Warfighter Progression

The Royal Janitor

Sir Caspar John is the son of the famous Bohemian Artist, Augustus John. His half-sister’s mother is Eve Fleming.- THE MOTHER OF IAN FLEMING – who had to be fully aware of the Artists and Bohemians that filled his family tree. His mother had a salon on Chayne. Having served in Naval Intelligence, I believe Ian Fleming wanted to create a character that was a model for the Bohemian Lifestyle he wanted to live. James Bond is a Beach Bum, a Ganbler, and Womanizer – with a gun! He goes after Wealthy Dictators and Oligarchs. If he was real, he would have raided Epstein’s Island and freed the underage girls he stole – from the President of the United States!

Morality is inder attack, not by The Immoral, but by THE RIGHTEOUS! Mere men want to own their God, by dressing Him in a shiny amour and giving Him the sword they have fashioned. The Christians, The Zionists, the Muslims – ARE MAKING WAR! The first people they go after, are Bohemians and Homosexuals. The fall of the Iron Curtain is attributed to BEATLEMANIA! Religious think tanks know this. I believe they read this blog – and act in the contrary! Am I their blueprint?

I beleive Isral and Putin is not ENDING THEIR WAR because the President is doing their bidding.

DESTROY THE PEACEMAKERS – THE ARTISTS! THE BEATS! THE WRITERS! THE MUSICIAINS1 FREE PRESS!……..THE BOHMMIANS!

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has placed Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill of Moscow on its wanted list, according to the Interior Ministry’s wanted persons database on Dec. 15.

Patriarch Kirill, born Vladimir Gundyayev, is the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and a staunch supporter of Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Russia’s war against Ukraine.

According to the Soviet archives, the bishop was a KGB agent and spied on Switzerland in the 1970s, using his role as an official representative at the World Council of Churches.

The database describes him as a person “hiding from pre-judicial investigation authorities,”

Kirill is accused of violating Article 110 of Ukraine’s criminal code, which concerns actions that infringe on Ukraine’s territorial integrity, resulting in “the death of people or other serious consequences.” The charge carries a punishment of life imprisonment.

He is also charged with article 437, the “planning preparation, unleashing, and waging an aggressive war,” which carries a punishment of up to 15 years imprisonment.

Amaryllis Marie-Louise Fleming (10 December 1925 – 27 July 1999) was a British cello performer and teacher.

Fleming was born in 1925, reportedly in Switzerland.[1] She was born out of wedlock to the painter Augustus John and his mistress Eve Fleming, who was the mother of the writers Peter Fleming and Ian Fleming by her late husband. Most of her life she was raised as the adopted daughter of Eve Fleming as a pretence to hide the circumstances of her birth.

FIRST ON FOX: The Navy may soon install a new educational review board aimed at restoring a “culture of discipline” at the U.S. Naval Academy and eliminating any diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-related initiatives.

According to a draft memo obtained by Fox News Digital, the board would be composed of “prominent leaders” from both the public and private sectors who are “committed to restoring the warrior ethos and bringing meritocracy and accountability back to Naval education.”

The draft, written on behalf of Secretary of the Navy John Phelan and addressed to Scott Duncan, acting Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, requests a list of potential candidates to serve on the board.

GROUP LAUNCHES TIP LINE FOR DOD EMPLOYEES TO REPORT DEI, ‘WOKE’ OVERREACH

The proposed board would be tasked with “reinstating and encouraging a culture of discipline as a part of the warrior ethos” and reviewing curriculum content to ensure alignment with Department of Defense priorities. It would also be empowered to remove any material deemed “inappropriate for today’s warfighter progression.”

In addition to curriculum oversight, the memo calls for a major shift in the faculty structure. It proposes expanding the number of permanent military professors from 40 to at least 100, a move aimed at “addressing imbalances in civilian-dominated governance that weaken the Academy’s military mission.”

Under the proposed timeline, the board would be established within the first three months, during which it would also review the admissions process and audit faculty composition. Over the following three to six months, it would initiate an overhaul of “ethos training” and recommend updates to the Academy’s admissions rubric.

