(bstract Apart from a deep respect for the achievements of the Habsburgs, Emperor Maximilian I transmitted to his heirs a practical attitude towards their art collections. Pearls and precious stones were extracted from set pieces to produce new ones; old fashioned !eweller" or silver ob!ects were melted down; and tapestries, paintings and sculptures were publicl" sold to pay off debts. #" stud"ing how some of these goods were reused, recycled, and recirculated among the Habsburg famil" members, I will explain how crown patrimon" changed owners and $ingdoms, and how the cult of their d"nast", activel" promoted b" %harles &, heightened the notion of a collective consciousness which served as a topos for aristocratic collecting in the 'enaissance.

(6* Most of the records once so carefull" $ept b" the Habsburg bureaucrats fell pre" to fire and poor management in later centuries, so that a reconstruction of the d"nast"-s expenditure on art necessaril" depends on the chance availabilit" of documents.

(5* Despite their geographical, chronological and even linguistic spread, and above and be"ond the fact that the" record Habsburg collections, it can be safel" assumed that these inventories constitute a singular group. +hrough time and space the" share the same driving forces, features and , to a certain extent , contents, and were recorded b" the same officials who belonged to the Habsburg courts, all of them regulated b" the strict #urgundian protocol. #" stud"ing these Habsburg inventories as a group we can trace the manipulation of the ob!ects the" possessed and better understand their taste and motivations. Additionall", this stud" will demonstrate a gradual shift from a primar" interest in the value of ob!ects to the promotion of the famil" d"nast" through collecting. (4* +his essa" is organised into two parts, each one consisting of two headings. +he first part explains wh" the Habsburg inventories were made, how the" are organised and how the" differ among them. Here I will t"pif" the importance of the provenance of the ob!ects for the creation of the d"nast" together with the utilitarian value conferred in the documentation to some these belongings, mainl" !ewels and items made of gold and silver. Appreciated above all for their material worth, the" functioned as a genuine treasur" that was dipped into as a source for financing a broad range of famil" re3uirements b" wa" of melting down or recycling. In the second part I will specificall" deal with %harles &-s inventories and discuss their most relevant examples to define the nature of his collections. At first glance, it is difficult to assess to what degree %harles &-s acquisition of wor$s of art was influenced b" the prevailing taste in other ro"al courts in Europe. Definitel", his preferences in armour or tapestr" collections, for instance, cannot be seen in isolation from those of his contemporaries Henr" &III of England .)48) )/472 or =rancis I of =rance .)484 )/472. +his trend was politicall" rather than artisticall" driven@ while %harles visited England in )/60 and )/66 to forge an alliance against =rance and could have seen Henr"-s armours, the rivalr" between the Emperor and the =rench Cing, who sought to outdo each other in magnificence, probabl" provided a powerful impetus to the textile decoration of Habsburg palaces after )/40, when %harles & had been able to see =rancis I's residences for himself on his wa" from <pain to the :ow %ountries in order to suppress the >hent revolt. ) <ee =ernando %heca %remades, dir., and Auan Luis >onzále? >arcEa, ed., The Inventories of Charles V and The Imperial Family, 5 vols., Madrid 60)0.

The thesis explores the importance of these events for queens as both a personal and public experience, and questions the existence of distinctly Western and Eastern styles of queenship. A comparative study of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ ceremony in the sixteenth century has never been attempted before and sixteenth- century Polish queens usually do not appear in any collective works about queenship, even those which claim to have a pan-European focus.

  • Of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun
    Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Jun Hee Cho All rights reserved ABSTRACT Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho This dissertation examines the relations between court and commerce in Europe at the onset of the modern era. Focusing on one of the most powerful princely courts of the period, the court of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, which ruled over one of the most advanced economic regions in Europe, the greater Low Countries, it argues that the Burgundian court was, both in its institutional operations and its cultural aspirations, a commercial enterprise. Based primarily on fiscal accounts, corroborated with court correspondence, municipal records, official chronicles, and contemporary literary sources, this dissertation argues that the court was fully engaged in the commercial economy and furthermore that the culture of the court, in enacting the ideals of a largely imaginary feudal past, was also presenting the ideals of a commercial future. It uncovers courtiers who, despite their low rank yet because of their market expertise, were close to the duke and in charge of acquiring and maintaining the material goods that made possible the pageants and ceremonies so central to the self- representation of the Burgundian court. It exposes the wider network of court officials, urban merchants and artisans who, tied by marriage and business relationships, together produced and managed the ducal liveries, jewelries, tapestries and finances that realized the splendor of the court.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

The goal of this dissertation is to reexamine published primary sources in light of this new argument and integrate unknown archival material to trace the development of a lasting legacy by Cortés and his direct heirs in Spanish colonial Mexico. Part one looks at Cortés’s life after the conquest of Mexico, giving particular attention to the themes of fame and honor and how these ideas guided his actions. The importance of land and property in and after the conquest is also highlighted. Part two is an examination of the marquisate, discussing the key features of the various landholdings and also their importance to the legacy Cortés sought to construct.
