Though it took to the end of the seven- teenth century for the modem law of nations, based on the idea of state sover- eignty, to be formed, the roots of many of its concepts and institutions can be situated in this period2 .

  • Imperial Ladies of the Ottonian Dynasty: Women and Rule in Tenth-Century Germany
    2019 VI Imperial Ladies of the Ottonian Dynasty: Women and Rule in Tenth-Century Germany Phyllis G. Jestice New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018 Review by: Fraser McNair Review by: Agata Zielinska Review: Imperial Ladies of the Ottonian Dynasty: Women and Rule in Tenth-Century Germany Imperial Ladies of the Ottonian Dynasty: Women and Rule in Tenth-Century Germany. By Phyllis G. Jestice. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. ISBN 978-3-319- 77305-6. xi+300 pp. £79.99. ne of the questions Phyllis Jestice confronts in her new book on the Ottonian rulers Adelaide and Theophanu is whether or not the tenth century was a ‘golden age’ for women. Certainly, we are O at the moment living through a golden age in the study of tenth- century women, and particularly of Ottonian queenship. Imperial Ladies of the Ottonian Dynasty is the third major English-language monograph on Ottonian queens to be released in the last two years. This interest is very welcome: as Jestice notes, these are not works of ‘women’s history,’ but studies of political history that focus on some of the most important European figures of their times. Given how many mysteries remain about theories and practices of tenth-century government, this is self-evidently worthwhile. Jestice concentrates on Empresses Adelaide and Theophanu. After the unexpected death of Otto II, these empresses were able to beat out the young emperor Otto III’s cousin Henry of Bavaria and successfully act as regents during the 980s and 990s, despite Henry’s seemingly overwhelming initial advantages in competing for the position.

  • Medieval Dynasties in Medieval Studies: a Historiographic Contribution*
    Medieval Dynasties in Medieval Studies: A Historiographic Contribution* Dušan Zupka Abstract ZUPKA, Dušan: Medieval Dynasties in Medieval Studies: A Historiographic Contribution. The article provides an overview of the current research on the notion, idea and perception of dynasties in medieval Europe. It deals with a variety of studies and books that focus on dynasty and dynastic historical writing within Central Europe, as well as outside this region. The main goal is to provide a selection of examples of how the notion of dynasty can be used in current historiographic discourse. First and foremost, dynasty in medieval studies seems to be (to a certain extent) another intellectual construct applied to the period in question. Just like any other similar concepts, like medieval, feudalism, ritual, community, etc., it helps historians to describe our modern understanding of the phenomena. As a result, dynasty has become a highly fashionable term and a popular recurring theme used in the historiography of the Middle Ages. Medieval dynasties are defined based on family, kinship and shared tradition. In fact, they should not be seen only as a biological line of relatives, but, even more importantly, as a political construct. Last, but by no means least, dynasty should always be scrutinized in connection with genealogy, idoneity and legitimacy. Keywords: medieval studies, dynasty, historiography, dynastic history, Central Europe, ruling power, ge- nealogy DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/forhist.2019.13.2.6 This was the period in which the Welfs identified themselves as Welfs.

  • Names of Saints and Dynastic Name-Giving in Hungary in the 10-14Th Centuries in a Central and Eastern European Context1
    Names of saints and dynastic name-giving in Hungary in the 10-14th centuries in a central and eastern European context1 Mariann SLÍZ Introduction: the relevance of investigating dynastic name-giving In this paper, I will survey the fairly complex relationship between medieval cults of saints and name-giving in royal dynasties in the Mid- dle Ages. However, before descending to particulars, I ought to account for the onomastic value of the investigation of this topic and for the use of the term dynastic naming or name-giving by emphasizing two obser- vations. Firstly, there are unambiguous differences between the name stocks of dynasties and the name stocks of the whole population of their countries; and secondly, there are unequivocal similarities in the naming practices of different dynasties. These two facts make name-giving in royal houses a special phenomenon. Although dynastic naming is con- fined only to a narrow stratum of the society, the differences and simi- larities between the name-giving practises of royal families and of their peoples may deserve the attention of onomasticians. As for the differences between the name stocks of the dynasties and of the populations, we can mention the names Farkas (‘Wolf’), Jakab (‘Jacob’), János (‘John’) and Miklós (‘Nicholas’) from Medi- eval Hungary. While they were amongst the most popular names in the 11-13th century in the whole population (cf. Benkő 1950, p. 23), none of them appeared in the name stock of the House of the Árpáds. The inverse of this phenomenon can also be observed: while the names Charles and Louis were frequent among the Anjous of Naples and of Hungary, Károly (‘Charles’) and Lajos (‘Louis’) were extraor- dinarily rare in the Angevin Age in Hungary (14th century).2 1 This paper was supported by the Bolyai János Research Scholarship of the Hun- garian Academy of Sciences.

