Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100
Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 1 ©2021 Adam Christopher Matthews All Rights Reserved 2 Abstract Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews With the collapse of the Visigothic kingdom, the judges of Catalonia and southern France worked to keep the region‘s traditional judicial system operable. Drawing on records of judicial proceedings and church dedications from the ninth century to the end of the eleventh, this dissertation explores how judges devised a liturgically-influenced court strategy to invigorate rulings. They transformed churches into courtrooms. In these spaces, changed by merit of the consecration rite, community awe for the power infused within sacred space could be utilized to achieve consensus around the legitimacy of dispute outcomes. At the height of a tribunal, judges brought litigants and witnesses to altars, believed to be thresholds of Heaven, and compelled them to authenticate their testimony before God and his saints. Thus, officials supplemented human means of enforcement with the supernatural powers permeating sanctuaries. This strategy constitutes a hybridization of codified law and the belief in churches as real sacred spaces, a conception that emerged from the Carolingian liturgical reforms of the ninth century. In practice, it provided courts with a means to enact the mandates from the Visigothic Code and to foster stability. The result was a flexible synthesis of law, liturgy, and sacred space that was in many cases capable of harnessing spiritual and community pressure in legal proceedings.

AKA: Wulfgrin I, Count d'Angoulême The province of Angoumois comprised the areas now occupied by the Departments of Charente, with some rectifications. Regions of Charente excluded from the Province were, in the North, those of Confolentais, Champagne Mouton, and Villelagnon; in the Southwest, that part of the arrondissement of Cognac, South of the Né. But included in the Province were Deux Sèvres, a small pays near Sauzé- Vaussais and in Haute Vienne, an irregular intrusion comprising Oradour, Saint Mathieu, and Saint Victurnien. The Capital of Angoumois was Angoulême [Charente]. At first part of Saintonge, Angoumois became an independent City late in the Roman era. During the Carolingians Period, the pays constituted a County, as it was also probably under the Mérovingiens. In 770, there was a Comte named Vulgrin; in 839, the Comte was Turpion. The latter was killed by Normans in 863.

Muslim and Jewish “Otherness” in the Spanish Nation-Building Process Throughout the Reconquista (1212-1614)
MUSLIM AND JEWISH “OTHERNESS” IN THE SPANISH NATION-BUILDING PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE RECONQUISTA (1212-1614) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES OF MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY BY EVRİM TÜRKÇELİK IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN STUDIES AUGUST 2003 ABSTRACT MUSLIM AND JEWISH “OTHERNESS” IN THE SPANISH NATION- BUILDING PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE RECONQUISTA (1212-1614) Türkçelik, Evrim M.Sc. Department of European Studies Supervisor: Assist.Prof.Dr. Mustafa Soykut August 2003, 113 pages In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Isabel and Ferdinand conquered Granada, the last Muslim Kingdom in Spain, issued the edict of expulsion of Jews and charged Christopher Columbus to find out a western route to Indies who by coincidence discovered America. These three momentous events led to construction of Spanish national unity and of the Spanish world empire. In this study, what we are looking for is the impact of the first two events, the conquest of Granada and the expulsion of the Jews, on the formation of the Spanish national unity and the Spanish nationhood vis-à-vis Jews and Muslims in its historical context. In this study, the concept of nation-building would be employed not in economic but in political, religious and cultural terms. This study, by using the historical analysis method, found that centuries-long Muslim and Jewish presence in Spain and the Spaniards’ fight for exterminating this religious, cultural and political pluralism led to the formation of unitary Catholic state and society in Spain in the period under consideration.

Explaining Variation in the Salience of Catalan Nationalism Across the Spain/France Border
Explaining Variation in the Salience of Catalan Nationalism across the Spain/France Border Laia Balcells i Ventura Yale University (June 2009) 1. Introduction In 1659, the kingdoms of France and Spain signed a peace treaty by which a part of the Spanish territory inhabited by ethnic Catalans became part of France (the Treaty of Pyrenees). Since then, Catalan identity persisted on both sides of the France-Spain border. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries this identity was politicised and was converted into the basis of a nationalist movement that aimed at the political sovereignty of the Catalan nation; in other words, a national identity was created. However, neither in its origins nor today is the salience of this Catalan national identity homogeneous across the boundary: while Catalan national identity is politically and socially relevant in Spanish Catalonia, it is almost non-existent in French Catalonia. In this paper I analyse the historical evolution of the Catalan identity in these two territories, focusing on the pattern of incorporation of this identity into a political ideology: nationalism. My aim is to use this comparison in order to provide new insights in the large debate about the factors explaining Catalan nationalism, which has involved historians, sociologists, political scientists, and anthropologists during decades (e.g. Solé-Tura 1967, Vicen-Vives 1970, Linz 1973, Balcells 1991, Sahlins 1989, Termes 2000, Boix 2002), but where contributions can still be made. This is especially the case given recent theoretical developments in the study of nationalism. The main argument defended in this paper is that the variation in the salience of Catalan national identity in these two regions is explained by the characteristics of the historical processes of spread of mass literacy in France and Spain, namely by the characteristics of the ‘scholastic revolution’ (Darden 2007).

At the same time it was the only period between Antiquity and the modern age in which the Iberian Peninsula witnessed the most remarkable political, religious, cultural, linguistic, and ethnic diversity in its history. Such diversity creates serious problem of study, as during the Middle Ages, three or, occasionally more, Christian states existed at the same time, each with its own distinct history, culture, and institutions. In addition, one or more Muslim powers dominated the south. The inescapable importance of the Jewish and Basque communities adds to a bewildering richness and complexity of the cultural and religious mix. The medieval history of Spain has long been regarded as isolated from the mainstream of European development, but more than in any other period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula, Spain during the Middle Ages was linked to a vast region in Eurasia, from the banks of the Danube to the deserts of Arabia.

Imperial Spain: Castile and Aragon the Modern-Day State of Spain Originated As a Series of Separate and Distinct Kingdoms Throughout the Iberian Peninsula
Imperial Spain: Castile and Aragon The modern-day state of Spain originated as a series of separate and distinct kingdoms throughout the Iberian Peninsula. Imperial Spain emerged from the marriage of two members of two influential kingdoms: Castile and Aragon. In 1469, the marriage of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon successfully united these two kingdoms. After winning a civil war in the years following her coronation, by 1479 Queen Isabella was fully in control of her realm. In that same year, upon the death of his father, Ferdinand became the King of Aragon. Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand became the joint rulers of Castile and Aragon, out of which would become the state of Spain. The reign of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand (who were collectively referred to as the Catholic Monarchs) would oversee the early development and growth of the Spanish empire. Castile and Aragon continued to retain separate social, political, and economic identities until the ascension of King Charles I in 1516. During his reign, the territories throughout the Iberian Peninsula (with the exception of Portugal) were officially unified. For the next couple of centuries, imperial Spain would continue to expand under a newly unified structure. The Kingdom of Aragon The kingdoms of Castile and Aragon had unique histories before their unification. Although the marital union between Isabella and Ferdinand was considered an equal arrangement, the kingdom of Aragon was already floundering by the time of its union with Castile. Aragon boasted many port cities, which provided the kingdom with a strong commercial empire. The kingdom (or Crown) of Aragon comprised a federation of distinctly separate provinces or regions.
