Enlightened Monarchy” in Practice

Reforms, Ceremonies, Self-Fashioning and the Entanglement of Ideals and Values in Late Eighteenth-Century Sweden Henrika Tandefelt This article sets out to study the entanglement of different political, ideological and moral ideals and traditions in the Kingship of Gustav III, King of Sweden 1772–1792. Political thinking and practice in Eighteenth-Century Europe offered many elements and examples that different monarchs could apply in their own particular circumstances. Gustav III was one of the European Kings that openly supported the French enlightened thinkers fashioning himself as a Reformer-King. He was also very influenced by the French culture over all, and the culture of the traditional royal court in particular. In addition the Swedish political history with a fifty-year period of decreased royal power before the coup d’état of Gustav III in 1772 influenced how the European trends and traditions were put into practice. The article pursues to understand the way different elements were bound up together and put to action by the King in his coup d’état 1772, his law reforms in the 1770s and in the establishment of a court of appeal in the town Vasa in Ostrobothnia in 1776 and the ceremonial, pictorial and architectural projects linked to this. In this article I examine what has been called the enlightened absolutism of the Swedish king Gustav III (1746–1792) during his reign of 1772–1792. Gustav III’s reign began with a royal coup d’état in August 1772 and ended with the king being murdered during a masquerade ball at the Royal Opera in Stockholm in March 1792. -
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. -
Settlement of French Royalist Refugees in York County, Upper Canada, 1798
CCHA, Report, 7 (1939-40), 11-26 The Windham or “Oak Ridges” Settlement of French Royalist Refugees in York County, Upper Canada, 1798 BY THE REV. BROTHER ALFRED [DOONER], F.S.C., LL.D. The settlement of French Catholic émigrés south of “Oak Ridges,” some fifteen miles north of the present City of Toronto, in 1798, had its origin in political events in Europe. The outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 was marked by a most violent persecution of the French clergy and religious. These faithful servants of God and King were pursued like beasts of prey, proscribed and outlawed. Priests who remained on French soil were forced to choose between apostacy and death. Faced by this dilemma, thousands of them, both young and old, preferring to obey God rather than man, took, overnight, the road to exile, leaving behind them all that they possessed in this world. Besides those who sought an asylum in Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, etc., thousands fled to England and to the Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. A number, directed by the Sulpician Fathers of Paris, came to the newly-formed United States of America,1 and forty-five, in their misery, found a refuge in French Canada. Besides these members of the clergy, thousands of Catholic laymen of the best blood of France were also forced into exile because of their attachment to the Royalist Cause. A colony of these Royalist refugees, directed and assisted by the British Government, arrived in York, Upper Canada, in the autumn of 1798. They formed the Windham2 or “Oak Ridges” settlement. -

The 1394 Governance Code for the Joseon Dynasty of Korea by Jeong Do-Jeon
Revitalization of Ancient Institutions: The 1394 Governance Code for the Joseon Dynasty of Korea by Jeong Do-jeon By Kyongran Chong A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Languages and Cultures Victoria University of Wellington (2018) Abstract The Code of Governance for the Joseon Dynasty written by Jeong Do-jeon in 1394 was the first legal document written in justification of a new Korean dynasty. The eminent Korean historian Han Young-woo has credited the political scheme formulated in the Code for promoting democratic ideas of power separation. This study argues that the Code cannot be considered as an attempt to introduce a new power structure in this way, as it was primarily concerned with revitalizing idealized Confucian institutions mobilized by the ideological force of weixin 維新 (revitalization) of guzhi 古制 (ancient institutions) and with creating a society modelled on Confucian values and hierarchical order laid out in the Chinese work, the Zhouli (Rites of Zhou). In his Code, Jeong used this system of government structure as the principle of ancient state institutions, to justify the position of the new Joseon throne, and he also adopted the legal format of the 1331 Yuan law book, Jingshi dadian, in which royal authority took precedence over that of the government. This study emphasizes not only Jeong Do-jeon’s conservative adherence to the continuity of state institutions from the previous Goryeo dynasty (a replica of the Chinese Tang and Song systems), but also the priority he gave to the new Joseon monarch as a stabilizing force within the new dynasty, and argues that the Code was written to ensure continuity and priority, and cannot be considered as an attempt to introduce a new power structure. -

Power and Generational Transition in Saudi Arabia
POWER AND GENERATIONAL TRANSITION IN SAUDI ARABIA By Nabil Mouline Problems of political succession are a major trend in Arab-Islamic history. They were at the origin of the greatest political-religious schisms of the umma (the Muslim community). Though they have not been able to avoid quarrels over succession, all Islamic currents have at least tried to alleviate them. While the religious elite sought ideal-typical models of succession in a mythologized Muslim tradition, Muslim sovereigns preferred to draw from pre-Islamic local or foreign traditions to ensure the continuity of power.1 Given the patrimonial nature of almost all Islamic states, the solutions recommended by the ulama and the traditions adopted by sovereigns had only limited results. In most cases of succession, the super-abundance of heirs led to numerous conflicts, which in their turn brought about wars of succession and foreign intervention. In order to resolve these problems, Ottoman sovereigns turned to the cruel law of fratricide, before adopting the less expeditious practice of 1 Anilchandra Banerjee, “Procedure of Succession to the Sultanate of Delhi”, Journal of Indian History, 15, 1936, pp.196-200; Henri Laoust, La pensée et l’action politiques d’al-Mawardi (364-450/974-1058), Paris, Geuthner, 1968; Neeru Misra, Succession and Imperial Leadership among the Mughals, 1526-1707, Delhi, Konark Publishers, 1993; Peter M.

Title: The Political and Constitutional Significance of the Exclusion Crisis of 1678-1681. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Ann Weikel ci;·~.: --- - ·-- - - ~ /Susan C. Karant-Nunn Frank 1n C. West ' , By examining the attacks waged against the royal prerogative during the Exclusion Crisis of 1678-1681, this thesis asserts that the crisis was primarily constitutional in nature, rather than religious. This Parliamentary attempt to remove the Catholic heir presumptive from the succession endangered the monarchy by creating a Parliamentary title to the throne. Insofar as the exclusionists challenged the king's right to retain ministers at will, to grant pardons, and to determine the calling and dissolution of Parliamentary sessions, the crisis also constituted a direct assault upon the prerogatives of the present king.
