In your spiritual relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ you are either in the light or in the dark. Where does this belief of a grey area come from? This belief of God did not really mean that. It comes from the mouth of Satan himself.
3) but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
4) "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.
5) "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
God said "You will die" the devil said "you will not". There is no grey area. The father of all lies makes it sound like there is a grey area but there is none. You are either in the light or in the dark.
I find almost every time I speak of the Lord I say this statement: "God said what He meant and means what He said". The other thing I say just as much is, "find the will of God for you and do it".
I thank God every day for that scripture. It is not what we know in our head that counts, it is the attitude of heart. Is our attitude that of a child that wants to learn? In truth compared to God we are all childish, untaught, and unskilled. Especially when it comes to spiritual things, even when we think we have a grasp on something we have not even begun to scratch the surface. We have to rely on God as a child does his parents to survive or we will soon wander off into the woods of our understanding and starve. When we rely upon God and walk (verb means you are moving) in the light we are cleansed from all sin.
We sin, we confess it, and He is faithful and just and will forgive us and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. You are in the light cleansed from ALL sin. That is what God said, that is what He meant, BELIEVE IT.
God does not convict you of a sin unless He also reveals what the sin is, that would be pointless and leave you clueless. Every time I have been convicted of a sin I knew what it was I needed to repent of. Some times it is an attitude or a way I have handled or done things that I have practiced for years. God has known about it, He is God. But for what ever reason it was now that He chooses to shine His Light on it and it is revealed to me as sin and I must repent. The closer you are to a light the better you see.
A large majority of problems that the people that we meet and the letters and emails that we get have one root problem, disobedience to what God said. If you turn for an instance from obedience, darkness is at once at work.
Some people believe, speaking of obedience in this way, get up and get a glass of milk, fill the glass only half full, and drink it in three swallows. These people go through their whole day this way and God never cared if they got a glass of milk or not.
The revelations that God wants to give you in your life are sitting there waiting to be opened, turned on. You turn them on by obedience. People spend hours on the Internet, read books on all sorts of subjects, try to discern if this is right or that and sometimes end up with garbage that they think sounds right. When if they would just get serious about obedience, immediately the light would turn on.
Sounds simple does it not? A child could do that. A child obeys their parent and learns something, gets some direction, grows more mature. Put the round peg in the round hole son, the child does this and the light goes on and realizes the square peg and the square hole look like they might fit.
Obey God in the thing He shows you and the light will go on for the next thing.
The two things God wants and it is repeated in hundreds of Scriptures is a heart that is totally devoted to Him and a person that will fulfill all of His will. Partial obedience is disobedience. There is no grey area. This might not be a great way to put this but it works for me. Picture yourself in a room and this room contains all the circumstances and situations you are in. Everything: relationships, financial circumstances, your responsibilities to yourself and to others are there in the room with you. God has a way and a means for you to deal with everything in this room and that is called His will for you. He wants you to arrange the furniture His way as it were. You must do this and the first room is generally the hardest. You must go over each and every thing and take it in prayer to God and His Word. Ask Him to show you again His will for each thing and what to do. You may see where you missed what God was saying in the beginning. He has not changed His mind and will show you again what you are to do. If you see that you have disobeyed, repent of what you did or did not do and seek what He wants you to do now.
The day I accepted Jesus Christ as my LORD and Savior the pastor of that Church told me to go and pray: to seek God's will on where I was suppose to attend Church. That pastor was more concerned that I do the will of God in my life than to build his flock larger. He said, "God has a place where your gifts will make room for you and they will be gifted to teach you." He said, "You can now call God your Father and He calls you His son, He has a plan for you and you have the responsibility to follow it." I wish I could have more fully learned that lessen then. It would have saved me a world of hurt.
This is not always easy. People, including myself, have gotten into horrendous situations. Painful, hurting situations. In hind sight you may see where you stepped off the path and you now see where it landed you. If so, repent of it and see what God leads you to do now. This is very important. Find out the will of the Lord now, some things you can not undo. Even when you now know God's will and obey it, it can be a painful, hurting path to set things right. You must want God's will and only God's will in your life. Your heart must be totally devoted to Him.
Eventually this room will be all straightened up and here is where a wondrous thing occurs. You will see a door to another room that was not there before and you know it is God that opened it to you and you go through. Inside this new room is all sorts of new experiences and situations you can apply God's will to. But you go in there moving in the will of God and you start in this new room by doing only the will of God. You learn from every situation and every circumstance and grow in the knowledge of God and His grace. You will make mistakes, but you will grow. You grow closer and closer to Christ as you walk along this path of the Father's will with Him. He knows it well. When you are done in this room another door opens, and so on. Some rooms are as large as countries and take years to finish, others are small and cramped. We all like it when we are sharing Christ with others under the anointing of the Holy Spirit like Jesus in the boat speaking to the listening crowds. What a wonderful "room" to be in. But what of Joseph, put in prison for a crime he did not commit? Not a pleasant room at all. Are you willing to let God engineer your life? Sometimes God will put you in a room that has very little to do with you, but you have to go through it, for later you will use that experience to help others. Are you willing to do what it takes to be used? To go where God wants to take you? He is with you every step of the way and at times it is a walk on the beach, other times it is a hard climb.
