83-508: Warblington is a suburb of Havant , in the county of Hampshire , England. Warblington used to be a civil parish , and before that was part of the Hundred of Bosmere. In Saxon times there was a farm ( OE: tun ) possibly owned by a woman called OE: Wæ̃rblið who gave her name to the village. There are some alternatives eg: 'the farm (OE: tun ) of Wæ̃rblealds '. The current Warblington Castle Farm occupies
166-685: A blessed sword and hat symbolising his prayers that James would be strengthened against heresies from across the border. These gifts were delivered by the Pope's messenger while James was at Compiègne in France on 25 February 1537. According to 16th-century writers, his treasurer James Kirkcaldy of Grange tried to persuade James against the persecution of Protestants and to meet Henry VIII at York. James and Henry corresponded about meeting in 1536. Pope Paul III advised James against travelling to England, and sent an envoy or nuncio to Scotland to discuss
249-551: A common man, describing himself as the "Gudeman of Ballengeich". ("Gudeman" means "landlord" or "farmer", and "Ballengeich" was the nickname of a road next to Stirling Castle — meaning "windy pass" in Gaelic ). One traditional ballad, The Jolly Beggar , is considered by some to refer to his activities. James was also a keen lute player. In 1562, Sir Thomas Wood reported that James had "a singular good ear and could sing that he had never seen before" ( sight-read ), but his voice
332-762: A daughter of Francis I of France as a bride. Yet by the 1520s Francis's two surviving daughters were too frail or too young. In 1528 the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and the English diplomat Thomas Magnus both raised the possibility of a marriage between the king and his cousin, Princess Mary , while that same year, Margaret of Austria , Charles V's aunt, suggested that James should marry Charles's sister, Mary of Austria . Charles V also proposed James marry his niece, Maria of Portugal . Perhaps to remind Francis I of his obligations, in 1529 James V began negotiations for his marriage elsewhere, sending
415-535: A funeral cortege, and accompanied by Cardinal Beaton, the Earls of Arran, Argyll, Rothes, Marischal and other nobles. James V was buried on 8 January at Holyrood Abbey , next to his first wife, Madeleine , and his two sons. A stone tomb was erected, on which Andrew Mansioun carved a lion, a crown and an eighteen-foot-long inscription in Roman letters . Alms were distributed to the poor of Edinburgh who had been present at
498-668: A large army. Summoned for treason , Angus holed himself up in Tantallon Castle until an agreement was reached whereby he was allowed to go into exile in England after surrendering his castles. Pierre de Ronsard saw James in 1537 when the king was twenty-four and summed up his paradoxical appearance: " La douceur et la force illustroient son visage Si que Venus et Mars en avoient fait partage " – His royal bearing, and vigorous pursuit of virtue, of honour, and love's war, this sweetness and strength illuminate his face, as if he were
581-497: A navigational landmark. The Imperial Gazetteer of 1870-1872 described Warblington as having a population of 2,196 as of 1861 and mentioned that the "church is Saxon". The parish church of St Thomas à Becket is part of a joint parish with the church of St James, Emsworth . The oldest part of the church is the small central tower, which is Saxon and was built in the 11th century. In 1967 Pevsner and Lloyd described St Thomas à Becket church as essentially late 12th century and notes
664-407: A page of Madeleine of Valois, offered unqualified praise: "Son port estoit royal, son regard vigoureux De vertus, et de l'honneur, et guerre amoureux La douceur et la force illustroient son visage Si que Venus et Mars en avoient fait partage" His royal bearing, and vigorous pursuit of virtue, of honour, and love's war, this sweetness and strength illuminate his face, as if he were
747-430: A prisoner to France. In November 1522, Albany took an army to besiege Wark Castle defended by Sir William Lisle , but gave up after three days when the weather deteriorated. In 1524, Albany was finally removed from power in a coup d'état while he was in France. Margaret, with the help of James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Arran and his followers, brought James V from Stirling to Edinburgh. In August, Parliament declared
830-586: A second French bride to further the interests of the Franco-Scottish alliance. David Beaton was sent to France to persuade Francis I to agree to James marrying his only surviving daughter, Margaret . Francis offered Mary of Guise as a bride instead. The daughter of Claude, Duke of Guise , Mary had recently been widowed by the death of her husband, Louis II d'Orléans, Duke of Longueville . David Beaton wrote to James V from Lyon in October 1537 that Mary
913-469: A series of mistresses. James's reign witnessed the beginnings of Protestantism in Scotland, and his uncle Henry VIII of England 's break with Rome in the 1530s placed James in a powerful bargaining position with the papacy , allowing James to exploit the situation to increase his control over ecclesiastical appointments and the financial dividends from church revenues. Pope Paul III also granted him

