Events on the 11th November

Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 919. This year King Edward (age 45) went with his army to Bedford [Map], before Martinmas, and conquered the town; and almost all the burgesses, who obeyed him before, returned to him; and he sat there four weeks, and ordered the town to be repaired on the south side of the water, ere he departed thence.

John of Worcester. 1029. Canute (age 34), king of England, Denmark, and Norway, returned to England, and after the feast of St. Martin [11 Nov] banished Hakon, a Danish earl, who had married the noble lady Gunilda, his sister's daughter by Wyrtgeorn, king of the Winidi, sending him away under pretence of an embassy; for he feared that the earl would take either his life or his kingdoms.

On 11 Nov 1050 Henry Holy Roman Emperoir was born to Henry "Black Pious" Salian III Holy Roman Emperor (age 33) and Agnes Poitiers.

On 11 Nov 1154 Sancho "Populator" I King Portugal was born to Afonso "Conqueror Founder Great" I King Portugal (age 45) and Malfada Savoy Queen Consort Portugal (age 29). His nickname "Populator" a consequence of the number of children he fathered; over sixty apparently.

On 11 Nov 1220 Alphonse Capet Count Poitou II Count Toulose was born to King Louis VIII of France (age 33) and Blanche Ivrea Queen Consort France (age 32) at Poissy, Yvelines. He a great grandson of King Henry "Curtmantle" II of England.

Chronica Majora. 11 Nov 1236. On the day after the feast of St. Martin, and within the octaves of that feast, great inundations of the sea suddenly broke forth by night, and a fierce storm of wind arose, which caiLsed inundations of the rivers as well as of the sea, and in places, especially on the coast, drove the ships from their ports, tearing them from their anchors, drowned great numbers of people, destroyed flocks of sheep, and herds of cattle, tore up trees by the roots, overthrew houses, and ravaged the coast. The sea rose for two days and the intermediate night, a circumstance before unheard of, and did not ebb and flow in its usual way, being impeded (as was said) by the violence of the opposing winds. The dead bodies of those drowned were seen lying unburied in caves formed by the sea, near the coast, and at Wisbeach [Map] and the neighbouring villages, and along the seacoast, an endless number of human beings perished: in one town, and that not a populous one, about a hundred bodies were consigned to the tomb in one day. In the night of Christmas eve, also, a very fierce storm of wind raged, attended by thunder and a deluge of rain, and shook towers and other buildings, and the confusion of the elements rendered the roads and seas impassable. And thus in that year about the equinoctial season, the storm twice repeated ravaged England with irreparable damage. The Lord indeed seemed, owing to the sins of the people, to have sent this flood as a scourge to the earth, and to fulfil the threat contained in the Gospel "There shall be upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring."

On 11 Nov 1285 Peter III King Aragon (age 45) died. His son Alfonso III King Aragon (age 20) succeeded III King Aragon.

Has received their letters, which he communicated to the Cardinal, who is now gone to a place of his in consequence of the sickness. The Bp. of Paris and De la Guiche have arrived as ambassadors from France. They could not obtain admission to the King through fear of the plague. "I endeavoured to learn the cause of their coming, but the Reverend Bishop of Ely having made his appearance, I had no opportunity. It is said that they have come about certain reprisals, but I do not believe that envoys of such dignity would have been sent on so trivial an errand, especially as the aforesaid Bishop of Ely and the Lord Chamberlain, who had been appointed as envoys to France, will now not go there." The King is abroad, and moves from place to place on account of the plague, which makes great ravages in the royal Household. Some of the pages who slept in his chamber have died. None remain with him except three favorite gentlemen and Memo. Violent storms have destroyed the shipping. London, 11 Nov. 1517.