You start this process knowing the cost. You should realize it is not about you, it is not about what others think about you, it is not about what you think of others. It is all about God, and as you do this it soon becomes a habit, a good habit. Jesus said, "My yoke is easy, My burden light." Your faith grows as you see and experience the faithfulness of God. You enter that rest that God has promised you. Whether in the boat or in the prison, God is with you.
Do you believe that the circumstance, the situation that you're in right now, no matter how you got in it, is a surprise to God? It is not. God did not sit back and say, "Wow, I never saw that coming." He knows exactly where you are at and exactly how you got there. His arm is not too short or His power too weak to lift you up and out. Quite the opposite, He is willing. The question is: are you willing to seek Him, listen and be obedient?
Understand that all these things in the room are not the only things in the room. You are in it too, and God is absolutely going to deal with you as a Father deals with His child. He loves you with a jealous love and He is going to show you everything that separates you, the object of His love, from Him.
7) You must submit to and endure [correction] for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not [thus] train and correct and discipline?
8) Now if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all [of God's children] share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons [at all].
9) Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded [to them] and respected [them for training us]. Shall we not much more cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so [truly] live?
10) For [our earthly fathers] disciplined us for only a short period of time and chastised us as seemed proper and good to them; but He disciplines us for our certain good, that we may become sharers in His own holiness.
11) For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness--in conformity to God's will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God].
13) And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured.
God tells us here right up front that this discipline is not a joy to go through, and He also tells us what it yields so we understand why we must be trained by it. He also said no true son or daughter is exempt. There are walls in your natural nature that you have built and rely on. God will break them down and it can hurt.
And while He was in Bethany, [a guest] in the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining [at table], a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment (perfume) of pure nard, very costly and precious; and she broke the jar and poured [the perfume] over His head.
You are the alabaster jar and God will break you. Your natural self life will be broken and cracked again and again so the sweet scent of Christ can fill the room.
Many know God's Word and then do what they want to do anyway. They are now reaping what they sowed. They, like Eve, heard the serpent's voice, "you will not surely die," "God's ok with this, look what you can get." You will fall and you will reap what you sow. Disobedience, sin, has a price and it can lead to death. So repent of your sin and seek what God would have you do now.
I can give many examples. A woman marries a nonbeliever, she fell in love (why did she put herself in that position to start with?) and of course he's the one and of course God will save him (there is that nonexistent grey area). It's been five years and he flat out wants nothing to do with Christ. He does not want her to go to Church, wants her to go out to the bars, get drunk, party, like other couples he knows. Her relationship with Jesus has put a strain on her relationship with her husband.
What would you do if you where in her place? God's Word is plain and God's will always lines up with His Word. It is not easy in this situation but it is plain.
She should have never put herself in this situation, disobeyed what was written from the get go. True, she can repent of that, she can be forgiven, but she is still married. What does God's Word say to those who are married to unbelievers? The man is not abusive, works hard for his family, just does not want Christ. She must tell him as the Word tells her that she will be the best wife to him as she can be, but Jesus comes first. She does not submit to things that are sin and she has to obey God when it comes to his Word. It is God's Word that tells her to be the best wife she can be and it is God's Word that says do not forsake fellowship with other believers. He may be fine with that or he may not. Either way she has to stand on God's Word and follow Christ. She has to be obedient to God where in the beginning she was not.
It is said all the time "just walk with Jesus and He will bring you through." This is true. Realize that His pace is different from yours, His strides are different from your natural ones. You must be trained and disciplined to keep His pace. You must be willing to allow Him to do this. You are the one who must make what is His goal into your goal. If you are born again of His Spirit and yoked to Him should this not be the case? Or are you still trying to pull a different way?
When we talk about doing God's will there are two great hindrances. One is yourself. You want to do things the way you want to do them and you want the results you wanted when you did them. God spoke to Adam and Eve and said one "don't." One tree in the whole garden He said, "You must not eat from." What tree is there in your life that God is saying "don't?" It is the one you have to disobey God to eat from. No grey area.
God said to trust in Him with all your heart and "lean not to your understanding." You find you are not only leaning on that tree of your understanding, you are hugging it for dear life. God does not take your free will from you. He tells us to use our free will to choose to do His will.
The other hindrance is our enemy, who hates you with a hate so deep we cannot even understand it, and he hates God even more. The devil will let you do all the things you think are good and Godly and not lift a finger to stop you. But the one thing that is God's will for you, if you start to do that everything and everyone comes out of the woodwork to try to stop you. Discouragement, "that's not God", "are you nuts" you find hell is suddenly awake and you woke it. Why? Because the devil knows when you obey God you are a threat to him, he knows that you will grow and become a bigger threat to him. Satan was trying to put a stop to God's plan for the human race with Adam and Eve and is trying to now. I say this quite a lot too, the devil is evil, not stupid. His hate may blind him in that he still thinks he can defeat God. He is not blind to how to lie and push our buttons and how we react. He is not blind on how to use the things (some seem so good and noble) that we want to keep us from the things God wants for us.
As you grow in Christ through obedience you will grow more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Do these two things, first abandon yourself to God; love Him with total devotion, with "all your heart, soul, mind and strength." Second, seek His will and do it fully. It may take you down roads that you had not planned but it is His plan and it is a good plan. Day by day, room by room, you will fulfill what He created you to be and do. No grey areas, no darkness, just the Light and Love of God filling you. But remember, it is your responsibility to clean up your room.