“It is no secret that reform is needed at the Naval Academy, and across all of Naval education,” Phelan said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The previous administration instilled corrosive DEI programs in the Academy’s curriculum and allowed identity politics and wokeism to take priority over warfighting, leadership, and the critical thinking necessary to be superior Naval and Marine Corps officers.”

While the memo was drawn up by senior staff, it has not yet been formally issued.

Capt. Adam Clampitt, public affairs officer to the Secretary of the Navy, emphasized that “no decisions have been made,” but added that “the Secretary is committed to restoring the warrior ethos and instilling a culture of meritocracy and accountability in Naval education and across the fleet, and is looking at a variety of options to make that happen.”

The initiative comes just days after a major leadership shakeup at the Naval Academy. The Department of Defense moved Adm. Yvette Davids out as superintendent and into another role and replaced her with Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael J. Borgschulte — marking the first time a Marine has held the position.

However, a Navy official familiar with the personnel move emphasized that Davids was being promoted. She has been nominated to serve as the deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans, strategy, and warfighting development — a role that could position her for a future four-star admiral promotion.

“Her operational record, strategic vision, and proven leadership made her the natural fit for the job,” the official told Fox News Digital. “Her selection was not a statement about anything other than excellence and readiness.”

My Kinship With Liz, The Gettys, Ian Fleming

FRANCIS TAYLOR and ELIZABETH ROSEMOND:
Marriage: Abt. 1895

Children of ELIZABETH ROSEMOND and FRANCIS TAYLOR are:
3.i.FRANCES LYNN13 TAYLOR, b. 28 Dec 1897, Springfield, Sangamon
County, Illinois; d. 20 Nov 1968, Los Angeles County, California.
ii.JOHN TAYLOR.

An appreciation of art ran in Taylor’s family: her father, Francis, and great-uncle Howard Young were dealers. Born in London, Francis moved to Hollywood during the second world war and set set up his own gallery in the Beverley Hills Hotel, where it attracted film star clients including Hedda Hopper and Greta Garbo.

Francis Taylor exclusively represented the Welsh painter Augustus John in America, a relationship that had developed when the Taylor family moved into John’s former house in Hampstead, where Elizabeth was born in 1932. The Christie’s sale includes 21 works by John, including Portrait of Poppet in Black Hat, which Elizabeth inherited from her father and, says Bertazzoni, “cherished all her life”.

About Poppet John

Elizabeth Anne (“Poppet”) John: born Alderney, Dorset 9 March 1912; married 1930 Derek Jackson (marriage dissolved 1935), 1942 Villiers Bergne (marriage dissolved 1945), 1952 Willem Pol (died 1988; one stepdaughter); died London 22 October 1997.

Poppet always seemed faintly glamorous to the younger members of the John family; she was the aunt who lived in the South of France, mixed with grand people and loved a cocktail party. She had an exotically named stepdaughter, Talitha, and a charming husband, a Dutch painter who was always known by his surname, Pol. At their best they were a delightful, animated couple, who none the less suffered devastating turns of fate.

The Creative Royal Fleet Sets Sail

Posted on April 16, 2018by Royal Rosamond Press

Here are the vessels that Sir Caspar John served upon. He was born into a artistic family. I would like see the College of Defence Studies founded by the Artist, Sir Winston Churchill, expanded to include Creative People in Britain and the U.S. As a rule artists, writers, and musicians do not take slaves, gas people, and loot other people’s art. Hitler did all three. He was a bad artist who cost the world many lives, and a trillion dollars to put him down. We took back the art he stole and put it in sacred public places. I support Theresa May’s strike against Assad, who gassed his own people.

Below are the warships that Sir Ian Easton served on.

China’s interpretation of the law of the sea within what it claims to be its own waters has long clashed with that of maritime powers and the majority of members of the international community. The United States regularly asserts maritime rights and freedoms under its “freedom of navigation” program, much to Beijing’s chagrin.

Prophet of Homosexuals

Posted on December 15, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press

There is a great schism in the Church of England over ministering to homosexuals. Jesus claimed he was the Rabbi of Sinners who were prejudged and marked inside their mother’s womb. Experts have concluded homosexuals are born with a homosexual disposition. Therefor, they are the ones Jesus came to minister to. All other churches, but the Church of England, have dried up like seeds cast upon  rock. The Republicans have ended our Democracy in the name of Jesus – who has turned his back on them.

