An outspoken reformer, Lady Margaret Douglas dies, and a man of "plyable" willow
In the first part of this week in Tudor history, historian and author Claire Ridgway introduces an outspoken reformer whose works were burnt, she talks about the death of Henry VIII’s niece, Lady Margaret Douglas, and how it was surrounded by rumour, and gives an overview of the life and career of a Tudor administrator who claimed he survived in politics in such turbulent times because he “was made of the plyable willow, not of the stubborn oak”.

Hurst Castle on the south coast of England is one of Henry VIII's Device Forts, built at the end of a long shingle spit at the west end of the Solent to guard the approaches to Southampton.

初代ウィンチェスター侯爵ウィリアム・ポーレット(英: William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester, KG, PC、1483年か1485年 - 1572年3月10日)は、イングランドの政治家、廷臣、貴族。
ヘンリー8世からエリザベス女王までのテューダー朝の王に仕えた。
激動の中でも失脚することなく多年にわたって地位を維持した。
1531年にセントジョン男爵、1550年にウィルトシャー伯爵、1551年にウィンチェスター侯爵に叙せられた。
ウィンチェスター侯爵ポーレット家の祖にあたる。
1483年か1485年頃、サー・ジョン・ポーレットとその妻アリス・ポーレットの長男として生まれる。
1511年から1512年、1518年から1519年、1522年から1523年にかけてハンプシャーのシェリフを務め、1525年終わり頃にナイトの称号を得る。
1529年からの改革議会ではハンプシャーの州代表騎士として庶民院議員を務める。
1532年から1537年にかけては王室監査官を務める。
1536年には修道院から没収したサウサンプトン近くの土地を与えられた。
1537年10月から1539年3月まで王室会計長官を務めた。
この役職の退任の際にイングランド貴族爵位ベイジングのセントジョン男爵に叙された。
1540年には後見裁判所の長官に任じられた。
1542年に枢密顧問官に列し、1543年にはガーター勲章を受勲した。
1543年から1545年まで宮内長官、1545年から1550年まで王室家政長官、1546年から1549年まで枢密院議長を務める。
1547年のヘンリー8世の崩御に際しては遺言執行人の一人に指名されている。
エドワード6世が即位し、初代サマセット公エドワード・シーモアの支配がはじまると国璽尚書に就任したが、数カ月で辞職した。
1550年には初代ウォリック伯ジョン・ダドリーによるサマセット公打倒に協力し、同年1月19日にイングランド貴族爵位ウィルトシャー伯爵に叙された。
さらに翌1551年10月12日にはウィンチェスター侯爵に叙せられた(同じ日にウォリック伯はノーサンバーランド公に叙された)。
1550年から1572年まで大蔵卿を務める。
ヘンリー8世晩年からの戦争で財政が破たん状態になっていたため、1551年にはノーサンバーランド公の主導で通貨悪鋳を行われたが、急速なインフレーションを招き、国家財政が危機的状態に陥った。
大蔵卿のウィンチェスター侯や国際金融専門家トマス・グレシャムらによって対策が練られ、1552年には通貨の品質を向上させて信用回復を図った。
また財政機構改革にもあたった。
1553年にエドワード6世が崩御した後、はじめノーサンバーランド公が女王に擁立したジェーンを支持したが、後にロンドンを脱出してメアリー女王を支持した。
その結果、メアリー女王、つづくエリザベス女王の時代にも官職を維持した。
1559年と1566年の議会では貴族院議長を務めている。
1572年3月10日にハンプシャー・ベイジング・ハウスで90近い高齢で死去した。

