Car qu’on se garde de penser – comme l’affirment les mauvaises langues – que nous ayons quelque chose contre Saint Willibrord. Bien au contraire ! Mais il nous paraît plus respectueux d’un saint de l’apprécier pour tout le bien qu’il a réellement accompli que de l’inquiéter en le louant pour le bien qu’il n’a pas fait et n’a pas pu faire. Ces douteuses louanges, on en a accablé Willibrord (et divers collègues en sainteté qui ont essentiellement christianisé avec lui le nord de la France). Le présent ouvrage prouve ce douteux hommage et étudie selon quel processus il a pu avoir lieu. Il le fait à partir de 270 textes authentiques, en gardant donc, pour ainsi dire, la main au pouls. Il s’inscrit dans une étude vaste et fouillée qui recherche d’une part comment les événements qui ont affecté le nord-ouest du continent européen au cours du premier millénaire se sont déroulés d’après les sources contemporaines et ce que d’autre part les historiens en ont fait au cours du second millénaire : le fossé qui sépare la réalité des faits des élucubrations des historiens bée en effet de l’arrivée des Romains au X e siècle. Anticipant la publication ultérieure des résultats de toute cette recherche, à l’occasion de cette commémoration du Saint, nous avons retravaillé le « chapitre » consacré à Willibrord afin de faire apparaître la problématique de l’historiographie du territoire et de la période concernés ; l’ouvrage fournira donc aussi la méthode susceptible de découvrir et d’établir l’histoire véritable : la géographie historique. Des doutes sérieux sur la reconstruction historique courante de l’histoire (pré)nationale néerlandaise ont surgi dès le départ pour être coup sur coup refoulés, ce qui ne les empêchait pas de réapparaître sans cesse. Alors que ces thèses étaient encore en voie d’élaboration et encore bien loin de devenir matière scolaire, dès 1654, l’historien brabançon Jacobus van Oudenhoven avait conclu de l’absence totale de tout écrit hollandais antérieur au X e siècle non pas au complet analphabétisme de ces pré-Hollandais, mais à leur totale absence des Pays-Bas (voir L’état des choses avant Delahaye, 1 ad b). Et tout récemment, à Nimègue, au cours du Congrès consacré à Willibrord, un archéologue très engagé a posé la question : « Pourquoi Utrecht n’a-t-elle pas été pillée par les Normands 1 ? » et lui a apporté la réponse : « Parce qu’il n’y avait rien à piller. Utrecht n’était pas plus qu’une ruine (romaine ?). A l’époque de Saint Willibrord, les Pays-Bas étaient un archipel d’îles sillonné de tous côtés par des fleuves et des chenaux de marée et chichement habité de ci de là. ». Ces deux déclarations, séparées par 335 ans, ne s’en rejoignent pas moins, Van Oudenhoven attribue l’absence d’écrits néerlandais à l’absence d’habitants en Hollande, Van Es attribue l’absence d’habitants aux transgressions. Il convient de se demander ici ce qui se serait passé si, il y a 35 ans, en dépit de la rigoureuse séparation entre disciplines, les géologues et stratigraphes n’avaient pas été retenus, par la crainte de franchir les frontières de leur spécialité, de transmettre les données dont ils disposaient certainement déjà sur le théâtre et le processus des transgressions, aux historiens qui interprètent les textes (et auxquels les archéologues manifestent souvent un respect par trop servile) ; il faut dire que lesdits historiens étaient du reste manifestement bien loin, tant s’en faut !, de souhaiter cette information dérangeante. Cette information aurait en effet disqualifié d’un seul coup et globalement les Pays-Bas dans l’attribution des toponymes des siècles en question et conduit à rejeter d’emblée les identifications les plus vitales. Elle aurait levé depuis longtemps le tabou qui pèse toujours sur l’œuvre de Delahaye et a failli empêcher son apparition. Car en quoi un Néerlandais pourrait-il s’offusquer que 1 Note du traducteur (dorénavant Ndtr.) : Delahaye avait du reste prouvé dès 1977 dans De mythe van de Normannen in Nederland (Le mythe des Normands aux Pays-Bas – par lequel j’ai découvert Delahaye) que les Normands, originaires de Dania/Normandie et non de Scandinavie, n’ont jamais eu l’idée saugrenue de risquer leurs drakkars dans les traitreux bourbiers, gadoues, schorres, maremmes, hauts-fonds, bas-fonds, mollières, tourbières, paluds et chenaux de marée du delta néerlandais pour y traquer quelques pauvres hères menant une précaire existence sur quelques taupinières assiégées par les flots. L’opuscule étant épuisé, on en trouvera une version plus élaborée dans ma traduction Des « histoires » à l’Histoire , Tome II, page 679 et suivantes, (Tome I : I.S.B.N. : 978-2-9531219-2-6 ; Tome II : I.S.B.N. : 978-2-9531219-3-3 ; Tome III : I.S.B.N. : 978-2- 9531219-4-0).

