roger Ascham. His Lincolnshire neighbours Katherine Willoughby, duchess of Suffolk, Sir Edward Dymock, and Cecil also furthered his advance, and the Duchess of Suffolk appointed him tutor to her two sons, Henry and Charles Brandon (successively dukes of Suffolk), who divided their time between Cambridge and Holbeach’s episcopal palace at Bugden (Addit. MS. 5815, f. 41). On their death Wilson collaborated with Walter Haddon [q. v.], another Etonian, in producing ‘Vita et Obitus Duorum Fratrum Suffolciensium, Henrici et Caroli Brandoni … duabus epistolis explicata,’ London, 1551, 4to. Wilson wrote the dedication to Henry Grey, created Duke of Suffolk on 11 Oct. in that year, the first epistle, and several of the copies of verses at the end of the volume. It was published by Richard Grafton [q. v.], who had helped Wilson at Cambridge, and suggested to him his treatise ‘The Rule of Reason, conteinynge the Arte of Logique set forth in Englishe …’ which was also published by Grafton in the same year (London, 8vo) and dedicated to Edward VI. The first edition is very rare, and the copy in the British Museum has manuscript notes by Sir Thomas Smith; a second edition appeared in 1552, a third in 1553, and others in 1567 and 1580; the third edition contains a passage from Nicholas Udall’s ‘Ralph Roister Doister,’ which is reprinted in Wood’s ‘Athenæ’ (ed. Bliss, i. 213–14). Wilson also wrote in 1552 a dedication to Warwick, the Duke of Northumberland’s eldest son, of Haddon’s ‘Exhortatio ad Literas.’
According to John Gough Nichols, Wilson’s ‘Arte of Rhetorique’ was published at the same time as, and uniform with, the ‘Rule of Reason,’ but the earliest edition of which any copy is known to be extant is dated ‘mense Januarii 1553.’ It is entitled ‘The Arte of Rhetorique, for the use of all suche as are studious of eloquence, sette forthe in Englishe by Thomas Wilson,’ London, 4to; it bears no printer’s name. Wilson describes it as being written when he was ‘having in my country this last summer a quiet time of vacation with Sir Edward Dymock.’ The copy of the first edition in the British Museum was given to George Steevens [q. v.] by Dr. Johnson. A second edition appeared in 1562 (London, 4to; prologue dated 7 Dec. 1560), and subsequent editions in 1567, 1580, 1584, and 1585, all in quarto. Warton describes it as ‘the first system of criticism in our language,’ though in the common use of the word it is not criticism at all, but a system of rhetoric without much claim to originality, the rules being mainly drawn from Aristotle, Cicero, and Quintilian. Wilson, however, did good service by his denunciation of pedantry, ‘strange inkhorn terms,’ and the use of French and ‘Italianated’ idiom, which ‘counterfeited the kinges Englishe’ (Hallam, Lit. of Europe, ii. 193, 209; Brydges, Censura. Lit. i. 339, ii. 2). In this way Wilson may have stimulated the development of English prose, and it has been maintained that Shakespeare himself owes something, including hints for Dogberry’s character, to a study of Wilson’s book (Drake, Shakespeare and his Time, i. 440–1, 472–4).
