Götz Von Berlichingen GÖTZ VON BERLICHINGEN: SOLDIER, ENTREPRENEUR, RACONTEUR by Bradley M. Fansher A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Thesis Committee: Dr. Suzanne Sutherland, Chair Dr. Molly Taylor-Poleskey Middle Tennessee State University August 2020 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the life and times of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a German nobleman known for his iron fist and his legendary feuds. It argues that three identities defined Götz: a soldier, an entrepreneur, and a raconteur. The different layers of Götz’s identity emerged in response to the challenges in his life that sprang from the changes of the sixteenth century. These changes included the growth of the state, the decline of the nobility, the divisiveness of the Reformation, and the advent of a world view based on measurement. Despite some costly missteps, Götz responded well to new circumstances, so that by the end of his life he was more prosperous than many of his noble peers. Through a close reading of Götz’s autobiography, a social network analysis, and a comparative spatial study, the thesis elucidates the means of and the mentality behind Götz’s success. ii TABLE OF

Forty years later, Götz became the most famous knight of the sixteenth century when a young playwright by the name of Johann Wolfgang Goethe used the memoir as the inspiration for his first successful drama, Götz von Berlichingen of the Iron Hand. Goethe’s Götz was a proto-nationalist German hero who died with freedom on his lips.2 This characterization could not have been more different from that of Johannes Müllner, author of the Annals of the Imperial City of Nuremberg, who described Götz as a robber and a bandit.3 1 On Götz von Berlichingen, see Helgard Ulmschneider, Götz von Berlichingen: Ein adeliges Leben der deutschen Renaissance (Sigmaringen: Jan Thorbecke Verlag, 1974); Henry J.

  • Confraternitas : the Newsletter of the Society for Confraternity Studies
    Hartmut von Cronberg's Statutes of the Heavenly Confraternity. A Perspective from the Early Reformation VICTOR D. THIESSEN In his 1 520 Open Letter to the Christian Nobility ofthe German Nation, Martin Luther called upon secular authorities to reform a number of ecclesiastical institutions and implied that some institutions could be abolished outright. Bruderschaften (confrater- nities) were included in this list. In a brief comment Luther observed that confrater- nities distributed indulgences, masses, and good works, elements of contemporary religious practice for which he had little use. Luther allowed that confraternities that truly served the poor and needy should be maintained, but he believed that such confraternities were no longer to be found. Instead, he believed that by and large confraternities no longer served the common good, and merely sponsored banquets and heavy drinking. Playing with the word Bruderschaft, Luther emphasized the aspect of "fellowship," claiming that all baptized members of the church had fellowship with Christ, the angels and saints in heaven, and all believers on earth; thus, the confraternity of the church was the only necessary fellowship that a true Christian needed. In his 1520 open letter An den christilichen Adel deutscher Nation, Luther wrote: "I am speaking also of brotherhoods in which indulgences, masses, and good works are apportioned. My dear friend, in your baptism you have entered into a brotherhood with Christ, with all the angels, with the saints, and with all Christians on earth. Hold fast to them and live up to their demands for you have enough brotherhoods. Let the others glitter as they will.

  • The King and His Army: a New Perspective on the Military in 18Th Century Brandenburg-Prussia
    international journal of military history and historiography 39 (2019) 34-62 IJMH brill.com/ijmh The King and His Army: A New Perspective on the Military in 18th Century Brandenburg-Prussia Carmen Winkel* Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Al Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia [email protected] Abstract Brandenburg-Prussia has always occupied a special place in the German-speaking historiography. However, this has not resulted in a particularly differentiated state of research. Rather, the Prussian military of the 18th century is still characterized by at- tributes such as ‘monarchic’ and ‘absolutist, which unreflectively continues the narra- tives of 19th-century historiography. This article is explicitly challenging this image by assuming a differentiated concept of rulership as well as of the military in the 18th cen- tury. Using the aristocratic elites, it will examine how Frederick William I (1713–1740) and Frederick II (1740–1786) ruled the army, and ruled using the army. Keywords Brandenburg-Prussia – Absolutism – Frederick II – Nobility – Networking – Patronage – State Building 1 Introduction Prussia has in many respects been regarded as the archetype for the military in the Early Modern period, resulting in its developments being written large- ly for the early modern military in general.

GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.