Pepy's Diary. 11 Nov 1664. After dinner out again by coach to my Chancellor's (age 55), but could not speak with him, then up and down to seek Sir Ph. Warwicke (age 54), Sir G. Carteret (age 54), and my Lord Berkeley (age 62), but failed in all, and so home and there late at business. Among other things Mr. Turner making his complaint to me how my clerks do all the worke and get all the profit, and he hath no comfort, nor cannot subsist, I did make him apprehend how he is beholding to me more than to any body for my suffering him to act as Pourveyour of petty provisions, and told him so largely my little value of any body's favour, that I believe he will make no complaints again a good while.

Pepy's Diary. 11 Nov 1664. By and by we were called in, where a great many lords: Annesly (age 50) in the chair. But, Lord! to see what work they will make us, and what trouble we shall have to inform men in a business they are to begin to know, when the greatest of our hurry is, is a thing to be lamented; and I fear the consequence will be bad to us.

Pepy's Diary. 11 Nov 1664. Up, and with Sir J. Minnes (age 65) and Sir W. Batten (age 63) to the Council Chamber at White Hall, to the Committee of the Lords for the Navy, where we were made to wait an houre or two before called in. In that time looking upon some books of heraldry of Sir Edward Walker's making, which are very fine, there I observed the Duke of Monmouth's (age 15) armes are neatly done, and his title, "The most noble and high-born Prince, James Scott, Duke of Monmouth (age 15), &c."; nor could Sir J. Minnes (age 65), nor any body there, tell whence he should take the name of Scott? And then I found my Lord Sandwich (age 39), his title under his armes is, "The most noble and mighty Lord, Edward, Earl of Sandwich, &c".

Pepy's Diary. 11 Nov 1667. Up, and to Simpson at work in my office, and thence with Sir G. Carteret (age 57) (who come to talk with me) to Broad Streete, where great crowding of people for money, at which he blamed himself.

Pepy's Diary. 11 Nov 1667. Thence with him and Lord Bruncker (age 47) to Captain Cocke's (age 50) (he out of doors), and there drank their morning draught, and thence Sir G. Carteret (age 57) and I toward the Temple [Map] in coach together; and there he did tell me how the King (age 37) do all he can in the world to overthrow my Chancellor (age 58), and that notice is taken of every man about the King (age 37) that is not seen to promote the ruine of the Chancellor (age 58); and that this being another great day in his business, he dares not but be there. He tells me that as soon as Secretary Morrice (age 65) brought the Great Seale from my Chancellor (age 58), Bab. May (age 39) fell upon his knees, and catched the King (age 37) about the legs, and joyed him, and said that this was the first time that ever he could call him King of England, being freed from this great man: which was a most ridiculous saying. And he told me that, when first my Lord Gerard (age 49), a great while ago, come to the King (age 37), and told him that the Chancellor (age 58) did say openly that the King (age 37) was a lazy person and not fit to govern, which is now made one of the things in the people's mouths against the Chancellor (age 58), "Why", says the King (age 37), "that is no news, for he hath told me so twenty times, and but the other day he told me so"; and made matter of mirth at it: but yet this light discourse is likely to prove bad to him. I 'light at the Temple [Map], and went to my tailor's and mercer's about a cloake, to choose the stuff, and so to my bookseller's and bought some books, and so home to dinner, and Simpson my joyner with me, and after dinner, my wife, and I, and Willett, to the King's play-house, and there saw "The Indian Emperour", a good play, but not so good as people cry it up, I think, though above all things Nell's ill speaking of a great part made me mad.

