  • Matrimony and Monarchy: the Failure of Bourbon-Habsburg Matrimonial Alliance
    Matrimony and Monarchy: The Failure of Bourbon-Habsburg Matrimonial Alliance Dr Samra Sarfraz Khan* Irum Iqbal Hussain** Abstract The research paper titled “Matrimony and Monarchy: The Failure of Bourbon-Habsburg Matrimonial Alliance,” is an in depth study of the matrimonial alliance between the Bourbon and Habsburg dynasties through the marriage of Louis XIV; the King of France, with the Spanish hieress Maria Theresa. This matrimonial alliance, which was arranged to start a new era of Franco-Spanish relations in the seventeenth century, was one of the many similar examples that had been followed in state craft from the earliest times. The paper serves a two-fold purpose: to bring to light the unsuccessful nature of this marriage, and to probe the various reasons for which the alliance was a failure in the very quintessence of a marriage. The paper highlights the factors that contributed in not only keeping the matrimonial alliance into a contentious relationship between Maria Theresa and Louis XIV but also in causing a decline in the political ties between the French and Spanish kingdoms. The research paper, thus, caters to an aspect in the study of matrimonial alliances that remains largely unexplored. Keywords: Matrimonial alliance, Bourbon, Hapsburg, monarch, expansion. * Samra Sarfraz Khan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of History, University of Karachi ** Irum Iqbal Hussain, Graduate Student, Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS), UK 15 Jhss, Vol. 10, No. 2, July to December, 2019 Introduction The matrimonial alliance of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa was one in a series of similar state alliances that took place between the Bourbon and Habsburg royal families in their days of glory days.

  • Isabel Clara Eugenia and Peter Paul Rubens’S the Triumph of the Eucharist Tapestry Series
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PIETY, POLITICS, AND PATRONAGE: ISABEL CLARA EUGENIA AND PETER PAUL RUBENS’S THE TRIUMPH OF THE EUCHARIST TAPESTRY SERIES Alexandra Billington Libby, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History and Archeology This dissertation explores the circumstances that inspired the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia, Princess of Spain, Archduchess of Austria, and Governess General of the Southern Netherlands to commission Peter Paul Rubens’s The Triumph of the Eucharist tapestry series for the Madrid convent of the Descalzas Reales. It traces the commission of the twenty large-scale tapestries that comprise the series to the aftermath of an important victory of the Infanta’s army over the Dutch in the town of Breda. Relying on contemporary literature, studies of the Infanta’s upbringing, and the tapestries themselves, it argues that the cycle was likely conceived as an ex-voto, or gift of thanks to God for the military triumph. In my discussion, I highlight previously unrecognized temporal and thematic connections between Isabel’s many other gestures of thanks in the wake of the victory and The Triumph of the Eucharist series. I further show how Rubens invested the tapestries with imagery and a conceptual conceit that celebrated the Eucharist in ways that symbolically evoked the triumph at Breda. My study also explores the motivations behind Isabel’s decision to give the series to the Descalzas Reales. It discusses how as an ex-voto, the tapestries implicitly credited her for the triumph and, thereby, affirmed her terrestrial authority. Drawing on the history of the convent and its use by the king of Spain as both a religious and political dynastic center, it shows that the series was not only a gift to the convent, but also a gift to the king, a man with whom the Infanta had developed a tense relationship over the question of her political autonomy.

  • Louis XIV (1624–1715)
    Louis XIV (1624–1715) As ruler of France for 72 years, Louis XIV had a tremendous impact on his nation’s domestic institutions. Remembered for his probably apocryphal assertion, “I am the state,” Louis oversaw an absolutist regime that was the envy of monarchs across the continent, many of whom sought to emulate the French king. His ambitions also sparked an almost continual series of wars beginning in the 1660s and lasting almost to his death in 1715. What policies did Louis XIV implement in order to strengthen the absolutist state? What were his major foreign policy goals? * * * * * The child destined to raise French absolutism to its pinnacle was born in 1638 to parents who cared little for one another. Louis XIII and Anne of Austria had been wed largely out of diplomatic considerations and nurtured a mutual detestation for each other in the twenty-three years of marriage that preceded the birth of their son Louis. Since the mid-1620s, Louis XIII and his powerful chief minister Cardinal Richelieu had striven to lay the foundations for an absolutist Bourbon monarchy. The Cardinal’s death in 1642 presaged the death of the king by only a year, and as Louis was only five years old, Anne ruled as regent with the assistance of yet another powerful cleric, Cardinal Mazarin. Though Mazarin assumed responsibility for the education of the future king, Louis was ill served by his tutors and matured with only a marginal familiarity with most subjects. Both contemporary and modern commentators have noted that the one area the otherwise lackadaisical Louis excelled in as a pupil was in his understanding of political power and how it was effectively exercised.

