BARKER UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON. U.S.A. Abstract: The uses of matrimony have always been standard practices for dynastic advancement through the ages. A perfect case study involves two important Italian families whose machinations had local implications and widespread international extensions. Their competitions are given particular point by the fact that one of the two families, the House of Savoy, was destined to become the dynasty around which the Modern State of Italy was created. This essay is, in part, a study in dynastic genealogies. But it is also a reminder of the wide impact of the crusading movements, beyond military operations and the creation of ephemeral Latin States in the Holy Land. Keywords: Matrimony, Crusading, Montferrat, Savoy, Levant. CRUZADA Y MATRIMONIO EN LAS POLÍTICAS DINÁSTICAS DE MONTFERRATO Y SABOYA Resumen: Los usos del matrimonio siempre han sido las prácticas estándar de ascenso dinástico a través de los tiempos.

  • National Unification in Italy and Germany
    VIAULT National Unification in Italy and Germany TIME LINE 1849-1878 Reign of King Victor Emmanuel I1 of Piedmont, who becomes king of Italy in 1861 1852 Camillo Cavour becomes premier of Sardinia-Piedmont 1859 Piedmont and France defeat Austria; Piedmont annexes Lombardy 1860 Piedmont annexes Tuscany, Modena, Parma, and the Romagna Garibaldi and his Red Shirts land in Sicily 1861-1888 Reign of King William I of Prussia, who becomes German emperor in 1871 1861 The Kingdom of Italy is proclaimed 1862 Bismarck becomes minister-president of Prussia 1864 Prussia and Austria defeat Denmark 1866 Prussia defeats Austria in the Seven Weeks' War Italy annexes Venetia 1867 Prussia creates the North German Confederation 1870 France declares war on Prussia Italy annexes Rome 1871 Prussia and its German allies defeat France The German Empire is proclaimed Germany annexes Alsace and Lorraine In 1848-1849, the liberal national idealists had been defeated in their efforts to unite Italy and Germany. By the early 185Os, the Austrians had reimposed their control over Italian and German affairs, and the German Confederation had been reestablished. Nevertheless, the desire for national unification remained strong in both Italy and Germany. Leadership now passed into the hands of professional politicians. They possessed what the revolutionary idealists of 1848 had lacked: VIAULT power and the will to use power, practical political experience, and a clear vision of their goals. In Italy, Camillo Cavour, the premier of Piedmont, established a united Kingdom of Italy in 1861,while in Germany, Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian minister-president, created a united German Empire a decade later.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.
