  • Encounters Between Tuscany and Lorraine
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Strunck, Christina (Hrsg.): Medici women as cultural mediators (1533-1743) = Le donne di casa Medici e il loro ruolo di mediatrici culturali fra le corti d'Europa, Milano 2011, S. 149-181 How Chrestienne Became Cristina Political and Cultural Encounters between Tuscany and Lorraine Christina Strunck While Florence has recently celebrated Caterina and Maria de Medici, the two Florentine queens of France,1 a third highly influential woman, who had close ties to both oi them, has hitherto received only very little attention: Christine of Lorraine, Grand Duchess of luscany (fig. 1). Christine, born in 1565, was Caterina’s favourite grand-daughter and had been raised at the French court since her mother, Caterina’s daughter Claude, had died in childbed in 1575. Caterina instructed the girl in politics’ and arranged the marriage match with her luscan relative, Grand Duke Ferdinando de’ Medici. From her wedding in 1589 until her death in 1636 Christine developed numerous political and cultural initiatives that have left their mark on Florence and Tuscany.'1 She maintained multi-layered relationships both with France and with Lorraine, the latter then still an independent state, governed in turn by Christine s father, Duke Charles Ill (reigned 1559-1608), and her brothers Henry II (1608-1624) and Francois II (1624), before her nephew Charles IV of Lorraine (1624-1675) finally had to accept the French occupation of his duchy.5 Although much could be said about Christine s dealings with the French court and with Maria de’ Medici in particular,1 in this paper I would like to focus only on the relationships between Tuscany and Lorraine sponsored by the Grand Duchess - a topic that has never been the object of sustained investigation.

  • Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72
    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.

    THE FLORENTINE HOUSE OF MEDICI (1389-1743): POLITICS, PATRONAGE, AND THE USE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SHAPING THE RENAISSANCE By NICHOLAS J. CUOZZO, MPP A thesis submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Art History written under the direction of Archer St. Clair Harvey, Ph.D. and approved by _________________________ _________________________ _________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Florentine House of Medici (1389-1743): Politics, Patronage, and the Use of Cultural Heritage in Shaping the Renaissance By NICHOLAS J. CUOZZO, MPP Thesis Director: Archer St. Clair Harvey, Ph.D. A great many individuals and families of historical prominence contributed to the development of the Italian and larger European Renaissance through acts of patronage. Among them was the Florentine House of Medici. The Medici were an Italian noble house that served first as the de facto rulers of Florence, and then as Grand Dukes of Tuscany, from the mid-15th century to the mid-18th century. This thesis evaluates the contributions of eight consequential members of the Florentine Medici family, Cosimo di Giovanni, Lorenzo di Giovanni, Giovanni di Lorenzo, Cosimo I, Cosimo II, Cosimo III, Gian Gastone, and Anna Maria Luisa, and their acts of artistic, literary, scientific, and architectural patronage that contributed to the cultural heritage of Florence, Italy. This thesis also explores relevant social, political, economic, and geopolitical conditions over the course of the Medici dynasty, and incorporates primary research derived from a conversation and an interview with specialists in Florence in order to present a more contextual analysis.

  • 1 Brian SANDBERG Draft Version Without Footnotes Introduction: A
    Mediterranean Maritime History Network Conference Brian Sandberg, Medici Archive Project FRENCH NOBLES AND RELIGIOUS STRUGGLE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, 1598-1635 Brian SANDBERG Draft Version without Footnotes Introduction: A Unified Religious Struggle? In June 1619, Sebastiano Montelupo wrote from Krakow thanking a Medici secretary for “the good news that you sent me of the peace in France and of the seizure of Turkish vessels by the galleys of the religion of Santo Stefano.” Montelupo found this news “carissima” and prayed that God would maintain the “union” in France and grant “prosperous fortune” to the galleys. Montelupo’s linkage of religious struggle within France to Christian warfare against the Ottoman Empire suggests that he saw these conflicts as aspects of a unified religious struggle. Writing from central Europe, Montelupo might be expected to confine his vision of religious warfare to the expanding conflict within the Holy Roman Empire that would become the Thirty Years’ War, and the Habsburg warfare on land against the Ottomans. Yet even in the heart of central Europe, Mediterranean maritime warfare could be perceived as a significant facet of a global religious conflict, as Montelupo’s correspondence shows. Montelupo’s comparative focus on civil conflict in France in 1619 may at first seem curious. The historiography of early seventeenth-century France has long portrayed conflicts as unconcerned with religious issues, but instead motivated by noble rivalries, opposition to absolutism, or peasant discontent. However, I have argued elsewhere that the 1598 Edict of Nantes was never fully implemented and that it hardly ended religious conflict within France. 1 Mediterranean Maritime History Network Conference Brian Sandberg, Medici Archive Project Confessional politics and religious activism continued to shape French nobles’ participation in civil conflicts in early seventeenth-century France.

