Mary I's Fight For The Throne

16th May 1553 - Mary writes to her brother Edward VI

My duty must humble remembered to your majesty, it may please the same to be advertised that, as the hearing of your highness’s late rheum cough was to me as much grief as ever was any worldly thing, even so the hope which I have conceived since I received your majesty’s last token by my servant has been not a little to my comfort, praying Almighty god our lord according to my most bounden duty to give your majesty perfect health and strength with long continuance in prosperity to reign, beseeching your highness to pardon this my bold and rude writing, and if in the same I do trouble your majesty at this present, as I hope I do not, that than my humble duty and nature which enforced me thereunto, may excuse my default. Thus most humble taking my leave of your majesty I do and shall daily pray for the prosperous preservation of your most royal estate, as of all others I am most bounden. From Beaulieu the 16th of May, scribbled with a rude hand. Your majesty’s most humble sister, Mary 1

Mary writes the above letter to her brother after hearing he has recovered from his long illness. On the 12th May, Imperial ambassador Jehan Scheyfve wrote "A rumour was spread recently that the King was on the way to recovery and his illness was decreasing, to appease the people who were disturbed" 2; this could have been referring to a panicked Mary, who in her letter here describes how she was in "as much grief as ever was any worldly thing." 3

Though Edward was ill, there is evidence that he did in fact rally for a brief while. In a letter to William Cecil dated the 7th May, the Duke of Northumberland wrote "our physicians hath, this last two or three mornings, revived my spirits withal, which is that our sovereign lord doth begin, very joyfully, to increase and amend, they having no doubt of the thorough recovery of His Highness." 4 The physicians were newly appointed, with one of them being the Duke's own. 5

Northumberland remains friendly with Mary, continuing to send her news of Edward, and offering "his good offices [...] on several occasions." 6 This is proven true by the Privy Council's response to her stolen hawks, ordering interrogators the Earl of Sussex and Sir Richard Southwell, that to "the end that the said hawks be restored to the Lady Mary's grace, if they [criminals] refuse to [confess] by gentleness, then we desire your lordship to force them to do the same by straight handling and punishment." 7

Northumberland may have been trying to convince Mary to return to court, to sort the problem in person and visit her brother again, as the Imperial ambassador believed that "those in power are making attempts to induce the Lady Mary to come to Court to visit the King." 8

Meanwhile...

After arriving at Greenwich, King Edward "has only shown himself once, in the gardens, the day after his arrival." 9

On 10th May the new French ambassador, Antoine de Noailles, visits the King, though "The ceremony was so lightly gone through [...] that they did no more than go in and come out." 10

Perkin Warbeck besieging Exeter (september 17th, 1497).

Perkin Warbeck attempted to besiege Exeter with Cornish rebels numbering 3,000 to 6,000 men in what is probably the last military operation of the War of the Roses. Against him stand the mayor and municipal authorities with his (alleged) brother-in-law Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon.

As Perkin Warbeck claimed to be Richard of Shrewsbury, second son of Henry VII, he might have wanted the city as a stronghold, a source of plunder, or a harbor making it easier to escape.

Unfortunately for him, the city and the Earl refused to either surrender or join him. Violent and repeated assaults on the East and northern gate. Without artillery, Perkin's supporters attempted to burn the gate and succeeded. The defenders chose to nourish the fire to block the entry!

Facing the imminent arrival of a royal force, Perkin Warbeck chose to stop attempts to take the city and to move north. At Taunton, he deserted his army at the prospect of facing lord Daubeney's royal army (which was bigger and more equipped). In a letter to the king, Devon wrote that the siege claimed the life or 300 to 400 rebels.

Perkin Warbeck would be captured at Beaulieu Abbey and executed two years later.

Blanche as Regent, and the narrative of Louis's minority

There was no real threat or challenge to the status of young Louis as king. He had been designated by his father in his will, and the Capetian line had descended from father to son since 987. But when power was personal, minority government was always contested government. Magnates like Theobald of Champagne and Peter Mauclerc, who had been chafing under the heavy fists of Philip Augustus and Louis VIII, would certainly take advantage of the minority to push claims to additional land and power as far as they could, and protect themselves against what they saw as royal encroachment on their lordships. Others who were fundamentally loyal to the Capetians would still see a minority as an opportunity to bolster their positions. Peter Mauclerc was already exploiting Henry III's desires to regain the Angevin lands as a lever of personal power: he would not let slip the opportunity offered by a minority. All this could be expected.

Blanche's status as guardian and custodian of king and kingdom was another matter. There were no established norms for regency, whether in the case of a minority or when the king was out of the country in Crusade. The only previous Capetian to have succeeded as a minor was Philip I in 1060. The realm was ruled during his minority by his uncle by marriage, Count Baldwin of Flanders, probably with some assistance from Philip's mother, Anna of Kiev. Arrangements for Crusading regencies had varied. Philip Augustus had left the country in the guardianship of his mother, Adela of Champagne, her brother, the archbishop of Reims, and six prominent Paris merchants, who supervised the financial accounts. During the Second Crusade, the regents, "elected" under the influence of Bernard of Clairvaux, were an unlikely, and not very successful, triumvirate: Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis, the archbishop of Reims and Louis VII's cousin Ralph of Vermandois. No powers were vested in Louis VII's mother, Queen Adela of Maurienne. The great principalities had a stronger tradition of leaving power in the hands of an absent prince's wife or a minor prince's mother. Recent notable examples were the successive countesses of Champagne, Mary of France and Blanche of Navarre. But leaving the kingdom in the hands of the queen alone was novel. (At least in France, though there was the recent example of Margaret of Navarre in Sicily). At the very least, one might have expected her to hold power jointly with a prominent churchman. The archbishop of Reims was the traditional choice- but William of Joinville had died shortly before Louis, on the return from the Albigensian Crusade.

