This concise book explores what it was like to be a sailor in the Georgian Navy - focusing on the period from 1714 to 1820, this book examines the Navy within its wider historical, national, organisational and military context, and reveals exactly what it took to survive a life in its service. It looks at how a seaman could join the Royal Navy, including the notorious 'press gangs'; what was meant by 'learning the ropes'; and the severe punishments that could be levied for even minor misdemeanours as a result of the Articles of War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Military tactics, including manning the guns and tactics for fending off pirates are also revealed, as is the problem of maintaining a healthy diet at sea - and the steps that sailors themselves could take to avoid the dreaded scurvy. Covering other fascinating topics as wide-ranging as exploration, mutiny, storms, shipwrecks, and women on board ships, this 'Sailor's Guide' explores the lives of the Navy's officers and sailors, using extracts from contemporary documents and writings to reconstruct their experiences in vivid detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37322290790564,"sku":"","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/0003\/1908\/products\/9781472830876.jpg?v=1609090957"},{"product_id":"tudor-and-stuart-seafarers-the-emergence-of-a-maritime-nation-1485-1707","title":"Tudor and Stuart Seafarers : The Emergence of a Maritime Nation, 1485-1707","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"editors\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEdited by:\u003c\/span\u003e James Davey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003eHardback 272 pages, Fully illustrated with colour paintings, maps and photographs throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 9 Aug 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTudor and Stuart Seafarers tells the compelling story of how a small island positioned on the edge of Europe transformed itself into the world's leading maritime power.

It is the story of Henry VIII's cataclysmic break with Rome, and his relentless pursuit of both the perfect wife and the perfect heir; of how the brief reign of the teenage king, Edward VI, gave way to the violent reimposition of Catholicism and the stench of bonfires under 'Bloody Mary'.\u003cbr\u003e It tells, too, of the long reign of Elizabeth I, which, though marked by civil strife, plots against the queen and even an invasion force, finally brought stability. Above all, however, it is the story of the English Reformation and the making of the Anglican Church. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, England was still largely feudal and looked to Rome for direction; at its end, it was a country where good governance was the duty of the state, not the church, and where men and women began to look to themselves for answers rather than to those who ruled them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37334823010468,"sku":"","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/0003\/1908\/products\/9781447236818.jpg?v=1609244463"},{"product_id":"dominion-a-history-of-england-volume-v","title":"Dominion : A History of England Volume V","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:  Peter Ackroyd\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003ePaperback 352 pages, 16pp colour plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pan Macmillan\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 19 Sep 2019\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'Ackroyd makes history accessible to the layman' - Ian Thomson, Independent The penultimate volume of Peter Ackroyd's masterful History of England series, Dominion begins in 1815 as national glory following the Battle of Waterloo gives way to post-war depression, spanning the last years of the Regency to the death of Queen Victoria in January 1901. In it, Ackroyd takes us from the accession of the profligate George IV whose government was steered by Lord Liverpool, who was firmly set against reform, to the reign of his brother, William IV, the 'Sailor King', whose reign saw the modernization of the political system and the abolition of slavery. But it was the accession of Queen Victoria, aged only eighteen, that sparked an era of enormous innovation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Technological progress - from steam railways to the first telegram - swept the nation and the finest inventions were showcased at the first Great Exhibition in 1851. The emergence of the middle classes changed the shape of society and scientific advances changed the old pieties of the Church of England, and spread secular ideas across the nation.

As the Georgian era gave way to that of Victoria, readers could delight not only in the work of Byron, Shelley and Wordsworth but also the great nineteenth-century novelists: the Bronte sisters, George Eliot, Mrs Gaskell, Thackeray, and, of course, Dickens, whose work has become synonymous with Victorian England.