La Hollande n’aurait pas plus longtemps pris une part intéressée à la distribution des anciens toponymes contestés : elle n’aurait dans le meilleur des cas été qu’un spectateur attentif. Hélas ! Tant qu’une telle déclaration d’inhabitabilité des secteurs de transgression des Pays-Bas n’avait pas été proférée par des spécialistes autorisés, Albert Delahaye se voyait contraint d’opposer, dans un registre polémique, ses identifications personnelles – comme une preuve ‘ex alibi’ – aux éventuelles identifications déjà avancées dans la partie inondable

  • The Carolingian Past in Post-Carolingian Europe Simon Maclean
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository 1 The Carolingian Past in Post-Carolingian Europe Simon MacLean On 28 January 893, a 13-year-old known to posterity as Charles III “the Simple” (or “Straightforward”) was crowned king of West Francia at the great cathedral of Rheims. Charles was a great-great-grandson in the direct male line of the emperor Charlemagne andclung tightly to his Carolingian heritage throughout his life.1 Indeed, 28 January was chosen for the coronation precisely because it was the anniversary of his great ancestor’s death in 814. However, the coronation, for all its pointed symbolism, was not a simple continuation of his family’s long-standing hegemony – it was an act of rebellion. Five years earlier, in 888, a dearth of viable successors to the emperor Charles the Fat had shattered the monopoly on royal authority which the Carolingian dynasty had claimed since 751. The succession crisis resolved itself via the appearance in all of the Frankish kingdoms of kings from outside the family’s male line (and in some cases from outside the family altogether) including, in West Francia, the erstwhile count of Paris Odo – and while Charles’s family would again hold royal status for a substantial part of the tenth century, in the long run it was Odo’s, the Capetians, which prevailed. Charles the Simple, then, was a man displaced in time: a Carolingian marooned in a post-Carolingian political world where belonging to the dynasty of Charlemagne had lost its hegemonic significance , however loudly it was proclaimed.2 His dilemma represents a peculiar syndrome of the tenth century and stands as a symbol for the theme of this article, which asks how members of the tenth-century ruling class perceived their relationship to the Carolingian past.

  • Charlemagne and Europe
    Journal of the British Academy, 2, 125–152. DOI 10.5871/jba/002.125 Posted 3 December 2014. © The British Academy 2014 Charlemagne and Europe Raleigh Lecture on History read 12 November 2013 JINTY NELSON Fellow of the Academy Abstract: This paper, ‘Charlemagne and Europe’, is a revised and expanded form of the lecture I read on 12 November 2013. I begin by asking what Europe has meant to medieval historians in recent times, focusing on some answers given in the 1990s and around the year 2000, and reflecting on the different ways Charlemagne is being com- memorated in different parts of Europe now, 1,200 years after his death. I then re- examine Charlemagne through evidence from his own time, as a ruler of a recognisably European empire, and, in the light of recent research and new approaches, I recon- sider his record as a political figure. A brief survey of his posthumous reputation as man and myth in the middle ages, and after, leads into a closer look at the roles assigned to him in post-war rhetoric. Finally I ask whether Charlemagne has, or might have, anything to offer Europeans today. Keywords: Charlemagne, Europe, empire, commemoration, myth To be invited to give the Raleigh Lecture is, as it has been since it was endowed almost a century ago, a tremendous honour. It also presents a new challenge, for the British Academy is changing with the times, and today’s Raleigh Lecturer is now invited to connect the Academy with a broad public. The occasion has become part of the Academy’s opening-wide of its doors.

Zicht op Deventer De lengte van de wandeling bedraagt bijna 3 km. De wandeling Zicht in Deventer geeft een beeld van de stad in drie dimensie: aanzicht (door van de andere kant van de IJssel te genieten van het stadsaanzicht), overzicht (door het beklimmen van de Lebuinus toren) en inzicht (door een wandeling door het oude stadsgedeelte van Deventer). Voor het beklimmen van de toren is het handig om vooraf even te kijken of het mogelijk is (zie www.vvvdeventer.nl ). 0 Stadsmuur Welle 0 Vanuit Dorestad, nu Wijk bij Duurstede, komen veel handelslieden naar Deventer, de enige andere stad in de regio. In 793 werd Deventer - na vele andere aanvallen - aangevallen door Vikingen en helemaal platgebrand. Hierna zijn de eerste grondwallen aangelegd. Daarop werden houten palissaden gezet, een soort hek van houten palen met scherpe punten. Later werd er ook een gracht om de stad gegraven en een stadsmuur gebouwd (omstreeks 1200). In de 14e eeuw (1360) werd de stadsmuur zelfs verdubbeld. In de stadsmuur werden stadspoorten en verdedigingstorens gebouwd. Als de poorten dicht waren, kon je de stad niet in of uit. Dat was ook de bedoeling, want het was niet veilig buiten de muren van de stad. De muren gaven ook bescherming in tijden van oorlog.

But, as highlighted by our conceptual model, different configurations of assessment usage generate performance- conducive incentives of different strengths for different stakeholders in different school environments. We build a dataset of over 2 million students in 59 countries observed over 6 waves in the international PISA student achievement test 2000-2015. Our empirical model exploits the country panel dimension to investigate reforms in assessment systems over time, where identification comes from taking out country and year fixed effects along with a rich set of student, school, and country measures.

ORIGINAL BINDING of brown calf over wooden boards, three raised bands on the spine, leather very worn, front board broken, both clasps missing, last two quires detached from sewing, in a very fine modern blue case. Dimensions 110 x 80 mm. A German Book of Hour, still in its original binding, with remarkably individualized contents, notably including extensive prayers not commonly found in Books of Hours. Textual evidence suggests it was made for a woman. The fact that it was never illustrated by miniatures or figurative initials and is copied on paper and parchment in an informal script likewise set this apart from typical Books of Hours from other regions in Europe.
