Kett's Rebellion, which began in Wymondham, Norfolk, on 8th July, 1549, was largely in response to the enclosure of land. One of the targets was yeoman Robert Kett, who instead of resisting the rebels agreed to their demands and offered to lead them. Kett and his forces (numbering c.16,000) set up camp on Mousehold Heath to the north-east of Norwich on 12th July. They stormed and took the city on 29th July, and on the 1st August defeated a Royal Army led by the Marquess of Northampton. The rebellion ended on 27th August when the rebels were defeated by an army under the leadership of the Earl of Warwick at the Battle of Dussindale. Kett was captured, held in the Tower of London, tried for treason, and hanged from the walls of Norwich Castle on 7th December 1549. The second part of the work provides extensive historical and topographical notes.

RANGERS F.C. AND MILITARY INTEREST, INVOICE, 26TH JANUARY 1924 To Goods 1923 Nov 10 SUPPLYING BOVRIL & BISCUITS TO WOUNDED SOLDIERS SPECIAL PRICE £-10-Note: This interesting document is believed to relate to a home game played vs. Third Lanark on the 10th November 1923, Rangers entertaining wounded soldiers, supplying Bovril and biscuits (hence the special price). There was in fact an army hospital at Bellahouston, a place Bill Struth had volunteered to serve during WWI (being too old to serve in a front line capacity). It is therefore likely that Struth continued his relationship with the hospital after the war and that Rangers entertained the wounded troops on occasion, making this a very interesting document indeed.

Henry Pierce Bone (British, 1779-1855)The English dramatist and poet Thomas Otway (1652-1685), with long curling brown hair, wearing a draped brown cloak with white shirt and upturned collar. Enamel on copper, signed, dated and inscribed on the counter-enamel, Otway/ London June 1841 Painted by/ Henry Pierce Bone Enamel Painter to Her/ Majesty & H.R.H. Prince Albert the/ Queen Dowager & H.R.H. the Duchess/ of Kent. From the Original by Mary/ Beale. In the Collection of Earl/ Spencer Althorp, rectangular gilt-wood frame. Oval, 146mm (5 3/4in) highProvenance:The Twinight CollectionFootnotes:Thomas Otway wished to become an actor but his stage fright was so severe that he performed badly and decided to never return to the stage. He realised that writing might be a better fit than acting, and he found a muse in the actress Elizabeth Barry. His infatuation with Barry was increasingly one-sided. She flirted with him but was already in a relationship with the Earl of Rochester. This, combined with his poor finances, encouraged Otway to join the army, where he served in the Netherlands. When his regiment was disbanded, Otway had to make his own way back to London, arriving almost penniless in 1679. He continued writing, and produced some of his most famous works in the last few years of his life. The possibly apocryphal story of his death, as told in Lives of the Poets, is that Otway choked on a piece of bread after begging a guinea from a passer-by who recognised him. He was just 33 at the time of his death.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
