  • The Historical Afterlife of Two Capetian Co- Kings Who
    Chapter 7 The Historical Afterlife of Two Capetian Co- Kings Who Predeceased Their Fathers William Chester Jordan One of the Capetians’ greatest successes was the smooth and largely unchal- lenged transfers of authority after Hugh Capet until the accession of Philip II Augustus. Every king after Hugh down to and including Philip II had two cor- onations, one as the king’s eldest son and while his father lived, the other after the older man died. This system, co-kingship or associative kingship, has been well- studied by a number of scholars, including notably Andrew Lewis, who have been interested in determining its roots and parallels in other royal and aristocratic traditions of inheritance.1 What it attempted to do was to assure that no king’s death left a power vacuum, since the new king would already be a reigning and anointed monarch. Of course, to what extent any junior king had responsibilities depended on the senior king’s personality, on his health, and on the political conditions in the interval between the son’s accession and his father’s demise. But it is pretty clear that the Capetians were luckier in this respect than several other dynasties that sporadically practiced associative kingship contemporary with them or later on. For example, in the twelfth century Henry II of England’s son, Henry the Young King, was willful, resentful, peevish, stupid, and altogether charming. These are my words, but they mirror W. L. Warren’s in his magisterial 1973 biography of Henry II: “He [the Young King] was gracious, benign, affable, courteous, the soul of liberality and generosity.

Works for the Pio Ospedale della Pietà, a charitable organization for indigent, illegitimate or orphaned girls. The students were trained in music and gave frequent concerts. The HIGH BAROQUE:! VIVALDI CONCERTO The HIGH BAROQUE:! VIVALDI CONCERTO The HIGH BAROQUE:! VIVALDI CONCERTO Thus, many of Vivaldi’s concerti were written for soloists and an orchestra made up of teen- age girls. The HIGH BAROQUE:! VIVALDI CONCERTO It is for the Ospedale students that Vivaldi writes over 500 concertos, publishing them in sets like Corelli, including: Op. 3 L’Estro Armonico (1711) Op. 4 La Stravaganza (1714) Op. 8 Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione (1725) Op. 9 La Cetra (1727) The HIGH BAROQUE:!

His music was not re-discovered until the “Baroque Revival” during the 20th century. The HIGH BAROQUE:!

VIVALDI CONCERTO The term “concerto” originates from a term used in the early Baroque to describe pieces that alternated and contrasted instrumental groups with vocalists (concertato = “to contend with”) The term is later applied to ensemble instrumental pieces that contrast a large ensemble (the concerto grosso or ripieno) with a smaller group of soloists (concertino) The HIGH BAROQUE:!

  • The Scots in Sweden Part Ii
    THE SCOTS IN SWEDEN PART II (D) MILITARIA THE PERIOD OF CHARLES XII. No two other nations can boast of so large an element of romance in their history as the Scottish and the Swedish nations. The reader often forgets that he has facts before him, and not the most poetically fanciful or barbarously frightful imaginations of an overwrought brain. Think of the amount of mystery that enters into the life of Mary Queen of Scots; of the death-feuds of the Highland clans; of the wanderings of the Pretender. In Swedish history what can be more romantic than the adventurous youth of Gustavus Vasa, and the imprisonment, madness, and poisoning of King Erik XIV.? Whole periods in the life of Gustavus Adolphus - I here especially allude to his “Brautfahrt” (“search for a bride”) in Germany - are still shrouded in mystery, and now we come to the most romantic King of all, the stubbornly brave, fiery, and thoughtless Charles XII. - not a man who would have been, like Gustavus Adolphus, equally great in the tranquil times of peace, had he ever known them; not a lovable, wise man like Gustavus Vasa, whom the cruel persecutions of his youth did not render bitter and revengeful; but a remarkable man all the same, with something of meteoric rapidity and demoniac splendour in him or rather in his career. For he himself was plain almost to shabbiness, plain in speech, in his food, and in his dress. No strong drink ever passed his lips after the follies of his youth. But his great characteristic was his uncurbed love of war.

Although soon after my arrival in the city of New-York, about two years ago, learning by experience, what already long had been known to me, the great attention the enlightened popu- lation of the United States pay to science and the arts, and that they admit that unquestion- able truth, that the very best blessings are the intellectual, I was, however, soon . aware, that Scandinavian affairs were too little known in this country. Induced by that ardent patriotism peculiar to the Norsemen, I immediately re- solved, as far as it lay in my power, to throw some light upon this, here, almost terra incog- nita, and compose a brief History of Scandinavia, which once was the arbiter of the European sycjtem, and by which America, in reality, had been discovered as much as upwards of five Vlll PREFACE centuries before Columbus reached St.
