Margaret of Anjou’s visit to Coventry [in 1456], which was part of her dower and that of her son, Edward of Lancaster, was much more elaborate. It essentially reasserted Lancastrian power. The presence of Henry and the infant Edward was recognised in the pageantry. The ceremonial route between the Bablake gate and the commercial centre was short, skirting the area controlled by the cathedral priory, but it made up for its brevity with no fewer than fourteen pageants. Since Coventry had an established cycle of mystery plays, there were presumably enough local resources and experience to mount an impressive display; but one John Wetherby was summoned from Leicester to compose verses and stage the scenes. As at Margaret’s coronation the iconography was elaborate, though it built upon earlier developments.

Starting at Bablake gate, next to the Trinity Guild church of St. Michael, Bablake, the party was welcomed with a Tree of Jesse, set up on the gate itself, with the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah explaining the symbolism. Outside St. Michael’s church the party was greeted by Edward the Confessor and St. John the Evangelist; and proceeding to Smithford Street, they found on the conduit the four Cardinal Virtues—Righteousness (Justice?), Prudence, Temperance, and Fortitude. In Cross Cheaping wine flowed freely, as in London, and angels stood on the cross, censing Margaret as she passed. Beyond the cross was pitched a series of pageants, each displaying one of the Nine Worthies, who offered to serve Margaret. Finally, the queen was shown a pageant of her patron saint, Margaret, slaying the dragon [which 'turned out to be strictly an intercessor on the queen's behalf', as Helen Maurer points out].

The meanings here are complex and have been variously interpreted. An initial reading of the programme found a message of messianic kingship: the Jesse tree equating royal genealogy with that of Christ had been used at the welcome for Henry VI on his return from Paris in 1432. A more recent, feminist view is that the symbolism is essentially Marian, and to be associated with Margaret both as queen and mother of the heir rather than Henry himself. The theme is shared sovereignty, with Margaret equal to her husband and son. Ideal kingship was symbolised by the presence of Edward the Confessor, but Margaret was the person to whom the speeches were specifically addressed and she, not Henry, was seen as the saviour of the house of Lancaster. This reading tips the balance too far the other way: the tableau of Edward the Confessor and St. John was a direct reference to the legend of the Ring and the Pilgrim, one of Henry III’s favourite stories, which was illustrated in Westminster Abbey, several of his houses, and in manuscript. It symbolised royal largesse, and its message at Coventry would certainly have encompassed the reigning king. Again, the presence of allegorical figures, first used for Henry, seems to acknowledge his presence. Yet, while the message of the Coventry pageants was directed at contemporary events it emphasised Margaret’s motherhood and duties as queen; and it was expressed as a traditional spiritual journey from the Old Testament, via the incarnation represented by the cross, to the final triumph over evil, with the help of the Virgin, allegory, and the Worthies. The only true thematic innovation was the commentary by the prophets.

[...] The messages of the pageants firmly reminded the royal women of their place as mothers and mediators, honoured but subordinate. Yet, if passive, these young women were not without significance. It is clear from the pageantry of 1392 and 1426 in London and 1456 in Coventry that when a crisis needed to be resolved, the queen (or regent’s wife) was accorded extra recognition. Her duty as mediator—or the good aspect of a misdirected man—suddenly became more than a pious wish. At Coventry, Margaret of Anjou was even presented as the rock upon which the monarchy rested. [However,] a crisis had to be sensed in order to provoke such emphasis [...]."

"FURTHER DETAILS IN MURDER CASE," Hamilton Spectator. March 19, 1913. Page 11. --- Boarders Tell What Occurred on Night of Crime ---- One of Them Heard the Prisoner's Wife Screaming ---- Boyka Showed Signs of Strain in Court To-day ---- Additional evidence in the Linklewitz murder case was taken this morning, when four former boarders in the house were called to testify. They were Michael Bablak, H. Ogorzalek, Stefan Korzun and Koustanty Szulski. The testimony of Sergeant Bettles, Constable Duncan and Detective Sayer was also taken. The prisoner, Wasil Boyka. throughout the whole proceedings stood against the rail in the front of the pen with his arms folded. His hands and fingers were continually twitching, and he shifted from one foot to the other, casting his eyes about the room as though looking for some one who did not appear. The strain appeared to be telling on him, although the evidence of the various witnesses did not appear to Interest him. He was committed for trial.

