This edition publishes the Hotham family's correspondence and
papers during the civil wars, bringing together for the first time
material from the University of Hull Archives, the British and
Bodleian Libraries and the National Archives. It comprises the
papers of Sir John Hotham, parliamentarian governor of Hull, and
his eldest son and deputy governor Lieutenant-General John Hotham.
Their correspondents include the Fairfaxes, Hampden, Lenthall, Pym,
Saye and the Earl of Newcastle. The volume demonstrates Hull's
critical military significance, where the Hothams' pre-war defiance
of Charles I rendered them figures of national consequence. It
provides important evidence for attitudes to honour, the civil war
in the north and the internal politics of parliament's cause. It
also sheds new light on Sir John Hotham's trial for conspiring to
betray Hull. Ultimately, it demonstrates the dilemma of allegiance
encountered by a gentry family whose concerns for personal status
and reputation consumed them.
