16th-century English Women
The 16th century begins with the Julian year 1501 ( MDI) and ends with either the Julian or the Gregorian year 1600 ( MDC) (depending on the reckoning used; the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The 16th century is regarded by historians as the century which saw the rise of Western civilization and the Islamic gunpowder empires. The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science. Galileo Galilei became a champion o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Francis Carew (died 1611)
Francis Carew (1530?–1611), of Beddington, Surrey was an English politician. Family Carew was the son of Nicholas Carew, friend of Henry VIII of England, and his wife, Elizabeth Bryan, who has been suggested as a possible mistress of Henry VIII's. Through his mother, he was a third cousin of both Edward VI and Elizabeth I, through their mothers. His father was executed for his supposed part in the Exeter Conspiracy in March 1539 and his lands were forfeited to the Crown. However his mother was a sister of Sir Francis Bryan, an intimate friend of the King, and through his goodwill, the family were able to live in reasonable comfort. By 1561 Carew had succeeded in recovering most of his father's forfeited estates, though he was forced to buy back Beddington from Thomas Darcy, 1st Baron Darcy of Chiche. Little is known of Carew's early life, but he is thought to have been attached to the household of Queen Catherine Parr. He rebuilt Beddington Hall, where he frequently enterta ...