[..]

There certainly were challenges to the regency from the French baronage. Political songs of the day accused Blanche of sending money to Spain, and accused both Blanche and Walter Cornut of preferring the men of Spain to the barons of France. They accused Blanche of keeping young Louis unmarried so that she could remain in power, and accused her of being the mistress of, variously, Theobald of Champagne and Cardinal Romanus Frangipani. Like most regents, Blanche would have to make concessions and obtain by diplomacy what a king would have obtained by command.

The narrative of Louis's minority produced by all his biographers, Geoffrey of Beaulieu, William of Nangis and Joinville, is a dramatic one, of terrible threat to Blanche's rule, and even to the king himself. All of them were writing long after the events, but all of them knew many of the protagonists, and reported first-hand accounts from Louis himself. The same dramacic story is told by the contemporary chroniclers, the Flemish Philip Mousquès, the English Roger of Wendover and Matthew Paris, and the slightly later Ménestrel of Reims. But there are problems with all these sources. Their chronology of events is unclear and sometimes contradictory. Wendover may have had some information from those who campaigned with Richard Marshall alongside the most fractious of the French barons, Peter Mauclerc; at all events, Wendover's account, while a splendid source of French "baronial" gossip, is not always reliable as to facts. Matthew Paris, reworking Wendover's text, could not resist the baronial gossip, though he often dismissed it as lurid rumour. Of the contemporary French chroniclers, Philip Mousquès was well informed on French court gossip from a Flemish perspective, but his chronology is confused. The Ménestrel of Reims' court gossip was more second-hand, and his main aim was to entertain: his chronology is even more confused. St Louis's biographers tend to collapse together events that happened over a long time span, while Joinville, as seneschal of Champagne, was particularly concerned with events in and affecting that county. For all these sources, the narrative of the valiant widowed queen protecting her young son against the powerful wicked barons of France was irresistible. Indeed, it is clear from Louis's reminiscences, as reported by his biographers, that it had become the family's own narrative.

But it is a dramatization and an oversimplification. Many French magnates remained loyal. Those who proved particularly fractious had already been so under Louis VIII. The most consistent plotter of all, Peter Mauclerc, count of Brittany, continued his conspiracies long after St Louis had reached his majority; and Theobald of Champagne's major revolt occurred under Louis's personal kingship. Private war remained endemic in France, though Louis tried to outlaw it, to the disgust of his barons, in 1258. Blanche faced a continual need to control marriage alliances that might lead to dangerous power blocs — but that had been true in the previous two reigns, and continued to be an issue after Louis attained his majority. Much of the worst trouble was not aimed at toppling Blanche’s status as guardian of the realm; it was a series of attacks against Theobald of Champagne. The succession to Champagne had long been an issue, as had the border zone berween Champagne and Burgundy. Blanche and Louis intervened, for the king (or his regent) should ensure peace within his realm, and they did so with reasonable success. The exact chronology of the troubles is difficult to establish, but it seems that, after a difficult few months, stability had been restored by March 1227. In summer 1229 came the major attack on Champagne by members of the Burgundian aristocracy together with various related allies — though the fact that their relations included Peter of Brittany gave it a dangerous edge, for Peter was also plotting an invasion from England with Henry III. By summer 1230 it was clear that had failed, and although Peter of Brittany made war in western Normandy and the western Loire in most subsequent campaigning seasons until 1236, he was increasingly isolated. After 1230 he was an irritant rather than a threat to the Capetian kingship.

Joinville makes much of Blanche being a foreigner, from Spain, "who had neither relatives nor friends in all the kingdom of France". This was untrue. She had both friends and relatives on whom she could depend. The friendship and patronage networks that she had developed since her arrival in France, as the Lady Blanche and as queen consort, now supported her. The administrators, both lay and eccsiastical, who had worked so closely with her husband, and who were in many cases inherited from Philip Augustus, notably Bishop Guérin of Senlis (until his death in April 1227), Walter Cornut, archbishop of Sens, and his relations, the Clément family, Bartholomew of Roye, the chamberlain, and Matthew of Montmorency, the constable, proved intensely loyal. It was in their interests to support the Capetian crown, from which they derived their power and prestige. They might have been slightly cool in support of a queen regent, but they were not. Like her husband, Blanche could rely on the support of the aristocracy of the north-east, where her dower lands lay, such as Michael of Harnes, Arnold of Audenarde and John of Nesle, and on some of the most important reformist churchmen, notably the Cistercian bishop Walter of Chartres. She made the loyal, and partly Spanish, Theobald of Blaison seneschal of the politically sensitive Poitou. The important Angevin families of Craon and Des Roches supported the Capetians, as did the rich city of La Rochelle. Many of the great barons, too, were faithful, notably Stephen of Sancerre, John of Nesle, Amaury of Montfort and the counts of Blois and Chartres. The last two held their counties through their wives, the sister countesses Margaret of Blois and Isabella of Chartres, who were members of the Capetian family and cousins of Blanche herself.
