# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Wulford, Ralph

​WULFORD or WILFORD, RALPH (1479?–1499), pretender, born about 1479, is described in ‘Fabyan's Chronicle’ as son of a cordwainer in London, and he was not improbably a member of the London and Kent family of Wilford [cf. art. Wilford, Sir James]. He resembles Lambert Simnel [q. v.] in the obscurity of his origin, and, like Simnel, he was one of the tools used by the Yorkists in their endeavours to overthrow Henry VII. Like Simnel, too, he was made to personate the Earl of Warwick, eldest son of Edward IV's brother, the Duke of Clarence [see Edward, 1475–1499], though, according to Fabyan, Wilford only ‘avaunced himself to be the son or heir to the Earl of Warwick's lands’ (Chronicle, p. 686)—an absurd statement in view of the fact that Warwick was not more than four years older than Wulford. Wulford was educated for the part by one Patrick, an Austin friar, and in 1498 rumours were spread abroad that that year was likely to be one of great danger for Henry VII (Cal. State Papers, Spanish, i. 206). Wulford began to confide to various persons in Kent—the scene of Warbeck's early attempts—that he was the real Earl of Warwick. Henry VII had, however, learnt to be prompt in dealing with pretenders, and before the conspirators could take definite action both Wulford and his preceptor were arrested. Wulford was executed on Shrove Tuesday, 22 Feb. 1498–9, and Patrick was imprisoned for life.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Wulfhelm

​WULFHELM (d. 942), archbishop of Canterbury, succeeded Athelm [q. v.] as bishop of Wells, when Athelm was promoted to Canterbury in 914, and on the death of Athelm in 923 succeeded him in the primacy. He crowned Athelstan at Kingston in 924, and in or about 927 went to Rome for his pall. In the laws published at Greetanlea, or Grately, in Hampshire, Athelstan speaks of having had the counsel of Wulfhelm. His name is among those enrolled at Bishop Cynewold's request among the confraternity of St. Gall in 928. Adelard, a biographer of St. Dunstan, in saying that Dunstan stayed some time with Athelm, who was his uncle, and was introduced by him to Athelstan, probably confuses Athelm with Wulfhelm, for Athelm died before Dunstan's birth. Some extant verses, addressed to Wulfhelm, are believed to have been written by Dunstan. Wulfhelm died on 12 Feb. 942.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Wrottesley, Walter

​WROTTESLEY, Sir WALTER (d. 1473), captain of Calais, was eldest son of Hugh Wrottesley (d. 1464) and his wife Thomasine, daughter of Sir John Gresley of Drakelaw. The family, whose name seems originally to have been Verdon, had been settled at Wrottesley in Staffordshire for many centuries, the first to adopt the name Wrottesley being William de Verdon, who succeeded to the manor in 1199, and died in 1242 (see the elaborate history of the family in the course of publication in the Genealogist, vols. xv. xvi. et seq.). Walter was a firm adherent of Warwick ‘the king-maker,’ and on 7 Nov. 1460 he was appointed sheriff of Staffordshire. Apparently he held the office for the usual term, undisturbed by the varying fortunes of the party. On 26 Jan. 1461–2 he is styled a ‘king's knight,’ and was granted the manors of Ramsham and Penpole, Dorset, formerly belonging to William Neville, earl of Kent. Grants of the manors of Clynte, Hondesworth, and Mere in Staffordshire, formerly belonging to the Lancastrian James Butler, earl of Wiltshire [q. v.], soon followed, and on 14 June 1463 Wrottesley was one of those to whom Warwick was allowed to alienate manors and castles, although their reversion might belong to the crown. Wrottesley joined Warwick in his attempt to overthrow the Woodvilles, and when in 1471 the king-maker restored Henry VI, Wrottesley was put in command of Calais, a stronghold of the Nevilles. After Warwick's defeat and death at Barnet on 14 April, Wrottesley surrendered Calais to Edward IV on condition of a free pardon. He died in 1473, and is said to have been buried in Greyfriars Church, London. By his wife Jane, daughter of William Baron of Reading, he left two sons—Richard, who succeeded him, and was sheriff of Staffordshire in 1492–3; and William—and three daughters. His descendant, Sir Walter Wrottesley (d. 1659), was created a baronet on 30 Aug. 1642, and the seventh baronet, Sir Richard Wrottesley (d. 1769), dean of Worcester, was grandfather of John, first baron ​Wrottesley [see Wrottesley, John, second Baron].

