  • 1 the Nature and the Identity of the Constitution During the Minority Of
    The Nature and the Identity of the Constitution during the Minority of Henry III (1216-1227) Submitted by Stephen Michael Gates to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Masters by Research in Law in June 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract This thesis investigates the nature of the thirteenth-century constitution by focusing on the minority of Henry III. It is argued that Henry’s succession to the throne was a demonstration of the complicated interaction between hereditary right, designation, and election. It is argued that the distribution of power within the government was, for the most part, ill-defined and varied throughout the minority’s course. It is also argued that there was a fundamental uncertainty about when the minority would end and what role Henry himself would play during the minority. Taken together, it is argued, these demonstrate that Henry’s minority was more of a political settlement than a constitutional settlement. This does not mean that England had no constitution during the thirteenth century but merely that it was more sensitive to the political dynamics of the time than perhaps modern constitutions are and that, compared to modern constitutions, it was much less well defined and lacking a clear unified philosophy.

  • The Wettins and the Issue of Inheritance of the Polish-Lithuanian State Throne in the Context of the Constitution of May 3, 1791: Position of the Lithuanian Nobility
    Open Political Science, 2019; 2: 86–95 Research Article Ramunė Šmigelskytė-Stukienė* The Wettins and the Issue of Inheritance of the Polish-Lithuanian State Throne in the Context of the Constitution of May 3, 1791: Position of the Lithuanian Nobility https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2019-0009 received July 15, 2019; accepted October 15, 2019. Abstract: The article analyses attitudes of the Lithuanian nobility towards the inheritance of the throne of the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth (the Commonwealth) in the period of the Four-Year Sejm (1788-1792). Thorough analysis of historiography and research of narrative sources amplifies the position of the Lithuanian nobility towards the issue of inheritance of the throne of the Commonwealth as it was reflected in the political literature of 1787-1789 period. Analysis of the documents produced by the February and November dietines (Pol. sejmiks), 1790 of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (the GDL) reveals changes in the position of nobility towards selection of the successor to the throne with the king still alive. It was established, that in supporting the idea of a hereditary throne, Lithuanian political writers suggested different strategies in realizing this idea and proposed as candidates for the throne representatives of ruling dynasties of several states: Russia, Prussia, Saxony and Great Britain. Changes in the position of nobility were significantly influenced by the activism of patriotic-reformist faction, which proposed the very idea of a hereditary throne and a candidate from the dynasty of Wettins: the GDL districts (Pol. powiats), having ignored the question of throne inheritance in the February dietines of 1790, in November of the same year agreed to the selection of Elector of Saxony as the successor to the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania Stanislaw August.

  • Michael Kohlhaas
    MICHAEL KOHLHAAS By Heinrich Von Kleist On the banks of the Hafel, about the middle of the sixteenth century, lived a horse-dealer, named Michael Kohlhaas. He was the son of a schoolmaster, and was one of the most honest, while at the same time he was one of the most terrible persons of his period. Till his thirtieth year this extraordinary man might have passed as a pattern of a good citizen. In a village, which still bears his name, he held a farm, on which, by means of his business, he was enabled to live quietly. The children whom his wife bore him, he brought up in the fear of God to honesty and industry; and there was not one among his neighbours who had not felt the benefit of his kindness or his sense of justice. In short, the world might have blessed his memory had he not carried one virtue to too great an extreme. The feeling of justice made him a robber and a murderer. He was once riding abroad, with a string of young horses, all sleek and well-fed, and was calculating how he should expend the profit which he hoped to make in the markets--apportioning part, like a good manager, to gain further profit, and part to present enjoyment--when he came to the Elbe, and found, by a stately castle in the Saxon dominion, a toll-bar, which he had never seen on this road. He at once stopped with his horses, while the rain was pouring down, and called to the toll-taker, who soon, with a very cross face, peeped out of window.

  • The Story of King Constant
    The Story of King Constant translated by Eugene Mason In parentheses Publications Old French Series Cambridge, Ontario 2001 Now telleth the tale that once upon a time there lived an Emperor of Byzantium, the which town is now called Constantinople, but in ancient days it was called Byzantium. In days long since there reigned in this city an Emperor; a Paynim he was, and was held to be a great clerk in the laws of his religion. He was learned in a science called astronomy, and knew the courses of the stars, the planets and the moon; moreover, in the stars he read many marvels; he had knowledge of many things which the Paynims study deeply, and had faith in divinations, and in the answers of the Evil OneÑthat is to say, the Adversary. He knew, besides, much of enchantments and sorceries, as many a Paynim doth to this very day. Now it chanced that the Emperor Muselin fared forth one night, he and a certain lord of his together, and went their ways about this city of Constantinople, and the moon shone very clear. They heard a Christian woman, travailing of child, cry aloud as they passed before her house; but the husband of this dame was set in the terrace upon his roof, and now he prayed God to deliver her from her peril, and again he prayed that she might not be delivered. When the Emperor had listened to his words for a long time, he said to the knightÑ ÒHave you heard this caitif who prays now that his wife may not be delivered of her child, and again that she may be delivered? Surely he is viler than any thief, for every man should show pity to woman, and the greater pity to her in pain with child.