The ‘Arte of Rhetorique’ was dedicated to Northumberland’s eldest son, John Dudley, earl of Warwick, and from this time Wilson became a staunch adherent of the Dudley family, his especial patron in later years being the Earl of Leicester. On Northumberland’s fall he sought safety on the continent; in 1555 he was with Cheke at Padua, where on 21 Sept. 1556 he delivered, in St. Anthony’s Church, an oration on the death of Edward Courtenay, earl of Devon, which is printed in Strype’s ‘Memorials’ (vol. iii. App. p. lvii). Thence he seems to have proceeded to Rome before December 1557, when he was implicated in some intrigue at the papal court against Cardinal Pole (Cal. State Papers, For. 1553–8, pp. 345, 374, 380). On 17 March 1557–8 Philip and Mary wrote commanding him to return home and appear before the privy council before 15 June following (ib. Dom. 1547–80, p. 100). The English ambassador, Sir Edward Carne, delivered him this letter in April, but Wilson paid no attention; and it was possibly at Mary’s instigation that he was arrested and charged before the inquisition with having written the books on logic and rhetoric, and with being a heretic. He is said to have been put to torture, and he owed his escape to a riot which broke out on the news of Paul IV’s death on 18 Aug. 1559, when the mob, enraged at the severities of the inquisition, broke open the prisons and released suspected heretics (ib. For. 1558–9, No. 1287; Wilson, The Arte of Rhetorique, ed. 1562, pref.) He now took refuge at Ferrara, where he received his diploma as LL.D. on 29 Nov. 1559 (Hist. MSS. Comm. 5th Rep. App. p. 305); he was incorporated in this degree at Oxford on 6 Sept. 1566, and at Cambridge on 30 Aug. 1571 (Lansd. MS. 982, f. 2; Reg. Univ. Oxon. i. 264; Addit. MS. 5815, f. 41).
In 1560 Wilson returned to London, whence on 7 Dec. he dated the preface to the second edition of his ‘Arte of Rhetorique;’ he was admitted advocate in the court of arches by a commission from Archbishop Parker dated 28 Feb. 1560–1 (Lansd. MS. 982, f. 3); and Parker also seems to have appointed him dean of the college he founded at Stoke Clare, Suffolk (Addit. MS. 5815, f. 42). In January 1560–1 he spoke of being ‘summoned to serve abroad’ (Cal. State Papers, For. 1560–1, No. 930), but no trace of the nature of this mission has been found. In the same year he became master of St. Catherine’s Hospital in the Tower, and also master of requests (Leadam, Court of Requests, 1897, pp. xlv, cvii, cix, cxx). In the former capacity he incurred some odium by taking down the choir of St. Catherine’s, said by Stow to have been as large as that of St. Paul’s, and apparently it was only Cecil’s intervention that prevented his selling the franchises of the hospital. He was returned for Michael Borough in Cornwall to the parliament summoned to meet on 11 Jan. 1562–3 and dissolved on 2 Jan. 1566–7. In April 1564 he was commissioned with Dr. Valentine Dale [q. v.] to examine John Hales (d. 1571) [q. v.] about his book advocating the claims of Lady Catherine Grey to the succession (Hatfield MSS. vol. i. passim). On new year’s day 1566–7 he presented to the queen an ‘Oratio de Clementia,’ now extant in the British Museum (Royal MS. 12 A. 1).
In 1563 Sir Thomas Chaloner had urged Wilson’s appointment as ambassador to the court of Spain, but Wilson’s first diplomatic employment of any note was his mission to Portugal in 1567; it dealt mainly with commercial matters, and Wilson’s energies were largely devoted to furthering in Portugal the mercantile interests of his brother-in-law, Sir William Winter [q. v.] His commission was apparently dated 6 May 1567 (Cal. Clarendon Papers, i. 494), but it was October before he had his first interview at Lisbon (Cotton. MS. Nero B. i. 142). While there he entered into relations with Osorio da Fonseca, the well-known bishop of Silves, and on his return in 1568 Wilson brought with him the bishop’s reply to Haddon (cf. Hist. MSS. Comm. 5th Rep. App. p. 363, and art. Haddon, Walter). In July he addressed some Latin verses to Cecil on his recovery from illness. On 13 May 1569 he vainly requested to be again sent as agent to Portugal (Lansd. MS. xii., art. 3), and he generally acted as intermediary between Portuguese envoys in London and the English government. As a thoroughgoing adherent of Leicester he also participated in the earl’s secret negotiations with the Spanish ambassador (Cal. Simancas Papers, 1569–78, pp. 61 sqq.)
