Submitted as Máel-dúin O’Duinn, the submitter requested a name authentic for 15th C Ireland. As submitted, the name is unregisterable since the byname mixes the English patronymic marker O’ with the Irish patronym Duinn in violation of RfS III.1.a. This can be fixed by changing the marker to the Irish Ó. This change was specifically allowed by the submitter. The given name Máel-dúin is documented to before the 13th C; it is a Middle Irish form of the name inappropriate for use in the 15th C. The Annals of the Four Masters has a Magnus mac Maoile Duin in an entry for 1486. Irish bynames that use mac in this period are typically true patronymics; Magnus’s father almost certainly bore the given name Maol Duin. The normalized Early Modern Irish form of this name is Maol Duín; precedent holds that accents in Gaelic names must either be used consistently or dropped consistently. We have changed the name to Maol_Duín Ó Duinn, a fully Early Modern Irish form appropriate for the 15th C, in order to register it and to fulfill the submitter’s request for authenticity.

  • On the Concepts of 'Sovereign' and 'Great' Orders
    ON THE CONCEPTS OF ‘SOVEREIGN’ AND ‘GREAT’ ORDERS Antti Matikkala The only contemporary order of knighthood to include the word ‘sovereign’ in its name is the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and Malta. Sovereignty is here heraldically exemplified by the Grand Master’s use of the closed crown. Its Constitutional Charter and Code explains that the order ‘be- came sovereign on the islands of Rhodes and later of Malta’, and makes the follow- ing statement about its sovereignty: ‘The Order is a subject of international law and exercises sovereign functions.’1 However, the topic of this article is not what current scholarship designates as military-religious orders of knighthood, or simply military orders, but monarchical orders. To quote John Anstis, Garter King of Arms,2 a monarchical order can be defined in the following terms: a Brotherhood, Fellowship, or Association of a certain Number of actual Knights; sub- jected under a Sovereign, or Great Master, united by particular Laws and Statutes, peculiar to that Society, not only distinguished by particular Habits, Ensigns, Badges or Symbols, which usually give Denomination to that Order; but having a Power, as Vacancies happen in their College, successively, of nominating, or electing proper Per- sons to succeed, with Authority to assemble, and hold Chapters. The very concept of sovereignty is ambiguous. A recent collection of essays has sought to ‘dispel the illusion that there is a single agreed-upon concept of sovereignty for which one could offer of a clear definition’.3 To complicate the issue further, historical and theoretical discussions on sovereignty, including those relating to the Order of Malta, concentrate mostly on its relation to the modern concept of state, leaving the supposed sovereignty of some of the monarchical orders of knighthood an unexplored territory.

  • OPINION the Kingdom of Sicily Was a State That Existed in the Southern
    OPINION The Kingdom of Sicily was a state that existed in the Southern part of Italy from 1130 when it was founded by the Normans under Roger II, until 1816. From the XIV Century. the Kingdom of Sicily was consecutively under the rule of Aragon, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. In 1816 the Kingdom united with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and in 1861 the latter entered the United Kingdom of Italy. Until the moment of the fall of the Second Bulgarian State under the dominion of the Ottoman Empire in 1396, the Kingdom of Sicily (and afterwards the Kingdom of Aragon) was even a neighbouring to Bulgaria because during the XIII Century Bulgaria’s Western borders reached to the Adriatic Sea and were in each other’s immediate vicinity. Without making specific research into that question, even the countries’ geographical situation implied that they inevitably had relations and often contacts during the Middle Ages in which also the symbols of the two states played some role, including their heraldic signs, as also did the military-monastic orders and the dynastic orders. As autonomous political entities both Aragon (later on also united Spain) and the Kingdom of Sicily had such chivalric orders. Analogous to this is also the Order of the Collar of Paternó, founded according to some sources the 23rd January 1289 (probably by decree) by King Alfonso II, called later the Order of the Collar of the Holy Virgin Martyr Agatha, and even later on the Order of Saint Agatha of Paternó and the Military Order of the Collar of Saint Agatha, which is a part of the inheritance of the Paternó Dynasty, the Heir to the Crown of Aragon.