Ladies of Magna Carta: Women of Influence in Thirteenth Century England
By Sharon Bennett Connolly
I admit I did not know a great deal about the Magna Carta. I have read a little about the Baron's revolt and the rule of King John, but everything I had read was through the eyes and doings of the men at the time. Sharon Bennett Connolly's book strips this away and views the creation of the Magna Carter through the eyes of the women that lived during this momentous time in English history. This was a fascinating angle to explore and I was genuinely surprised to learn how the women of this age were far more than the meek, helpless women often portrayed in history.
Bennet Connolly explores the lives of a number of women during this age in English history. Some of these women were able to fight against the expectations of the time and rise to power and hold a great deal of influence. Bennett Connolly explores how these women were able to use the Magna Carter to their own benefit and the benefit of their families. Yet on the other hand there were women who were horrifically affected by the Magna Carter and the rule of King John and who was helpless to the decisions of others. Bennett Connolly details their tragic lives and how thee women suffered greatly because of the Magna Carter.
This was a fantastic book. It is clear from the very start that Bennett Connolly has done a great deal of research for this book. It is difficult to gain an understanding of the thoughts, feelings and personal actions of women during this time when the world, both political and personal was dominated by men. Yet Bennet Connolly has used primary sources such as court records and letters to bring these fascinating women to life once more.
I thoroughly enjoyed Sharon Bennett Connolly's book focusing on the ladies who were affected by and lived through the creation of the Magna Carta. I highly recommend!

Sir William Brandon II
On the 22nd of August 1485 King Richard III met his death at the Battle of Bosworth field. With his death ended the rule of the Plantagenet Kings. Yet only a short time earlier in the battle another man had died by the lance of Richard III. His name was Sir William Brandon II and it would be his son, almost thirty years later, that would become King Henry VIII's most beloved and closest friend.
Sir William Brandon's father was Sir William Brandon of Wangford and Southwark I (b. approx. 1425 d. 1491). WilliamBrandon I rose from relative security under the service of John de Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk. Before the Duke died in 1476 he granted Sir William a seat in the local Parliament and also the marriage to Elizabeth Wingfield (d. 28th April 1497). William had a long list of accomplishments including becoming Marshal of the King's Bench, Burgess (M.P) for Shoreham, Knight for the Shire of Suffolk and Collector of Customs at Kings Lynn and Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. He was a close friend and adviser to the Duke of Norfolk and his son as well as being made Marshal of the Marshalsea Prison. He was well known to Edward IV and was present at the battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury, after the latter he was Knighted for his efforts.
Sir William and Elizabeth Wingfield had three sons, Robert Brandon, William and the youngest Thomas as well as seven daughters.
William Brandon II followed in his father's footsteps, becoming involved with matters of government. On 15th November 1476, William was listed as an esquire that was part of a commission of 'oyer and terminer' to explore offences committed by several men in the country of Essex.
William Brandon II married Elizabeth Bruyn of South Ockendon sometime between 1473 and 1476. Elizabeth was the daughter and co-heiress of Sir Henry Bruyn. Elizabeth had first been married to Thomas Tyrell Esquire who had died in 1473. Sir Bruyn had died in 1466 leaving Elizabeth a portion of her father's wealth. Elizabeth survived the death of her husband William in 1485 and went on to marry William Mallory, Esquire. Elizabeth died on 7 March 1494.
William and Elizabeth had three children, a first-born son named William after his father, a daughter named Anne and Charles, the youngest. Charles would go on to become Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, beloved friend and brother in law to King Henry VIII.
King Edward IV died on 9th April 1483; his successor was his twelve-year-old son, also named Edward. Understanding the turmoil that a young boy might have in his early reign Edward had left his younger brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, as protector to guide the young Edward V in the ways of kingship until he reached the age of majority. To keep the young king and his younger brother, Richard Duke of York, safe after the death of their father, and to prepare for the coronation, Richard took the boys to the Tower of London. Then just before Edward's coronation, Richard had the boys declared illegitimate because his brother had been precontracted to marry Lady Eleanor Butler and thus the children Edward IV had with his wife Elizabeth Woodville, were illegitimate. As his brother's only legitimate heir Richard was asked by Parliament to take the throne and on 26 June 1483 was crowned King. Neither Edward or Richard were ever seen or heard from again and are known to history as 'The Princes in the Tower'.
William continued his service under the new King, however this would change when the Duke of Buckingham rebelled against Richard III. The Brandon family decided to hedge their bets. With four adult Brandon men, William Brandon I, William II, Robert and Thomas, the family chose to align William II and Thomas with Buckingham and Henry Tudor, Robert Brandon with Richard III and Sir William Brandon I fled into sanctuary. If Buckingham were to be victorious and Henry Tudor was to come to the throne, then the Brandon's would support the new king. If the rebellion failed and Richard III remained as king – as happened – then Robert Brandon would still have been seen to support the Yorkist King. Meanwhile Sir William Brandon I would have found safety in sanctuary. This was a smart move, one which allowed the family, no matter the outcome, to be on the winning side.