  • Portrait of a Lady, Possibly the Poet Maddalena Salvetti
    Bartolommeo Traballesi (Florence c. 1540 - Florence 1585) Portrait of a Lady, possibly the Poet Maddalena Salvetti (1557-1610), in a Green Dress and Pearls, Standing at a Draped Table, with a Pet Squirrel oil on panel, the reverse branded with the mark ‘A•A’ 97.2 x 73.7 cm (38¼ x 29 in) This elegantly aloof and elevated portrait, possibly of the poet Maddalena Salvetti (c.1557-1610), has recently been attributed as a rare work by the Florentine artist, Bartolommeo Traballesi. Previous attributions have been made to Agnolo Bronzino (1503-1572) - and later his school - and Tommaso Manzuoli, called Maso da San Friano (1536-1571).¹ It is likely that this portrait was commissioned to celebrate the marriage in 1572 of Maddalena Salvetti to Zanobi Acciaiolli (1548-1613), a commander in the Order of Saint Stephen - a dynastic military order founded in 1561 by Cosimo I de’ Medici (1519-1574). In its early years, the Order successfully took part in the Spanish wars against the Ottomans, being present at the siege of Malta (1565), the Battle of Lepanto (1571) and the capture of Annaba in Algeria. 125 Kensington Church Street, London W8 7LP United Kingdom www.sphinxfineart.com Telephone +44(0)20 7313 8040 Fax: +44 (0)20 7229 3259 VAT registration no 926342623 Registered in England no 06308827 The Acciaioli were a prominent Florentine banking family (Compagna di Ser Leone degli Acciaioli e de’ suoi consorti) whose business spread from Greece to Western Europe.

Warren Anderson and Brooks B. Hull University of Michigan-Dearborn Dearborn, Michigan Abstract In 1119 King Baldwin II of Jerusalem granted nine French knights space on the Temple Mount over the ruins of Solomon’s Temple to create the headquarters of a new monastic order: The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, or the Knights Templar. They grew in wealth and power and became an influential and pervasive organization throughout Western Europe until King Philip of France suppressed them in 1307. The Templars were only one of a number of Christian holy orders of “warrior monks” founded after the First Crusade, with more than two-dozen others founded in Syria, Central and Eastern Europe, and Iberia. More importantly for this paper, the Templars are one example of what we label “warrior elites.” Our definition of warrior elites is not precise but includes pre-industrial full-time specialized soldiers that represent a relatively small part of a region’s military forces but possess disproportionate military strength.

The first title of The Equestrian Knight Pontiff; The Spur of Gold, is, to this day, still considered one of the most distinguished recognitions of honour. In 1471 The Pontiff Paul II awarded the first investiture “The Knights of Saint Peter” as an honoured title of The Holy See. The Knights of Saint Peter refers to the honoured investiture Knighthood of the Holy See., This Spur of Gold, is not to be confused with The Spur of Gold awarded by The Royal Cavalry Until 1500, at The Papal Court, there was not a real defined Equestrian Order, with privilege and duties established by regulation, in fact the investiture didn’t always have an official mantle and insignia. In 1520 the Pontiff Leone X founded The Order of Saint Peter, the first Honorary Institute of The Order of Saint Peter. Made up of 401 knights of various parts of The Apostolic Chancellery. The Title of Honour consisted of a medal. The Knights offered sums of money to The Holy See, and in exchange they received honours and income.