All Christians, and their leaders, who engage in homophobia, are cast out of the True Church of Jesus that came to America with my Puritan kindred – who are kin to Shakespeare – as well as Harvard and Oxford! Add to this my kin founding Briarcliff College, and, my possible kin founding the Falcon and Poor Boys College in Holland, one has to ask why these Learned Men of God did not see that Jesus made a point to heal those born with their condition. I am the only one! What this suggests, along with  Reverend John Wilson’s poems and writing – his way with words – that there is a hereditary factor.

Several writers have suggested there exist a lineage passed down to Jesus – and his offspring – that – that continues to contribute to the church this bloodline founded. Here is the only evidence of this possibility. The brass memorials on the floor of St. George’s Chapel, is seeded with the DNA of Royals and their Clergy, who founded the greatest nation on Earth.

The prophecy also exist in my Bond book, where I have Victoria going to see Clive Rougemont, and answer to the truth she and Miriam have fallen in love and have engaged in homosexuality. I am kin to Ian Fleming via Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, as well as the famous Thespians she married. Elizabeth and her children have champion homosexuals dying of AIDS.  I am sure I have her full approval in all my endeavors, including publishing a blog-newsparer. I have put her history amongst the Stars of the Church of England. Liz is a British Subject. I will author a paper and submit it to the Royal Windsors! I ordain Dame Taylor a Saint of CAAP.

Meghan Windsor is a Thespian. She is the Duchess of Sussex a title founded after King George the third who was the King of New England. She became a British Subject whey she married to second son of ‘England’s Rose’. I would like this couple to head CAAP in the New World.

So be it!

God save the Queen…..and the Church of England!

Is Dame Elizabeth British or American?
There has always been much confusion surrounding the nationality of Dame Elizabeth. Although born in England, her parents were American, so Elizabeth was born with dual citizenship. But early in her career, Elizabeth gave up her British citizenship to prevent paying additional taxes to her native country. However, because of recent changes in the law, Elizabeth again received dual citizenship when she married Michael Wilding in England in 1952. After she married Richard Burton, Elizabeth, by choice, became solely a British citizen, saying: “It is not true that I love America less, but I love my husband more.” After Elizabeth married John Warner, Elizabeth decided to again become an American citizen, but admitted that the process would take several years. It hadn’t been completed by the time rumors swirled that Warner might run for the Senate, which prompted Elizabeth to say: “I couldn’t vote for him anyway. I’m still a British citizen.” Elizabeth, now a Dame of the British Empire, holds both American and British passports.

“We’ll be working through this process, hopefully in a fairly short period of time in total coordination with the White House counsel’s office and the people who are representing the president as well as the Senate,” McConnell said. 

The long cords which fasten the mantle are well represented at North Stoke and Magdalen College. In the two later examples it is gathered. On the Eton brass the mantle is fastened at the neck. The lost effigy of John Robyns, d. 1558, of which the inscription remains in St George’s Chapel, may have shown him wearing the mantle.[4] Brasses of canons of Windsor are found showing them vested in copes, without the Garter badge, as at Thurcaston, Leicestershire. (John Mershdcn, 1425), and at Harrow (Simon Marcheford, 1442). A brass was discovered in 1890 at Bennington, near Stevenage, Hertfordshire, showing a small mutilated effigy of a priest in a cope with a round badge (possibly a rose) on the left shoulder. The cope has an orphrey. This has been supposed to represent a Canon of Windsor.[5]

Rosamond Clifford and Reverend William Wilson

Posted on July 10, 2018by Royal Rosamond Press

When Princess Diana’s sons got married, the bones of my grandfather were not too far away, they buried in the floor of Saint George’s Cathedral. Sarah Wilson was the wife of John Roseman. Sarah is kin to Reverend William Wilson, who is Royal Rosamond’s 10th. grandfather. This line goes to Rosamond Clifford. Alas I have found her! We are in the same rosy family tree, and is the famous Puritan, John Wilson. I was destined for the church. It is in my blood. I have been saying this all along.