The rebellion was arranged for 18th October 1483; however, rebels in Kent rose early and began to march upon London. Richard III was now alerted to the uprising and sent John Howard, Duke of Norfolk to crush the rebels. It was vitally important that Buckingham and his men were able to meet up with supporters in the West. The weather was appalling with constant rain causing the rivers Severn and Wye to break their banks, thus flooding the surrounding lands making it virtually impossible for Buckingham to progress. Soon his soldiers began to retreat. Knowing that his cause was lost, Buckingham fled to seek refuge with Ralph Banastre, one of his retainers. However, there was a price upon Buckingham's head, and Banastre betrayed the duke. Buckingham was arrested, and in the market place at Salisbury on 2 November, he was beheaded.
In 1484 brothers William and Thomas Brandon left England and headed to Brittany to join Henry Tudor. It is unknown where William, his brother Thomas and wife Elizabeth departed from England. One possibility was from Dover to Calais, and then they travelled overland to Brittany. Another possibility is they left England from a more westerly point such as Southampton. On 28th March 1484, a general pardon was granted to William Brandon II 'the younger, 'gentilman,' alias esquire, son of William Brandon of the country of Norfolk, knight, of all offences committed by him before 27 March.'
It is unclear if this pardon was issued before or after William Brandon II left to join Henry Tudor. If it was, then William may not have trusted the king's words. If the pardon had been issued after William had left for Brittany, it might be that he had no knowledge of it, or if he had, then he might have felt it simply too late as he had already thrown in his lot with Henry Tudor. Whatever the reason for not accepting this pardon, it was believed at this time William's wife Elizabeth was pregnant with their second son, Charles.
To William Brandon II and his family Henry Tudor must have signified hope and a future. The Wars of the Roses had brought a great deal of upheaval to England and now leaving the country they placed all their hope in Henry Tudor and his campaign. Laying claim to the English throne was one thing but obtaining it was another. Throughout 1483/84 Henry and his ever growing group of supporters relied heavily upon Duke Francis of Brittany for support and received payments from the Duke to help pay for their day to day upkeep. In September 1484 Henry Tudor threw himself upon the mercy of King Charles VII of France and begged him for support for his campaign. The King agreed and helped Henry and his supporters purchase resources and mercenaries for the campaign ahead.
On the 24th March 1485, William Brandon II was ordered to forfeit all possessions that had formally belonged to his wife Elizabeth's first husband Thomas Tyrell and return them to Thomas Bruyn. It was claimed that Elizabeth's husband Thomas had stolen the possessions from her male relative Thomas and claimed them for his own. Upon his death and Elizabeth's remarriage, these possessions had passed to William Brandon, and he was ordered to return them to Thomas Bruyn.
By April 11th William Brandon II was being referred to as a rebel in government documents. On this date, Philip Constable, servant of Richard III, was granted all the lands belonging to William Brandon II in Killingholme, Lincoln and a yearly rent of 20l from the residents of Brandon's manor in Southcarleton, Lincoln.
On 27th May of the same year, William Brandon II was ordered to return the manor of South Workington and two acres of land in Stifford, Essex to John Henyngham. It was declared that the property rightfully belonged to William's sister-in-law, Alice Bruyn and her husband, John Henyngham. When Alice died, John claimed the land. However, William Brandon 'unjustly expelled' John from the land and claimed it as his own. John had also died, and the manor and land reverted to the Crown.
Then finally on 7th July an act of Attainder was passed on William Brandon II. The act stripped Brandon of all his land, manors, property and wealth, which reverted to the Crown. In addition to this, the act charged Brandon with high treason. As well as losing all his property, land and possessions Brandon, if captured, would be sentenced to a traditor's death without trial.
After fourteen years of exile, Henry Tudor set sail from France on 1 August 1485 to lay claim to the English throne. He set sail from the port of Harfleur, only six miles east up the River Seine, from the Normandy coastal port of Le Havre, accompanied by approximately 2,000 soldiers. The exact number of men is hard to estimate as different reports record different numbers. What is known is that William Brandon II was by his side.
Landing on the 7th of August at Mill Bay six miles west of Milford Haven located along the Pembrokeshire coastline it is said that when he reached the coast Henry knelt down and kissed the sand reciting Psalm 43 "Judge me, O Lord and favour my cause". He then made the sign of the cross. At Mill Bay Henry was met by his half Uncle David Owen, illegitimate son of Tudor Owen Henry's grandfather. Gathering his men Henry headed off across land to lay claim to the English throne.
Their first stop was the village of Dale of which its castle surrendered easily. Henry and his men camped here and the future King made sure to remind his men not to get up to any trouble. The troops then moved on through Haverfordwest and Cardigan then northward to Llwyn Dafydd. After this they claimed the garrison at Aberystwyth Castle and then turned to march inland. On August 13th they reached Machynlleth and the next day they made a thirty mile trek across rough terrain to Dolarddun. Following this the growing army headed to Long Mountain where Henry met with Rhys ap Thomas, an important man who carried a great deal of sway with the Welsh people. Rhys pledged his loyalty to Henry and brought approximately 2000 troops to Henry's cause.
