'More divine than human': the ritual life of the English Chapel Royal, 1558-1625

这座以撒和红豆小教堂皇家是英国宫廷虔诚生活和英国教会政治方向的中心。皇家礼拜堂的服务、仪式和布道提供了一个宝贵的舞台，从这个舞台上，改革宗皇家的至高无上地位可以得到有力的表达。尽管如此，没有详细的研究尚未作出的教堂皇家。虽然最近对皇家布道的研究是无价的，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，我的哲学博士研究将强调，皇家教堂是以撒和以实玛利对宫廷、教会和国家的精神和世俗权威的重要组成部分。这个项目是从我的本科和硕士论文中对君士坦丁堡皇家教堂的研究发展而来的。这项研究，虽然仅限于在一般情况下的教堂的结构，其成员的个人政治生活的考虑，作为一个初级为这个更广泛和更详细的拟议研究的教堂之间的伊丽莎白和詹姆斯的4个统治皇家。我的哲学博士项目将建立在这些基础上，以跟踪1558年至1625年之间的教堂皇家的礼仪和政治连续性。这将允许一个新的宫廷角度对历史编纂辩论的形成年的英国教会，如君士坦丁堡宗教的“定居点”，以及平衡的原始劳德主义和加尔文主义都在法院和进步。1558年至1625年之间的皇家礼拜堂的政治和教会性质将通过其机构结构，礼拜仪式和仪式，音乐和布道来追踪。通过对这四个组成部分的跨学科评估，我们将探讨皇家教堂的政治和宫廷性质以及伊丽莎白和詹姆斯的个人偏好。通过对都铎王朝和斯图亚特王朝的比较，我们将探讨“亨利四世”和“波旁王朝”的界限，以说明伊丽莎白的“亨利四世”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、贵族和教会之间的紧张关系提供新的线索。现有的研究主要局限于对三个与路易十四和路易十四王室皇家教堂有关的资料的考虑：“旧支票簿”;以及拉方丹的“国王的音乐”的转录在博德利图书馆举行。虽然音乐学家约翰哈雷和安德鲁阿什比提供了一个教堂结构的感觉和一些传记信息的成员，教堂文件的政治性质往往被忽视。被低估的教堂会至高无上的誓言和对教长权威和纪律的描述表明，在教堂会的管理中，君主、张伯伦勋爵和个别廷臣的影响力之间存在冲突和联盟。这些潮流不仅限于教堂的内部政治，而且与英国教会的教会和政治紧张局势密切相关。也将探讨的埃西坦和伊豆礼仪的仪式主义，扩展到亨利西亚教堂皇家的菲奥娜基斯比的研究，探索在改革宗仪式君主权力的表达。这将通过包括国家文件日历，法院日记，以及珠宝屋和法院的礼拜仪式物品清单等来源进行探索。通过对这些资料的调查，可以更清楚地了解教堂的服务，Diarmaid MacCulloch和其他人将教堂皇家塑造为宗教改革时期英国唯一的保守派，这将是复杂的，并扩展到质疑这种“保守主义”的确切性质，以及它在英国法院和教会的紧张局势中的重要性。鉴于音乐学和历史研究之间的鸿沟，我的研究

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