William, his son John, and I have the long faces with aquiline noses. This is the oldest image of a relative. Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, should have played Fair Rosamond. The wife of Ralph de Toney was said to have had purple eyes.

I will now be using my full name so my Rosamond kindred and I can be found.

Reverend William Wilson born 1542 Doctorate of Divinity and graduate of Merton College, Oxford BA in 1564, MA in 1570, BD in 1576, DD 1607. Rector of Islip, Oxfordshire, 1578; rector of Cliffe, co. Kent 1579, rector of Caxton, co. Kent, 1593, prebendary of St. Paul’s London 1595-1615, and of Rochester Cathedral 1591-1614. About 1580 he became chaplair to Edmund Grindll, Archbishop of Canterbury, and in 1583 became the canon of Windsor, holding his position for thirty two years until his death Mary 15, 1615 at age 73, he was buried in the chapel of St.George, Windsor Castle, where a monumental brass to his memory states that he was “beloved of all in his Life, and much lamented in his Death.” (Alumni Oxoniensis, vol. iv, p. 1657; Ashmole’s ‘History and Antiquities of Berkshire’ p. 305; register, ante, vol. xxxviii, pp 306-308, and vol. lii, p. 144). He married first about 1575, Isabel, daughter of John Woodhall, Esq., of Walden, co Essex, by Elizabeth his wife, sister of Rev. Edmund Grindall, the celebrated Puritan Archbishop of Canterbury, described by Lord Bacon as ‘the gravest and greatest prelate of the land.” (Register, ante, vol. xxxviii,pp.301-308). He married second, Anne, sister of Rev. Erasmus Webb, canon of Windsor, who died in 1612, without issue.(Register, ante, vol. lii,pp 143-4). He was a prebend of St. Paul’s of Rochester and of Windsor, and rector of Cliffe. Notes from the Antiquities of Berkshire, by Elias Ashmole, Esq (Reading, 1736) give the inscriptions found by that famous antiquary in the Chapel of St. George, Windsor Castle, relating to this family. On the North side lied a grave stone, on which, in Brass Plates, is the figure of a Man, and this Inscription “To me to live is Christ, and to dye is Gain.” Phillip I.21. Here underneath lied interr’d the Body of William Wilson, Doctour of Divinitie, and Prebendarie of this Church by the space of 32 years. He had issue by Isabell Woodhall Wilson six sons and six daughters. He dy’d the 15th of May, in the year of our Lord 1615, of his age of 73. ‘Who thinke of Death in lyfe, can never dye, but mount through Faith, from Earth to heavenly pleasure, weep then no more, though her his body lye, his Doul’s possest of never ending Treasure.” On another small brass plate on the same grave stone, is the following inscription. ‘Neere unto this place lyes buried William Willson, the third son, who after along trial of grievous sickness, did comfortably yield up his spirit in the yeare of our Lord 1610, of his age of 23. On a brass plate, on a grave stone northward of the last is this inscription, ‘William Wilson, late of Wellsbourne, in the County of Lincolne, Gent, departed this Lyfe, within the castle of Windosre, in the yeare of our Lord 1587, the 27 day of August, and lyeth buried in this place.’ p. 309. Arms of Will’m Wilson of Welborne, per Norroy flower, 1586. ‘Per pale argen and azure three lion’s gambs barways, erased and counterchanged. Crest:-a lion’s head erased argent guttee de sang. Harleian Coll., No. 1550, Fol. 192, British Museum: Richard Mundy’s copy of the Visitation of Lincolnshire, 1564 and 1592.

John Wilson (c.1588–1667), was a Puritan clergyman in Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the minister of the First Church of Boston from its beginnings in Charlestown in 1630 until his death in 1667. He is most noted for being a minister at odds with Anne Hutchinson during the Antinomian Controversy from 1636 to 1638, and for being an attending minister during the execution of Mary Dyer in 1660.

Born into a prominent English family from Sudbury in Suffolk, his father was the chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and thus held a high position in the Anglican Church. Young Wilson was sent to school at Eton for four years, and then attended the university at King’s College, Cambridge, where he received his B.A. in 1610. From there he studied law briefly, and then studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he received an M.A. in 1613. Following his ordination, he was the chaplain for some prominent families for a few years, before being installed as pastor in his home town of Sudbury. Over the next ten years he was dismissed and then reinstated on several occasions, because of his strong Puritan sentiments which contradicted the practices of the established church.

