  • The Daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the Wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince
    The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince «The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince» by Alexander V. Maiorov Source: Byzantinoslavica ­ Revue internationale des Etudes Byzantines (Byzantinoslavica ­ Revue internationale des Etudes Byzantines), issue: 1­2 / 2014, pages: 188­233, on www.ceeol.com. The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician-Volhynian Prince Alexander V. MAIOROV (Saint Petersburg) The Byzantine origin of Prince Roman’s second wife There is much literature on the subject of the second marriage of Roman Mstislavich owing to the disagreements between historians con- cerning the origin of the Princeís new wife. According to some she bore the name Anna or, according to others, that of Maria.1 The Russian chronicles give no clues in this respect. Indeed, a Galician chronicler takes pains to avoid calling the Princess by name, preferring to call her by her hus- band’s name – “âĺëčęŕ˙ ęí˙ăčí˙ Ðîěŕíîâŕ” (Roman’s Grand Princess).2 Although supported by the research of a number of recent investiga- tors, the hypothesis that she belonged to a Volhynian boyar family is not convincing. Their arguments generally conclude with the observation that by the early thirteenth century there were no more princes in Rusí to whom it would have been politically beneficial for Roman to be related.3 Even less convincing, in our opinion, is a recently expressed supposition that Romanís second wife was a woman of low birth and was not the princeís lawful wife at all.4 Alongside this, the theory of the Byzantine ori- gin of Romanís second wife has been significantly developed in the litera- ture on the subject.

  • Vita a and Called the Previously Known Life of St
    01 Introduction , Germany Life of Lord Norbert, Archbishop of Magdeburg “Vita-A” Translated and Edited by Fr. Theodore J. Antry, O. Praem.[1] Introduction: In 1853 Roger Wilmans discovered in the Royal Library in Berlin, in a 14th century manuscript[2] originating in the former Norbertine Abbey of St. Peter in Brandenburg, a life of St. Norbert which was hitherto unknown. Three years later, in 1856, this Vita was published in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica series.[3] Wilmans believed that this Vita which he discovered predated the Vita which was already known and which was published by the Bollandists in the Acta Sanctorum.[4] He therefore named his discovery Vita A and called the previously known Life of St. Norbert Vita B. Until 1972, when a fragment of a manuscript[5] in Hamburg was identified as a section of Vita A, Wilmans' discovery remained the only copy of this Life of St. Norbert and it remains to this day the only complete edition. The identification of the Hamburg fragment, however, informs us of the fact that there was at least one other copy of Vita A in existence. This fragment also dates from the 14th century. It is slightly damaged since it had been used for binding a book. The following translation is based upon the 1856 edition of Roger Wilmans as found in the Monumenta series. For information on Vita A and its interpretation, I have relied on the Introduction to the Vita Norberti A[6] written by Father W. M. Grauwen, O. Praem. of Postel. This Introduction has been translated into English by Father O.

  • Aristocratic Society in Abruzzo, C.950-1140
    Aristocratic society in Abruzzo, c.950-1140 Felim McGrath A dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Dublin 2014 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. ____________________________ Felim McGrath iii Summary This thesis is an examination of aristocratic society in the Italian province of Abruzzo from the mid-tenth century to the incorporation of the region into the kingdom of Sicily in 1140. To rectify the historiographical deficit that exists concerning this topic, this thesis analyses the aristocracy of Abruzzo from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. It elucidates the political fragmentation apparent in the region before the Norman invasion, the establishment and administration of the Abruzzese Norman lordships and their network of political connections and the divergent political strategies employed by the local aristocracy in response to the Norman conquest. As the traditional narrative sources for the history of medieval southern Italy provide little information concerning Abruzzo, critical analysis of the idiosyncratic Abruzzese narrative and documentary sources is fundamental to the understanding this subject and this thesis provides a detailed examination of the intent, ideological context and utility of these sources to facilitate this investigation. Chapter 1 of this thesis examines the historical and ideological context of the most important medieval Abruzzese source – the chronicle-cartulary of San Clemente a Casauria.

  • Der Kreuzzug Herzog Welfs Und St. Peter in Straubing
    Auf Spurensuche im 12. Jahrhundert: Der Kreuzzug Herzog Welfs und St. Peter in Straubing © Dr. Werner Robl, Berching 2015 Eine Sternstunde Straubings „Solche dramatisch geballten, solche schicksalsträchtigen Stunden, in denen eine zeitüberdauernde Entscheidung auf ein einziges Datum, eine einzige Stunde und oft nur eine Minute zusammengedrängt ist, sind selten im Leben eines Einzelnen und selten im Laufe der Geschichte. Einige solcher Sternstunden – ich habe sie so genannt, weil sie leuchtend und unwandelbar wie Sterne die Nacht der Vergänglichkeit überglänzen – versuche ich hier aus den verschiedensten Zeiten und Zonen zu erinnern …“ Stefan Zweig, Einleitung zu seinen „Sternstunden der Menschheit“, 1927 „Es ist auffällig und eigenartig, dass für Straubing gerade die frühen Quellen und Fun- de schon seit langem weitgehend mustergültig veröffentlicht sind, aber ein Interpretati- onsversuch gerade bezüglich der städtischen Frühform vor 1218 bislang fehlt …“ Wilhelm Störmer, Historiker, † 16. Febr. 2015.1 Die Geburtsstunde Straubings zu definieren fällt schwer. Angesichts einer Siedlungskontinuität, die sich über Jahrtausende erstreckt, könnte man Straubings Geschichte mit den Kelten, Römern, Merowin- gern, Bajuwaren, Karolingern und Wittelsbachern beginnen lassen, ganz wie es beliebt. Wir nehmen uns die oben stehende Aufforderung W. Störmers zu Herzen und konzentrieren uns im Folgenden auf das 12. Jahrhundert, in dem es bereits eine „antiqua civitas Strupinga“2 in ersten Ansätzen gab, und auf jene Sternstunde, in der Wille und der Einsatz eines einzigen Mannes darüber Ausschlag ga- ben, dass der Ort überhaupt eine überregionale Bedeutung erlangen und somit später den Aufstieg zur Stadt nehmen konnte. Nach unserem Dafürhalten handelt es sich um Welf VI., Herzog von Spoleto, Markgraf von Tuszien, Fürst von Sardinien und Korsika, Herr der mathildischen Güter,3 den letzten Vertreter der süddeutschen Linie des Welfen-Hauses.
