Master To Do List (return from Australia edition)

So it's been hard to remember what I'm up to since I've been able to work so infrequently so I thought a To Do list would be super useful.

Introduction:

• Which historians have presented the rebellion of royal sons as inevitable?
• Check historiography of Henry II, William the Conqueror, Edward II, Henry IV (?)
• Which historians have demonstrated the good father/ruler dichotomy? 
• Historiography of Edward I, what about Louis the Pious? 
• Read the William Aird article on Robert Curthose in D M Hadley Masculinity in Medieval Europe (305.310940902 MAS)
• Use it for: 
• example of fatherhood
• Oedipus complex historiography
• Good father/ruler

Masculinity/Historiography:

• Read Josh Tosh's The Pursuit of History 
• add the notes I took from JT's books before I left for history of masculinity studies
• Angela V. John - check her position on masculinity studies
• what has she written?
• Expand on the R. W. Connell section - check notes in Zotero
• Ibid. that of Karras
• Add in the stuff from the EMods Alexandra Shepard
• Research Elizabeth Foyster's work

Kingship Masculinity Historiography

• Rewrite, particularly about the way in which kings are treated in the historiography compared with queens. 
• In the queenship historiography whose work am I aiming for with this about Edward?

Other Masculinities:

• Rewrite the other masculinities section to get rid of the holy men bit as discussed with Pat
• Decide if I think other "masculinities" or "masculinity" on a spectrum 

Edward Historiography

• Add in Ormrod book and Ormrod article about family
• Add in Mortimer book
• Etc

Examples of Fatherhood

Henry II

• Continue shaping the discussion about Henry's sons and so on
• Research Charlemagne's policy regarding sons - Michael's essay? 
• French policy - which French king did it? 

Richard II

• Develop section on comparison between Henry and Richard
• Role as non-father as a factor of his deposition. 
• Chris Given-Wilson article in 1990s about Richard?
• Bibliography of Chronicles of the Revolution?

Edward's Practice of Fatherhood

The Fatherly King

• Add in anecdotal evidence of interaction with the children from Ormrod
• Discuss Edward's grief at the death of his children
• Tombs discussion - William of Hatfield, Blanche and William
• Joan - the letter to Alfonso - develop this into a more sustained discussion
• Was he Father of the Nation in any way? 
• Develop the section about travelling with his children, as Beth Anderson postulated as a measurement of desire to keep them close, into a more complete and synthesised discussion

The Kingly Father

Number of Children

• Revise numbers of children for John of Gaunt, counting the Beauforts as illegitimate, using the ILLs - particularly the Issue of the Kings of England book I copied before coming out. 
• Add in references to the Issue book in the footnotes
• Continue the discussion of the amount of children being important and the table of amounts of children

Military Conquests

• Link the lack of connection between the military conquests and the children's births to Edward's policy on family and honour and so on. 
• Check out the ODNB of Edward of Woodstock (save all the relevant articles to the sources folder for later use) 
• Develop paragraph about Edward allowing/ not allowing Edward of Woodstock to rule - find the differing opinions and synthesise them

Marriages

• Develop the bit about marriages being part of the policy - use the stuff I got just before I went from the Calendar Rolls (?) about betrothals etc.
• Read more of the Rolls for more evidence

Edward and his Dynasty

• Read PC's article Give Me Chastity (saved in Sources) about Edward the Confessor
• Make notes from the Ormrod article 'Monarchy, Martyrdom and Masculinity: England in the Later Middle Ages' in Holiness and Masculinity and add them here

Tombs

• Find somewhere which says that Edward I wanted to be in Westminster Abbey.

Management of Sons/Children

• Develop the section about Edward's policy about the sons' roles - did it work?
• Provide primary evidence that Edward tried to make his sons demi-kings and then add secondary sources
• I'm repeating the stuff about Edward of Woodstock and Aquitaine here - should they be combined here? Elsewhere?
• Balance the opinions on Edward and Edward and Aquitaine - did he let him have control?
• Be more clear about the timeline of events regarding the births of his children and potential heirs. When would he have felt secure? Link to Black Death problems - is it repetitive?