As with many other Puritan divines, Wilson came to New England, and sailed with his friend John Winthrop and the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. He was the first minister of the settlers, who established themselves in Charlestown, but soon crossed the Charles River into Boston. Wilson was an encouragement to the early settlers during the very trying initial years of colonization. He made two return trips to England during his early days in Boston, the first time to persuade his wife to come, after she initially refused to make the trip, and the second time to transact some business. Upon his second return to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, Anne Hutchinson was first exposed to his preaching, and found an unhappy difference between his theology and that of her mentor, John Cotton, who was the other Boston minister. The theologically astute, sharp-minded, and outspoken Hutchinson, who had been hosting large groups of followers in her home, began to criticize Wilson, and the divide erupted into the Antinomian Controversy. Hutchinson was eventually tried and banished from the colony, as was her brother-in-law, Reverend John Wheelwright.

Rosamund Clifford

Note: her place in the birth order is highly uncertain but was probably not as early as the 1130s. She must have been a pretty young thing to catch Henry II’s roving eye.

From Wikipedia

Rosamund Clifford (before 1150 – c. 1176), often called “The Fair Rosamund” or the “Rose of the World”, was famed for her beauty and was a mistress of King Henry II of England, famous in English folklore.

Rosamund was the daughter of the marcher lord Walter de Clifford and his wife Margaret Isobel de Tosny (referred to as “de Toeni” on the Page of her husband, Walter de Clifford). Walter was originally known as Walter Fitz Richard, but his name was gradually changed to that of his major holding, first as steward, then as lord. This was Clifford Castle on the River Wye. Rosamund had two sisters, Amice and Lucy. Amice married Osbern fitz Hugh of Richard’s Castle and Lucy Hugh de Say of Stokesay. She also had three brothers, Walter II de Clifford, Richard and Gilbert.

Rosamund probably first met the King when he passed by Clifford Castle in 1163 during one of his campaigns in Wales against Rhys ap Gruffydd.

Her name, Rosamund, may have been influenced by the Latin phrase rosa mundi, which means “rose of the world.”

Sarah Wilson Rosamond is William Thomas Rosamond’s second great grandmother.

The Maze and Grail At Blenheim Palace

The estate given by the nation to Marlborough for the new palace was the manor of Woodstock, sometimes called the Palace of Woodstock, which had been a royal demesne, in reality little more than a deer park. Legend has obscured the manor’s origins. King Henry I enclosed the park to contain the deer. Henry II housed his mistress Rosamund Clifford (sometimes known as “Fair Rosamund”) there in a “bower and labyrinth”; a spring where she is said to have bathed remains, named after her. It seems the unostentatious hunting lodge was rebuilt many times

The Spencer family is one of Britain’s most illustrious aristocratic families. This noble family descended in the male line from Henry Spencer, claimed to be a descendant of the cadet branch of the ancient House Le Despencer (died c. 1478), male-line ancestor of the Earls of Sunderland, the Dukes of Marlborough, and the Earls Spencer. Two prominent members of the family were Winston Churchill and Diana, Princess of Wales.

The Spencers later joined the Churchills upon the marriage of Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland and Lady Anne Churchill, daughter of the most celebrated Duke of Marlborough. From them descends the current line of the Spencer family which was divided into two branches. The senior line are currently the ducal line of the Spencer family who holds the Dukedom of Marlborough. The 5th Duke of Marlborough later changed their surname to Spencer-Churchill to emphasize their descent from the first duke. The junior line are currently the comital branch of the family who holds the title Earl Spencer.

The comital branch of the Spencer family can trace their ancestry to most of Britain’s nobility as well as to most of Europe’s royal houses. The Spencers are direct descendants albeit illegitimate of the House of Stuart, with the family boasting at-least five line of direct descendancy from the Stuarts, and from them, the Spencers can trace their ancestry to other royal houses such as the Bourbons, the Medicis, the Wittelsbachs, the Hanovers, the Sforzas, and the Habsburgs. More-so, the Spencers are one of the very few British noble families to be the heirs body of a once sovereign family, being the senior female-line descendants of John Churchill, the once sovereign Prince of Mindelheim.