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Wulfric

​WULFRIC, called Spot or Sprot (d. 1010), founder of Burton Abbey, was son of Leofwine, probably a thegn of Ethelred II, and himself signs charters as ‘minister’ or thegn. The assumption that his father was Leofwine, earl of Mercia, and father of Leofric [q. v.], is uncorroborated by any satisfactory evidence, and the name Leofwine was extremely common. Wulfric himself is sometimes, but probably erroneously, styled ealdorman, and Palgrave's suggestion that he was ealdorman of Lancaster is based on several misconceptions (Freeman, Norman Conquest, i. 671–2). Wulfric owned lands in many parts of England, but chiefly in West Mercia. He was killed on 18 May 1010 fighting against the Danes at the battle of Ringmere, near Ipswich. He was buried in the cloisters of Burton Abbey, where also was buried his wife Ealhswith, who seems to have predeceased him, leaving issue one daughter. The remains of an alabaster statue of Wulfric, which is believed to have replaced an earlier one, still exist at Burton Abbey.
Wulfric made his will in 1002, giving a large portion of his property for the foundation of a Benedictine abbey at Burton-on-Trent. The endowment ‘is said to have been valued even at that time at seven hundred pounds’ (Dugdale, Monasticon, iii. 33). Ethelred II's charter of confirmation is dated 1004, and to obtain it Wulfric paid the king two hundred marks of gold, each archbishop ten, and each bishop five marks. Wulfric's will is printed in Kemble's ‘Codex Diplomaticus’ (vi. 147–50), in Thorpe's ‘Codex’ (pp. 543 seq.), and in Dugdale's ‘Monasticon’ (ed. Caley, Ellis, and Bandinel, iii. 36–40). A sixteenth-century transcript is in British Museum Stowe MS. 780, ff. 1–3. The original charter of Burton Abbey belongs to the Marquis of Anglesey.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Wulfstan (d.1023)

​WULFSTAN (d. 1023), archbishop of York, a man of good family, whose sister's son was Brihtheah (d. 1038), bishop of Worcester, is said to have been brought into the world by an operation that cost his mother's life. He was a monk, probably of Ely, and an abbot, succeeded Aldulf [q. v.] or Ealdulf as archbishop of York in 1003, and, like his two predecessors, held the see of Worcester along with the archbishopric. His name occurs as present at various councils and royal acts during the reign of Ethelred the Unready, and specially as advising the king at the undated council held at Enham (Wilkins, Concilia, i. 285). Canute held him in esteem, and, the see of Canterbury probably being vacant at the time, caused him to dedicate his church at Achingdon in Essex in 1026. He died at York on 28 May 1023, and was buried according to his request at Ely, of which monastery he was a benefactor. When the new choir of Ely was built in 1106 his body was removed into it. The pastoral epistle and the epistle ‘Quando dividis Chrisma’ of Abbot Ælfric (fl. 1006) [q. v.] were written for Wulfstan and probably for the use of other bishops also (Thorpe, Ancient Laws, ii. 365–93). Wulfstan's homilies, written before 1000, have been ascribed to the archbishop, but not apparently for any convincing reason, as there is nothing to show that their author was in episcopal orders, though manuscript editions bear dates later than 1003; they have for the first time been printed by Professor Napier in ‘Sammlung englischer Denkmäler’ (Bd. 4, 1880); the most famous of them, however, ‘Lupi Sermo ad Anglos,’ had previously been printed with a translation by George Hickes [q. v.] in his ‘Thesaurus.’ Archbishop Wulfstan must not be confused (as in Freeman, Norman Conquest, i. 342) with Wulfstan, bishop of London, who was consecrated in 996.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Wulfstan of Winchester

​WULFSTAN of Winchester (fl. 1000), versifier, was a monk of St. Swithun's, Winchester. He was a pupil of Bishop Ethelwold [q. v.], and became priest and precentor (Birch, New Minster, p. 25). Leland records that he had a fine voice (Scriptt. Brit. p. 164), and ascribes to him a versification of Lanferth's work on the life and miracles of St. Swithun (Collect. i. 151–156), from which he quotes largely. The work follows on Lanferth's in the Royal MS. 15 C. vii., the whole being written in an early eleventh-century hand. It is in all likelihood the Sherborne manuscript which Leland used. The work opens with a letter in hexameters addressed to Ælfheah [q. v.], then bishop of Winchester, wherein the writer describes Ælfheah's buildings at Winchester, and in particular the organ which he made. This letter is printed in Migne's ‘Patrologia,’ cxxxvii. col. 107, ‘Acta SS.’ Aug. i. 98, and Mabillon's ‘Acta SS.’ v. 628. There follows another verse-letter addressed to the monks of Winchester, printed in Mabillon, v. 634, with two books of the ‘Miracles of St. Swithun,’ each containing twenty-two chapters in hexameters. These two books have not been printed.
Wulfstan also wrote a life of St. Ethelwold, apparently written in verse, the style ​of which William of Malmesbury condemns as mediocre (Gesta Regum, i. 167; cf. Gesta Pontiff. p. 406). A prose life, without author's name, has been printed as Wulfstan's by Mabillon (‘Acta SS.’ v. 606), and by the Bollandists (‘Acta SS.’ Aug. vol. i.) and Migne (‘Patrologia,’ cxxxvii. col. 81), but it is so closely similar to that which is undoubtedly Ælfric's (printed in the Chronicon Abbendoniæ, ii. 255) that it is probably another version of that work. It is somewhat longer than Ælfric's, the style is as good as Ælfric's, and the mention of Wulfstan, the precentor, by name, is further against the idea of his authorship.
William of Malmesbury ascribes to Wulfstan a further work, ‘De tonorum harmonia’ (Gesta Regum, i. 167), which appears to be lost.