  • The Striking of Proof and Pattern Coins in the Eighteenth Century
    THE STRIKING OF PROOF AND PATTERN COINS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY G. P. DYER AND P. P. GASPAR THIS paper records the results of a study of proof, pattern, and currency pieces of the early milled period and of an examination of the surviving tools and dies from that period held by the Royal Mint. These two lines of inquiry began separately, but as the work progressed their inter-relationship became clear and the two finally merged, enabling us not only to formulate objective criteria for the identification of proof strikings but also to postulate a method of production for proof and pattern pieces different from that employed for ordinary coins. In this period proof and pattern coins are, of course, very often readily distinguish- able from their currency counterparts. Patterns by definition present few problems of identification, while on proofs the details of the design are normally more sharply defined and the field is generally superior as a result of the more careful polishing of the surface of the dies. Moreover, in the case of proofs of gold and silver coins, the edge is likely to be plain instead of grained or lettered. Closer examination, however, shows that these visible differences on patterns and proofs can be supplemented by others, less obvious perhaps but arguably more significant for the light they throw on the method of production. The most important of these additional differences relates to the lettering. Attention has often been drawn to the fact that on currency pieces letters with uprights have bases that are frequently fishtailed or bifurcated, and indeed this type of lettering is regarded as one of the most characteristic features of the eighteenth-century coinage.1 By contrast, on proofs and patterns the letter bases are usually square and unindented and seldom show the exaggerated serifs associated with currency pieces.

  • The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England
    The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England MATTHEW WARD, SA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy AUGUST 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, lS23 7BQ www.bl.uk ANY MAPS, PAGES, TABLES, FIGURES, GRAPHS OR PHOTOGRAPHS, MISSING FROM THIS DIGITAL COPY, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY Abstract This study examines the social, cultural and political significance and utility of the livery collar during the fifteenth century, in particular 1450 to 1500, the period associated with the Wars of the Roses in England. References to the item abound in government records, in contemporary chronicles and gentry correspondence, in illuminated manuscripts and, not least, on church monuments. From the fifteenth century the collar was regarded as a potent symbol of royal power and dignity, the artefact associating the recipient with the king. The thesis argues that the collar was a significant aspect of late-medieval visual and material culture, and played a significant function in the construction and articulation of political and other group identities during the period. The thesis seeks to draw out the nuances involved in this process. It explores the not infrequently juxtaposed motives which lay behind the king distributing livery collars, and the motives behind recipients choosing to depict them on their church monuments, and proposes that its interpretation as a symbol of political or dynastic conviction should be re-appraised. After addressing the principal functions and meanings bestowed on the collar, the thesis moves on to examine the item in its various political contexts.

Spain [email protected] Carlos Fuente La Fuente: Camilo Jose Cela University. Spain [email protected] Miguel Ángel Ortiz Sobrino: Complutense University of Madrid. Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT The distinguished Golden Fleece Order is a knighthood order founded in the Bruges city in 1430 by the Duke of Burgundy, Philip III “The Kind”. The creation of this knighthood Order was consequence of the wedding of Philip III and Elizabeth of Portugal. The Order was put under Saint Andrew’s patronage, something that was very frequent among the different knighthood and dynastic Orders who looked for virgin and saints protection. It cannot be forgotten that the different religious and military Orders that emerged in Order to fight against the Islam. The knights couldn’t profess any other faith than the Roman Catholic Apostolic and their origin had to be noble. The admiration that the Duke of Burgundy professed for the Britain Order called “The Garter”, although he could never access it for not inconveniencing the King of France, inspired him to create his own Order: a dynastic Order with a great part of religion and where its members would be knights whose loyalty would power his military power.

  • Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72
    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.