Pepy's Diary. 11 Nov 1668. Up, and my wife with me as before, and so to the Office, where, by a speciall desire, the new Treasurers come, and there did shew their Patent, and the Great Seal for the suspension of my Lord Anglesey (age 54): and here did sit and discourse of the business of the Office: and brought Mr. Hutchinson with them, who, I hear, is to be their Paymaster, in the room of Mr. Waith. For it seems they do turn out every servant that belongs to the present Treasurer: and so for Fenn, do bring in Mr. Littleton, Sir Thomas's (age 47) brother, and oust all the rest. But Mr. Hutchinson do already see that his work now will be another kind of thing than before, as to the trouble of it. They gone, and, indeed, they appear, both of them, very intelligent men, I home to dinner, and there with my people dined, and so to my wife, who would not dine with [me] that she might not have the girle come in sight, and there sat and talked a while with her and pretty quiet, I giving no occasion of offence, and so to the office1, and there having done, I home and to supper and to bed, where, after lying a little while, my wife starts up, and with expressions of affright and madness, as one frantick, would rise, and I would not let her, but burst out in tears myself, and so continued almost half the night, the moon shining so that it was light, and after much sorrow and reproaches and little ravings (though I am apt to think they were counterfeit from her), and my promise again to discharge the girle myself, all was quiet again, and so to sleep.

Note 1. and then by coach to my cozen Roger Pepys (age 51), who did, at my last being with him this day se'nnight, move me as to the supplying him with £500 this term, and £500 the next, for two years, upon a mortgage, he having that sum to pay, a debt left him by his father, which I did agree to, trusting to his honesty and ability, and am resolved to do it for him, that I may not have all I have lie in the King's hands. Having promised him this I returned home again, where to the office.

Evelyn's Diary. 11 Nov 1677. I was all this week composing matters between old Mrs. Howard (age 51) and Sir Gabriel Sylvius, upon his long and earnest addresses to Mrs. Anne (age 24), her second daughter, maid of honor to the Queen (age 38). My friend, Mrs. Godolphin (age 25) (who exceedingly loved the young lady) was most industrious in it, out of pity to the languishing knight; so as though there were great differences in their years, it was at last effected, and they were married the 13th, in Henry VII.'s Chapel [Map], by the Bishop of Rochester (age 52), there being besides my wife (age 42) and Mrs. Graham (age 26), her sister, Mrs. Godolphin (age 25), and very few more. We dined at the old lady's (age 51), and supped at Mr. Graham's (age 28) at St. James's.

Middleton-by-Youlgreave. November 11th we continued the examination without success until near dark when we found a long grave in the rock parallel with the depression occupied by the former skeleton, and not more than a yard from it. It was eighteen inches deep, and covered with large stones; in it lay the skeleton of a young female, as usual on the left side, in a contracted posture. Before the face were indications of the skeleton of a very young child, and a highly-ornamented drinking cup of red clay, which lay crushed upon its side with the mouth towards the feet of the skeleton: it contained one broken instrument of flint. It was evident that the grave had been occupied by a previous tenant, whose bones, together with the remains of another drinking cup beautifully decorated, and a bit of stages horn, had been collected and placed under one of the large stones that covered the grave. This had clearly been done at the time when the female was buried. Owing to the lateness of the hour at which this interment was found, we were obliged to clear out the grave by candlelight, and thinking that something further might be discovered by day, we resumed the search on the 13th of November, but found only one rude flint arrow point in the grave; and a piece of a sandstone quern in refilling the excavation. There were many rats' bones in some parts of the mound, but not in the profusion sometimes met with.

The Spectator Volume 1063 1848 Nov 11. 11 Nov 1848. The sudden and death of Lord Midleton (deceased) at Peper-Harrow Park, was briefly mentioned in our latest impression of last week.

On Monday, an inquest was held over the body. The cause of death was fully proved to have been, as we mentioned, the fumes of charcoal burned in a close room. Lord Midleton had ordered a brazier of burning charcoal to be placed in A small unfrequented room, for the ostensible purpose of drying the damp walls; and he was found dead in this room by his valet. He had taken a pillow from his bedroom, and placed it on step in the other room, and there lay down and died. Several witnesses proved that of late his Lordship had shown signs of deep grief, and even of consequent mental derangement, caused by the circumstances of a Lawsuit with a Mr. Beadon, and Lady Midleton's voluntary separation from him.

