British military historian (1860–1946)
Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman , KBE , FBA (12 January 1860 – 23 June 1946) was a British military historian . His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering.
Early life
[ edit ]
Oman was born in Muzaffarpur district , India ,[1] the son of a British planter, and was educated at Winchester College and at the University of Oxford , where he studied under William Stubbs . Here, he was invited to become a founding member of the Stubbs Society , which was under Stubbs's patronage.
Career
[ edit ]
In 1881 he was elected to a Prize Fellowship at All Souls College , where he remained for the rest of his academic career. He was elected the Chichele Professor of Modern History at Oxford in 1905, in succession to Montagu Burrows . He was also elected to the FBA that year, and served as president of the Royal Historical Society (1917–1921), the Numismatic Society and the Royal Archaeological Institute .
Among his teaching activities at Oxford, he taught the special subject in military history with C. T. Atkinson of Exeter College that focused on the Peninsular War .
Oman's academic career was interrupted by the First World War , during which he was employed by the government's Press Bureau and the Foreign Office .
Oman was the Conservative Member of Parliament for the University of Oxford constituency from 1919 to 1935, and was knighted KBE in the 1920 civilian war honours list .[2]
The parody history book 1066 and All That , published in 1930, includes the dedication "Absit Oman ", a distortion of the Latin phrase "Absit omen". It can be translated as "may Oman be absent", reflecting the prominence of Oman among English historians at the time.
Honours
[ edit ]
He became an honorary fellow of New College in 1936, and received the honorary degrees of DCL (Oxford, 1926) and LL.D (Edinburgh , 1911 and Cambridge , 1927). He was awarded the Medal of the Royal Numismatic Society in 1928.[3] He died at Oxford aged 86.
Children
[ edit ]
Two of Oman's children became authors. His daughter Carola Oman CBE was a writer of history, biography, and fiction for adults and children, including a retelling of the Robin Hood legend and biographies of Admiral Lord Nelson and Lieutenant-General Sir John Moore . His son Charles C. Oman wrote several volumes on British silverware and similar houseware, worked as a Keeper of the Department of Metalwork in the Victoria and Albert Museum ,[4] and was active in the Folklore Society [5] (and was in turn father to Julia Trevelyan Oman ).