In the intervals of these occupations and his duties as master of requests Wilson busied himself with his translation of ‘The Three Orations of Demosthenes, chiefe orator among the Grecians in favour of the Olynthians … with those his four Orations … against King Philip of Macedonie; most nedeful to be redde in these daungerous dayes of all them that loue their countries libertie and desire to take warning for their better auayle … After these Orations ended, Demosthenes lyfe is set foorth;’ it also contains a description of Athens and various panegyrics on Demosthenes. The translation had been begun at Padua in 1556 with Cheke, and Wilson seems to have resumed it in November 1569 (Lansd. MS. xiii. art. 15; Letters of Eminent Lit. Men, pp. 28–9), but the preface was not dated till 10 June 1570, in which year the book was published with a dedication to Cecil (London, 4to). The preface contains ‘a remarkable comparison of England with Athens in the time of Demosthenes,’ the part of Philip of Macedon being filled by Philip of Spain (Seeley, British Policy, 1894, i. 156); it is similar to the ‘Latin treatise on the Dangerous State of England,’ on which Wilson speaks of being engaged on 13 Aug. 1569 (Lansd. MS. xiii. art. 9), and which is now extant in the Record Office (State Papers, Dom. Eliz. cxxiii. 17), being dated 2 April 1578, and entitled ‘A Discourse touching the Kingdom’s Perils with their Remedies.’ To this is to be attributed the curious story contributed probably by Dr. Johnson to the ‘Literary Magazine’ (1758, p. 151), to the effect that Wilson was employed by the government to translate Demosthenes with a view to rousing a national resistance to Spanish invasion (Addit. MS. 5815, f. 42). Apart from its political significance, Wilson’s translation is notable as the earliest English version of Demosthenes, and attains a high level of scholarship; no second edition, however, appears to have been called for, though a Latin version by Nicholas Carr [q. v.], who died in 1568, was published in 1571. At the same time Wilson was engaged upon his ‘Discourse uppon usurye by waye of Dialogue and Oracions,’ which he dedicated to Leicester. The preface is dated 20 July 1569, but the book was not published until 1572 (London, 8vo; 2nd edit. 1584). It was one of the numerous sixteenth-century attacks upon interest based mainly on biblical texts which proved absolutely unavailing against the economic tendencies of the time, but it is of some value as illustrating various phases of contemporary opinion on the subject (Ashley, Econ. Hist. ii. 467–9); Jewel bestowed upon it his warm commendation, and on Jewel’s death Wilson contributed a copy of verses to the collection published in his memory (London, 1573, 4to).
Less congenial work occupied Wilson during the autumn of 1571; on 7 Sept. he conveyed the Duke of Norfolk to the Tower, and for the next few weeks he did ‘nothing else but examine prisoners’ (Cal. Simancas MSS. 1568–79, p. 339). On the 15th he received a warrant to put two of Norfolk’s servants to the rack (Ellis, Orig. Letters, i. ii. 261), and so engrossing was this occupation that he took up his residence, and wrote letters ‘from prison in the Bloody Tower’ (Cotton. MS. Calig. C. iii. f. 260; Hatfield MSS. i. 571 sqq.). He also conducted many of the examinations in connection with the Ridolfi plot, and in June 1572 was sent with Sir Ralph Sadler [q. v.] to Mary Queen of Scots ‘to expostulate with her by way of accusation’ (ib. ii. 19; instructions in Egerton MS. 2124, f. 4). He was returned for Lincoln city to the parliament that was summoned to meet on 8 May 1572 and was not dissolved till after his death, and on 8 July he was commissioned to provide for the better regulation of commerce (Lansd. MS. xiv. art. 21). In the summer of 1573 he had many conferences with the Portuguese ambassadors (Harl. MS. 6991, arts. 24, 26, and 27).
