	Bentley & Spens - English hand printed fabrics
		From their signature range of cherubic and tartan motifs the fabrics of Bentley and Spens have become ever more exotic; reaching beyond the boudoir, and the castle walls, to the jungle, and the orient.
		Bentley and Spens’ ideas are new, but the feelings, these richly decorated fabrics inspire, have been around for a thousand years.
		Bentley and Spens’ fabrics - at fabenglish.com - have been archived by the Victoria and Albert Museum, in London, United Kingdom, as part of its History of Textile Design.

	Memoirs and portraits of 100 Glasgow men: 84. William Spens [ebook chapter] / James MacLehose, 1886
		Nathaniel Spens, towards the end of last century, purchased the estate of Craigsanquhar, in the same county, and at one time a portion of the old family property, and it, with considerable additions, is still in possession of his descendants.
		Spens' management, it may be noted that when he became manager in 1839 the funds only amounted to £85,284, and when he died they had reached the large sum of £1,248,000.
		Spens' death in 1868 the funds of the Scottish Amicable office have grown to £2,600,000, and the annual income has increased to £315,000, and this may serve generally as an illustration of the increase which has gone on in the funds and income of the great assurance companies in the kingdom.

		LORD SPENS yesterday launched a blistering attack on the Government, the Bank of England, the Legal Aid Board and the Lord Chancellor, Derry Irvine, after being forced to drop a High Court case on the eve of the trial.

	Privateering History: (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Sir Patrick Spens is one of the most popular of the Child Ballads (No. 58), and is primarily of Scottish origin.
		The events of the ballad are similar to, and may chronicle, an actual event: the bringing home of the Scottish princess The Maid of Norway across the North Sea in 1290 (though there is speculation that it may relate to a voyage by the princess's mother in 1281).
		Nearly all versions, whether they have the wreck on the outward voyage or the return, relate the bad omen of seeing "the new moon late yestreen, with the auld moon in her arms." The winter storms have the best of the great sailor, sending him and the Scottish lords to the bottom of the sea.

	Welcome to The Norton Anthology Of Poetry
		"Sir Patrick Spens," first printed in 1765, tells a story that may be based on two voyages of thirteenth-century Scots noblemen to conduct their princesses to royal marriages.
		Margaret, daughter of Alexander III, was married to Eric of Norway in 1281, and many members of her escort were drowned on the voyage home.
		Revision still occurs, however, but it is a kind of collective revision, as a ballad is taken up by various performers and often changed- perhaps to meet the expectations of differing audiences, perhaps simply to make better sense to the individual performer.