  • The First Ancestor to Immigrate to England Was Otho Geraldium, Duke
    The Garretts – Before America Page 1 Before America Prior to Lord John Garrett immigrating to America, his ancestors had lived in England for six centuries. But, the name was not always Garrett. Before they called themselves Garrett, they used the names Garrad, Garrard, and Gerard. Before that it was Gerald, and before that it was Geraldini (sometimes spelled Gherardini). In between the Geraldinis and the Gerald’s, sons where named after their father first name rather than the last name.. So, if a Walter had a son that he called John, John was known a John FitzWalter, Fitz meaning “the son of”. Using this naming convention, my ancestors were the progenitors of the FitzGeralds. The Geraldini Ancestors The first ancestor to immigrate to England was Otho Geraldini. Otho was from Tuscany (now Italy) and he was a Duke. His move was made in two steps -- first to Normandy in the first quarter of the 11th Century and then to England in 1041 AD. So from Otho (Geraldini) we have a progression of names such as: Walter FitzOtho, Gerald FitzWalter, William FitzGerald, and William FitzWilliam. Two prominent branches were the FitzGeralds and the Geralds. The FitzGeralds branch of the family went to Ireland. The Geralds became Garrard, Garrett, etc. Otho was from Italy, born around 1006 AD. He was a Florentine and a member of the Geraldini family. Sometime between 1016 and 1035 Otho went from Tuscany to Normandy (France) in the caravan of the Anglo-Saxon King Canut (Cnut or Canute) who had passed through Florence on his way home from a pilgrimage to Rome.

  • Power, Monarchy and Nobility on the Frontiers of the Crown of Aragon
    POWER, MONARCHY AND NOBILITY ON THE FRONTIERS OF THE CROWN OF ARAGON. THE DISPUTE BETWEEN JAMES I AND BLASCO DE ALAGÓN FOR THE TOWN OF MORELLA (1231-1239) VICENT ROYO PÉREZ UNIVERSIDAD DE ZARAGOZA SPAIN Date of receipt: 5th of March, 2019 Date of acceptance: 15th of November, 2019 ABSTRACT This article analyses the conflict that arose between King James I and the noble Blasco de Alagón for the possession of the town of Morella, on the frontier of the Crown of Aragon. Our intention is to analyse this episode to know the discourses, practices and exercise of the power of the monarchy and the nobility in the middle decades of the thirteenth century. To do so, attention is focussed on the chronicle of James I and the documents that were produced during the dispute. However, we also have to consider the silences in the respective sources, as these are highly significant for understanding the actions of the two protagonists and their concept of power.

Introduction1 The figure of King James I has drawn the interest of historians for many decades. The monarch played a vital role in the history of the Crown of Aragon and, due to that, he has been studied from different perspectives that delve into a wide range of aspects of his personal life and reign.2 Of all his deeds, one that has received greater attention has been the conquest and creation of the Kingdom of Valencia in the mid thirteenth century.

    H-France Review Volume 17 (2017) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 17 (February 2017), No. 34 James Naus, Contesting Kingship: The Capetian Monarchs of France and the Early Crusades. Manchester, U.K.: Manchester University Press, 2016. xiv + 163 pp. Figures, notes, bibliography, and index. $105 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-0719090974 Review by Jay Rubenstein, University of Tennessee-Knoxville In Constructing Kingship, James Naus turns on its head one of the standard questions about the crusades. Historians have usually asked, “Why did monarchs like Louis VII and Louis IX decide to risk their kingdoms and lives by going on crusade?” Naus wonders instead, essentially, “What took the French kings so long?” Because of what Naus terms “the new crusading economy of status,” the advantages of going on crusade for kings far outweighed the potential drawbacks. Indeed, a decision not to go to Jerusalem carried such a risk as to put a monarch’s legitimacy, his claim to sacral status, in jeopardy. Naus divides this argument into two halves: crisis and response. The first half, crisis, paradoxically grows out of the success of the First Crusade, in which no king participated. Chapter one, “Framing the Capetian Miracle,” opens with a consideration of the theoretical basis of Frankish kingship. Working from Carolingian traditions, early Capetian monarchs built their rule on claims to sacrality, an idea developed and promoted in collaboration with a number of monastic houses, notably Fleury and Saint- Denis. In an age of aggressive and at times brutal castellans, this sense of sacrality was one of the key traits that elevated an increasingly weak monarch above his subjects.
