It is hard at times to take the Agincourt Carol entirely seriously. Patriotism of such brash exuberance seems more properly to belong in a brightly lit Laurence Olivier world of mid twentieth-century medievalism than amid the grim and tangled realities of fifteenth- century politics and war. Yet these words, and the hardly less tub- thumping verses which follow, cannot date from long after the bat- tle; and the assumptions upon which they rest merit some reflection.1 God has favoured Henry V and his cause in France; therefore let England give God thanks. The divinely favoured monarch is paired with his Chosen People, those new Israelites the English, in whose This article is based on a seminar given at the GHIL on 30 October 2008. I have benefited greatly from the comments of Professor Michael Prestwich on an earlier draft of this paper. 1 Printed in Anne Curry, The Battle of Agincourt: Sources and Interpretations (Woodbridge, 2000), 283–4; and see V.

By the time of Agincourt, God was not only a Lancastrian; he was an Englishman.2 God, king, and people stand, it seems, in perfect har- mony. And the same God who favoured the English had spurned their French foes: against the Chosen are pitted the damned, con- signed to stew in their own disgrace ‘tyl domesday’. It is instructive to contemplate Henry in his hour of glory along- side another European prince of his day: Rupert of Wittelsbach, Count Palatine of the Rhine and ruler of the western Roman Empire, the close of whose reign (1400–10) overlapped with the start of Henry’s own.3 But there, it seems, the parallels end.4 Rupert was a monarch with no resounding triumphs to his name and few dis- cernible marks of divine favour. It was Rupert’s modest, mostly stay- at-home reign that drew from the conciliarist Dietrich von Niem the tart observation that the king had evidently embraced the student’s maxim, that there is no life outside Heidelberg, site of Rupert’s court.5 While the Agincourt poet lauded Henry, a near-contemporary versifier was heaping scorn upon the goeckelman—the ‘travelling trickster’—on the imperial throne, who made his rounds clutching an 2 John W.

It was only with the aid of handouts from the Venetians that the penniless monarch was able to return to Germany from his shamefully ineffectual foray into Italy in 1401.7 There was no raptur- ous homecoming. What, after all, was there for Rupert to come home to? Certainly no teeming capital, like the London through which, late in 1415, Henry was to pass. Throughout the city’s public spaces, the message of the Agincourt Carol was spelt out for all to see. The royal arms were repeatedly displayed, linked to religious motifs praising God for the English victory. Tapestries portrayed the glorious deeds of the king’s ancestors, merging triumphant present with a glorious and continuous, legitimizing royal past.8 At London Bridge, the figure of a giant proffered the keys to the city. Henry entered like another Brutus of Albion, the realm’s primal founder-hero and conqueror of giants.9 Thus might the rich doctrinal resources of an ancient and illustrious monarchy be combined with an extended urban stage-set and vast public to enact a powerfully patriotic religion of royalty.10 Few locations in Europe offered comparable opportunities; and there appear to have been none in Germany. It was not through an abstract deity alone that Henry’s victory had come, however, but with the aid of the English people’s own heavenly intercessor. Just a few months after Agincourt, Archbishop Chichele elevated the feast of St George, ‘special patron and protec- tor of the nation’, to the status of a ‘major double’ in Canterbury province: people were to leave their work and attend divine servic- es.11 George was a saint for the (English) people, dedicatee of numer- 6 ‘O o der goeckelman ist kumen|hat ein lere taschen praht,|das hab wir wol vernumen.’ Cited in Schubert, ‘Probleme der Königsherrschaft’, 178. 7 Heinz Thomas, Deutsche Geschichte des Spätmittelalters 1250–1500 (Stuttgart, 1983), 342–5. 8 Thus the account of Tito Livio Frulovisi, Vita Henrici Quinti, trans. in Curry, Battle of Agincourt, 267. 9 Gesta Henrici Quinti: The Deeds of Henry the Fifth, ed. and trans.

Her much-visit- ed shrine at Walsingham helped sustain a patriotically tinged devo- tion which imagined the realm as her ‘dowry’.14 The rose, Marian emblem of purity and election, was projected onto the English and their land—Anglia regna, mundi rosa, in one fourteenth-century poet’s celebrated formulation. Predictably, the ‘flower without thorn’ was contrasted with a debased and treacherous Francia.15 Long-running war lent polemical urgency to such images and encouraged their rep- etition, drawing from English versifiers a strident horticultural tri- umphalism, in which the English rose trounced that other national- ized Marian emblem, the lily of France.16 Harriss (ed.), Henry V: The Practice of Kingship (Oxford, 1985), 107–8; Christopher Allmand, Henry V (London, 1992), 120.

  • The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the D
    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.
