HOPTON, STRETTON GRANSOME, CANON FROME, BISHOPS FROME, GEORGE IIIBiblio.com

Grant of arms donated by Isaac Heard Garter principal King of Arms and George Harrison Clarenceux King of Arms of the south east and west parts of England to the reverend William Hopton -1841 heretofore known as William Parsons of Stretton Gransome in the county of Hereford now city of Hereford clerk in order to grant him the arms belonging to the name of Hopton he took earlier in the year by Royal decree.

réf. #[60986]British Empire d.d. 1 August 1817. Vellum charter good condition. 60x45 cm. Manuscript text and calligraphy with 4 coloured coats of arms three of the King and the officials and one of Hopton. Original 'signatures' written names and attached wax seals of both officials in decorated wooden spane casings. Encased in a made to fit oblong wooden case with metal closing mechanism and clothed with red linen decorated in gold with GR initials and crowns. This comes with an original letter from George W. Marshall Rouge Croix from the College of Arms dated 1900 and the Royal licence signed by Queen Victoria adressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Hopton for a change of name and arms from John Dutton Hunt to Hopton. This charter explains that William Hopton heretofore William Parsons only surviving son of John Parsons MP of Kemerton Court county Gloucester deceased by Deborah his wife who was the daughter of Richard Hopton of Canon Frome in Hereford and the aunt of Richard Cope Hopton also deceased took the name of Hopton by Royal decree of 11 March 1817 in order to inherit the Canon Frome estate. It also relates to the impressive family history dating several centuries back. The Hoptons had lived at Canon Frome for several generations the succession often being through the female line. The Canon Frome estate was one of the largest in the county and he was a typical squarson'. William Parsons Hopton married twice first to Mary Graves and second to Anna Poole and his eldest grandson by the second marriage Edward married his cousin Clare Ellen Trafford. A soldier who served in the Crimea Indian Mutiny and the Kaffir and Zulu Wars Edward became a General and was knighted in 1900. He and his son Edward after him were Trustees of the Michaelchurch Estate and Eliza Rawson bought them a house at Cagebrook in the parish of Eaton Bishop. It seems that Canon Frome Court is now inhabitated by a rural living community of adults and children. Kemerton Court apparently the ancestral home of the Parsons family still exists and in the village of Kemerton there is a two storey tower still known as "Parsons folly". Unusual is the grant of a crest "out of a Ducal Coronet" "under the peculiar circumstances and the antiquity of the family" but "may not be made a precedent." H96 hardcover

King George References the Illness that Gave Rise to the Epithet ""Mad King George""

1701réf. 3775117/01/1801. A rare ALS of the King just weeks before yet another episode of his illness King George demonized in the New World for mental incapacity struggled throughout his life. He had experienced a poorly documented illness in 1765 but the episode beginning in 1788 was dramatically more serious. Earlier that year he suffered physical problems including jaundice or gall-duct trouble. After spending time recuperating at Cheltenham his behavior became increasingly abnormal. By October and November after returning to Windsor he was unmistakably suffering from a major psychiatric episode. Contemporary observers described a striking cluster of symptoms: extreme agitation extraordinarily rapid and incessant speech sleeplessness racing thoughts emotional volatility inappropriate familiarity delusions and at times violent or uncontrollable behavior. Treatments were typical of eighteenth-century medicine and could be brutal. The King was subjected to bloodletting blistering purgatives and emetics; some medicines contained substances such as antimony that could themselves produce serious side effects. In the interim he was unable to properly rule. This was a major English constitutional crisis with domestic issues playing out while a potential regency was being mapped out. What would they do with a living but ""mad"" King Parliament spent the winter of 1788–89 wrestling with the extraordinary question of how to create a regency when the monarch was alive but incapable of giving royal assent to the legislation establishing it. And then George recovered. By February 1789 his physicians were increasingly confident. On February 26 the medical bulletin announced the ""entire cessation of His Majesty's illness."" It was this illness that gave credence to the name ""mad King George."" Among the men at his bedside in 1788-9 was apothecary Robert Battiscombe. He had been treating members of the royal household since about 1780 and personally attended George during the King's famous 1788–89 episode of mental illness including cupping him applying and dressing blisters bleeding him and sitting regular watches over him. His surviving memorandum book records those encounters. In early 1801 the King's longtime apothecary John Devaynes died. For a time he wanted another apothecary Everard Augustus Brande to fill the role. He was a first-generation Englishman. But ultimately he wanted to reward Battiscombe. The Marquess of Salisbury is James Cecil 1st Marquess of Salisbury. He was a senior courtier and politician under George III and served as Lord Chamberlain of the Household from 1783 to 1804. Autograph letter signed January 17 1801 Queen's House to Salisbury. ""I am sensible of the Marquess of Salisbury's Attention in having immediately acquainted Me of the death of Mr Desvaines one of my Apothecaries. I as well as every one of my Predecessors have employed constantly Mr. Brande's Shop. I desire therefore that Mr. Brande Junior who is an Englishman may be appointed to succeed Mr. Desvaines. The other Apothecary is now an Old Man his employment less lucrative. The attention shewn me by Mr. Battiscombe of Windsor during my illness and his constant attendance when I am there will make him highly deserving of it when it shall it become vacant."" George suffered a serious recurrence of his mental illness in February 1801 less than a month after this letter was written. Beginning around February 12–13 the King became increasingly agitated talkative sleepless and eventually delirious at one point reportedly praying that God would either let him die or spare his reason. The attack coincided with an intense political crisis over Catholic emancipation: George believed granting political rights to Catholics would violate his Coronation Oath and the dispute contributed to William Pitt's resignation; George himself later blamed Pitt for having caused his illness. By February 22 the King was considered incapable of properly exercising his royal functions and members of the Willis family who had treated him during his famous 1788–89 breakdown were again summoned. Unlike that earlier crisis however the 1801 episode was comparatively brief and George had substantially recovered by early March. Battiscombe would in 1805 become apothecary of Windsor to the royal household. He stayed in that role for decades — he's the apothecary of Windsor recorded as handling the king's post-mortem preparations in 1820. <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt=""historical memorabilia dealer"" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown

Letter signed "George R" and subscribed in French to Wilhelm Frederick King of Prussia accrediting the bearer "le Sieur Hammond Mon Sous Sécrétaire d'Etat au Departement des Affaires etrangères lequel J'ai chargé d'une Mission extraordinaire auprès de Votre Majesté"

réf. 19779St James 30 July 1796. 2 pages 9 x 7 inches plus integral address leaf gilt edges in fine fresh and attractive condition bearing two seals in red wax with ends of red silk ties SIGNED BY A RELUCTANT GEORGE III ON BEHALF OF HIS FORMER MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES. The bearer of this letter George Hammond had returned to England after serving as the first British Minister to the United States of America in 1795. He was then promoted by George Grenville the Foreign Secretary to act as his senior Under-Secretary with George Canning serving as the second. Meanwhile faced with Napoleon's victories in Italy and the Rhineland Pitt's First Coalition was facing collapse. Grenville keen on an alliance with Prussia proposed that her support could be ensured by giving her a free hand in annexing either of the Belgic provinces or extensive domains in Germany; a plan that was turned down by George III with the cutting observation that 'Italian politics are too complicated for my understanding'. Nevertheless as Ward puts it the British Cabinet was in its desperation 'prepared to act on the degrading principle of gaining the help of a powerful State by conniving at its annexation of a week neighbour' Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy ii p. 267. Hammond as per our letter was therefore despatched to Berlin with George III's reluctant agreement. But he had no luck. For when he got to Berlin he discovered that the King was away and nothing could be done in his absence. So he let the matter drop. unknown

Letters from His late Majesty to the late Lord Kenyon on the coronation oath with his Lordship's answers: and letters of the Rt. Hon. William Pitt to His late Majesty with His Majesty's answers previous to the dissolution of the ministry in 1801.

1827réf. 619L14London: John Murray 1827. First edition. Leather. Good Only. 11" by 9". None. A selection of letters from George III to two political figures regarding the proposition of Catholic emancipation and his Coronation Oath. He writes to British politician and barrister Lord Kenyon and the then Prime Minister William Pitt. The first edition of this uncommon work. These letters are associated with the political process during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century regarding the 'Catholic emancipation' or 'relief'. Following the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland there was a call to remove many of the restrictions on Roman Catholics introduced by the Act of Uniformity Test Acts and penal laws. During the Act of Union William Pitt the Younger the Prime Minister at the time promised emancipation to accompany the act. However no further steps were taken. This was due to King George III believing that any Catholic emancipation would violate his Coronation Oath. To this work there are correspondences between Pitt and George III regarding this matter. Pitt resigned from his position as Prime Minister when the King's opposition became known. To the main body of this work George writes to Kenyon regarding the standing of the Coronation Oath. He notes to the first letter that 'The following Queries on the present attempt to abolish all distinctions in Religion in Ireland with the intention of favouring the Roman Catholics in that Kingdom.' The King is enquiring to Kenyon as to whether emancipation would affect his Coronation Oath. With an introduction by Henry Phillpotts a well known opponent of Catholic emancipation. One of his well known works is 'A Letter to an English Layman on the Coronation Oath which was issued after this work. This copy is from the Bishop Phillpotts Library in Truro with a bookplate for the library to the front pastedown. The Philpotts library is still an important centre for theological studies. It was first opened in 1871 by Henry Phillpotts. Another prior owner's bookplate to front pastedown 'Henricus Exoniensis'. There are six letters between Kenyon and George III to this volume and five letters between Pitt and the King. With a facsimile letter by George III as the frontispiece. The first edition of this interesting contemporaneous account of British history. In a half calf binding with paper covered boards. Externally sound with slight rubbing to the boards spine and extremities. Loss to the calf at the spine due to a previous library removal.