Hurst Castle is situated at the seaward end of the shingle spit that extends 1.5 miles from Milford-On-Sea. The end of the spit, only three-quarters of a mile from the Isle of Wight, and the views from the top of the centre keep are spectacular. Hurst Castle on the south coast of England is one of Henry VIII's Device Forts, built at the end of a long shingle spit at the west end of the Solent to guard the approaches to Southampton. Hurst Castle was sited at the narrow entrance to the Solent where the ebb and flow of the tides create strong currents, putting would-be invaders at its mercy. Also known as a Henrician Castle, Hurst was built as part of Henry's chain of coastal defences to protect England during the turbulent times of his reign. Charles I was imprisoned here in 1648 before being taken to London to his trial and execution. The fort was modified throughout the 19th century, and two large wing batteries were built to house heavy guns. It was fortified again in World War II and then decommissioned. It is now owned by English Heritage and is open to the public.
Hurst Castle is a fort consisting of a circular stone tower strengthened by semicircular bastions of later dates. It was erected by Henry VIII to defend the approach to Southampton Water against the French. The recommendation that a castle be built on Hurst Point was made in 1539 by William FitzWilliam, 1st Earl of Southampton and William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester. By 1540 some kind of fortification existed but details are scarce. The work on the castle proper took several years and was finished by the end of 1544. The first captain of the castle was Thomas Bertie. In 1561 Thomas Carew was captain. The establishment at that time consisted of the captain, his deputy, porter and a master gunner, a deputy's man, eight soldiers, another for the porter and 11 gunners. Thomas Carew was succeeded on his death by Sir Thomas Gorges, who in 1593 petitioned for the repair of the platforms, which were so decayed as to be incapable of supporting the guns. Sir Edward Gorges, afterwards Baron Gorges of Dundalk, succeeded his father as captain in 1610. In 1635 most of the bronze ordnance in the castle was exchanged for iron. In 1642, in the absence of the captain, the castle was occupied by Captain Richard Swanley for the King and Parliament. It was the last prison of Charles I before being moved to Windsor before his trial; he was brought here on the last day of November 1648 from Newport. Lord Gorges was succeeded in the captaincy by Colonel Thomas Eyre, who in 1650 secured a grant of further ordinance and an increase in the number of soldiers stationed there.
In the year following the Restoration Colonel Eyre lost his post, and Edward Strange was appointed captain, the office of governor being allowed to lapse. In January 1661 Charles II ordered the garrison to be disbanded and an estimate made of the expense of demolishing the castle; the latter idea was, however, speedily dropped, and five months later, although the forces were paid off, arrangements were made for additions involving an increase in the annual expenditure. In 1666 it was decided that the castle should be garrisoned by men from Sir Robert Holmes' company on the Isle of Wight. This was not done until 1671 owing to the state of disrepair in which the castle was. Sir Robert, who was governor of the Island, reported that there was scarcely a gun mounted and no stores or provisions in the castle; nothing, however, was done, and three years later he wrote complaining that there was hardly a room not fallen in and into which the rain did not come. Repairs were then taken in hand and the garrison established, Captain Strange becoming governor. In 1675 a master gunner and three other gunners were added to the establishment, there being then nearly 30 guns mounted at the castle. In the same year Sir John Holmes petitioned for leave to purchase the governorship, and this being granted him he was appointed to the post. Captain Roach, who was captain of the castle at this time, having murdered a certain Lieutenant Newman, fled to Yarmouth, and borrowing a black cloak took boat to Hurst, where he was arrested. In 1689 Henry Holmes was appointed to the captaincy. 19th century ~ The fort's tower was rebuilt around 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars. In the 1850's the dock was built as well as the west battery. Recommendations by the 1859 Royal Commission report, led to the castle being re fortified, and two large wing batteries were built to house 30 heavy guns. In 1873 a new east wing was built and a new entrance to the castle was driven through the northeast bastion. Around 1889 the magazine roof was reinforced with more concrete; the staircases and rooms within the tower were rebuilt; and the tower roof was adapted for modern gun mountings. A coastal battery was built in 1893.