United States Supreme Court
362 U.S. 402
Dusky v. United States
The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted. Upon consideration of the entire record we agree with the Solicitor General that 'the record in this case does not sufficiently support the findings of competency to stand trial,' for to support those findings under 18 U.S.C. § 4244, 18 U.S.C.A. § 4244 the district judge 'would need more information than this record presents.' We also agree with the suggestion of the Solicitor General that it is not enough for the district judge to find that 'the defendant (is) oriented to time and place and (has) some recollection of events,' but that the 'test must be whether he has sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding-and whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him.' In view of the doubts and ambiguities regarding the legal significance of the psychiatric testimony in this case and the resulting difficulties of retrospectively determining the petitioner's competency as of more than a year ago, we reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming the judgment of conviction, and remand the case to the District Court for a new hearing to ascertain petitioner's present competency to stand trial, and for a new trial if petitioner is found competent. It is so ordered.
Reversed and remanded with directions.

# Dog's Day Ended

published in: Harper's New Monthly Magazine: Volume 30, Issue 179. April 1865.
I AM only a dog, and I've had my day; So, idle and dreaming, stretched out I lay In the welcome warmth of the summer sun, A poor old hunter whose work is done.
Dream? Yes, indeed; though I am but a dog, Don't I dream of the partridge I sprung by the log, Of the quivering hare and her desperate flight, Of the nimble gray squirrel secure in his height,
Far away in the top of the hickory-tree, Looking down safe and saucy at Matthew and me, Till the hand true and steady a messanger shot, And the creature up-bounded, and fell, and was not?
Old Matthew was king of the wood-rangers then; And the quails in the stubble, the ducks in the fen, The hare on the common, the birds on the bough, Were afraid. They are safe enough now,
For all we can harm them, old master and I. We have had our last hunt, the game must go by, While Matthew sits fashioning bows in the door For a living. We never hunt more.
For time, cold, and hardship have stiffened his knee; And since little Lottie died, often I see His hands tremble sorely, and go to his eyes For the lost baby-daughter so pretty and wise.
Oh! it's sad to be old, and to see the blue sky Look farther away to the dim fading eye; To feel the fleet foot growing weary and sore That in forest and hamlet shall lag evermore.
I am going—I hear the great wolf on my track; Already around me his shadow falls black. One hunting cry more! Oh, master! come nigh, And lay the white paw in your own as I die.
Oh come to me, master! the last hedge is passed; Our tramps in the wild wood are over at last; Stoop lower, and lay down my head on your knee. What! tears for a useless old hunter like me?
You will see little Lottie again by-and-by. I sh'n't. They don't have any dogs in the sky. Tell her, loving and trusty beside you I died, And—bury me, master, not far from her side;
For we loved little Lottie so well, you and I. Ha, master! the shadow! fire low! it is nigh! There was never a sound in the still morning heard, But the heart of the hunter his old jacket stirred,
As he flung himself down on the brute's shaggy coat, And watched the faint life in its quivering throat Till it stopped quite at last. The black wolf had won, And the death-hunted hound into cover and run.
But long ere the snow over graves fell Old Matthew was resting from labor as well; While the cottage stood empty, yet back from the hill The voice of the hound in the morn echoes still.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Æther

Edition of 1802.
​ÆTHER, a term formerly used to signify a thin subtle matter, finer than air, and completely filling the whole space of the firmament.
Various opinions have been held respecting its precise nature: by some it is supposed to be a fluid of a peculiar kind, and confined to the regions above our atmosphere; by others, a substance so subtle and ​penetrating, as to be intimately diffused through the air, and to insinuate itself into the pores of all other bodies. Its existence, however, has been denied by many, who assert that the air, by its tenuity and expansion, is fully sufficient for the above-mentioned purposes.
Whatever conjectures may be formed concerning the nature and properties of this subtle fluid, there is every reason to believe in the existence of a matter finer than the air itself. Sir Isaac Newton has observed, that heat is readily communicated through a vacuum, which cannot take place without the intervention of some other medium. This, being subtle enough to penetrate even through the pores of glass, may readily be conceived to be capable of pervading all other bodies, and diffusing itself through every part of space: and thus it conveys a complete idea of an æthereal fluid.
Æther is now principally considered as a chemical composition. It is a combination of vitriolic acid and spirits of wine, and is used for a variety of medical purposes. The head-ach is said to have been often cured by rubbing it on the temples; and Dr. Conyers declares, that a tea-spoon full applied to the affected jaw, and repeated till the pain ceases, is a never-failing remedy for the tooh-ach. It has also been used in cases of rheumatism, gout, and hooping-cough, with great success. In a paroxysm of suffocative asthma, and all those diseases where the organs of respiration are affected, half a tea-spoon full of vitriolic æther in a table-spoon full of water, quickly swallowed and occasionally repeated, has often produced instant relief. Even the simple evaporation of this volatile fluid, a spoonful of which may be placed at a time in a shallow vessel contiguous to the part, has frequently been found of great service, and alleviated the most distressing shortness of breath.
A combination of spirit of sea-salt with the flowers of zinc, produces the marine æther.