#1732780374073996-583: A strong grounding by a number of tutors, including David Lyndsay and Gavin Dunbar . James had been taught French and Latin, but as an adult, he spoke halting French, and his need for an interpreter to converse with an Italian bishop suggests that his spoken Latin and Italian were poor. Between 1517 and 1520, Albany sojourned in France, and did not exercise the regency in person, but through his lieutenants including Antoine d'Arces , sieur de la Bastie. On 26 August 1517 Albany and Charles, Duke of Alençon agreed
1079-548: A view of the harbour and wooded shores of Hayling Island. The fertile landscape suggests the area to have been under continuous cultivation for 1500-1800 years.

From
1162-640: A vindictive king, whose policies were largely motivated by the pursuit of wealth, and a paranoid fear of his nobility which led to the ruthless appropriation of their lands. He has also been characterised as the "poor man's king", due to his accessibility to the poor and his acting against their oppressors. James died in December 1542 following the Scottish defeat by the English at the Battle of Solway Moss . His only surviving legitimate child, Mary , succeeded him at
1245-647: A week later, the Scots travelled to the Duke of Vendôme's court at Saint-Quentin . However, on meeting Mary of Bourbon, James V was not impressed by her. He then travelled south to the French court at the Château d'Amboise , where he met Madeleine, and again pressed Francis for her hand in marriage. Fearing the harsh climate of Scotland would prove fatal to his daughter's already failing health, Francis initially refused to permit
1328-699: The Salamander , first making a will in Leith , knowing this to be "uncertane aventuris." The purpose of this voyage was to show the royal presence and hold regional courts, called "justice ayres." Domestic and international policy was affected by the Reformation , especially after Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church . James V did not tolerate heresy and during his reign a number of outspoken Protestants were persecuted. The most famous of these
1411-509: The Auld Alliance with France. The first year of his regency was a period when a vigorous defence of his authority was essential to prevent the crumbling of Scottish government either into anarchy or into English control. The struggle for control of the person of the king was an essential prelude to Albany's attempt to govern, as he was aware from the beginning that his claims to act for the king and with full royal authority depended on
1494-501: The Duke of Albany to Rome to negotiate a marriage to Catherine de' Medici , the niece of Pope Clement VII . By 1533 there was discussion of James marrying one of his second cousins, Christina or Dorothea , the daughters of Christian II of Denmark , while in 1534 Margaret of Valois-Angoulême , sister of Francis I, suggested her sister-in-law Isabella . In December 1534, Francis I insisted that his eldest daughter Madeleine 's health
1577-616: The Earl of Lennox , an enemy of Margaret and Arran. When Angus arrived in Edinburgh with a large group of armed men, claiming his right to attend Parliament, Margaret ordered cannons to be fired on them from Edinburgh Castle. Parliament subsequently made Angus a Lord of the Articles and a member of the council of regency . A plan was agreed to end the feuding among these opposing groups by allowing each of them in turn to act as host to
1660-552: The Treaty of Rouen , which renewed the Auld Alliance between Scotland and France and promised a French royal bride for James V. At England's request, Albany was detained in France for four years, and with him absent, Queen Margaret returned to Scotland and sought in vain to regain the regency. Young James V was kept a virtual prisoner by Albany and his lieutenants, and Margaret was allowed to see her son only once between 1516 and
1743-539: The Western Isles . As well as taking advice from his nobility and using the services of the Duke of Albany in France and at Rome, James had a team of professional lawyers and diplomats, including Adam Otterburn and Thomas Erskine of Haltoun . Even his pursemaster and yeoman of the wardrobe, John Tennent of Listonschiels, was sent on an errand to England, though he got a frosty reception. James increased his income by tightening control over royal estates and from
SECTION 20
#17327803740731826-409: The crown jewels for the occasion. When James took steps to suppress the circulation of slanderous ballads and rhymes against Henry VIII, Henry sent Fulke ap Powell, Lancaster Herald , to give thanks and to make arrangements for the present of a lion for James's menagerie of exotic pets. The death of James's mother in 1541 removed any incentive for peace with England, and war broke out. Initially,
1909-411: The music fyne described by Helena Mennie Shire. This quieter music included a consort of viols played by four Frenchmen led by Jacques Columbell. It seems certain that David Peebles wrote music for James V and probable that the Scottish composer Robert Carver was in royal employ, though evidence is lacking. As a patron of poets and authors, James supported William Stewart and John Bellenden ,
1992-622: The "undisturbed" setting. A cemetery, the ruins of Grade II listed Warblington Castle, on private property, the Grade I Listed St Thomas à Becket Church, Warblington a Grade II listed Old Farmhouse, and the Grade II listed Old Rectory are all within the boundaries of the Warblington Conservation Area.

