  • 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.

  • Prudentius of Troyes (D. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era
    Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era by Jared G. Wielfaert A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Jared Wielfaert 2015 Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era Jared Gardner Wielfaert Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 ABSTRACT: This study concerns Prudentius, bishop of Troyes (861), a court scholar, historian, and pastor of the ninth century, whose extant corpus, though relatively extensive, remains unstudied. Born in Spain in the decades following the Frankish conquest of the Spanish march, Prudentius had been recruited to the Carolingian court under Louis the Pious, where he served as a palace chaplain for a twenty year period, before his eventual elevation to the see of Troyes in the 840s. With a career that moved from the frontier to the imperial court center, then back to the local world of the diocese and environment of cathedral libraries, sacred shrines, and local care of souls, the biography of Prudentius provides a frame for synthesis of several prevailing currents in the cultural history of the Carolingian era. His personal connections make him a rare link between the generation of the architects of the Carolingian reforms (Theodulf and Alcuin) and their students (Rabanus Maurus, Prudentius himself) and the great period of fruition of which the work of John Scottus Eriugena is the most widely recogized example. His involvement in the mid-century theological controversy over the doctrine of predestination illustrates the techniques and methods, as well as the concerns and preoccupations, of Carolingian era scholars engaged in the consolidation and interpretation of patristic opinion, particularly, that of Augustine.

Isaak Loewen 0810122 Coates Library Research Thing Prize 2020 The Heliand’s Massacre of the Innocents: Was the Heliand Written by a Woman? The Old Saxon epic poem, the Heliand, was composed c. 850 CE at the Benadictine Abbey of Fulda in Saxony. The Heliand is a gospel harmony detailing the life of Christ, in which the narrative was adapted for a Saxon audience to include elements of their history and culture (Murphy 2004, 263). Because the poem is so intimately tied to Saxon life, it is unsurprising that it contains graphic violence of soldiers murdering innocents, as a reference to the brutal Frankish conquest of Saxony in the eighth and ninth centuries, which decimated their territory and resulted in mass death. The violence of war is especially present in the depiction of the Massacre of the Innocents from the Gospel of Matthew.

It was the only battle of a three-year civil war that left too many dead and the survivors, shattered. During this period of unrest, from 840-843, an aristocratic woman, Dhuoda, endured the most difficult years of her life. The loyalty of her absentee husband, Bernard of Septimania, was being questioned by one of the three kings fighting for an upper-hand in this bloody civil war. To ensure his loyalty, his and Dhuoda’s 14-year old son, William, was to be sent to King Charles the Bald as a hostage.

    3. Texte, Identitäten im Frankenreich 150 RUDOLF SCHIEFFER KARL DER GROSSE, EIRENE UND DER URSPRUNG DES WESTLICHEN KAISERTUMS Die Frage nach den Ursprüngen, die den roten Faden dieses Bandes ausmacht, stellt sich auch beim westlichen Kaisertum, das am Weihnachtstag 800 ins Leben trat und durch das Jubiläumsjahr 2000 erst jüngst wieder besondere Beachtung gefunden hat.1 Trotz vieler gelehrter Bemühungen in älterer und neuerer Zeit besteht durchaus keine hinreichende Klarheit darüber, woher der Gedanke kam und was den konkreten Anlaß abgab, eine solche feierliche Rangerhöhung des Frankenkönigs durch den Papst zu vollziehen, deren langfristige historische Tragweite ohnehin den Beteiligten schwer- lich vor Augen gestanden haben wird. Die vermißte Klarheit zu schaffen, traue auch ich mir in diesem kurzen Beitrag nicht zu; vielmehr habe ich nichts weiter anzubieten als einige Randbemerkungen zu den teilweise verblüffenden Wendungen, die die For- schungsdiskussion in den letzten Jahren genommen hat. Wer nach dem Ursprung des karolingischen Kaisertums sucht, kommt kaum umhin, zunächst Karl den Großen (samt seiner gelehrten Umgebung) in den Blick zu fassen, stand er doch im Mittelpunkt der Feierlichkeiten in St. Peter und gewann dabei einen Zuwachs an Respekt und Selbstvertrauen, den er in den folgenden Jahren spürbar zur Geltung gebracht hat.2 Ein unmißverständliches Zeugnis für seinen Drang nach dem Kaisertum aus der Zeit vor 800 fehlt allerdings, und so wirkt seit jeher die Suggestion, die von Einhards Behandlung des Vorgangs ausgeht.

    International Symposium The Treaty of Aachen, AD 812: The Origins and Impact on the Region between the Adriatic, Central, and Southeastern Europe Abstracts University of Zadar Zadar, September 27–29, 2012 Abstracts of the International Symposium The Treaty of Aachen, AD 812: The Origins and Impact on the Region between the Adriatic, Central, and Southeastern Europe Zadar, September 27–29, 2012 University of Zadar Department of History 2012 Frankish ducatus or Slavic Chiefdom? The Character of Borna’s Polity in Early-Ninth-Century Dalmatia Denis Alimov Borna’s polity, attested by Frankish sources on the territory of the former Roman province of Dalmatia in the first quarter of the 9th century, is traditionally considered to be the cradle of early medieval Croatian state. Meanwhile, the exact character of this polity and the way it was linked with the Croats as an early medieval gens remain obscure in many respects. I argue that Borna’s ducatus consisted of two political entities, the Croat polity proper, with its heartland in the region of Knin, and a small chiefdom of the Guduscani in the region of Gacka. Borna was the chief of the Croats, a group of people that gradually developed into an ethnic unit under the leadership of a Christianized military elite.. For all that, the process of the stabilization of the Croats’ group identity originally connected with the social structures of Pax Avarica and its transformation into what can be called gentile identity was very durable, the rate of the process being considerably slower than the formation of supralocal political organization in Dalmatia.