With his growing number of troops Henry then headed to Shrewsbury. However the portcullises were closed and Henry and his men were not given permission to pass. The next day Henry sent a messenger to negotiate with those in charge at Shrewsbury and after a mysterious message from an outside source was sent to the head bailiff Henry and his men were allowed to pass through and a number of men from the town joined Henry's forces.
From Shrewsbury Henry travelled through Shropshire and Staffordshire. It was here at Staffordshire that Sit Gilbert Talbot and a troop of about 500 men joined with Henry. The men marched to Stafford where Henry would meet Sir William Stanley, younger brother of Henry's stepfather.
From Stafford Henry and his men marched through Lichfield arriving at Tamworth on the 20th of August. The next day his men marched over the River Anker to Atherstone where Henry is reported to have had a secret meeting with his father in law. It was at this meeting that allegedly Thomas Stanley pledged his formal support for his step son.
The next day, on the 21st August, Henry Tudor sent a message to his stepfather asking him to send his men to join Henry's troops. To this Stanley replied that he needed to prepare his men and for now it appeared he kept his distance. Also, on the 21st August Henry chose to knight several men who had shown great loyalty to him throughout his time in exile. These men included Sir Richard Guildford, Sir John Jastoy, Sir John Sisley, Sir John Trenzy, Sir William Tyler, Sir Thomas Milborn and Sir William Brandon II.
The Battle of Bosworth Field took place on 22nd August 1485. It is estimated that Henry had an army of between 5 – 8,000 soldiers going up against King Richard III's 12 – 20,000 men. Thomas and William Stanley had a combined force of approximately 6,000 men, which had not yet been committed to either side.
Lacking experience in military action, Henry Tudor appointed the more experienced Earl of Oxford to command his troops and to lead the vanguard. Sir Gilbert Talbot took the right-wing and was ordered to defend the archers and keep an eye on the battle line, while John Savage was to lead the left-wing. Henry Tudor was positioned with several French mercenaries that he had brought with him from France and to the rear of the troops. Standing close to Henry was Sir William Brandon II.
Facing them, on King Richard's side was John Howard, Duke of Norfolk with Sir Robert Brackenbury leading the Yorkist vanguard. The rear guard was commanded by Richard III and comprised of his bodyguard and other soldiers. Behind him was the Earl of Northumberland and his men.
When the battle cry went up, arrows fired and the roar of Richard III's artillery filled the air. Oxford's men clashed with the Duke of Norfolk's, the two being old foes. Both sides paused to reorientate themselves. Oxford formed his men into a wedge and charged forward. At this second charge, Henry's French troops attacked Norfolk's vanguard. Soon Norfolk's men were in trouble, and many were killed including the duke, others fled while some defected to fight on Henry Tudor's side.
Northumberland and his men did not move into the fight, and it is believed that at some point the earl decided to leave the battle without employing any of his men in the fray. Among this chaos, some of the king's supporters begged Richard III to flee, but he declared that he would live or die as a king. Oxford's men had pushed forward leaving a gap, and Richard III saw an opportunity to get to Henry Tudor. He charged with his men, aiming to strike Henry down.
As he charged, Richard III's lance pierced through Henry's standard-bearer, Sir William Brandon II and broke in half. History records that William Brandon 'hevyd on high' [the Tudor standard] 'and vamisyd it, tyll with deathe's dent he was tryken downe.' One can only imagine what was racing through Sir William's mind in those last few moments as Richard III and his men came thundering towards him. He had given up his property, his land, his wealth, everything he had to support Henry Tudor. He had bid his wife and infant son farewell to follow Henry to England in the hopes of a better life, not just for himself or his family, but for England. It was his sworn duty to protect Henry Tudor with his life and as Richard III's lance pierced through his armour and threw him from his horse, he gave up his life to save the man he believed to be the rightful King of England. Sir William Brandon II had been loyal to his last breath.
Richard III and his men continued fighting their way forward, the battle was fierce and heated, and Henry became separated from the Earl of Oxford and his men. At this point, William Stanley and his men charged down in support of Henry Tudor and the rival armies clashed. At some point, Richard III was killed. Vergil wrote that 'king Richerd alone was killyd fyghting manfully in the thickkest presse of his enemyes'. Despite what people thought of his rule, Richard III fought bravely until his final breath.
After Henry was declared victorious, he ordered that all those who had died to be given a decent burial and the wounded tended to. Many of those that died were buried at the nearby church of St James the Greater, Dadlington. Sir William Brandon II was the only member of nobility on Henry Tudor's side killed at Bosworth. Unfortunately, the exact location of Brandon's grave remains unknown. For a man that had died so loyalty trying to protect his King, Sir William Brandon II's final resting place has been forgotten.

1520: The Field of the Cloth of Gold
By Amy Licence
The Field of the Cloth of Gold is a fascinating and detailed look at the famous meeting between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France that took place in 1520.
Right from the start, it is evident that author Amy Licence has done a great deal of research for this book. She has studied documents including letters from ambassadors, inventories, personal letters, and records kept both privately and publicly from such sources as English, Italian, French and Venetian (just to name a few). If there is a reference to the happenings before, during or after the famous event then you can be sure Amy Licence has studied it! Using this wealth of information Licence gives a brief background about Henry VIII, his wife Katherine of Aragon, Francis I and his wife Claude and then moves on to discuss the political reasons as to why this magnificent meeting took place.