2075-658: The Duke of Albany's success in bringing order and good government to Scotland, by Sebastian Giustinian, the Venetian Ambassador at Henry VIII's Court, was that Scotland, "...was as much under Albany's control as if he were King...". In February 1517, James was brought from Stirling to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh , but during an outbreak of plague in the city, he was moved to the care of Antoine d'Arces at nearby rural Craigmillar Castle . At Stirling,
2158-481: The Earl of Angus. Albany came to Edinburgh Castle, where James V was kept, and in a public ceremony, the keeper gave him the keys, which he passed to Margaret, who gave them back to Albany, symbolising that the government of Scotland was in his hands. Thus, Albany was able to keep an upper hand in regard to the ambitious Angus. The regent put Angus under charges of high treason in December 1521 and later sent him practically
2241-591: The French-born John, Duke of Albany , who was James V's second cousin and the nearest male heir to the throne after the king and his younger brother, Alexander, Duke of Ross , who was born in April 1514.

2490-635: The Scots won a victory at the Battle of Haddon Rig in August 1542. The Imperial ambassador in London, Eustace Chapuys , wrote on 2 October that the Scottish ambassadors ruled out a conciliatory meeting between James and Henry VIII in England until the pregnant Mary of Guise delivered her child. Henry would not accept this condition and mobilised his army against Scotland. James was with his army at Lauder on 31 October 1542. Although he hoped to invade England, his nobles were reluctant. He returned to Edinburgh, on

James's personal rule began in 1528 when he finally escaped the custody of his stepfather, Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus . His first action
2905-769: The approximate site of the original farm. In prehistoric and early historical times the River Ems was tidal as far as Westbourne and the Westbrook creek reached to Victoria Road, leaving Emsworth almost isolated at high tide. A coastal route developed that led from Hayling Island through Havant and Rowlands Castle to the South Downs . A part of the coastal route followed the Portsdown ridgeway and from Chichester to Belmont Hill in Bedhampton probably skirted
2988-583: The birth of his daughter, the king said "It cam wi' a lass, and it will gang wi' a lass" (meaning "It began with a girl and it will end with a girl"). This could refer to the Stewart dynasty 's accession to the throne through Marjorie Bruce , daughter of Robert the Bruce . The prophecy could have been intended to express his belief that his new-born daughter Mary would be the last of the Stewart monarchs. In fact,
3071-477: The carved arms of the four chivalric orders of which James was a member: Garter , Thistle , Golden Fleece and Saint Michael . The three-tiered octagonal King's Fountain topped by an imperial crown was built in 1538 as the centrepiece of the courtyard. At Falkland Palace, James V extended his father's buildings in French Renaissance style between 1537 and 1541 and built a real tennis court in
3154-457: The child of Venus and Mars. The first action James took as king was to remove Angus from the scene. The Douglas family — excluding James's half-sister Margaret , who was already safely in England, innocent of any crime against him (and thus safe from any revenge James took) — were forced into exile and James besieged their castle at Tantallon . He then subdued the Border rebels and the chiefs of

When he married Mary of Guise, Giovanni Ferrerio , an Italian scholar who had been at Kinloss Abbey in Scotland, dedicated to the couple a new edition of his work On the True Significance of Comets against the Vanity of Astrologers. Like Henry VIII, James employed many foreign artisans and craftsmen in order to enhance the prestige of his renaissance court. Robert Lindsay of Pitscottie listed their professions: he plenished
3320-443: The continued goodwill of the king himself, or rather of whoever had control of his person and could therefore claim to speak with his voice. Margaret and Angus were potentially hostile to Albany's intentions, and James V had to be removed from their influence. Albany besieged Stirling Castle and Margaret was forced to relinquish possession of the king and the Duke of Ross. James would not see his mother again for two years. Having lost

3486-477: The detention more tolerable, and when James showed signs of tiring of these gifts, Angus also introduced the adolescent king to the pleasures of the flesh with a succession of prostitutes . Angus overreached himself, assuming the office of Lord Chancellor , and granting his followers almost every lucrative post available in the royal household. While James V clearly enjoyed some aspects of his captivity, he grew to hate his captor. Several attempts were made to free
3569-542: The earls of Arran , Argyll and Rothes , Lord Fleming , David Beaton and a force of 500 men in a fleet of six ships, using the Mary Willoughby as his flagship. Before his departure, James appointed six vice-regents to govern Scotland in his absence.

