And as the great respect thus shown to noble birth and ancient descent reflects so much honour on its possessors, so also are connected with it those proud emblems of armorial family history, and which tends so correctly to point out and preserve the observance of a due and requisite subordination between the several ranks and degrees of mankind.” (Nicholas Carlisle, 1822). d‟Aubigny/Fitzalan (Earls of Arundel) The descent is from Alice Fitzalan, the daughter of Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel (1305-75/76) and Eleanor of Lancaster (1318-71/72).

GRAEME SMALL The Scottish Court in the Fifteenth Century A view from Burgundy Looking at the world of the Scottish court in the fifteenth century, the view from Burgundy was often far from positive. The exile of the Lancastrian royal family in Scotland in 1461, for example, was portrayed in the official ducal chronicle of George Chastelain as a miserable experience. Chastelain records an incident wherein Mar- garet of Anjou was forced to beg, from a tight-fisted Scots archer, for the loan of a groat to make her offering at Mass1. Scottish royal records show that the treatment the queen received was rather more generous, and we may suspect that Chastelain’s colourful account was influenced by literary topoi of long pedigree2.

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 . While all this might be true in retrospect, it would be by far overstretching the point to state that the victory of the emerging sovereign state over the medieval system was a foregone conclusion for the politicians and lawyers of * I am greatly indebted to professor James Crawford (Cambridge), professor Karl- Heinz Ziegler (Hamburg) and Mrs. Norah Engmann-Gallagher for their comments and suggestions, as well as to the board and staff of the Lauterpacht Research Centre for Inter- national Law at the University of Cambridge for their hospitality during the period I worked there on this article.

    Borso D'este, Venice, and Pope Paul II

    I quaderni del m.æ.s. – XVIII / 2020 «Bon fiol di questo stado» Borso d’Este, Venice, and pope Paul II: explaining success in Renaissance Italian politics Richard M. Tristano Abstract: Despite Giuseppe Pardi’s judgment that Borso d’Este lacked the ability to connect single parts of statecraft into a stable foundation, this study suggests that Borso conducted a coherent and successful foreign policy of peace, heightened prestige, and greater freedom to dispose. As a result, he was an active participant in the Quattrocento state system (Grande Politico Quadro) solidified by the Peace of Lodi (1454), and one of the most successful rulers of a smaller principality among stronger competitive states. He conducted his foreign policy based on four foundational principles. The first was stability. Borso anchored his statecraft by aligning Ferrara with Venice and the papacy. The second was display or the politics of splendor. The third was development of stored knowledge, based on the reputation and antiquity of Estense rule, both worldly and religious. The fourth was the politics of personality, based on Borso’s affability, popularity, and other virtues. The culmination of Borso’s successful statecraft was his investiture as Duke of Ferrara by Pope Paul II. His success contrasted with the disaster of the War of Ferrara, when Ercole I abandoned Borso’s formula for rule. Ultimately, the memory of Borso’s successful reputation was preserved for more than a century.

The first part presents general information about the origins of Duke Barnim I, his son Duke Bogusław IV, and Duchess Matilda. The subsequent part shows their political activity and achievements as rulers. The family background had an immense influence on each one’s decisions. The pivotal point of the last section of this paper is to elaborate the political struggle between Duke Bogusław IV and his stepmother, Duchess Matilda.

  • 1St Wife of Emp.Isaakios II

    1St Wife of Emp.Isaakios II

    [EIRENE?], FIRST WIFE OF EMP. ISAAKIOS II -349- [EIRENE?], FIRST WIFE OF EMPEROR ISAAKIOS II ANGELOS, IS A PROBABLE TORNIKINA AND GATEWAY TO ANTIQUITY by Don C Stone1 and Charles R Owens ABSTRACT In most printed histories and reference works the first wife of Byzantine Emperor Isaakios II Angelos is described as unknown. She had married Isaakios, borne him several children, and died, all before Isaakios became emperor. In Section 1 we review evidence relating to the name of this first wife and some relationships that might involve her, concluding that she is very likely the daughter of Demetrios Tornikes, logothetes of the dromos (foreign minister) of emperors Isaakios II and Alexios III. In Section 2 we present a genealogical sketch of the Tornikes family, noting biographical details that further support this parentage. Foundations (2011) 3 (5): 349-390 © Copyright FMG and the authors 1. Her Name and Some Relationships and Titles Five sources from the time of Emperor Isaakios II Angelos (d.1204) or slightly thereafter give or might give information about his first wife: 1. Her name was given as Herina [Eirene] in the necrology of Speyer Cathedral, where her son-in-law Philipp, second husband of her daughter Eirene-Maria, is buried. 2. The Byzantine official Konstantinos Tornikes was called the theios (uncle) of Emp. Alexios IV Angelos (son of Emp. Isaakios II Angelos and the latter’s first wife) in December 1203 in an act of the monastery of Patmos. 3. Euthymios Tornikes, brother of Konstantinos, called himself despotes in a eulogy for Emp. Alexios III in 1201.

    Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony

    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.
