    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • Augustus II the Strong's Porcelain Collection at the Japanisches
    Augustus II the Strong’s Porcelain Collection at the Japanisches Palais zu Dresden: A Visual Demonstration of Power and Splendor Zifeng Zhao Department of Art History & Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal September 2018 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts © Zifeng Zhao 2018 i Abstract In this thesis, I examine Augustus II the Strong’s porcelain collection in the Japanisches Palais, an 18th-century Dresden palace that housed porcelains collected from China and Japan together with works made in his own Meissen manufactory. I argue that the ruler intended to create a social and ceremonial space in the chinoiserie style palace, where he used a systematic arrangement of the porcelains to demonstrate his kingly power as the new ruler of Saxony and Poland. I claim that such arrangement, through which porcelains were organized according to their colors and styles, provided Augustus II’s guests with a designated ceremonial experience that played a significant role in the demonstration of the King’s political and financial prowess. By applying Gérard de Lairesse’s color theory and Samuel Wittwer’s theory of “the phenomenon of sheen” to my analysis of the arrangement, I examine the ceremonial functions of such experience. In doing so, I explore the three unique features of porcelain’s materiality—two- layeredness, translucency and sheen. To conclude, I argue that the secrecy of the technology of porcelain’s production was the key factor that enabled Augustus II’s demonstration of power. À travers cette thèse, j'examine la collection de porcelaines d'Auguste II « le Fort » au Palais Japonais, un palais à Dresde du 18ème siècle qui abritait des porcelaines provenant de Chine, du Japon et de sa propre manufacture à Meissen.

  • Os Descendentes De Ero Fernandes (Séculos IX-XII)
    Sobre a ascendência condal entre a aristocracia infancional: os descendentes de Ero Fernandes (séculos IX-XII) About the countly ascentry among the “infancional” aristocracy: the descendents of Ero Fernandes (IX th-XII th century) João Paulo Martins Ferreira Centro de Estudos da População, Economia e Sociedade. Universidade do Porto RESUMO Na sequência dos trabalhos de José Mattoso, os infanções foram sendo descritos como uma classe aris- tocrática heterogénea de terratenentes, que se encontrava na dependência da nobreza condal ou, pelo menos, num patamar secundário em relação a ela. Contudo, o levantamento das linhas familiares pro- venientes de Ero Fernandes permite discernir um parentesco claro com os Baião, uma das linhagens infancionais fundadoras da nobreza portuguesa, e com os Celanova e Trava-Trastâmara, representantes de uma aristocracia condal galego-portuguesa mais recente. Com efeito, importa não só analisar estes laços de parentesco e hierarquia interna da antiga nobreza portucalense (condal e infancional), como também relacionar o sentido ascendente do percurso dos Baião, Celanova e Trava-Trastâmara, com a paulatina decadência da velha aristocracia condal, reequa- cionando a situação histórica de Pedroso enquanto último capítulo deste grupo social. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Infanções; Aristocracia Condal; Ero Fernandes; Baião; Celanova; Trava-Trastâmara; Pedroso; Linhagem e Parentesco. ABSTRACT Following the works of José Mattoso, the “infanções” were described as a heterogeneous aristocratic group of landowners, that were dependents of the families of the old counts of Portugal and Coim- bra or, at least, in a secondary level towards them. However, the reconstitution of the family lines of descendents of Ero Fernandes allows us to assess a clear kinship with the Baião, one of the lineages of “infanções” that founded the Portuguese nobility, and with the Celanova and Trava-Trastâmara, members of a new aristocracy of Galician-Portuguese counts.