The Field of the Cloth of Gold was an event that lasted over two weeks that had, quite literally, thousands upon thousands of people involved. Licence details the multitude of jobs that were required to bring this event to life, from builders to carpenters, from cooks to seamstresses, from servants to painters. The number of people involved was just incredible and it is almost overwhelming to learn how much work these people did to ensure a successful and grand meeting between these two powerful Kings. I was fascinated by the lists that Licence included such as the range of food that people ate, the wages paid to workers and the massive amount of materials needed. It is details such as this, that are often not included in other recounts of the event, that shows just how much research Licence has done for this book. As well as all of this, Licence discusses, again in detail, the different things that took place each day. From the first meeting between Henry VIII and Francis I, through to their respective Queen's meeting, to the lavish dances that were presented, the jousting and other sporting events that were undertaken, the magnificent feasts held and then the final meeting between both kings.
Following on from such a detailed description of The Field of the Cloth of Gold, Licence discusses the political results from the meeting. She talks about both the short and long term relations between England and France and the impact that the event had upon both countries as well as greater Europe.
The Field of the Cloth of Gold is a fascinating, detailed book which does not miss a single detail. It is, quite honestly, amazing that such a massive event was able to be successfully accomplished! Licence does a wonderful job of discussing both the political and personal impacts of this event on England, France and wider Europe. I really enjoyed this book and found it an engaging read. Licence has a fluid writing style that really captures the reader and this book is a testament to that style. Highly Recommended!
Lovell our Dogge: The Life of Viscount Lovell, Closest Friend of Richard III and Failed Regicide
By Michele Schindler
Michele Schindler's book on Sir Francis Lovell is a long-overdue study of an extraordinary man. A man who gave up the promise of a pardon and the return of his lands, property and position, to seek justice for his close and beloved friend, Richard III.
Schindler details the early years of Lovell's life. As well as detailing information about Lovell's grandparents, parents and siblings she also discusses the interesting relationship that Lovell had with his father. Schindler provides very plausible evidence to suggest that Lovell may have been abused in some manner by his father, a horrific thing to happen to a child and a strong reason as to why Lovell never had prayers said for the man after his death.
Lovell's rise to his majority and then through the political ranks seems almost insignificant. He was a man who came across as emotional, caring deeply about his friends and family and caring little for the turbulent life at court. That is not to say he was not proficient at the duties he was given at court. He showed himself to be extremely skilled in organization and preparation and was heavily relied on by Richard III. In fact, Lovell became Lord Chamberlin for Richard III, a position that required Lovell to be in close contact with the King, to have control over who got to see the king and required a huge amount of trust and loyalty. And loyal Lovell was.
After Richard III's death at the Battle of Bosworth Lovell continued to prove his loyalty to his king and beloved friend. He sought sanctuary and there he turned down a pardon from Henry VII, giving up his freedom and life in order to seek justice and perhaps revenge for the death of his friend. From here Lovell helped to organize a rebellion, attempted capture of Henry and even an assassination attempt upon the new king.
Lovell played an important part in the uprising of 1487 where John de la Pole, the Earl of Lincoln led an army against Henry VII. History tells us that the rebels were crushed and Lincoln killed but what of Lovell? That perhaps is one of the greatest mysteries in history. After the 16th June 1487, Lovell was not seen again. What happened to him? Where did he go? Why did no one give him up or speak of his whereabouts? All these questions and more Schindler discusses in her book, though I will not give away her findings!
Lovell our Dogge is an absolutely fascinating book about a man often forgot to history. Francis Lovell was a well respected, deeply loved man who was fiercely loyal to his friend and king, Richard III. Although he held no love for political life, he still performed all his duties to the very best of his abilities. He gave up the chance for freedom to seek justice for the wrong he felt committed against his beloved friend and ultimately gave his life for this cause.
Michele Schindler has clearly delved into a huge array of primary sources from the time, not just from England but also from Europe. If there is a mention of Lovell out there I am sure Schindler has read it!
This is a brilliant book. Well written and captivating to read, I highly recommend getting a copy!
A Pauper's History of England: 1,000 Years of Peasants, Beggars and Guttersnipes
by Peter Stubley
Peter Stubley's book explores the people on the lowest rung of England's history from the Doomsday book of 1086, through to the peasant's revolt of 1831, onto Tudor England and the Victorian age. Peasants, beggars, prostitutes, pickpockets, conmen, the insane and many more are explored through the pages of this fascinating book.
At first glance this book may appear depressing, examining the lives of people who could often not even feed themselves, but the author takes on a different strategy to tell these stories. Instead of delving headfirst into the grime and misery of England's history, the author acts as a guide, and we the reader are walked through the streets and homes of these vastly different people. The entire book is written as though the reader is on a journey, Stubley our guide, encouraging us to look right at a pickpocket in action or left at a conman selling his wares. We the reader are able to explore different places, poor houses, back streets, asylums and even homes all while sitting in the comfort and safety of our own lives! I thought this was an absolutely fantastic idea as not only is it a different and interesting way to explore history, it also allows the reader not to get bogged down in the heaviness of the subject.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I learnt a great deal about the darker, poorer side of England throughout the centuries as well as the various and evolving poor relief schemes and laws that were created to try and help the destitute. Definitely a must read!

