Snape Castle
Snape Castle is a semi-fortified manor house in the village of Snape, North Yorkshire, England. The castle is south of Bedale and north of Ripon. At the time of Henry VIII, John Leland described it as "...a goodly castel in a valley eonging to the Lorde Latimer.." The castle is now a private residence, and is a grade I listed building. History References throughout history have indicated that a manor house was built on the site by Ralph FitzRanulph of Middleham. His daughter, ''the Lady of Middleham'' married Robert Neville, Robert de Neville's son, and the building stayed in the Neville family until the 16th century. Snape Castle itself, which lies at the western edge of the village of Snape, was built sometime in the early 15th century, (between 1425 and 1430), when George Neville, inherited the land and buildings from his father, Ralph, the Earl of Westmorland.

Baron Latimer
The title Baron Latimer or Latymer has been created, by the definitions of modern peerage law, four times in the Peerage of England. Of these, one (of Snape) was restored from abeyance in 1913; one (of Braybrook) is forfeit; the other two (both of Corby) are dormant, although their heir is well known. Name and title All of these, and the title of Viscount Latimer, belong to the descendants of the same medieval family, whose surname was Latimer (''Latiner'' or "translator"); the fourteenth-century form of the name should therefore be ''le Latimer'', but it is often found as ''de Latimer'' as though it were a placename. Armorials The arms of Latimer appear originally to have been ''Gules, a cross patonce or''. The stems of a cross patonce should expand, as a cross pattée, then terminate more or less like a cross flory. The earliest surviving representation is on the seal of William Latimer, 1st Baron Latimer (died 1305), affixed to the Barons' Letter of 1301 to the Pope. The ...

King Henry VIII
Henry VIII (28 June 149128 January 1547) was King of England from 22 April 1509 until his death in 1547. Henry is best known for his six marriages, and for his efforts to have his first marriage (to Catherine of Aragon) annulled. His disagreement with Pope Clement VII about such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority. He appointed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and dissolved convents and monasteries, for which he was excommunicated by the pope. Henry is also known as "the father of the Royal Navy" as he invested heavily in the navy and increased its size from a few to more than 50 ships, and established the Navy Board. Domestically, Henry is known for his radical changes to the English Constitution, ushering in the theory of the divine right of kings in opposition to papal supremacy. He also greatly expanded royal power during his reign. He frequently used charges of treason and h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