The Stuart dynasty brought together the two nations of England and Scotland into one realm, albeit a realm still marked by political divisions that echo to this day. More importantly, perhaps, the Stuart era was marked by the cruel depredations of civil war, and the killing of a king.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ackroyd paints a vivid portrait of James I and his heirs. Shrewd and opinionated, the new King was eloquent on matters as diverse as theology, witchcraft and the abuses of tobacco, but his attitude to the English parliament sowed the seeds of the division that would split the country in the reign of his hapless heir, Charles I. Ackroyd offers a brilliant - warts and all - portrayal of Charles's nemesis Oliver Cromwell, Parliament's great military leader and England's only dictator, who began his career as a political liberator but ended it as much of a despot as 'that man of blood', the king he executed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e England's turbulent seventeenth century is vividly laid out before us, but so too is the cultural and social life of the period, notable for its extraordinarily rich literature, including Shakespeare's late masterpieces, Jacobean tragedy, the poetry of John Donne and Milton and Thomas Hobbes' great philosophical treatise, Leviathan.

In the spring of 1553 three ships sailed north-east from London into uncharted waters. The scale of their ambition was breathtaking.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on the latest navigational science and the new spirit of enterprise and discovery sweeping the Tudor capital, they sought a northern passage to Asia and its riches. The success of the expedition depended on its two leaders: Sir Hugh Willoughby, a brave gentleman soldier, and Richard Chancellor, a brilliant young scientist and practical man of the sea. When their ships became separated in a storm, each had to fend for himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Their fates were sharply divided. One returned to England, to recount extraordinary tales of the imperial court of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The tragic, mysterious story of the other two ships has to be pieced together through the surviving captain's log book, after he and his crew became lost and trapped by the advancing Arctic winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This long-neglected endeavour was one of the boldest in British history, and its impact was profound. Although the 'merchant adventurers' failed to reach China as they had hoped, their achievements would lay the foundations for England's expansion on a global stage.

Alison Weir. Henry VIII is well known for his tumultuous relationships with women, and he is often defined by his many marriages. But what do we see if we take a different look? When we see Henry through the men in his life, a new perspective on this famous king emerges. Henry's relationships with the men who surrounded him reveal much about his beliefs, behaviour and character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e They show him to be capable of fierce, but seldom abiding loyalty; of raising men only to destroy them later. He loved to be attended and entertained by boisterous young men who shared his passion for sport, but at other times he was more diverted by men of intellect, culture and wit. Often trusting and easily led by his male attendants and advisers during the early years of his reign, he matured into a profoundly suspicious and paranoid king whose favour could be suddenly withdrawn, as many of his later servants found to their cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His cruelty and ruthlessness would become ever more apparent as his reign progressed, but the tenderness that he displayed towards those he trusted proves that he was never the one-dimensional monster that he is often portrayed as.

After Wolsey's fall, Henry VIII promoted him to a series of ever greater offices, and by the end of the 1530s he was effectively running the country for the King.\u003cbr\u003e That decade was one of the most momentous in English history: it saw a religious break with the Pope, unprecedented use of parliament, the dissolution of all monasteries. Cromwell was central to all this, but establishing his role with precision, at a distance of nearly five centuries and after the destruction of many of his papers at his own fall, has been notoriously difficult. Diarmaid MacCulloch's biography is much the most complete and persuasive life ever written of this elusive figure, a masterclass in historical detective work, making connections not previously seen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It overturns many received interpretations, for example that Cromwell was a cynical, 'secular' politician without deep-felt religious commitment, or that he and Anne Boleyn were allies because of their common religious sympathies - in fact he destroyed her.

We think of Queen Elizabeth I's reign (1558-1603) as a golden age. But what was it actually like to live in Elizabethan England? If you could travel to the past and walk the streets of London in the 1590s, where would you stay? What would you eat? What would you wear? Would you really have a sense of it being a glorious age? And if so, how would that glory sit alongside the vagrants, diseases, violence, sexism and famine of the time? In this book Ian Mortimer reveals a country in which life expectancy is in the early thirties, people still starve to death and Catholics are persecuted for their faith. Yet it produces some of the finest writing in the English language, some of the most magnificent architecture, and sees Elizabeth's subjects settle in America and circumnavigate the globe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37335633526948,"sku":"","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/0003\/1908\/products\/9780099542070.jpg?v=1609255571"},{"product_id":"the-time-travellers-guide-to-medieval-england","title":"The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format icon-add\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:  Ian Mortimer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format icon-add\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003ePaperback 368 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 1 Oct 2009\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiscover an original, entertaining and illuminating guide to a completely different world: England in the Middle Ages.

