Braden von Sobernheim 13th and 14th century battles between Italian City -States were common- place. While folks were always spiteful of their foes, none were more so than the Modenese against the Bolognese. In 1325 at the Battle of Zappolino, 2,000 cava- liers and 5,000 foot soldiers in the Modenese army defeated a poorly organized Bolognese army of 30,000 foot and 2,000 cavaliers. When the Modenese won (in one of the bloodiest battles that Italy has ever seen – 2,000 dead in 1 battle), the Modenese had a little athletic contest and Fair outside the city walls of Bologna, went in and stole the bucket from the city well, and took it home. For centuries the wood bucket hung from a rope in the Cathedral of Modena, and is now displayed in a case in the basement of the town hall to commemorate the victory. So even now, almost 700 years later, it’s not “Dude we kicked your butt,” it’s “Dude, we kicked your butt AND stole your bucket.” They got pwned. And now you know more random carp. Pic from L to R : Balenor, Reigar, Brandt, Bran, Garrick. Blast From the Past Once upon a time a band of miscreants set out from the Shire of Wealdsmere in search of battle. It was found in the mountains of An Tir at the Alpine Pass War. This was one of the few wars that had a castle. It was made of plywood, had a gate, and 6 -foot walls. During the castle siege scenario it was the job of this little band to pa- trol the outside of the walls and keep those inside from causing any havoc. Garrick, being 6 -foot -seven and wielding a long one -handed axe, was the only one that was having any fun. As those inside were repelling all efforts to storm the gate, and because we were bored, we picked up Reigar and threw him over the wall. That caused all kinds of commotion on the inside, the gate was breached, and the battle won. There was much rejoic- ing. The evening feast was a crowded affair in the lodge, and we were called forward to be given the Award for Extreme Bravery. Navigating the tables was impossible, so we walked on the tables to the front of the hall, tower- ing above all. Henceforth and forevermore we were known as THE BRAVE GUYS. Revered throughout the kingdom, always the mercenaries in demand, and immortalized in song.... "Yeah we have our Brits, And we have our Celts, Got lots of favors, Hanging from our belts, Hey, Hey, we're the Brave Guys!"

This study is meant to illuminate the lives of the women in the Anglo-Norman chronicles at every stage of life. While many modern books have addressed medieval women, they have attempted to deal with women more generally, looking at many areas and societies over hundreds of years. Other modern historians have focused on a few select women using evidence from the same Anglo-Norman chronicles used in this study.

  • Reading Abbey
    INTRODUCTION TO THIS SPECIAL EDITION ON READING ABBEY Reading Abbey: Intellectual and Artistic Culture in an International Context Lindy Grant University of Reading Reading Abbey rarely receives the attention it deserves.1 Its physical remains are a battered shell, in what until fairly recently was an unsympathetic urban environment, and it simply cannot compete with the cluttered grandeur of Westminster, or the magnificence and completeness of Canterbury, or the romantic ruin of so many of our great Cistercian abbeys. But it should attract our attention, for when it was founded, Reading was one of the most important religious institutions in northern Europe. It should be studied and understood within a broad European context. This is what the papers in this collection aim to do. Reading Abbey had close connections with the Anglo-Norman and Angevin kings. It was founded by Henry I around 1121 as his mausoleum. Henry died in Normandy, but his body was brought back for burial at Reading, as he intended, and was buried before the high altar in January 1136. When Henry founded the abbey, he was still mourning the death of his revered wife, Matilda of Scotland, and of his son and heir, William Adelin, who had drowned in the White Ship disaster. He had just remarried – to Adeliza of Louvain, in the hope that this would bring him a new heir. So from the start, Reading Abbey was intimately linked to death, birth and commemoration of the English royal family.2 The abbey was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the intercessor for mankind at death.

Despite this, no consensus has been reached among historians as to the reason for their continued use, with the notable exception of ensuring the production of a legitimate heir. This thesis will argue that the creation and maintenance of alliances was the most important motivating factor for English, Castilian and Aragonese monarchs. Territorial concerns, such as the protection and acquisition of lands, as well as attempts to secure peace between warring kingdoms, were also influential elements considered when arranging dynastic marriages. Other less common motives which were specific to individual marriages depended upon the political, economic, social and dynastic priorities of the time in which they were contracted.

  • The Latin Life of Gruffudd Ap Cynan, British Kingdoms and The
    THE LATIN LIFE OF GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, BRITISH KINGDOMS AND THE SCANDINAVIAN PAST Emily A. Winkler {John Cowdrey Junior Research Fellow in History,} St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford {Departmental Lecturer in Early Medieval History,} Balliol College, University of Oxford {Teaching Fellow, Department of History,} University College London we only give the institution; and normally only one; however, if your employment is fairly evenly divided among these three institutions, we could put ‘University of Oxford and University College London’ OK—and yes, division relatively even over past couple of years Abstract The article examines the representation and purpose of dynastic struggle in the twelfth- century Latin Life of Gruffudd ap Cynan. Understudied despite the publication of Paul Russell’s edition (2005), the Vita Griffini Filii Conani remains a missing piece of a larger puzzle: the flourishing of Latin historical writing in eleventh- and twelfth-century Britain and northern Europe. This article sets the Vita in its wider British and European context, and assesses the significance of Gruffudd’s Scandinavian heritage against the realities of political experience. It argues that the Vita’s portrayal of dynasty and dynastic conflict, set on the great stage of the North Sea zone, seeks to establish the legitimacy of a ruler who was both an outsider and of Scandinavian descent. The reality of invasion and conquest in the British Isles demanded new Latin histories wherein Scandinavian dynasties could be a key source of legitimacy, and the Vita needs to be read as part of this larger discourse. Winkler 1 The twelfth-century Latin Life of Gruffudd ap Cynan, which was later translated into Welsh, presents us with a unique perspective on the past.1 It tells the story of Gruffudd (d.

  • King Henry 1 1068 – 1135 : “Beauclerc”
    King Henry 1 1068 – 1135 : “Beauclerc” The youngest and most able of William the Conqueror's and Matilda’s sons, Henry was the only Norman King of England to be born in the country. He strengthened the crown's executive powers and modernised royal administration. Tradition holds that Henry was born in Selby in 1068 or 1069, the fourth son of William the Conqueror. As a fourth son, it was never expected that he would reign, so he was trained in "book learning". This academic background enabled him to be a very capable ruler. Coming to power When elder brother William Rufus died whilst on a hunting expedition in the New Forest in August 1100, some say it was an accident, others that it was the assassination of an unloved leader. Whatever the reason, Henry hastened to Winchester, where he was crowned king before his elder brother, and rightful heir Robert could return from abroad. Military power lay with the barons, several of whom maintained support for Robert, making Henry’s succession precarious. He quickly bought support by reconciliation with the church, a return to the laws of earlier in the 11th century and making wide- ranging concessions in his “Charter of Liberties”. Four key clauses were 1. I shall remit all debts and pleas which were owing to my brother, except those which were lawfully made through an inheritance 2. I impose a strict peace on the land, and command it be maintained. 3 I restore the law of King Edward (the Confessor) and the amendments which my father introduced upon the advice of his barons.

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".