    Theory of Dynasticism Actors, Interests, and Strategies of Medieval Dynasties Sindre Gade Viksand Master’s Thesis Department of Political Science University of Oslo Spring 2017 I II Theory of Dynasticism Actors, Interests, and Strategies of Medieval Dynasties Sindre Gade Viksand III © Sindre Gade Viksand 2017 Theory of Dynasticism. Actors, Interests, and Strategies of Medieval Dynasties Sindre Gade Viksand http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Grafisk Senter AS Word Count: 33 363 IV Abstract Dynasticism has emerged as common concept to refer to the logics of rule in pre-modern international systems. This thesis will attempt both to theorise the concept, as well as developing an ideal-typical framework to analyse one of the most important strategies of the dynasty: the dynastic marriage. It will be argued that the dynamics of dynasticism arose from the changing structures to the European family around AD 1000. These structural changes gave further rise to hierarchies among dynastic actors, interests, and strategies, which will form the basis of a theory of dynasticism. This theory will be utilised to make sense of the various interests involved in creating matrimonial strategies for the dynasty. The argument advanced is that dynastic heirs married according to logics of reproduction; dynastic cadets married for territorial acquisitions; and dynastic daughters married to establish and maintain alliances with other dynasties. These theoretical insights will be used to analyse the marriages of three dynasties in medieval Europe: the Plantagenet, the Capet, and the Hohenstaufen.

BARKER UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON. U.S.A. Abstract: The uses of matrimony have always been standard practices for dynastic advancement through the ages. A perfect case study involves two important Italian families whose machinations had local implications and widespread international extensions. Their competitions are given particular point by the fact that one of the two families, the House of Savoy, was destined to become the dynasty around which the Modern State of Italy was created. This essay is, in part, a study in dynastic genealogies. But it is also a reminder of the wide impact of the crusading movements, beyond military operations and the creation of ephemeral Latin States in the Holy Land.

  • Bavaria the Bavarians Emerged in a Region North of the Alps, Originally Inhabited by the Celts, Which Had Been Part of the Roman Provinces of Rhaetia and Noricum
    Bavaria The Bavarians emerged in a region north of the Alps, originally inhabited by the Celts, which had been part of the Roman provinces of Rhaetia and Noricum. The Bavarians spoke Old High German but, unlike other Germanic groups, did not migrate from elsewhere. Rather, they seem to have coalesced out of other groups left behind by Roman withdrawal late in the 5th century AD. These peoples may have included Marcomanni, Thuringians, Goths, Rugians, Heruli, and some remaining Romans. The name "Bavarian" ("Baiuvari") means "Men of Baia" which may indicate Bohemia, the homeland of the Marcomanni. They first appear in written sources circa 520. Saint Boniface completed the people's conversion to Christianity in the early 8th century. Bavaria was, for the most part, unaffected by the Protestant Reformation, and even today, most of it is strongly Roman Catholic. From about 550 to 788, the house of Agilolfing ruled the duchy of Bavaria, ending with Tassilo III who was deposed by Charlemagne. Three early dukes are named in Frankish sources: Garibald I may have been appointed to the office by the Merovingian kings and married the Lombard princess Walderada when the church forbade her to King Chlothar I in 555. Their daughter, Theodelinde, became Queen of the Lombards in northern Italy and Garibald was forced to flee to her when he fell out with his Frankish over- lords. Garibald's successor, Tassilo I, tried unsuccessfully to hold the eastern frontier against the expansion of Slavs and Avars around 600. Tassilo's son Garibald II seems to have achieved a balance of power between 610 and 616.

  • All in the Family: Creating a Carolingian Genealogy in the Eleventh Century*
    All in the family: creating a Carolingian genealogy in the eleventh century* Sarah Greer The genre of genealogical texts experienced a transformation across the tenth century. Genealogical writing had always been a part of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but the vast majority of extant genealogies from the continent before the year 1000 are preserved in narrative form, a literary account of the progression from one generation to another. There were plenty of biblical models for this kind of genealogy; the book of Genesis is explicitly structured as a genealogy tracing the generations that descended from Adam and Eve down to Joseph.1 Early medieval authors could directly imitate this biblical structure: the opening sections of Thegan’s Deeds of Louis the Pious, for example, traced the begetting of Charlemagne from St Arnulf; in England, Asser provided a similarly shaped presentation of the genealogia of King Alfred.2 In the late tenth/early eleventh century, however, secular genealogical texts witnessed an explosion of interest. Genealogies of kings began to make their way into narrative historiographical texts with much greater regularity, shaping the way that those histories themselves were structured.3 The number of textual genealogies that were written down increased exponentially and began to move outside of the royal family to include genealogies of noble families in the West Frankish kingdoms and Lotharingia.4 Perhaps most remarkable though, is that these narrative genealogies began – for the first time – to be supplemented by new diagrammatic forms. The first extant genealogical tables of royal and noble families that we possess date from exactly this period, the late tenth and eleventh centuries.5 The earliest forms of these diagrams were relatively plain.
