	Thomas Rymer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Rymer ( 1641 - December 14, 1713), English historiographer royal, was the younger son of Ralph Rymer, lord of the manor of Brafferton in Yorkshire, described by Clarendon as possessed of a good estate, and executed for his share in the Presbyterian rising of 1663.
		Thomas was probably born at Yafforth Hall early in 1641, and was educated at a private school kept at Danby-Wiske by Thomas Smelt, a noted Royalist, with whom Rymer was a great favorite, and well known for his great critical skill in human learning, especially in poetryand history.
		On the death of Thomas Shadwell in 1692 Rymer received the appointment of historiographer royal, at a yearly salary of Â£200.

	Mary and her suitors
		Besides the members of reigning houses who were offered or spoken of after the usual fashion of projected royal alliances, her steps were infested by audacious and demonstrative adorers, who had no claims to such a destiny.
		Whether the passive influence of her wonderful wit and beauty rendered this phenomenon inevitable, or it might be in any measure promoted by some little touches of seductive fascination in her manner, is a question which students of her history will in general decide for themselves.
		It is difficult to mark the limits within which at that period a royal personage at any of the French or Italian Courts might legitimately flatter and encourage a person of good birth, endowed with the literary accomplishments of the troubadour.

		Here he was still supposed to study law but devoted himself in part to literary essays and in part to storing up his immense treasure of gossiping history.
		It was not till the summer of 1734 that Cirey, a half-dismantled country house on the borders of Champagne, France and Lorraine, was fitted up with Voltaire's money and became the headquarters of himself, of his hostess, and now and then of her accommodating husband.
		The ecossaise is a variety of contredance in Scotch style, especially popular in France and England at the end of the 18th century and in the beginning of the 19th.

		Prior to this time, at the beginning of 1713, the Royal Society in London had issued a report, the Commercium epistolicum, rendering a decision on the priority dispute between Newton and Leibniz concerning the invention of the calculus—a dispute that had been simmering for some years.
		Consequently, Leibniz explained that king Georg I. should appoint him historiographer of England to demonstrate that Leibniz was esteemed as much as Newton, who was then Minister of the Mint, and thus to restore the honor of Hanover and Germany.
		If Your Royal Highness knew with what incivility his followers have attacked me, of which he was not unaware, she would have praised my moderation.

		Among the many offices dedicated to political art and propaganda was the historiographer royal, whose general task it was to record and write history at the behest of the king or the state.
		The general purpose of this article is to inquire into the conception and dissemination of official historiography in Sweden during the Age of Liberty, a period of early parliamentary rule that was initiated by the fall of absolutism in 1718 and terminated by a monarchical coup in 1772.
		After 1720, all appointments to the post were phrased not as historiographus regius, that is historiographer to the king, as had been the case during the previous era, but as historiographus regni, historiographer of the realm.

		This enabled them to keep high court, and strengthen their rule over the vast Highland territory to the north and west ; for over all the district now beyond the Caledonian Canal and the lakes it unites, the "Cock of the North" was supreme in one shape or other.
		To have gone without a sufficient force, would have been a folly of which Murray was not likely to be guilty; and Huntly felt by no means satisfied with the form in which his sovereign approached him.
		This was all the more audacious an act, that the castle was not a strength attached to Huntly's own dominions; it was nominally a royal castle, Huntly holding it as hereditary sheriff of the district.

	Guardian \| Reading between laureates' lines
		Some medieval minstrel poets accompanied their patron's army into battle, which is one way of satisfying critics that the emoluments have been earned, while later poets such as Chaucer and Spenser received royal pensions because of their celebrity but had no formal attachment to the court.
		The "modern" laureateship began with Ben Jonson in 1616; he received a pension from James I and many of his masques were written for performance at court.
		Southey and Wordsworth restored some honour to the position, though by the time the latter was appointed he had virtually stopped writing poetry and made it a condition of accepting the post that he would not be expected to produce "loyal odes".
