With the funding of the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Trustees of the Royal Armouries a collaborative doctoral studentship was secured. This included on-the-job curatorial training at the Royal Armouries and academic training at the Institute for Medieval Studies, University of Leeds. Both of these were convivial places to work and I am grateful to the many friends and colleagues who so generously shared their expertise. My supervisors have been a constant source of encouragement and guidance allowing me the freedom to take the project in my own direction. I wish to thank my employer Glasgow Museums and in particular my Line Manager Ms Jean Walsh for being so flexible and understanding. I would also like to thank the staff of the various archives and libraries consulted. Especial thanks are due to Profs Peter Ainsworth, Sydney Anglo, Noel Fallows, and Richard Morris, Drs Rosalind Brown-Grant, Tobias Capwell, Meredith Cohen, Elizabeth L’Estrange, William Flynn, Alan Murray, Zsuzsa Papp, Katie Stevenson, Mary Swan, and Messrs Philip Abbott, Stuart Carrington, Stuart Ivinson, Arne Koets, Philip Lankester, Thom Richardson, Graeme Rimer, Robert Woosnam-Savage, and Ms Alison Martin. My family have been unfailing in their support: Scott and Caroline, Norah and Frank, and Jennie who has had to put up with me in the final stages. This work is dedicated to them. 3 Abstract In the Royal Armouries collection is a codex comprising three fifteenth-century manuscripts in French. The codex is not only unpublished, it has never been transcribed or translated. The content is a primary source for the study of the medieval tournament as well as many other aspects of the elite culture of late-medieval Burgundy, England, and France. It is composed of fourteen different texts called items. This edition comprises a transcription of over 50,000 words of text in three different hands and a translation from the medieval French into English. The commentary is tripartite. The first section is a technical physical description, with an investigation of the palaeography, provenance, and miniatures of the three manuscripts. The second is a discussion of the origin of the production of the codex. It will be postulated that it was produced by heralds for heralds. In the third section explanatory notes are given to the fourteen items to allow a greater understanding of the codex. Drawing on similar primary source material, much of it unpublished, a clearer definition of the terminology employed for the various forms of combat is offered. Often subsumed under the category of ‘the tournament’, the examination of the organization and regulation of, and specialized equipment used in, these forms of combat reveals a more complicated phenomenon than is often represented in current studies. 4 Table of Contents List of Abbreviations ........................................................................................... 8 Introduction …………………………………………………………………………… 12 1.

  • Artikel Interview James Raymond 17-11-2016
    “We hebben altijd lol in de studio ” Interview James Raymond – 17 november 2016 Stel je eens voor: je bent na je geboorte ter adoptie afgestaan en hebt dertig jaar lang geen idee wie je biologische ouders zijn. Totdat je biologische moeder je vertelt dat je de zoon bent van niemand minder dan… David Crosby! Dat overkwam James Raymond, een toetsenist uit Californië die al jarenlang in de muziekscene actief was. Voor James was het geen verrassing dat zijn biologische vader ook muzikant was – zo’n vermoeden had hij altijd al – maar hij had nooit gedacht dat die persoon dé David Crosby zou zijn! Van de legendarische band CSNY had James nog nooit een plaat gekocht, zelf was hij meer een liefhebber van muziek van de Beatles, Elton John, Stevie Wonder en (vooral) Steely Dan… Kort nadat David eind 1994 een levertransplantatie had ondergaan, hebben de beide man- nen elkaar voor het eerst ontmoet. Een ontmoeting die na een ongemakkelijk begin al snel hartelijk en goed was. Ook op het muzikale vlak klikte het tussen vader en zoon, zoals is te horen op het in 2014 verschenen album Croz . James en David hebben er geen spijt van dat ze elkaar niet eerder hebben ontmoet. ‘Ik vind het vreselijk om te moeten zeggen maar in die periode kon ik nog niet eens een Kleenex-doos opvoeden’, merkte David dan ook ooit treffend op. Maar na al die verloren jaren is de band tussen vader en zoon gelukkig weer volledig hersteld. Tekst: Godfried Nevels In een eerder interview zei je dat I Want To Hold Your dat hij in het ziekenhuis lag voor een levertransplanta- Hands van The Beatles jouw eerste single ooit was en tie.

  • “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil”
    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Warrior-Bishops In
    WARRIOR-BISHOPSIN LA CHANSON DE ROLAND AND POWA DE MI0 CID EARL R. ANDERSON ARCHBISHOP TURPIN, THE fighting bishop in La Chanson de Roland, is a character whose behavior and attitudes are contrary to modem assumptions about what a medieval clergyman should have been. The poet's first mention of him, it is true, represents him in a role that is consistent with conventional views about the clergy: he volunteers to travel to Marsilion's court as Charlemagne's peace ambassador (264-73)-but so do the barons Naimon, Roland, and Olivier (246-58). In each subsequent appearance in the poem, however, Brpin accompanies the Frankish rearguard not as a peaceable messenger of the Prince of Peace but more and more as one of Charlemagne's most ferocious warriors. In his "sermun" at Roncevaux, he admonishes the Franks to fight, "Chrestientet aidez a sustenir" '[to] help to sustain the Christian faith' (1129), and "Clamez vos culpes, si preiez Deumercit" 'confess your sins, and pray to God for mercy' (1132), and he promises absolution for sins in exchange for military service, and martyrdom in exchange for death on the battlefield (1134-38). He rides to battle on a horse once owned by Grossaille, a king whom he had killed in Denmark (1488-89). During the course of battle, Tbrpin kills the Berber Corsablix, the enchanter Siglorel, the African Malquiant, the infernally-named Saracen Abisme, and four hundred others, elsewhere striking a War, Literature, and the Arts thousand blows (1235-60, 1390-95, 1414, 1470-1509, 1593-1612, 2091-98). lbrpin and Roland are the last of the Franks to die in the battle.

  • Merits of Invention Edition
    Vol. 7, No. 11 MERITS OF INVENTION EDITION In this Issue: • The Last Inventor • Merit Badge Sashes • Earning Them All • Reinventing the Invention Merit Badge • Thomas Edison and Scouting • Thomas Edison Supernova Award “Build a better mousetrap,” goes an old saying, “and the world will beat a pathway to your door.” That’s all good, unless you happen to be a mouse. Inventing things captures the imagination of young people. Find some tools, boards, pipes, wires, and before long they are nailing, pounding, shaping, bolting, gluing, and imagining what to make next. It’s an impulse Scouting has encouraged since the BSA’s earliest days. THE LAST INVENTOR This year marks a tiny Scouting anniversary. A hundred years ago in 1915, exactly one person earned the Invention merit badge. He was also the tenth and last to receive what has become the BSA’s least-earned award and rarest embroidered patch. Invention was one of the original 57 merit badges listed in the 1911 Boy Scout Handbook. It had just two requirements. Inventing something is one thing. Getting it patented is quite another. To protect an invention from use by others without permission, an inventor must file with the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks and then wait to learn if a patent has been granted. Many early BSA emblems show evidence of being patented. A Scout who did earn the Invention merit badge was Graeme Smallwood of Troop 32, Washington, DC. It was his 38th merit badge. He filed for his patent on October 27, 1914, and received it thirteen months later on the last day of November, 1915.
