  • The Legacy of the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages in the West The
    The Legacy of the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages in the West The Roman Empire reigned from 27 BCE to 476 CE throughout the Mediterranean world, including parts of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The fall of the Roman Empire in the West in 476 CE marked the end of the period of classical antiquity and ushered in a new era in world history. Three civilizations emerged as successors to the Romans in the Mediterranean world: the Byzantine Empire (in many ways a continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire), and the civilizations of Islam and Western Europe. These three civilizations would become rivals and adversaries over the course of the succeeding centuries. They developed distinct religious, cultural, social, political, and linguistic characteristics that shaped the path each civilization would take throughout the course of the Middle Ages and beyond. The Middle Ages in European history refers to the period spanning the fifth through the fifteenth century. The fall of the Western Roman Empire typically represents the beginning of the Middle Ages. Scholars divide the Middle Ages into three eras: the Early Middle Ages (400–1000), the High Middle Ages (1000–1300), and the Late Middle Ages (1300–1500). The Renaissance and the Age of Discovery traditionally mark the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period in European history. The legacy of the Roman Empire, and the division of its territory into three separate civilizations, impacted the course of world history and continues to influence the development of each region to this day.

  • The Early Middle Ages
    The Early Middle Ages After the collapse of Rome, Western Europe entered a period of political, social, and economic decline. From about 500 to 1000, invaders swept across the region, trade declined, towns emptied, and classical learning halted. For those reasons, this period in Europe is sometimes called the “Dark Ages.” However, Greco-Roman, Germanic, and Christian traditions eventually blended, creating the medieval civilization. This period between ancient times and modern times – from about 500 to 1500 – is called the Middle Ages. The Frankish Kingdom The Germanic tribes that conquered parts of the Roman Empire included the Goths, Vandals, Saxons, and Franks. In 486, Clovis, king of the Franks, conquered the former Roman province of Gaul, which later became France. He ruled his land according to Frankish custom, but also preserved much of the Roman legacy by converting to Christianity. In the 600s, Islamic armies swept across North Africa and into Spain, threatening the Frankish kingdom and Christianity. At the battle of Tours in 732, Charles Martel led the Frankish army in a victory over Muslim forces, stopping them from invading France and pushing farther into Europe. This victory marked Spain as the furthest extent of Muslim civilization and strengthened the Frankish kingdom. Charlemagne After Charlemagne died in 814, his heirs battled for control of the In 786, the grandson of Charles Martel became king of the Franks. He briefly united Western empire, finally dividing it into Europe when he built an empire reaching across what is now France, Germany, and part of three regions with the Treaty of Italy.

  • The Ritualisation of Political Power in Early Rus' (10Th-12Th Centuries)
    The Ritualisation of Political Power in Early Rus’ (10th-12th centuries) Alexandra Vukovic University of Cambridge Jesus College June 2015 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Preface Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration where specifically indicated in the text. No parts of this dissertation have been submitted for any other qualification. Statement of Length This dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 80,000 words set by the Degree Committee of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages. Word count: 79, 991 words Alexandra Vukovic Abstract The Ritualisation of Political Power in Early Rus’ (10th-12th centuries) Alexandra Vukovic This dissertation examines the ceremonies and rituals involving the princes of early Rus’ and their entourage, how these ceremonies and rituals are represented in the literature and artefacts of early Rus’, the possible cultural influences on ceremony and ritual in this emergent society, and the role of ceremony and ritual as representative of political structures and in shaping the political culture of the principalities of early Rus’. The process begins by introducing key concepts and historiographic considerations for the study of ceremony and ritual and their application to the medieval world. The textological survey that follows focusses on the chronicles of Rus’, due to their compilatory nature, and discusses the philological, linguistic, and contextual factors governing the use of chronicles in this study. This examination of the ceremonies and rituals of early Rus’, the first comprehensive study of its kind for this region in the early period, engages with other studies of ceremony and ritual for the medieval period to inform our understanding of the political culture of early Rus’ and its influences.

