  • 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.

  • “A Lady Wandering in a Faraway Land” the Central European Queen/Princess Motif in Italian Heretical Cults1
    “A LADY WANDERING IN A FARAWAY LAND” THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN QUEEN/PRINCESS MOTIF IN ITALIAN HERETICAL CULTS1 Dávid Falvay “Il fiut ung temps une damoyselle, fille de roy, de grant cueur et de noblesse et aussi de noble courage, et demouroit en astrange païs” (Marguerite Porete) Introduction In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries a new religious model formed in Western Europe. People started to require an active, personal participation in religious life. The popularity of different heresies, the flourishing of popular movements on the borderline between heresy and acceptance, and finally, the foundation and development of the new mendicant orders, first of all the Dominicans and Franciscans, are all manifestations of this new model of religious life. At the beginning of the thirteenth century, with the foundation of the mendicant orders, a new form and ideal of sainthood was created for both men and women.2 By the time this model was formed we can record the double character of this ideal: together with Saint Francis, who was the most influential model, Saint Claire became the archetype for women who decided to follow a life dedicated to Christ. For the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries another characteristic woman figure appeared, Saint Catherine, who inspired the formation of the female model. In Central Europe a slightly different model was formed for women. The prototype of that female sainthood was Saint Elisabeth of Hungary. The main difference was that in the West the saints were 1 This study is a shortened version of my MA thesis defended at the Department of Medieval Studies in June 2001.

  • 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.

  • A Fábula DA PRINCESA Herege Que VEIO DE Longe AINDA
    10.5216/o.v17i2.44613 A FÁBula da princesa HEREGE QUE VEIO DE LONGE. Ainda SOBRE GUGLIELMA Marina Benedetti* Resumo: Dividido em duas partes (biografia e hagiografia), o artigo mostra várias tendências de criar “o conto da princesa herética vinda de longe”. A autora aborda as diferentes fontes relacionadas com uma mulher de nome Guglielma, que morreu em Milão, em 1281-1282, conhecida através dos atos de um processo inquisitorial, realizado em 1300. Embora saibamos muito pouco sobre ela, nas mais recentes tendências historiográficas, as informações são combinadas para criar uma única Guglielma, a partir de mosaicos de diferentes Guglielmas, como o famoso caso “Guglielma de Bohemia, Milão e Brunate” ou a suposta relação entre Guglielma e Inês de Praga, extremamente fascinante, mas totalmente desprovida de documentação segura. Palavras-chave: Guglielma; Milão; Boêmia; Heresia medieval; Inquisição; Santa Guglielma. * Professora Titular de História do Cristianismo na Università degli Studi de Milão (Itália). Ela es- tudou o caso de Guglielma (Milano 1300. I processi inquisitoriali contro le devote e i devoti di Gu- glielma, editado por M. Benedetti, Milano, 1999; Io non sono Dio. Guglielma di Milano e i Figli dello Spirito santo, Milano 20042) e então ela se dedicou a heresia e inquisição (Inquisitori Lombardi del Duecento, Roma 2008).
