The Elizabethan and Jacobean Chapel Royal was central to both the devotional life of the English court and to the political direction of the English Church. The services, rituals, and sermons of the Chapel Royal provided a valuable stage from which a potent Reformed royal supremacy could be articulated. Despite this, no detailed study has yet been made of the Chapel Royal. Though recent research into royal sermons has been invaluable, it has remained largely divorced from the liturgical and political context of the Chapel Royal. My DPhil research will thus emphasise the Chapel Royal as a crucial component in the Elizabethan and Jacobean articulation of spiritual and temporal authority over court, church, and nation. This project has developed from research conducted on the Elizabethan Chapel Royal in my undergraduate and masters' theses. This research, though limited to considerations of the structure of the Chapel in a general context, and the individual political lives of its members, acted as a primer for this broader and more detailed proposed study of the Chapel Royal between Elizabeth and James's 4 reigns. My DPhil project will build on these foundations to track the liturgical and political continuity of the Chapel Royal between 1558 and 1625. This will allow for a fresh courtly perspective on historiographical debates over the formative years of the Church of England, such as the Elizabethan Religious 'Settlement', and the Jacobean balancing of proto-Laudianism and Calvinism both at court and on progress. The political and ecclesiastical nature of the Chapel Royal between 1558 and 1625 will be traced through its institutional structure, liturgy and ritual, music, and sermons. By an interdisciplinary assessment of these four components, both the political and courtly nature of the Chapel Royal and the personal predilections of both Elizabeth and James will be explored. By a comparison of Tudor and Stuart regimes, the boundaries of 'Elizabethan' and 'Jacobean' will be broached to illustrate the development of Elizabeth's 'Henrician' Protestantism, and James's Presbyterian-influenced Calvinism. This will shed fresh light on the key tensions between monarch, nobility, and church in the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth-centuries.Existing studies have largely limited themselves to the consideration of three sources relating to the Elizabethan and Jacobean Chapel Royal: the 'Old Cheque Book'; its copied version 'Bodleian MS Rawl D 138'; and la Fontaine's transcription of the 'King's Musick' held in the Bodleian Library. Though musicologists John Harley and Andrew Ashbee have provided a sense of the Chapel structure and some biographical information of its members, the political nature of chapel documents is frequently neglected. The under-assessed Chapel oath of supremacy and accounts of decanal authority and discipline point to conflict and coalition in Chapel administration between the influence of the monarch, Lord Chamberlain, and individual courtiers. These currents are not limited to the internal politics of the Chapel but are intimately related to the ecclesiastical and political tensions of the Church of England. The ritualism of the Elizabethan and Jacobean liturgy will also be explored, extending the research of Fiona Kisby into the Henrician Chapel Royal to explore the expression of monarchical power in Reformed ritual. This will be explored through sources including the Calendar of State Papers, court diaries, and inventories of liturgical items in the Jewel House and at court. By an investigation of these sources to provide a clearer picture of Chapel services, Diarmaid MacCulloch and others' figuration of the Chapel Royal as uniquely conservative in Reformation England will be complicated and extended to interrogate the precise nature of this 'conservatism', and its importance in the tensions of the English court and church. Given the gulf between musicological and historical studies, my research

伊丽莎白和雅各布皇室礼拜堂是英国宫廷虔诚生活和英国教会政治方向的核心。皇家礼拜堂的仪式、仪式和布道提供了一个宝贵的舞台，从这个舞台上可以清楚地表达出强大的改革后的王室至上地位。尽管如此，关于皇家礼拜堂的详细研究还没有进行。尽管最近对皇家布道的研究非常有价值，但它在很大程度上仍然脱离了皇家礼拜堂的礼仪和政治背景。因此，我的DPhil研究将强调皇家礼拜堂是伊丽莎白时代和雅各比时代精神和世俗权威对宫廷、教会和国家的重要组成部分。这个项目是在我的本科和硕士论文中对伊丽莎白时代的皇家礼拜堂进行的研究基础上发展起来的。这项研究虽然局限于对礼拜堂一般背景下的结构及其成员的个人政治生活的考虑，但作为这项关于伊丽莎白和詹姆斯统治期间的皇家礼拜堂的更广泛和更详细的拟议研究的初级读物。我的DPhil项目将建立在这些基础上，以追踪皇家礼拜堂在1558年至1625年之间的礼仪和政治连续性。这将允许一个新的宫廷视角来看待关于英格兰教会形成时期的史学辩论，例如伊丽莎白时代的宗教“定居”，以及雅各布人在宫廷和进步上对原始伦迪亚主义和加尔文主义的平衡。皇家礼拜堂在1558年至1625年之间的政治和教会性质将通过其制度结构、礼拜仪式和仪式、音乐和布道来追溯。通过对这四个部分的跨学科评估，皇家礼拜堂的政治和宫廷性质以及伊丽莎白和詹姆斯的个人偏好都将得到探索。通过对都铎王朝和斯图亚特王朝的比较，将提出伊丽莎白王朝和雅各布王朝的界限，以说明伊丽莎白的亨利斯主义新教和詹姆斯的长老会影响的加尔文主义的发展。这将为16世纪末和17世纪初君主、贵族和教会之间的关键紧张关系提供新的线索。现存的研究主要局限于三个与伊丽莎白和雅各布比教堂皇家教堂有关的来源的考虑：《旧支票簿》、其复制版本《Bodleian MS Rawl D138》和拉方丹对Bodleian图书馆收藏的《King‘s Musick》的抄本。尽管音乐学家约翰·哈雷和安德鲁·阿什比提供了教堂结构的感觉和一些成员的传记信息，但教堂文件的政治性经常被忽视。被低估的礼拜堂至高无上的誓言以及对十年制权威和纪律的描述表明，在礼拜堂管理中，君主、张伯伦勋爵和个人朝臣之间的影响之间存在冲突和联盟。这些潮流不仅限于教堂的内部政治，而且与英国国教的教会和政治紧张关系密切。还将探讨伊丽莎白和雅各布时期的礼仪制度，将菲奥娜·基斯比的研究延伸到亨利西亚皇家礼拜堂，探索君主权力在宗教改革仪式中的表达。这将通过包括国家文件日历、法庭日记和珠宝屋和宫廷礼仪物品清单在内的来源进行探索。通过对这些来源的调查，以提供关于教堂礼拜的更清晰的图景，Diarmaid MacCulloch和其他人将皇家教堂描绘成英国宗教改革中唯一的保守派，这将是复杂的，并扩展到询问这种“保守主义”的确切性质，以及它在英国宫廷和教会紧张局势中的重要性。鉴于音乐学和历史学研究之间的鸿沟，我的研究