Any investment in an investment trust involves risk. You should be aware of the following risks when considering investing.
The value of your investment
The investment trusts managed by Baillie Gifford & Co Limited are listed UK companies and are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The value of their shares, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested.
Overseas investment
The Trust invests in overseas securities. Changes in the rates of exchange may also cause the value of your investment (and any income it may pay) to go down or up.
The Trust can borrow money to make further investments (sometimes known as "gearing" or "leverage"). The risk is that when this money is repaid by the Trust, the value of the investments may not be enough to cover the borrowing and interest costs, and the Trust will make a loss. If the Trust's investments fall in value, any invested borrowings will increase the amount of this loss.
The Trust can buy back its own shares. The risks from borrowing, referred to above, are increased when a trust buys back its own shares.
Market values for securities which have become difficult to trade may not be readily available and there can be no assurance that any value assigned to such securities will accurately reflect the price the Trust might receive upon their sale.
The Trust can make use of derivatives to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to assets and may result in the Trust being leveraged. Derivatives are most often used to compensate for possible unfavourable currency and market movements. This may result in greater movements (down or up) in the net asset value of the Trust. It is not our intention that the use of derivatives will significantly alter the overall risk profile of the Trust. A further risk exists in respect of the counterparty with whom the derivative transaction is made. Due care and diligence is exercised in the selection of counterparties, however, the possibility of the counterparty failing to pay sums due to the Trust still remains.
Smaller Immature Companies
Investment in smaller, immature companies is generally considered higher risk as changes in their share prices may be greater and the shares may be harder to sell. Smaller, immature companies may do less well in periods of unfavourable economic conditions.
The Trust's risk could be increased by its investment in private companies. These assets may be more difficult to buy or sell, so changes in their prices may be greater.
Charges to capital
The Trust charges 75% of the investment management fee and borrowing costs to capital which reduces the capital value. Also, where income is low, the remaining expenses may be greater than the total income received, meaning the Trust may not pay a dividend and the capital value would be further reduced.
Income is less important
The aim of the Trust is to achieve capital growth. You should not expect a significant, or steady, annual income from the Trust.
You should note that tax rates and reliefs may change at any time and their value depends on your circumstances.
The Trust is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

On the Brink
The Great Lakes in the 21st Century
Dave Dempsey
As one of the world's great natural treasures, the Great Lakes have also served in recent decades as an early warning system for many emerging environmental problems. In the early twenty-first century, as the Lakes face unprecedented challenges, we need to revisit both the wonder of the Lakes and the perils plaguing them, and to take action to protect this majestic ecosystem.
Dave Dempsey weaves the natural character and phenomena of the Great Lakes and stories of the schemes, calamities, and unusual human residents of the Basin with the history of their environmental exploitation and recovery. Contrasting the incomparable beauty and complexity of the Lakes, and the poetry, folklore, and citizen action they have inspired, with the disasters that short-sighted human folly has inflicted on the ecosystem, Dempsey makes this history both engaging and relevant to today's debates and decisions.
Underlying the neglectful treatment of the Lakes are two irreconcilable and faulty human assumptions: that the Lakes are a system so big that human beings cannot do great harm to it, and that the Lakes are a resource that can be bent to the will of humankind. Dempsey finds evidence that, despite great changes in the laws governing the Lakes and public attitudes toward them in the last fifty years, government policy and institutions are still dominated by these dangerous attitudes.
A central theme of On the Brink is that citizens, who have displayed an increasing sense of commitment to the Lakes and a growing sense of place, must challenge their leaders to reform Great Lakes institutions. While everything from large-scale water exports to global climate change looms in the future of the Lakes, single-purpose solutions do not suffice—no more than a Band- aid would on a gaping wound. Dempsey shows that it is necessary to create a governing system that reflects the realities of life "on the ground" in communities and that taps into the passion and determination of citizens to protect these treasures.

Rare Map of the Western Mediterranean
Finely executed map of the western Mediterranean and environs, published to illustrate the work of French traveler and writer Aubry de la Motraye.
As a result of the religious persecution that struck the Protestants in France at the end of the 17th century, Motraye moved to England. Beginning in 1695, he made several trips in the Mediterranean and the Ottoman Empire . In June 1711 he was introduced to Charles XII, the King of Sweden, who was then living in exile in Ottoman Bender, following Peter the Great's invasion of Sweden. Motraye thereafter wrote an in-depth description of the King's and the other Swedes' camps in Bender, the captivity in Demotika and the return to Sweden.
In 1720, Motraye returned to England, where for a few years he was engaged in drafting a manuscript on his travels. The work was published in English in 1723 under the title Travels through Europe, Asia and into part of Africa, illustrated with engravings by William Hogarth . In 1727, a French version was published, with partly different content.
During the 1720s, Motraye made further trips in Europe, which he also described in book form.

Engage with Wadoryu - British Wadokai © British Wadokai 1973. Copyright.
Karate clubs, in general, are usually run by loud, shouting, egotistical instructors who's only aim in life is to inflict as much pain and suffering on their students as they possibly can.