Arriving at Dieppe
3652-589: The end of Albany's regency in 1524. Following the signing of the Treaty of Bruges between Henry VIII of England and the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V , Francis I allowed the Duke of Albany to return to Scotland to strengthen the Franco-Scottish alliance. The Treaty of Rouen was ratified, and Madeleine of Valois was suggested as a suitable bride for James V. When the Duke of Albany returned in November 1521 Margaret sided with him against her husband,

Madeleine wrote to her father from Edinburgh on 8 June 1537 saying that she
3818-526: The garden in 1541. The court survives to this day and is the oldest in the United Kingdom . James also built a new Late Gothic entrance tower in the south range, and the courtyard facades of the east and south ranges that were built in 1537 and 1539 are the earliest examples of Renaissance architecture in the British Isles . The largest of James V's building projects was the construction of

In Roman times a villa existed to the south of the road to Noviomagus Reginorum in the fields of what is now Warblington Castle Farm. Archaeological finds show that the building was a sizeable brick and stone edifice, with floors paved with red brick and coloured sandstone and
3984-532: The initiative. Although Henry VIII sent his tapestries to York in September 1541 ahead of a meeting, James did not come. The lack of commitment to this meeting was regarded by English observers as a sign that Scotland was firmly allied to France and Catholicism, particularly by the influence of Cardinal Beaton , Keeper of the Privy Seal, and as a cause for war. In 1540, Irish nobles and chiefs offered James
4067-413: The kingship of Ireland, as a further challenge to Henry VIII. James V spent a large amount of money (at least £ 41,000) during his adult reign on extensively remodelling all the major residences and several minor ones, including the construction of new structures, with the most significant work focused on Falkland Palace and Stirling Castle . Early in his personal rule James began the construction of

Margaret was arrested in the manor at the end of 1538 for her part in the so-called Exeter Conspiracy . Two and half years later she was executed and the Manor of Warblington was granted to Sir Richard Cotton by Edward VI . In October 1551, Mary of Guise
4399-490: The marriage, but the couple persuaded Francis to reluctantly grant permission to their marriage.

4482-530: The negotiations resumed again, and in March 1536 a final contract made for Mary of Bourbon to marry James V. She would have a dowry as if she were a French princess, and Francis I consolidated the agreement by sending James the collar of the Order of Saint Michael as a token of his affection. James decided to travel to France to meet his prospective bride in person. He sailed from Kirkcaldy on 1 September 1536, with
4565-419: The present Late Gothic James V Tower at the north-west corner of the Palace of Holyroodhouse , which provided new royal lodgings on the first and second floors, and a high degree of security.

James sailed to France for his first marriage and strengthened the royal fleet . In 1540, he sailed to Kirkwall in Orkney , then Lewis , in his ship
4731-461: The regency at an end, and the 12-year-old King James was prematurely "erected" to full kingly powers. In November, Parliament formally recognised Margaret as the chief councillor to the king. Margaret's alliance with the Hamiltons inevitably alienated other noble houses. Henry VIII allowed the Earl of Angus (who Albany had banished) to return to Scotland in 1524, and he entered into an alliance with
4814-608: The regency because she had remarried. The Privy Council removed Margaret from the office of regent and appointed the Duke of Albany to replace her. Albany arrived at Dumbarton Castle with eight ships and a troop of French soldiers in May 1514. He entered Edinburgh on 26 May, and in July Parliament confirmed his restoration as Duke of Albany and his position as regent. Albany's noble supporters intended his arrival to bring stable and good government, while Francis I of France sought to use Albany to maintain support for

Some 2,000 Scottish lords and barons came from Scotland aboard a fleet of ships under Lord Maxwell to attend, with Lord Maxwell standing as proxy for James V. Mary departed from Le Havre on 10 June 1538, and landed in Scotland 6 days later at Crail in Fife . She

When he went to the park below the Castle, "by secret and in right fair and soft wedder (weather)", six horsemen would scour the countryside two miles roundabout for intruders. Poets wrote their own nursery rhymes for James and advised him on royal behavior. Although his academic development was effectively cut short under Angus's captivity from 1525 onward, James V had been given
5395-468: The title of Defender of the Faith in 1537. James maintained diplomatic correspondence with various Irish nobles and chiefs throughout their resistance to Henry VIII in the 1530s, and in 1540 they offered him the kingship of Ireland .

However, the plan fell apart in November 1525 when, at the end of his period of custody, Angus refused to surrender the king who, in effect, became a prisoner of the Red Douglases for the next two-and-a-half years. Angus again "erected" James V to full kingly powers, took him on justice ayres and kept him under close supervision. He spoiled the king with various lavish gifts in an attempt to buy his favour and make