This book will answer this question, as well as looking at fashion, food, science, art, medicine, magic, literature, love, politics, faith and superstition through a new lens, leaving the reader enlightened and with a new regard for the ingenuity and character of our ancestors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37395449479332,"sku":"","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/0003\/1908\/products\/9781526755629.jpg?v=1610035770"},{"product_id":"kings-of-georgian-britain","title":"Kings of Georgian Britain","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor: Catherine Curzon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003eHardback 215 pages, 32 illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePen \u0026amp; Sword Books\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 20 Mar 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor over a century of turmoil, upheaval and scandal, Great Britain was a Georgian land. From the day the German-speaking George I stepped off the boat from Hanover, to the night that George IV, bloated and diseased, breathed his last at Windsor, the four kings had presided over a changing nation. Kings of 18th Century Great Britain offers a fresh perspective on the lives of the four Georges and the events that shaped their characters and reigns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From love affairs to family feuds, political wrangling and beyond, it is a chance to peer behind the pomp and follow these iconic figures from cradle to grave. As their very different lives will show, being a king isn't always about grand parties and jaw-dropping jewels, and sometimes following in a father's footsteps can be the hardest job around. Take a step back in time and meet the wives, mistresses, friends and foes of these remarkable kings who shaped the nation, and find out what really went on behind closed palace doors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37395473301668,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/0003\/1908\/products\/13556.jpg?v=1610036239"},{"product_id":"queens-of-georgian-britian","title":"Queens of Georgian Britian","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor: Catherine Curzon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003eHardback 220 pages, 32 illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePen \u0026amp; Sword Books\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 9 Oct 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce upon a time there were four kings called George who, thanks to a quirk of fate, ruled Great Britain for over a century. Hailing from Germany, these occasionally mad, bad and infamous sovereigns presided over a land in turmoil. Yet what of the remarkable women who were crowned alongside them? From the forgotten princess locked in a tower to an illustrious regent, a devoted consort and a notorious party girl, the queens of Georgian Britain lived lives of scandal, romance and turbulent drama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whether dipping into politics or carousing on the shores of Italy, Caroline of Ansbach, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Caroline of Brunswick refused to fade into the background. Queens of Georgian Britain offers a chance to step back in time and meet the women who ruled alongside the Georgian monarchs, not forgetting Sophia Dorothea of Celle, the passionate princess who never made it as far as the throne. From lonely childhoods to glittering palaces, via family feuds, smallpox, strapping soldiers and plenty of scheming, these are the queens who shaped an era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37395491979428,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/0003\/1908\/products\/9781473858527.jpg?v=1610036509"},{"product_id":"the-time-travellers-guide-to-regency-britain-1","title":"The Time Traveller's Guide to Regency Britain","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor: Ian Mortimer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"col1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003eHardback 432 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 12 Nov 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIan Mortimer's Time Traveller's Guide to Regency Britain tells you all you need to know about criminals, disease, beggars and other late Georgian delights if you ever find yourself visiting the 1790s.' Daily Telegraph, History Books of the Year This is the age of Jane Austen and the Romantic poets; the paintings of John Constable and the gardens of Humphry Repton; the sartorial elegance of Beau Brummell and the poetic licence of Lord Byron; Britain's military triumphs at Trafalgar and Waterloo; the threat of revolution and the Peterloo massacre. In the latest volume of his celebrated series of Time Traveller's Guides, Ian Mortimer turns to what is arguably the most-loved period in British history - the Regency, or Georgian England. A time of exuberance, thrills, frills and unchecked bad behaviour, it was perhaps the last age of true freedom before the arrival of the stifling world of Victorian morality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, it was a period of transition that reflected unprecedented social, economic and political change. And like all periods in history, it was an age of many contradictions - where Beethoven's thundering Fifth Symphony could premier in the same year that saw Jane Austen craft the delicate sensitivities of Persuasion. Once more, Ian Mortimer takes us on a thrilling journey to the past, revealing what people ate, drank and wore; where they shopped and how they amused themselves; what they believed in and what they were afraid of.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37395527008420,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/0003\/1908\/products\/9781847924568_8450c0e8-4ba4-4b0e-82de-30b106e43002.jpg?v=1610036785"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.ornc.org\/collections\/history-books.oembed?page=6","provider":"Old Royal Naval College Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
