The actual settlement of the Province of Maryland in 1634 was undertaken by Leonard Calvert, Lord Baltimore's second son, and the group of 200 adventurers who accompanied him on the Ark and the Dove. In addition to a succinct history of the Calvert family and the area in which they flourished in England, this work describes the life and times of the 200 passengers, their part in the founding and settlement of the colony, and the development of the feudal manorial system.In addition to a succinct history of the Calvert family and the milieu in which they flourished in England, The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate describes the lives and times of the 200 adventurers who participated in the original expedition ot Maryland, their part in the founding and settlement of the colony, and the development of colonial Maryland's distinctive manorial system.The bulk of this volume, of course, consists of biographical and genealogical sketches of the 200 adventurers, each developed in meticulous detail from surviving documents by the famous Maryland genealogist, Harry Wright Newman.

"Grace of St. Mary's County" reveals some little-known factual events and important occurrences in the lives of the English Catholics from County Durham, England. As the beheading of King Charles, I, approached, a number of parents sent their precious children to the land given them by the King, in Maryland, in order to protect them from the Protestants' vengeance against the Catholics. Purchasing two sailing ships, to transport them, they hired two captains with their crews. They then assigned two young priests, to accompany, and watch over the children in the New World. With long and arduous work, they established St. Mary's County, in Maryland. The ten-year-old son of the Duke of Stobilee, whose incredible intellect and sensitivity, led these fi fty-six children, in part, to help create the fi rst viable English speaking Catholic colony in North America.
