Constance Markievicz - Rebel countess

Constance Markievicz, née Gore-Booth, (1868-1927), was born in London, though her family owned an estate in County Sligo, Ireland. Instead of being a well-to-do lady, Constance wanted to become an artist and left for Paris. There she met a destitute Polish count, Casimir Dunin Markievicz and married him. She gave birth to a daughter in 1901. In 1903, the family settled in Dublin, where Constance helped establish the United Arts Club, but the couple soon became estranged.

By 1907, Constance started to fight for women’s rights. In 1908, she co-founded a scouting organization and trained young people to fight for the nationalist cause. In 1913, she joined the Irish Citizen Army, a group created to protect demonstrators from the police during the 1913 Lockout. Constance also borrowed money and sold her jewelry to feed the starving protesters. 

In 1915, she advised women who wanted to be involved in the cause to:

“Dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels and gold wands in the bank, and buy a revolver. Don’t trust your “feminine charm” and your capacity for getting the soft side of men, but take up your responsibilities and be prepared to go your own way depending for safety on your own courage, your own truth and your own common sense, and not on the problematic chivalry of the men you may meet on the way”.

Constance fought during the 1916 Easter rising, an Irish nationalist and republican rebellion. She was second-in-command of the forces at St. Stephen Green and one of the only two female officers in the Irish Citizen Army. Fourteen other women fought actively among the rebels. Among the insurgents, Constance and Margaret Skinnider were reportedly the best snipers among the insurgents. Constance wore trousers and carried a gun. She wrote about her part in the fight:

“This work was very exciting when the fighting began. I continued round and round the Green, reporting back anything that was wanted, or tackling any sniper that was particularly objectionable”.

The rebels were forced to surrender after six days. Constance refused at first, but had to give up. She kissed her revolver before handling it to her foes. On may 4, she was tried and sentenced to be executed, but her sentence was commuted to life imprisonment on behalf of her sex. When learning of the verdict she said: “I do wish your lot had the decency to shoot me”.

She was, however, released in 1917 and became the first woman elected to the parliament, in Britain and Ireland and later, as minister of Labour, the second female cabinet minister anywhere in the world.

She fought again during the 1922-1923 Irish civil war. A rifleman who fought by her side gave the following account:

“It made my position in the shelter of the cornice as dangerous a one as you could find. I was due for relief and I wasn’t sorry for that. But when my relief came, who was it but Madame (Constance) (…) I didn’t like the idea of a woman taking over that position. But Madame just waved me to one side with that imperious air she could put when she wanted to have her own way. She slipped into what little shelter there was, carrying with her an automatic Parabellum Pistol (…). I couldn’t rightly say how long she was up there, for I was so tired that I drowsed off to sleep. But when I woke up, the first thing I noticed was something different in the sound of the firing. The steady, continuous rattle of fire that I learned to pick out from the sound of rifle and machine gun fire up and down the street had ceased; the sniper’s post in Henry Street was silent”.

Constance died in 1927, at the age of 59, officially from appendicitis. By then, she had given almost all her fortune to the poor. She received official funerals in Dublin.

Jason Anderson

British artist Jason Anderson creates colorful abstract paintings composed of pixelated swatches of pastel-toned oil paint. Up-close, the artist’s paintings look like blocky layers of shapes and color; but, from afar, his scenes—featuring cityscapes, roads, trains, and marinas—are revealed.

Anderson began his career as a stained glass apprentice, where he worked on restoring the windows of cathedrals. He soon progressed onto designing the glass murals himself, where he learned how to break down subject matter into “jigsaws” of colored sections. This approach still shines through in his paintings today—complex scenes are brought to life with simple shapes and careful consideration to hue and tone.

“The wheel has come full circle. I am here.”

– King Lear, Act V, Scene iii

William Shakespeare is believed to have both been born and died on this day (April 23) in 1564 and 1616, respectively. His astonishing body of work has become one of the most enduring legacies of England and its language.

Isn’t she just delightful?

Catherine of Aragon has one of the more fascinating media legacies of anyone in the Tudor period, not in terms of how her image has fluctuated over the years, but because of how notably it hasn’t. Other hardcore Catholics of the Henrician court are inevitably vilified in stories from Protestant perspectives - Thomas More, Cardinal Wolsey, Jane Seymour and above all else Mary I, to name a few. “Protestant perspectives” doesn’t just refer to reformation texts, it includes books from the perspective of Protestant figures; usually Anne Boleyn or Elizabeth I, and more recently Thomas Cromwell with Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall books. Despite her unwavering faith in both the Catholic Church and her own position, Catherine’s reputation has, up until the past twenty years or so, remained close to stellar; her marriage into the English monarchy at a young age did well to divorce her from her parent’s religious persecutions, and her death some fifteen years or so before her daughter took the throne kept her from being tarnished by association to Mary’s resurrection of medieval heresy laws.

The Remnants of Anne Boleyn

After Anne Boleyn’s execution, Henry VIII made it a priority to erase every memory of her. Many believe he even had her portraits and trial records destroyed, which does seem very likely. We know for a fact that he had her badges and arms removed from every building... well, kind of. Fortunately for us, the men who were removing them either missed some or were just too lazy. Here are some symbols of Anne Boleyn that remain to this day:

Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn’s initials intertwined at King’s College Chaple.

Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn’s initials intertwined at Hampton Court Palace underneath the clock tower.

A different version of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn’s initials intertwined at Hampton Court Palace.

Anne Boleyn’s falcon badge carved into the wall of the main chamber at the Tower of London. It is believed this was made during her fall by a man who wanted to honor her memory, and the rough design indicates he didn’t have much time to make it.

James I Presentation Armour 

This armour was given to James I as a diplomatic gift from Tokugawa Hidetada of Japan in 1613. It was brought back from Japan to England by Captain John Saris of the East India Company and had been designed by the armourer Iwai Yozaemon of Nara in about 1610. The armour has been on display in the Tower of London since 1662, although it was wrongly labelled for several centuries.