  • Madame De Motteville on Mazarin by Ruth Kleinman Francoise Bertaut
    Madame de Motteville on Mazarin by Ruth Kleinman Francoise Bertaut, Madame de Motteville, was an unpretentious woman, whose greatest treasure was the. good will, not to say friendship, of the queen whom she attended for almost a quarter century: Anne of Austria. Living in retirement after Anne's death, Francoise wrote memoirs. As she explained to her readers, she wanted to let posterity know the real merits, words, and actions of "the late queen, and also to remember happier times and give herself, as it were, "une seconde vie."1 Surely these were unexceptionable motives. Apparently uninvolved in political intrigues, unlike many of her memoir-writing contemporaries, and therefore presumably with no axe to grind, small wonder that Madame de Motteville has enjoyed great credibility as a historical witness. Her first editor, early in the eighteenth century, hailed her work as a useful source of information on the events of her time,2 while a hundred years later the preface to the Petitot edition of her memoirs claimed that they presented "the most detailed, the most. complete, the most impartial history of the first years of the reign of Louis XIV... ."3 These judgments became part of French literary tradition, so that in our own time, as respected an authority as Antoine Adam has included Madame de Motteville's work in the list of sixteenth and seventeenth-century memoirs that should interest historians because of the insights they offer into the workings of politics, and into human nature.4 We may ask, however, how reliable these insights are and whether, in the case of Madame de Motteville for example, personal feelings and prejudices colored the picture she painted.

  • C . 1500-1650 S OME P ATTERNS by Sheila Ffolliott
    E UROPEAN W OMEN P ATRONS OF A RT AND A RCHITECTURE, C . 1500-1650 S OME P ATTERNS By Sheila ffolliott To assess women’s patronage roles in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries requires the acknowledgement that women’s support of the arts transpired within a deeply embedded patron-client arrangement pervasive in European social relations and religious practice. It also requires examination of the period’s laws and gender norms. This paper surveys and attempts to cate- gorise how and why a range of European women—from Isabella d’Este in Italy, Catherine de’ Medici in France, and various Habsburg queens, in Spain, France, and the Netherlands, to less well known patrons—acquired and made use of the visual arts and architecture in the early modern period. Women and men actively supported art and architecture in all its forms and maintained relationships with canonical artists. They operated, however, in a society that prescribed differentiated male and female roles. In the Renaissance, unlike today, art did not occupy a separate sphere in which artists made largely non-utilitarian creations. Motivated by the desire for salvation, patrons initiated the process, hiring artists and architects to build and decorate churches and provide the liturgical apparatus central to religious practice. At the same time patronage of such works, together with civic and domestic architecture and decoration, enhanced personal and fam- ily stature. These connections are clear in an inscription accompanying a painting that Catherine King quoted in her recent book on Italian women patrons of the Renaissance: Ad lectorem. Nobile testata est pingi pia Brisida quondam Hoc opus.

    2021 VIII Queen, Mother, and Stateswoman: Mariana of Austria and the Government of Spain Silvia Z. Mitchell University Park: The Pennsylvania State University, 2019 Review by: Charles Beem Review: Queen, Mother, and Stateswoman: Mariana of Austria and the Government of Spain Queen, Mother, and Stateswoman: Mariana of Austria and the Government of Spain, by Silvia Z. Mitchell. University Park: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 2019. ISBN 978-0-271- 08339-1. xi + 293 pp. $84.95. he author of this review wishes he had read this book prior to the publication of his recent survey on early modern European queenship, which presents a less than positive assessment of Queen Mariana of Spain’s late seventeenth T century regency for the underage Carlos II (r. 1665-1700). Mea culpa. Silvia Z. Mitchell rescues Mariana, consort of Philip IV of Spain (r. 1621-1665), from the trash heap of historical mediocrities to offer a well-researched and argued revisionist history of Spain’s sole female regent of the early modern era. Shaking a historical reputation for mediocrity is always an uphill battle, especially for feminist scholars who write about female rulers, as recent scholars have done for Mary I of England, by bringing documentary evidence of “competence” to bear in critical assessments of “traditional” political narratives emphasizing Mary’s lack of political acumen. Utilizing a similar methodology, Mitchell takes a sledgehammer to the interpretation that Mariana was a “passive victim of headstrong political winds,” or an incompetent figurehead for the Junta de Gobierno, the regency council devised by Philip IV. In doing so, Mitchell challenges longstanding seventeenth century Spanish historiographical certainties regarding Mariana’s political naivete, arguing that she was an “active historical agent” who developed “strategies to shape her regime” (54).

Many hands were involved in the installation of the exhibition, which made the process more efficient and enjoyable: Nadine Biss ’13, Siman Xie ’14, Amira Pualwan ’13, Zimbiri Dorji ’13, Yitong Cai ’15, Arden Barlow ’12, Emily Timm ’12, and Wiley Davi.