In the autumn of 1574 Wilson was sent on the first of his important embassies to the Netherlands; he left London on 7 Nov. (Walsingham’s Diary ap. Camden Soc. Misc. iv. 22; his instructions, abstracted in Cal. State Papers, For. 1572–4, No. 1587, are printed in full in Relations Politiques des Pays-Bas et d’Angleterre, vii. 349–52; there are others in Cotton. MS. Galba C. v. ff. 51–216, and Harl. MS. 6991). While at Brussels he is said to have instigated a plot for seizing Don John and handing him over to the insurgents (Cal. Simancas MSS. 1568–1579, pp. 543–4). He remained in the Low Countries until 27 March 1575, when he sailed from Dunkirk (Act P. C. 1571–5, p. 361). His second embassy to the Netherlands followed in the autumn of 1576; he left London on 25 Oct. (Camden Soc. Misc. iv. 28), and spent nearly nine months in Flanders, mainly at Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp, or Ghent. His despatches are printed in ‘Relations Politiques’ (ix. 1–414; see also Cal. State Papers, For. 1575–77; Hatfield MSS. vol. ii. passim; Cotton. MS. Galba C. v. ff. 272–358; Harl. MSS. 36 art. 34, and 6992 arts. 36, 37; and Lansd. MSS. clv. art. 67). The ostensible purpose of his mission was to negotiate some modus vivendi between Don John, with whom he had various interviews (e.g. on 1 May 1577, Cotton. MS. Galba C. v. f. 306), and the Dutch insurgents; but he soon came to the conclusion that such schemes were impracticable, and urged a complete understanding between England and William of Orange (Hatfield MSS. ii. 150–4; cf. Putnam, William the Silent, ii. 172–212). He also took part in the negotiations for a marriage between Elizabeth and Anjou. He returned to England on 13 July 1577.
During his absence Wilson was on 23 April 1577 nominated a commissioner for a special visitation of Oxford University, but he was destined for more important work. In September the Spanish ambassador wrote that Leicester, with a view to furthering his project of marrying the queen, was bringing into the council all his adherents, of whom Wilson was one (Cal. Simancas MSS. 1568–1579, p. 546). Wilson does not, however, occur as a privy councillor until 12 Nov., when he was sworn secretary of state in succession to Sir Thomas Smith (Acts P. C. ed. Dasent, 1577–8, p. 85). From that date he was constant in attendance on the council, but he was somewhat overshadowed by the superior ability of his colleague in the secretariate, Sir Francis Walsingham [q. v.], and the nature of his political influence is not easy to distinguish, more particularly as he tempered his adherence to Leicester with a firm desire to stand well with Burghley. He was, however, the principal authority on Portuguese affairs, and was the main supporter of Don Antonio’s ambassadors in London (Cal. Simancas MSS. 1580–6, p. 183). In 1580 he became one of Elizabeth’s lay deans, being installed dean of Durham on 5 Feb. 1579–80, a preferment for which he was a candidate in 1563, when William Whittingham [q. v.] was appointed (Le Neve, Fasti, iii. 299). Ralph Lever [q. v.] protested against Wilson’s election (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1547–80, p. 644), and the nomination of a layman to the deanery was a rude assertion of the royal supremacy against those who had cavilled at Wilson’s predecessor on the ground of his invalid ordination (cf. Add. MS. 23235, f. 5).
Wilson’s last attendance at the council board was on 3 May 1581. He died at St. Catherine’s Hospital on 16 June following, and was buried there on the 17th. He ordered in his will that he should be buried ‘without charge or pomp,’ and no trace of his monument, if there was one, remains. A portrait of Wilson, dated 1575 but repaired in 1777, representing him in a black cap and dark furred dress, belonged in 1866 to Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, bart. (Cat. First Loan Exhib. No. 214, where Wilson is erroneously styled ‘Sir Thomas’). Another, an old copy of an anonymous painting, was in 1879 transferred from the British Museum to the National Portrait Gallery, London. A copy of his will, dated 19 May 1581, is preserved at Hatfield (Cal. Hatfield MSS. ii. 391). He left his house at Edmonton to the overseers of his will, Sir Francis Walsingham, Sir William Winter, and Matthew Smith, to be sold to pay his debts; five hundred marks to his daughter Mary on her marriage or coming of age, and a like sum to his daughter Lucrece; his son Nicholas was to be sole executor. No successor was appointed to Wilson, Walsingham acting as sole secretary until Davison’s selection on 30 Sept. 1586. His death was the occasion of various poetical laments (cf. Hist. MSS. Comm. 2nd Rep. App. p. 97, 4th Rep. App. pp. 252–4).