Generally, we find, that this type of instructor has very little intelligence, as the instructor places his students in a position of inferiority, so a student has no ability to grow to understand through questioning the techniques being taught (I have observed many karate instructors, such as this, with these 'superiority complexes'). However in Wadoryu, on the other hand, being a more 'intellectually-motivated' system, tends to cater for the more intellectually-responsive student. The reason for this, of course, is that the Wadoryu system requires an active open-mind that is susceptible to receive the required information; especially due to the vastness of the knowledge available.
Wadoryu needs students who are receptive, rather than cowering in the corners of the Dojo in a trembling mass of fear. Yes, there will always be a need for a degree of discipline in many Wado Dojo, which is why 'self-discipline' is always encouraged rather than an overbearing 'forced' discipline, which is additionally maintained by a league of immature bullying 'assistant instructors'.
In Wadoryu, a student progresses through the system and 'evolves' techniques, stances, and fundamentals related to his grading requirements as he goes. The progress is natural and very demanding with each step of the way, due to each step covering new principles, etc. Progress in Wadoryu is made by gently explained instruction and personal experience through trial and error - The student learns from himself, as well as the instructor and others.
Remember, Wadoryu is NOT karate, Wadoryu is NOT Jujutsu - Wadoryu is an amalgam of both, which is a system of its own.
We do not follow the modern karate mentality of cloning a student into looking (or thinking) like his instructor, we allow the student to grow within himself to become a better person and to become better than his instructor. Teach through example, not through fear.

Effort to vaccinate the world failing with rich countries still hoarding doses
As rich countries begin delivering booster shots, 98 per cent of people living in poor countries remain unvaccinated against COVID-19.
NSW has passed the 90 per cent double vaccinated milestone but some countries, such as Burundi and Congo, have less than 0.1 per cent double vaccinated. And fewer than 10 per cent of countries in Africa have met their vaccination goal of 40 per cent double vaccinated in 2021.
Wealthy countries have received more than 16 times more vaccines per person than poor countries, according to analysis by the Financial Times.
Low-income countries have been relying on Covax, a global vaccine-sharing initiative backed by the World Health Organization (WHO), to secure vaccines. But the initiative has been marred by supply issues, delivery delays and poor organisation.
Covax has so far managed to deliver only 400 million of an already reduced projection of 1.4 billion doses.
To meet its 2021 targets, Covax will need to distribute 1.1 billion vaccines before the end of the year. But there are fears that even if 14 million doses were to be delivered per day, they would overwhelm local health systems and lead to vaccines going to waste.
Vaccine supplies
Rich countries have pledged to donate 785 million doses to Covax, but by September only 18 per cent of these donations had arrived, many just weeks before expiry.
Covax estimates oversupply in rich countries could provide between 1 and 5 billion doses to donate. But Canada, which purchased enough doses to vaccinate its population five times over, shipped its first donation of 3.4 million doses only last month.
The US has pledged 500 million doses to Covax in 2022 but has already begun donating doses to Indonesia and Vietnam where it is vying for influence against China.
As the Pacific reckons with its third wave of the virus, Australia's closest neighbours Papua New Guinea and Indonesia have vaccinated only 1 per cent and 33 per cent of their populations respectively.
Australia has promised Jakarta 3.5 million doses of AstraZeneca but just 8 per cent of the 60 million vaccines pledged by the Australian government to countries in the Pacific have been delivered.
Instead of committing to produce vaccines for the region, Australia plans to suspend local production of AstraZeneca once the contracted 50 million doses have been delivered.
And as supply issues create chaos for Covax, wealthy countries have been pilfering the stockpile. At the height of its Delta outbreak, Australia bought 500,000 Pfizer doses from Covax.
Now rich countries are looking to deliver booster shots. While most scientists agree that booster shots within six months will benefit the elderly and immunocompromised and can reduce transmission, it is not clear that healthy young people need them to avoid serious illness.
The US has approved booster shots for the elderly, immunocompromised, people with underlying conditions, and against the advice of its own advisory group, for people working in "high-risk" jobs.
Israel has approved boosters for everyone aged 12 and over after five months but just 29.8 per cent of Palestinians are fully vaccinated. And Australia will give additional Pfizer doses after six months while most of the Pacific remains under 10 per cent fully vaccinated.
The WHO has called for a global moratorium on booster shots until the end of the year. "We're planning to hand out extra life jackets to people who already have life jackets while we're leaving other people to drown without a single life jacket," said WHO health emergency director Mike Ryan.
Wealthy countries have an interest in vaccinating the world as low vaccination rates in poor countries could lead the emergence of new, more virulent and vaccine-resistant strains of the virus. But the drive to profit is a barrier.
Billions in public funds have supported the development, purchase and distribution of vaccines. But instead of sharing their technology in order to expand production as quickly as possible, pharmaceutical companies have patented the process in order to profit massively from the pandemic.
Vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna are expected to record $92.2 billion in combined sales in 2022, almost double the projected profits for 2021. These two mRNA producers alone will control three-quarters of the non-Chinese vaccine market in 2022.
Other vaccine producers AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Sputnik V and Novavax are also forecast to double in value to a combined $124 billion in 2022.
Vaccine-hoarding rich governments and profit-hungry big pharma are gambling on public health. Should a new vaccine resistant variant emerge, it would take Pfizer and Moderna nearly three years at the current rate of production to produce enough new doses.
Vaccine manufacturers must be forced to give up their patents to rapidly increase vaccine production.
