  • El Acercamiento De La Monarquía Castellana a La Orden De Los Predicadores Durante El Reinado De Juan II De Castilla (1406-1454)1*
    El acercamiento de la monarquía castellana a la Orden de los Predicadores durante el reinado de Juan II de Castilla (1406-1454)1* The Relationship between the Castilian Monarchy and the Order of Preachers during the Reign of John II of Castile (1406-1454)2 Juan Antonio Prieto Sayagués3 Universidad de Valladolid [email protected] Recibido: 26/10/2015 Aceptado: 14/01/2016 RESUMEN Desde la llegada al trono de la dinastía Trastámara los diferentes monarcas castellanos llevaron a cabo una serie de actuaciones respecto a las órdenes religiosas. Durante los primeros años, éstas estuvieron dirigidas, en su mayoría, a la orden franciscana, a lo que habría que sumar la introducción en Castilla de la orden de la Cartuja y las primeras fundaciones jerónimas. Sin embargo, las reinas Beatriz de Portugal y Catalina de Lancaster, junto al infante Fernando de Antequera, fueron los protagonistas del cambio devocional que se produjo en Castilla y que alcanzó su cénit al alcanzar la mayoría de edad Juan II. Desde finales del siglo XIV vieron la luz una serie de fundaciones dominicas y se reformaron algunos conventos por parte de estos personajes; de manera progresiva, comenzaron a confiar en los frailes de esta orden diferentes cometidos espirituales, sociales y políticos. Palabras clave: Trastámaras, cambio devocional, reformas, Juan II, Orden de los Predicadores. ABSTRACT Following the rise of the Trastámaran dynasty, Castilian kings took several actions concerning religious orders. In the early years, these were mostly directed at the Franciscan Order. In addition, the Carthusian order was established in the kingdom and the first Hieronymite monasteries were founded.

  • Looking at Marie De Guise
    Looking at Marie de Guise https://journals.openedition.org/episteme/8092 Tout OpenEdition Revue de littérature et de civilisation (XVIe – XVIIIe siècles) 37 | 2020 Marie de Guise et les transferts culturels / Contingence et fictions de faits divers Marie de Guise and Cultural Transfers Looking at Marie de Guise Regards sur Marie de Guise S R https://doi.org/10.4000/episteme.8092 Résumés English Français This paper examines the symbolic value of the headdresses worn by French women at the Scottish court following the marriage of James V and Mary de Guise in 1538, using the Stirling Heads, portrait medallions from the Renaissance palace at Stirling Castle, as visual evidence. While several of the women are portrayed wearing a conventional French hood, others, including Marie de Guise, wear elaborately crafted “chafferons” which would have been made of gold wire. The chafferon is an unusual choice of headdress for a portrait and the reasons for this are considered with reference to the Petrarchan canon of ideal female beauty and how precious metal and shining hair merged into a single visual conceit. The royal accounts show that chafferons worn by the gentlewomen at the Scottish court were exceptional gifts made by the royal goldsmiths using Scottish gold from the king’s own mines, extracted with the assistance of miners sent by the Duke and Duchess of Guise. These chafferons, therefore, carried layers of meaning about the transformation of Scotland’s fortunes through dynastic marriage and the promise of a new Golden Age of peace and prosperity. Cet article, qui étudie la valeur symbolique des coiffes portées par les femmes françaises à la cour d’Écosse après le mariage de Jacques V et de Marie de Guise en 1538, utilise comme preuves matérielles des portraits gravés sur des médaillons de bois ornant le palais Renaissance du château de Stirling et connus sous le nom de Stirling Heads.

INDEX ROBERT THE BRUCE ROBERT THE BRUCE 1274 July 11, Monday (Old Style): Robert the Bruce was born in Scotland, a politically divided region the nobility of which needed to swear allegiance to the English to the south, under their King Edward I. The Bruce would join in the political revolt led by William Wallace (circa 1274-1305), and would by his murder in February 1306 of his rival John Comyn in a church in Dumfries, entitle himself to a crown — as Robert I at Scone on March 27, 1306. His revolt would take the form of a guerilla war against England, up to his victory over the forces of King Edward II at Bannockburn on June 24, 1314. In 1320 a letter composed in Latin by Bernard de Linton (dated April 24th) would be sent by the Scottish barons and clergy to Pope John XXII at Avignon, stating their allegiance to Robert I. This letter, known as the Declaration of Arbroath, would include a the resounding assertion to the effect that (per a translation published in 1689) “For so long as there shall be but one hundred of us remain alive we will never consent to subject ourselves to the dominion of the English. For it is not glory, it is not riches, neither is it honors, but it is liberty alone that we fight and contend for.” Three years later the Pope would recognize the Bruce as King of Scotland, and the accession of the young King Edward III to the English throne would help Robert I gain English recognition in 1328.

    School Resource Key characters James II was the second son of Charles I, the monarch who was executed by his own people after years of civil wars in England and Scotland. James grew up in exile in France and moved back to England when his brother Charles II was invited to take back the throne in 1685. James was born a Protestant, but converted to Catholicism in the 1660s. At first he kept it a secret because Catholics were feared and hated in England, but during the 1670s and 1680s he worked to gain religious freedoms for Catholics. His daughters, Mary and Anne, from his first marriage were brought up Protestant. But he married the Catholic Mary of Modena in 1673 and when their son James was born in 1688, people feared that England would stay Catholic and looked to the Protestant William of Orange for help.

He retired to France and died there in 1701, but his supporters, the Jacobites, continued to make trouble and try and put his heirs on the throne until 1746. William was the son of one of Charles I’s daughters, meaning James II was his uncle, and his wife Mary, was also his cousin. His marriage to his cousin Mary didn’t start well: she cried at the wedding. But they grew to love each other very much.

Despite this, no consensus has been reached among historians as to the reason for their continued use, with the notable exception of ensuring the production of a legitimate heir. This thesis will argue that the creation and maintenance of alliances was the most important motivating factor for English, Castilian and Aragonese monarchs. Territorial concerns, such as the protection and acquisition of lands, as well as attempts to secure peace between warring kingdoms, were also influential elements considered when arranging dynastic marriages. Other less common motives which were specific to individual marriages depended upon the political, economic, social and dynastic priorities of the time in which they were contracted.