Michael Babiak, who now resides at 324 Catharine street north, but was a boarder in the Boyka home on February 19, the right of the murder. was shown a blue print of the house and when asked where Mrs. Boyka's room was situated immediately pointed it out. He said the two men. Boyka and Linkiewitz, were not drunk when he saw them before he went to bed, but after sleeping for a couple of hours he was awakened by a noise, which sounded to him as though some one was singing. He heard one of the other boarders come out of his room a little later, and ask the deceased to go to bed, and he would extinguish the light. The singing he said was joined by another volce, and seemed to be of a friendly nature. After he had dozed off to sleep again, he was awakened the second time by a noise. which sounded very much like something being dragged across the floor to- ward the kitchen. Before going to sleep again he heard some one say, "My feet are frozen." He did not know who it was. At 6.30 the next morning. he and a room-mate emerged from their bedroom and the first thing they noticed was a trail of blood which led from Mrs. Boy- ka's room toward the kitchen in the rear. They followed the blood stains to the woodshed, and discovered the body of Linklewitz lying half in and half out of the shed door. When shown the blood-stained axe by Crown Attorney Washington, witness recognized it as one which he had seen in the woodshed. The prisoner when asked if he had any questions to put to the witness said no.

Dr. Langrill, house surgeon at the city hospital. said the assisted Dr. Rennie in the post mortem examination, and judged that death was due from two large wounds at the back of the neck, delivered, he thought, by some heavy instrument. The evidence of the other three boarders corroborated that of the first witness, except in one case, where Ogorzalek said he heard a woman scream, which he knew to be Mrs. Boyka, but he didn't hear the husband say anything.

Sergt. Bettles said he warned the prisoner that anything he said would be used against him at the trial, and he seemed to understand by the motion of his head. The accused said that Linklewits had been in this wife's room twice, the first time he did not bother about it, but when he repeated it, here he made a motion as though swinging an axe, and swore Detective Sayers told of arresting Boyka, who he said was in a drunken stupor. The axe was later found in a back room.

Anthony Yarock, the interpreter, sald Boyka admitted to him that he killed Linkiewitz, but said he had good reasons for doing so, meaning that the deceased had played with his wife's affection. On the evidence submitted he was sent up for trial.

The Ferryman Inn

The Ferryman Inn at Bablockhythe, near Eynsham, on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, is by road a good eight or nine miles from the villages on the opposite bank, with their closer access to the city of Oxford. So it is not surprising that there was a ferry, from which the inn takes its name, running here for centuries. The ferry has not been in operation now for the past three years since the ferryboat was put out of action as a result of flood waters, but the inn has suffered no loss of trade. It has continued to be much used everyday; at the weekends it is a welcome port of call for boaters and walkers, and on weekdays as well as for residents of local villages it is a popular base for businessmen visiting the area.

For the walkers there is the Thames Path from which to make their approach. For the boaters, the pub has 24-hour mooring which can accommodate 20 to 30 boats.  There is a will to reopen the ferry and a meeting recently took place at which representatives of local organisations, including those involved in conservation, attended. Their first challenge, however, is to tackle the issue of sourcing the necessary funding.

The Chequers

The Ferryman, incidentally, is not the pub's original name. The earliest records date from the year 950, when the name shown is The Chequers, and even as relatively recently as the 1930s that was the name in use.  Landlord Peter Kelland has been at The Ferryman - officially the name at least from the second half of the 20th century - for 24 years and he explains the reason why so many pubs around the country have The Chequers on their hanging signs. This is not, he says, a reference to a chequerboard, but to an early form of accounting in which Chequers were used in a similar way to an abacus and were a sign indicating business premises - in this case the ferry, and also the loading wharf at Bablockhythe. Derived in a similar way is the title of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

This is a place full of interesting history, and Peter Kelland is a mine of information on the subject. He has found that Bablockhythe came about as denoting 'the landing place at Babba's Brook: In the 17th century there is a reference to it as Bablake.  It is still a Tanding place; for The Ferryman has its 24-hour moorings alongside.  Boaters arriving can call in for tea, coffee, lunch, a cream tea or afternoon tea. Lunches are served from noon and lighter meals are available all day; dinner service is 6.30pm to 9pm.  Accommodation is available in the guest rooms that were part of an earlier 1930s extension that is detailed in the history of The Ferryman; that work also added the present dining room.  There is a small grassy area available for use as an overnight campsite, but with a strict prohibition on the use of any vehicles. No cars or motorhomes are allowed there. Visitors may pitch small tents of a size which can be carried to the site from a car or boat. This is for the 'real' campers ~ as opposed to the ‘glampers'

Bablockhythe is a very small community, but there is one greater adjacent population, residents or visitors to the nearby holiday caravan park  They greatly appreciate having the opportunity of lunch or dinner ‘out: almost right on their own doorstep.  Be they from near or far, The Ferryman always has a ready welcome for its visiting customers.
