Boso II of Arles Boson II of Arles (928 – 965/67) was Count of Avignon from 935 and Count of Arles from 949. Around 953, Boso II married Boson II of Arles Constance, possibly a daughter of the Bivinid Charles Constantine, Count of Avignon Count of Vienne, from whom he got two sons: Redwood II Count of Arles (Roubaud), and William I (Guillaume the Liberator) (* c. 952; † 994), Count of Arles and Provence, and then Margrave of Provence.[1] His origin is controversial, even though his life is relatively well known.[2][3][4] Origin According to a first hypothesis, Boson II, son of Rotbold (Roubaud) or Rodboald of Agel, a Mâconnais noble is given the title of Count of Provence in 903 by Louis the Blind. The ancestors of Rotbold are unknown. Some historians consider that he could be the husband of either a daughter of William I and Ermengarde, one of the daughters of Boso V of Provence. This hypothesis is based on the fact that his ancestor being a male Born 928 descendant of the Margrave Boso is rejected by some historians due to Died 967 (aged 38–39) this Boson only having female descendants.[5] According to the French historian Jean-Pierre Poly, who sides with this hypothesis, the Spouse(s) Constance family of counts who was put into power by Hugh of Italy, probably Issue came from Septimania. One of them, Boson, switched sides around Rotbold I of Provence 947-948 by cancelling his marriage with Berthe, the niece of Hugh, William I of Provence and marrying a noblewoman named Constance. His brother William's name was given to one of Boson's sons and suggests he was possibly Father Rotbald of Agel related to the Guilhelmides of Auvergne. Conrad III of Burgundy, the new king of Provence, may have found in Boson a less threatening and ambitious count from a minor family, and more likely to get along with Provençal notables.[6] References 1. d'Abbans, A.F.É.J.

Conversion and Empire: Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (ca. 300-900) by Alexander Borislavov Angelov A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor John V.A. Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

Plague and the End of Antiquity : the Pandemic of 541-750
P1: JZP 0521846390pre CUFX041/Little 0521 84639 0 printer: cupusbw October 20, 2006 10:47 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: JZP 0521846390pre CUFX041/Little 0521 84639 0 printer: cupusbw October 20, 2006 10:47 Plague and the End of Antiquity Plague was a key factor in the waning of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Eight centuries before the Black Death, a pan- demic of plague engulfed the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and eventually extended as far east as Persia and as far north as the British Isles. It persisted sporadically from 541 to 750, the same period that witnessed the distinctive shaping of the Byzantine Empire, a new prominence of the Roman papacy and of monasticism, the begin- nings of Islam and the meteoric expansion of the Arabic Empire, the ascent of the Carolingian dynasty in Frankish Gaul, and, not coinci- dentally, the beginnings of a positive work ethic in the Latin West. In this volume, twelve scholars using history, archaeology, epidemiol- ogy, and molecular biology have produced a comprehensive account of the pandemic’s origins, spread, and mortality, as well as its eco- nomic, social, political, and religious effects. The historians’ sources are in Arabic, Syriac, Greek, Latin, and Old Irish. The archaeologists’ sources include burial pits, abandoned villages, and aborted build- ing projects. The epidemiologists use the written sources to track the disease’s means and speed of transmission, the mix of vulnerability and resistance it encountered, and the patterns of reappearance over time. Finally, molecular biologists, newcomers to this kind of inves- tigation, have become pioneers of paleopathology, seeking ways to identify pathogens in human remains from the remote past.
