Encyclopedia > David Carpenter

David Carpenter is a leading authority on the history of Britain in the central middle ages. He was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford. He is a particular exponent of 'thickened political narrative,' which he deployed in The Minority of Henry III (1990), a book which traced the complex political history of the years 1216 to 1227 out of which a new monarchy, limited by Magna Carta, emerged. He has also fixed the true date of Magna Carta in 1215, revealed the causes of the great political revolution in 1258 and shown how peasants were fully engaged in the subsequent period of reform and rebellion. He has also argued that feudalism was fundamental to the workings of English society and politics in the century after 1166, and has cast new light on the place of both the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey in England's polity.

David Carpenter and Catherine May of Ashe Co, NC and Monroe Co, IN (1261 words)
David Carpenter was born 30 Dec 1793 in Wilkes County, NC (now Ashe County, NC).
David is a son of Mathias and Elizabeth Miller Carpenter.
In the 1830's, David's nephew David Carpenter (son of Jacob) moved to Rich Hill Creek in Ashe County, and therefore I'm not totally sure which records for "David Carpenter" in the 1830's are for David Sr and which are for David Jr.

David, it was said, was a quiet, hard  working young man.  In 1840, David and Elizabeth's  first child was born, a daughter, Elizabeth.  As time went by, they had six sons and then their youngest child was born, another daughter, Viola.
  David  was a successful farmer and provided his family with all the necessities and all additional items that a middle class farmer  was able to, at that time.  The sons grew and as years went by, David became known to the community as "Hote" or "Uncle Hote".
Carpenter's mind and character, over time he became a man of irritable temper.  One day in April of 1863 while walking  past a neighbor's house, David became envolved in an argument with Timothy S. Gregory.  He shot Timothy with his pistol, grazing his cheek.