  • The Depiction of the Arsacid Dynasty in Medieval Armenian Historiography 207
    Azat Bozoyan The Depiction of the ArsacidDynasty in Medieval Armenian Historiography Introduction The Arsacid, or Parthian, dynasty was foundedinthe 250s bce,detaching large ter- ritories from the Seleucid Kingdom which had been formed after the conquests of Alexander the Great.This dynasty ruled Persia for about half amillennium, until 226 ce,when Ardashir the Sasanian removed them from power.Under the Arsacid dynasty,Persia became Rome’smain rival in the East.Arsacid kingsset up theirrel- ativesinpositions of power in neighbouringstates, thus making them allies. After the fall of the Artaxiad dynasty in Armenia in 66 ce,Vologases IofParthia, in agree- ment with the RomanEmpire and the Armenian royal court,proclaimed his brother Tiridates king of Armenia. His dynasty ruled Armenia until 428 ce.Armenian histor- iographical sources, beginning in the fifth century,always reserved aspecial place for that dynasty. MovsēsXorenacʽi(Moses of Xoren), the ‘Father of Armenian historiography,’ at- tributed the origin of the Arsacids to the Artaxiad kingswho had ruled Armenia be- forehand. EarlyArmenian historiographic sources provide us with anumber of tes- timoniesregarding various representativesofthe Arsacid dynasty and their role in the spread of Christianity in Armenia. In Armenian, as well as in some Syriac histor- ical works,the origin of the Arsacids is related to King AbgarVof Edessa, known as the first king to officiallyadopt Christianity.Armenian and Byzantine historiograph- ical sources associate the adoption of Christianity as the state religion in Armenia with the Arsacid King Tiridates III. Gregory the Illuminator,who playedamajor role in the adoption of Christianity as Armenia’sstate religion and who even became widelyknown as the founder of the Armenian Church, belongstoanother branch of the samefamily.

One, at least, ought to have known better, for he has edited more books of the Puritan epoch than any other man in England.

  • Senatus Aulicus. the Rivalry of Political Factions During the Reign of Sigismund I (1506–1548)
    Jacek Brzozowski Wydział Historyczno-Socjologiczny Uniwersytet w Białymstoku Senatus aulicus. The rivalry of political factions during the reign of Sigismund I (1506–1548) When studying the history of the reign of Sigismund I, it is possible to observe that in exercising power the monarch made use of a very small and trusted circle of senators1. In fact, a greater number of them stayed with the King only during Sejm sessions, although this was never a full roster of sena- tors. In the years 1506–1540 there was a total of 35 Sejms. Numerically the largest group of senators was present in 1511 (56 people), while the average attendance was no more than 302. As we can see throughout the whole exa- mined period it is possible to observe a problem with senators’ attendance, whereas ministers were present at all the Sejms and castellans had the worst attendance record with absenteeism of more than 80%3. On December 15, 1534 1 This type of situation was not specific to the reign of Sigismund I. As Jan Długosz reports, during the Sejm in Sieradz in 1425, in a situation of attacks of the knights against the Council, the monarch suspended public work and summoned only eight trusted councellors. In a letter from May 3, 1429 Prince Witold reprimanded the Polish king for excessively yielding to the Szafraniec brothers – the Cracow Chamberlain – Piotr and the Chancellor of the Crown Jan. W. Uruszczak, Państwo pierwszych Jagiellonów 1386–1444, Warszawa 1999, p. 48. 2 In spite of this being such a small group, it must be noted that it was not internally coherent and homogenous.

The thesis explores the importance of these events for queens as both a personal and public experience, and questions the existence of distinctly Western and Eastern styles of queenship. A comparative study of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ ceremony in the sixteenth century has never been attempted before and sixteenth- century Polish queens usually do not appear in any collective works about queenship, even those which claim to have a pan-European focus.

Miceli** Abstract: Throughout history, religious and political authorities have had a mysterious attraction to each other. Rulers have established state religions and adopted laws with religious origins, sometimes even claiming to have divine powers. We propose a political economy approach to theocracy, centered on the legitimizing relationship between religious and political authorities. Making standard assumptions about the motivations of these authorities, we identify the factors favoring the emergence of theocracy, such as the organization of the religion market, monotheism vs. polytheism, and strength of the ruler. We use two sets of data to test the implications of the model. We first use a unique data set that includes information on over three hundred polities that have been observed throughout history. We also use recently available cross-country data on the relationship between religious and political authorities to examine these issues in current societies. The results provide strong empirical support for our arguments about why in some states religious and political authorities have maintained independence, while in others they have integrated into a single entity.