He married Isabel, daughter of John and Elizabeth Woodhall of Walden, Essex, a niece of Bishop Grindall. He died in 1615, and was buried next his father at Windsor.”

“Rev. William Wilson, D.D., of Merton College, Oxford, was also a prebendary of st. Paul’s and Rochester cathedrals, and held the rectory of cliffe, in the county of Kent. In 1584 he became canon of Windsor in place of dr. Will. Wickham promoted to the see of Lincoln, being about that time chaplain to Edmund (Grindall), Archbishop of Canterbury. He married Isabel Woodhall, daughter of John and Elizabeth Woodhall of Walden in Essex, and niece of Archbishop Grindall. He was buried in St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, near the body of his father, William Wilson, late of Wellsbourne, in Lincolnshire, Gent.”,

With Isabel he had six sons and six daughters.

He was “Rev. William Wilson, D.D., Canon of Windsor.”

“John Wilkinson, of London, gentleman, 3 May, 1614, . .. I do give and bequeath unto the Right Worshipfull my lving uncle William Wilson, Doctor of Divinity, five pounds and to every one of my loving cosens, his children, twenty shillings apiece.”

“Dame Mary Rowe, widow of Sir Thomas Row, Knight, late citizen and alderman of London . . by her will of 21 March, 1579, proved in the year 1582-3, bequeathed to William Wilsonn, parson of Cliff, als Clyve, in Kent, a ring of gold, or three pounds or three pounds in money, and to his wife a ring of gold or its equivilent in money. Rowe, 1.”

“He made his will on 23 August 1613, then, two years later, apparently sick and expecting to die, he added two codicils and died a few days later on 15 May 1615, aged 73. He was buried in the chael of Saint George by Windsor Casle as was his father. On the north side was a grave stone on which, in brass plates, was the figure of a man and this inscription. It is now gone. The inscription to his memory, now gone, was:” Inscription and will to be entered.

“Rev. William Wilson, in his will proved 27 May, 1615, mentions his godson William Sheafe when twenty-one; and in the codicil he mentions his son-in-law Mr. Dr. Thomas Sheafe.”

“two of New England’s greatest Divines, Hooker and Wilson, the latter of them, says Cotton Mather, ‘having for his mother a niece of Dr. Edmund Grindal;’ and the same veracious chronicler makes honorable mention, in his life of Wilson, of the ‘good kinsman of his, who deserves to live in the same story, as he now lives in the same Heaven, with him, namely, Mr. Edward Rawson, the honored Secretary of the Massachuset Colony.’ ”

“William Wilson was educated at Merton College, Oxford, was prebendary of St. Paul’s and Rochester Cathedral, Rector of Cliffe, Kent, and in 1584 became Canon of Windsor. He and his wife Anne’s wills are printed in Henry F. Waters, Genealogical Gleanings in England (Boston, 1901), 1:54, 55, 1397. Elias Ashmole in History and Antiquities of Berkshire (Reading, 1736) recorded monumental inscriptions to them once located in St. George’s Chapel but now lost. The shielf of arms to him and his wife, however, is still extant. the illustration below is from a rubbing [photo on file] ”

“Rev. William Wilson, D.D., ‘prebend of St. Paul’s, of Richester and of Windsor, and rector of Cliff [-at-Hoo, Kent], with his wife Isabel Woodhall, a niece of Edmunc Grindal, Archbishop of Canterbury. Rev. William Wilson, the father, was in contact with Henry Hastings, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon (the patron of John Mansfield) as shown by a surviving letter from Rev. Wilson to the Earl. As previous writers have been unaware of the Wilson-Huntingdon connection, it may be helpful to print the abstract of this letter.