Hurst Castle is situated at the seaward end of the shingle spit that extends 1.5 miles from Milford-On-Sea. The end of the spit, only three-quarters of a mile from the Isle of Wight, and the views from the top of the centre keep are spectacular. Hurst Castle on the south coast of England is one of Henry VIII's Device Forts, built at the end of a long shingle spit at the west end of the Solent to guard the approaches to Southampton. Hurst Castle was sited at the narrow entrance to the Solent where the ebb and flow of the tides create strong currents, putting would-be invaders at its mercy. Also known as a Henrician Castle, Hurst was built as part of Henry's chain of coastal defences to protect England during the turbulent times of his reign. Charles I was imprisoned here in 1648 before being taken to London to his trial and execution. The fort was modified throughout the 19th century, and two large wing batteries were built to house heavy guns. It was fortified again in World War II and then decommissioned. It is now owned by English Heritage and is open to the public.
Hurst Castle is a fort consisting of a circular stone tower strengthened by semicircular bastions of later dates.

Hurst Castle is situated at the seaward end of the shingle spit that extends 1.5 miles from Milford-On-Sea. The end of the spit, only three-quarters of a mile from the Isle of Wight, and the views from the top of the centre keep are spectacular. Hurst Castle on the south coast of England is one of Henry VIII's Device Forts, built at the end of a long shingle spit at the west end of the Solent to guard the approaches to Southampton. Hurst Castle was sited at the narrow entrance to the Solent where the ebb and flow of the tides create strong currents, putting would-be invaders at its mercy. Also known as a Henrician Castle, Hurst was built as part of Henry's chain of coastal defences to protect England during the turbulent times of his reign. Charles I was imprisoned here in 1648 before being taken to London to his trial and execution. The fort was modified throughout the 19th century, and two large wing batteries were built to house heavy guns. It was fortified again in World War II and then decommissioned. It is now owned by English Heritage and is open to the public.
Hurst Castle is a fort consisting of a circular stone tower strengthened by semicircular bastions of later dates. It was erected by Henry VIII to defend the approach to Southampton Water against the French. The recommendation that a castle be built on Hurst Point was made in 1539 by William FitzWilliam, 1st Earl of Southampton and William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester. By 1540 some kind of fortification existed but details are scarce. The work on the castle proper took several years and was finished by the end of 1544. The first captain of the castle was Thomas Bertie. In 1561 Thomas Carew was captain. The establishment at that time consisted of the captain, his deputy, porter and a master gunner, a deputy's man, eight soldiers, another for the porter and 11 gunners. Thomas Carew was succeeded on his death by Sir Thomas Gorges, who in 1593 petitioned for the repair of the platforms, which were so decayed as to be incapable of supporting the guns. Sir Edward Gorges, afterwards Baron Gorges of Dundalk, succeeded his father as captain in 1610. In 1635 most of the bronze ordnance in the castle was exchanged for iron. In 1642, in the absence of the captain, the castle was occupied by Captain Richard Swanley for the King and Parliament. It was the last prison of Charles I before being moved to Windsor before his trial; he was brought here on the last day of November 1648 from Newport. Lord Gorges was succeeded in the captaincy by Colonel Thomas Eyre, who in 1650 secured a grant of further ordinance and an increase in the number of soldiers stationed there.
In the year following the Restoration Colonel Eyre lost his post, and Edward Strange was appointed captain, the office of governor being allowed to lapse. In January 1661 Charles II ordered the garrison to be disbanded and an estimate made of the expense of demolishing the castle; the latter idea was, however, speedily dropped, and five months later, although the forces were paid off, arrangements were made for additions involving an increase in the annual expenditure. In 1666 it was decided that the castle should be garrisoned by men from Sir Robert Holmes' company on the Isle of Wight. This was not done until 1671 owing to the state of disrepair in which the castle was. Sir Robert, who was governor of the Island, reported that there was scarcely a gun mounted and no stores or provisions in the castle; nothing, however, was done, and three years later he wrote complaining that there was hardly a room not fallen in and into which the rain did not come. Repairs were then taken in hand and the garrison established, Captain Strange becoming governor. In 1675 a master gunner and three other gunners were added to the establishment, there being then nearly 30 guns mounted at the castle. In the same year Sir John Holmes petitioned for leave to purchase the governorship, and this being granted him he was appointed to the post. Captain Roach, who was captain of the castle at this time, having murdered a certain Lieutenant Newman, fled to Yarmouth, and borrowing a black cloak took boat to Hurst, where he was arrested.