Mr. J. Debenham, clerk Mr. Henry Marshall, solicitor, said that he was frequently in his Lordship's company — sometimes for a day together. He often noticed that he was very low-spirited; and he seemed to suffer in mind on account of a lawsuit he had with a Mr. Beadon. The last time he was speaking of something he wanted completed; for in the event of his death, he said, it would be difficult to finish. He then burst out crying. He left the room, and on his return he noticed that he had been crying much.

[Our own information couples the name of another Metropolitan Magistrate with this litigation, under circumstances of a justly exasperating nature to poor Lord Midleton.]

The Reverend Lawrence W. Elliott, of Peper-Harrow, said that he had known the deceased for many years. In July 1847, Lord Midleton communicated to him the intelligence of her Ladyship having left him, and added, that it was all his own fault. He was then in such a distressed state of mind that witness did not like to leave him by himself. Two or three days afterwards, Lord Midleton told witness that he was in such a distressed state that he had hardly been able to keep himself from laying violent hands on himself. Mr. Elliott could not attribute his state of mind to anything else than the separation between himself and Lady Midleton. About the middle of March 1848, whilst conversing with witness, he said, "Oh, my life is a hell on earth and added, that be bad had such a night, that he would not have another like it for all the world; and he concluded by saying that he had been on his knees all the night. He was extremely violent In his language, and seemed to suspect his best friends of wanting Lady Midleton to set him at defiance. He often said he hoped he should be seized with a fit of apoplexy and die. During the last two months, he had spoken of how he had disposed of his property, and what would be the result after his death. On the morning of Wednesday last, be attended at his Lordship's late residence. In the room where he was lying were some verses and letters, with a document headed The last will and testament." [Lord Midleton was a man of peculiarly generous feeling and quick sensibility. Lady Midleton herself, in the accomplishments and matrimonial position which she owed to his affection, afforded an instance of his generosity and superiority to social prejudice.]

The Jury found the following verdict—

"That the Right Honourable George Alan, Viscount Midleton, in a certain room In Peper-Harrow mansion, in the parish of Peper-Harrow, within the county of Surrey, Did, on Wednesday the 1st November 1848, destroy his own life, be being at the time in a state or temporary insanity."

George Alan Brodrick, Viscount Midleton. Baron Brodrick of Midleton, Ireland, and Baron Brodrick of Peper-Harrow, Surrey. was son of George the fourth Viscount. He married Ellen, daughter of — Griffiths; leaves no issue; and will be succeeded by his cousin Charles; who is a barrister, and the son of the late Archbishop of Cashel. The Brodrick family is of ancient Norman stock.

Red Cross and Berlin Embassy. Hotel Vouillement. Monday November 11th 1918.

At 10 a.m. the proprietor of the hotel came to my room and told me that the Articles of the Armistice had been actually signed. After a few overwhelming moments the joy of the fait accompli drew me from my room into the street. People had not yet heard the news, but every face was smiling and hopeful. I secured, in a little shop, an English cockade, but the French colours were already sold out, so I went on to the Printemps and bought a piece of tricolor ribbon to tie round the cockade and pinned them together on to my coat. As I left the Printemps the first Victory gun was fired. At once every man, woman and child rushed out into the streets which soon became impassable and completely blocked; American cars and gay little midinettes being much in evidence.

Later in the day I was starting to saunter round the corner to the Embassy when Marquise (Corise) de Noailles arrived in her tiny car to fetch me. French flags were tied all over it, and a croix de guerre adolescent classe dix-huity was on one step, and an intoxicated Belgian on the other. They insisted on handshakes and accolades and only after much delay could they be induced to start the engine and allow us to move off. When we turned into the Faubourg St. Honord the crowd pressing towards the Embassy was so great that Lord Derby’s car, which was coming out of the courtyard to take him to the Chamber of Deputies, could hardly move,, so Corise put me down and escaped by a side-street, arranging to call for me to-night at 10 p.m. and promising an escort of cavaliers, so that we may patrol the Boulevards and take part in popular rejoicings.