‘1592/3], Jan. 29. Windsor. – I have made the abstract of the chantries of Windsor Chapel plainer and send than to you. It seems your chantry was appointed by the will of William, Lord Hastings, but was not perfected till after his death, by Dme Katheren, his wife, and his son Edward, Lord Hastings and Hungerford, which was the cause of the error in the abstract exhibited to you on Saturday last. I pray your purpose and our desires may take effect. Mr. Dean and my brethren have sent the late Lord Chancellor’s robe by the bringer hereof, Mr. Wulward, one of our brethren, for your to see. If you like it, please send word what you will give for it. Endorsed: ‘Wylson, a prebendary of Wynsor, J. 29.’ ”

“The career of William Wilson, D.D., appointed Canon of St. George’s, Windsor 10 Dec. 1584, is related in S.L. Ollard, Fasti Wyndesorienses: The Deans and Canons of Windsor (Historical Monographs Relating to St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, 8), 76. He was born 1545, attended Merton College, oxford (Fellow 1565, B.A. 1564, M.A. 1570, B.D. 1576, D.D. 1607), rector of Islip, do. Oxford, 1578, Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Prebendary of Rochester [Kent] 1591, 1614, Rector of Cliffe [near Rochester], Chancellor of St. Paul’s 1596-1615, died 15 May 1615, and was buried in St. George’s Chapel near his father (there was a monumental inscription (now lost) to his father, William Wilson, late of Wellsbourne, co. Lincoln., gentleman, who died at Windsor Castle 27 Aug. 1587]). The sketch of Edmund Wilson, M.D. (1583-1616) is given in the same source. 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.’ ”

“See J. Garnder Bartlett’s article on Wilson, Register [note 99].

“William Wilson, Canon of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle August, 1613, proved 27 May, 1615. To be buried in the chapel near the plsace where the body of my dear father lies. If I die at Rochester or in the County of Kent, then to be buried in the cathedral church of Rochester, near the bodies of wives Isabel and Anne. To my cousin College prebendary at Rochester.

In a codicil, dated 9 May, 1615, wherein he is styled William Wilson Doctor of Divinity, he directs his son Edmond to give to his son John forty pounds and to his wife forty marks, he gives to Lincoln College Oxford ten pounds toward a Library, and mentions son-in-law Mr Doctor Sheafe and daughter Gibbes. to this Thomas Sheafe was a witness, among others.

In another codicil, of 12 May, 1615, he says, I have provided for the husband of my daughter Isabel Givves a place in Windsor, in reversion, of some worth. His signature to this codicil was witnessed by David Rawson and William Newman. Rudd, 36.”

“Rev. William Wilson, D.D., of Merton College, Oxford, was also a prebendary of St. Paul’s and Rochester cathedrals, and held the rectory of Cliffe, in the county of Kent. In 1584 he became canon of Windsor in place of Dr. Will. Wickham promoted to the see of Lincoln, being about that time chaplain to Edmund (Grindall). Archbishop of Canterbury. He married Isabel Woodhall, daughter of John and Elizabeth Woodhall of Walden in Essex, and niece of Archbishop Grindall. He was buried in St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, near the body of his father, William Wilson, late of Wellsbourne, in Lincolnshire, Gent.”

“The following notes, taken from the History and Antiquities of Berkshire, by Elias Ashmole, Esq. (Reading, 1736), give the inscriptions found by that famous antiquary in the Chapel of St. George, Windsor Castle, relating to this family.

On the North Side lied a Grave-stone, on which, in Brass Plates, is the Figure of a Man, and this Inscription.

‘To me to live is Christ, and to dye is Gain.

Here underneath lied interr’d the Body of William Wilson, Doctour of Divinitie, and Prebendarie of this Church by the space of 32 yeares. He had Issue by Isabell his Wife six sons and six daughters.

Who thinke of Deathe in Lyfe, can never dye,

But mount through Faith, from Earth to heavenly Pleasure,

Weep then no more, though her his Body lye,

His Doul’s possest of never ending Treasure.’

On another small Brass Plate, on the same Grave-stone, is the following Inscription.

‘Neere unto this Place lyes buried William Willson, the third Son, Who, after a long Trial of grievous Sickness, did comfortably yield up his Spirit in the Yeare of our Lord 1610. of his Age 23.’

On a Brass Plate, on a Grave-Stone Northward of the last, is this Inscripition.

‘William Wilson, late of Wellsbourne, in the County of Lincolne, Gent. departed this Lyfe, within the castle of Windsor, in the Yeare of our Lord 1587. the 27th Day of August, and lyeth buried in this Place.’ P. 309.