Wilson was twice married: first, to Jane, daughter of Sir Richard Empson [q. v.], and widow of John Pinchon of Writtle, Essex (Baker, Northamptonshire, ii. 141). By her Wilson appears to have had no issue; and he married, secondly, Agnes, daughter of John Winter of Lydney, Gloucestershire, sister of Sir William Winter, the admiral, and widow of William Brooke (Visit. Gloucestershire, 1623, p. 274); of her three children, the only son, Nicholas, settled at Sheepwash, Lincolnshire (see pedigree in Coll. of Arms MS. C. 23); Mary married, first, Robert Burdett (d. 1603) of Bramcote, by whom she was mother of Sir Thomas Burdett, first baronet, ancestor of Sir Francis Burdett [q. v.] and of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts; and, secondly, Sir Christopher Lowther of Lowther, Westmorland. She was buried in the choir of Penrith parish church (Lansd. MS. 982, f. 2). Wilson’s second daughter, Lucrece, married Sir George Belgrave of Belgrave, Leicestershire.
Wilson has generally been confused with one or more contemporaries of the same name; a confusion of him with Sir Thomas Wilson (1560?–1629) [q. v.] has led to his being frequently styled a knight. Other contemporaries were Thomas Wilson (d. 1586), a fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge, who took refuge at Frankfurt during Mary’s reign, was elected dean of Worcester in 1571, and died on 20 July 1586 (Cooper, Athenæ Cantabr. ii. 5–6); Thomas Wilson (d. 1615), canon of Windsor (see Lansd. MS. 983, f. 147); and Thomas Wilson (1563–1622) [q. v.]
Was Baron Wilson A Knights Templar?
Posted on March 6, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
I believe the Wilson family were Knights Templar who may be kin to the Sinclair family. Baron Thomas Wilson was born and died at Ravenscraig. He must have lived here with his Bohemian wife, Ada Antionette Erasmus. There must have been a existing castle that was remodeled. Ada is of the Seinsheim family that died out in the male line in 1965, but was revived along the female line. I doubt they knew about the Wilson line. This is the only thing that come close to the Da Vince Code that stars the Sinclair Clan.

Ravenscraig Castle, Kirkcaldy, Fife
King James III granted Ravenscraig Castle, by Kirkcaldy, to William Sinclair in 1470 as compensation for resigning the earldom of Orkney and lordship of Shetland to the Crown. Originally built as a royal residence, the Sinclairs transformed it into the well-defended fort we see today. Over the central vaults, where Mary would have built her great hall, the Sinclairs instead installed a gun platform in the mid-1500s.
The castle’s central entrance passage was approached by bridge over the deep rock-cut ditch. Inside was a guardroom, the rest of the central block taken up by cellars. The west tower housed the owner’s four-floor apartment and the east tower housed the well and apartments for the owner’s senior officials. The courtyard housed the kitchen, bakehouse and other offices.

Mary of Gueldres ordered work on the castle to continue, and by 1461 some £600 had been spent and enough of the east tower was complete to allow the queen and her retainers to spend the better part of a month here. Mary died in 1463 and in 1470 her son, James III, awarded the castle to William Sinclair, Earl of Caithness as part of a deal that saw the Earl’s titles and estates in Orkney and Shetland transfer to the Crown. The castle remained an important and powerful residence, and was visited by James V in 1540 and James VI in 1598.
The Middle Temple is the western part of “The Temple“, which was the headquarters of the Knights Templar until they were dissolved in 1312. There have been lawyers in the Temple since 1320, when they were the tenants of the Earl of Lancaster, who had held the Temple since 1315.[2] The Temple later belonged to the Knights Hospitallers. In 1346 the knights again leased the premises to the lawyers – the eastern part (which became Inner Temple) to lawyers from Thavie’s Inn, an Inn of Chancery in Holborn, and the western part to lawyers from St George’s Inn.[3] The Cross of St George is still part of the arms of Middle Temple today.
