Questa è una semplificazione che sta a significare “lui/lei” o “suo/sua”, che sarebbe troppo tedioso da specificare ogni volta. Allo stesso modo, il termine “Re” in questo regolamento è utilizzato per indicare il reggente di una Dinastia, anche se è possibile che sia una donna ad ereditare il trono. Nessun giocatore dovrebbe sentirsi escluso dal partecipare per colpa della terminologia utilizzata – se desideri governare l’Europa Medioevale nei panni di una Regina Crociata, non lasciare che nessuno ti possa fermare!

  • Theory of Dynasticism
    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. V VI Acknowledgements In Dietrich Schwanitz’ Bildung. Alles, was man wissen muß, the author notes the danger of appearing to know details about royal families.

  • The New Cambridge Medieval History
    The New Cambridge Medieval History The fourth volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the eleventh and twelfth centuries, which comprised perhaps the most dynamic period in the European middle ages. This is a history of Europe, but the continent is interpreted widely to include the Near East and North Africa as well. The volume is divided into two Parts of which this, the second, deals with the course of events, ecclesiastical and secular, and major developments in an age marked by the transformation of the position of the papacy in a process fuelled by a radical reformation of the church, the decline of the western and eastern empires, the rise of western kingdoms and Italian elites, and the development of governmental structures, the beginnings of the recovery of Spain from the Moors and the establishment of western settlements in the eastern Mediterranean region in the wake of the crusades.

  • England and France in the Middle Ages
    England in the Middle Ages Germanic Invasion In the early fifth century, the Romans had to give up their provinces on the British Isles. Here the Romans had influenced the original Celtic* population in many ways including the development of towns and the spreading of Christianity. But all the Roman armies were needed to defend the continental empire* against Germanic tribes from Northern Europe who were being pushed south by the Huns* or migrating south in search of more fertile 5 lands and a warmer climate. (See chapter on the Migration Period.) In the course of this migration, some Germanic tribes also moved west and settled in England which was no longer protected by the Romans. Possibly, some of these invaders had even been invited: Hengist* and Horsa*, chieftains* of Anglo and Saxon tribes from the continent, helped a local king to fight against his enemies. But they did not leave. Instead, they invited more Angles and Saxons to follow them. Other chieftains followed this 10 example, establishing Germanic kingdoms throughout the major part of England. In this process of Anglo-Saxon settlement, the Celtic people were gradually driven back to the edges of the British Isles. Since their Christianisa- tion in the 6th and 7th century, the Angles and Saxons shared at least the same religious background with the Celts (The Celts had already converted to Christianity in the 4th and 5th century). But all in all the Celtic culture re- mained undisturbed only in hilly areas difficult to conquer such as Wales in the west or Scotland in the north.

  • 1 the Nature and the Identity of the Constitution During the Minority Of
    The Nature and the Identity of the Constitution during the Minority of Henry III (1216-1227) Submitted by Stephen Michael Gates to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Masters by Research in Law in June 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract This thesis investigates the nature of the thirteenth-century constitution by focusing on the minority of Henry III. It is argued that Henry’s succession to the throne was a demonstration of the complicated interaction between hereditary right, designation, and election. It is argued that the distribution of power within the government was, for the most part, ill-defined and varied throughout the minority’s course. It is also argued that there was a fundamental uncertainty about when the minority would end and what role Henry himself would play during the minority. Taken together, it is argued, these demonstrate that Henry’s minority was more of a political settlement than a constitutional settlement. This does not mean that England had no constitution during the thirteenth century but merely that it was more sensitive to the political dynamics of the time than perhaps modern constitutions are and that, compared to modern constitutions, it was much less well defined and lacking a clear unified philosophy.

  • William the Conqueror (William I)
    William the Conqueror (William I) House of Normandy Reign: 25th December 1066 – 9th September 1087 William was crowned king after his victory at the Battle of Hastings. During his reign, many castles and keeps were built to defend England, including the White Tower of the Tower of London. He also ordered the Domesday Book to be compiled which was a survey of all the land owned in the country, its value and what resources it had. visit twinkl.com William II (William Rufus) House of Normandy Reign: 26th September 1087 – 2nd August 1100 William II, son of William the Conqueror, was known as William Rufus due to the red hair he had as a child. As he was his father’s favourite, he was chosen to inherit England while his elder brother was given Normandy to rule. He was seen as a wise ruler and a strong military leader. William died after being shot with an arrow while out hunting. visit twinkl.com Henry I (Henry Beauclerc) House of Normandy Reign: 5th August 1100 – 1st December 1135 Henry, William the Conqueror’s youngest son, seized the throne after William Rufus’ death. He was seen as a harsh but effective ruler, manipulating many of the nobles into supporting him and keeping the country in peace. His only surviving son, William, died in a shipwreck and so he named his daughter, Matilda, as his heir. visit twinkl.com Stephen (Stephen of Blois) House of Blois Reign: 22nd December 1135 – 25th October 1154 After Henry I’s death, Stephen invaded England and had himself crowned instead of Henry’s daughter, Matilda.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

By 1070 the Norman conquest of England was complete. In 1085 the Domesday Survey was begun and all England was recorded so William knew exactly what his new kingdom contained. William introduced the Continental system of feudalism; by the Oath of Salisbury of 1086 all landlords swore allegiance to William, thus establishing the precedent that a vassal's loyalty to the king overrode his fealty to his immediate lord. During a campaign against King Philip I of France, William fell from a horse and was fatally injured. William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy and Arletta, a tanner's daughter. He is sometimes called "William the Bastard".