  • Man and Nature in the Middle Ages, © Christian Rohr 2002
    Man and nature in the Middle Ages, © Christian Rohr 2002 Man and nature in the Middle Ages Lecture at Novosibirsk State University, Oct. 29th – Nov. 1st, 2002 Christian ROHR, University of Salzburg, Austria, [email protected] The text of this lecture can be downloaded under the following URL: http://www.sbg.ac.at/ges/people/rohr/nsk2002.htm. Introduction If we try to define “nature” in the medieval sense, we have to consider a much wider sense than “nature” (in English) or “Natur” (in German) means nowadays. As our discussions have shown, the Russian expression ï ðèðî äà is more generally used and therefore more suitable to compare it with medieval “natura” (in Latin). So, nature is not only the uncultivated part of environment, but also the sum of living behaviours in general, the relationship between god and human beings, the explanations of the universe and of life in particular. In this way, I will not be able to present a full survey on “man and nature”. In addition to that, this field of research in now growing very quickly, developing also many sub-disciplines. Instead of that I prefer to give you an insight in some of the possible approaches and I mostly want to focus on examples, which I will treat in more detail. 1 Man and nature in the Middle Ages, © Christian Rohr 2002 Methods of Approach Looking at the last general conference of the European Society of Environmental History (ESEH) in St. Andrew’s, Scotland in September 2001, there are quite a lot different approaches to environmental history and to nature.

  • The Origins of the Italian Renaissance
    The Origins of the Italian Renaissance The Apex of Medieval Civilization: 1100-1300 Medieval civilization reached its high point during the 12th and 13th centuries. This was a period of population growth. There had been no major epidemics or widespread wars since about the year 1000 and so the population had gradually expanded. Europe also enjoyed an economic expansion during these centuries. Agricultural output matched the rising population and there were no significant crop failures that might have caused famines. While almost everybody lived in the countryside, town life revived after 1000. The establishment of the guild system and the introduction of a money economy led to a significant increase in manufacturing and trade. Local and long-distance trade also benefited from the relatively stable political climate. The Crusades to the Holy Land tended to rid Europe of many troublemakers who frequently looted their way through the Byzantine Empire and Muslim kingdoms of the Middle East. The 12th and 13th centuries were also socially stable. Kings and nobles had a feudal relationship. Nobles enjoyed the rights to their lands, exemption from taxes, and ownership of their serfs, in return for their support for the king. Serfs comprised the vast majority of the population, and while their lives were hard, their harvests were generally reliable, their taxes were stable (in fact, taxes hadn’t risen much at all over the course of the two centuries), and the Church guaranteed them eternal salvation if they followed its teachings. Finally, the High Middle Ages is often referred to as an “Age of Faith.” The Roman Catholic Church was at the height of its power.

  • The End of Territorial Lordship in Medieval Germany. Reflections Upon an Historiographical Theory.'
    The End of Territorial Lordship in Medieval Germany. Reflections upon an Historiographical Theory.' Benjamin Arnold University of Reading In parliamentary meetings held at Nuremberg and Metz during 1356, Emperor Charles IV (1346-1378) promulgated what he called unser keiserliches rechtbuch, an imperial lawbook by which the method of imperial election as well as many other matters concerning the political structure of the German Empire were to be regulated. Its later designation as Charles IV's 'Golden Bull' refers simply to the seal, an aurea bulla 2 Technically it was an imperial edict namcd after the first two words of the main text, Omne regum. Since Omne regum somewhat resembles a written constitution about princely as well as imperial rights, it always comes as a surprise to read the diatribe assembled from biblical passages against the princes of Germany which introduces the lawbook. They are even castigated as companions of thieves. But after all, one of the emperor's intentions was to reconcile the political prestige and the local authority of the electoral princes with the hopes of the German rulers to establish dynasties by harmonizing the elective with the hereditary principles of succession. This Charles IV achieved when his son Wenceslas was elected king of the Romans at Frankfurt in 1376. The title indicated that the incumbent would, after his predecessor's death, undertake the expeditio Romana to receive coronation as emperor at the hands of the pope. In the event Wenceslas never went to Rome, possibly as a consequence of increasing alcoholism. He was in any case deposed as king of the Romans in 1400 but survived as king of Bohemia until 1419.
