The St. John Ambulance Association. a Brief that the majority of Ambulancers are without the least knowledge regarding the historical aspect of their subject, and I make this a reason for writing a short paper on it. But then, if the ignorance of which I speak were confined only to the lay people who work for the Association in various capacities, I should have no justifica- tion whatever for writing such an article for a medical journal intended mostly for professional readers. It is perhaps sufficient excuse for me when I say that I have found a great many medical men in this country?medical men actually engaged as teachers and examiners in ambulance work?ignorant of the history of the Association under whose auspices they are render- ing such valuable service, and ignorant of the origin of the work itself to which they are so devotedly interesting themselves. The history of the St. John Ambulance Asso- ciation, which as such came into existence only in 1877, dates very far back, to the exciting times of the Middle Ages. Let the reader carry himself back to the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries and recall the period of the Crusades, that series of military expeditions undertaken by some of the Christian nations of Europe with the object of wresting Jerusalem from the hands of the Mahomedans. Let him THE ST.

Introduction: The first Crusade, a massive and unprecedented undertaking in the western world, differed from the majority of subsequent crusades into the Holy Land in an important way: it contained no royalty and was undertaken with very little direct support from the ruling families of Western Europe. This aspect of the crusade led to the development of sophisticated hierarchies and vassalages among the knights who led the crusade. These relationships culminated in the formation of the Crusader States, Latin outposts in the Levant surrounded by Muslim states, and populated primarily by non-Catholic or non-Christian peoples. Despite the difficulties engendered by this situation, the Crusader States managed to maintain control over the Holy Land for much of the twelfth century, and, to a lesser degree, for several decades after the Fall of Jerusalem in 1187 to Saladin.

Whatever had been his fears and toils in the passage of the first crusade, they were amply recompensed by the subsequent benefits which he derived from the exploits of the Franks. His dexterity and vigilance secured their first conquest of Nice; and from this threatening station the Turks were compelled to evacuate the neighborhood of Constantinople.

  • Constitution of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem
    CONSTITUTION OF THE EQUESTRIAN ORDER OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE OF JERUSALEM Translated from the Italian Original 1978 Note: Pages I, II, III, IV, VI, and VIII are blank. PREAMBLE “You are to be my witness in Jerusalem, and throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1.8) *** The Knighthood is defined as self-discipline, generosity and courage. Whosoever does not have the firm willingness to develop and deepen these traits in his life will never be able to become a True Knight. The zeal for self-renunciation, in the midst of abundance, generous aid to the weak and those without protection, courageous struggle for justice and peace are the characteristic virtues of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. The tie with Jerusalem which is manifested in the Order and exacts responsibility for the Holy Places orients our desires toward the heavenly Jerusalem. (Gal. 4.26) The Holy Sepulchre is the symbol of the Passion shared with Jesus and also of our hope in the Resurrection. (Phil. 3.10) The Cross which we wear is not just jewelry but a testimony of our submission to the Cross of Christ. The form of the Cross which is the symbol of the Order brings to our minds the five wounds of our Lord as well as the suffering in the Holy Land with the loss of its own blood. “The Pilgrim Shell” reminds us of the reality that we are all pilgrims on this earth, and recalls also our pledge to aid the needy. Exemplary moral conduct and true Christian feeling are the prime requisites for admission to the Order.

Dr. Richard Miles at the Vigil service for the 2016 GPC) “Keep Watch to Serve!” Luke 12:35-38 “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are watching for their master to re- turn...” These words of our Lord speak to what we do here this night. From ancient times those about to be knighted, and those preparing for promotion in that quest, have been required to watch; that is, to keep a vigil, with lamps lit and dressed for action in full armor, through the night, in preparation for the accolade. Most of us are well acquainted with the idea of a vigil. Many of us were first introduced to it in college. Remember the “all-nighter”? It’s that great college tradition of staying awake from sundown on one day, through the long night, and well past sunup the next day, cramming our brains with information, both review and new, in the last-ditch quest for a decent grade on our finals. We remember that, in the desperate effort to stave-off ever encroaching sleep, and keep energy levels up, we fueled ourselves on sugary snacks, Rahman noodles, and strong (and usually very bad) coffee. Amazingly, sometimes, it actually worked. But, as important a tradition as the college all-nighter was to many of us, it holds only a shadow of the impact in a knight’s vigil.

The two decades of his rule marked the extension of Latin conquests in the east, most notably by the conquest of the important coastal cities of Arsulf, Acre, Caesarea, Beirut and Sidon. These vital ports for the early Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem provided outlets to the sea for commerce, as well as safe harbors for incoming assistance from the west.

MERCER ADAM Late Editor of «Self−Culture» Magazine, Etc., Etc. WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE TOGETHER WITH ANECDOTES, CHARACTERISTICS, AND CHRONOLOGY No golden eagle, warm from the stamping press of the mint, is more sharply impressed with its image and superscription than was the formative period of our government by the genius and personality of Thomas Jefferson. Standing on the threshold of the nineteenth century, no one who attempted to peer down the shadowy vista, saw more clearly than he the possibilities, the perils, the pitfalls and the achievements that were within the grasp of the Nation. None was inspired by purer patriotism. None was more sagacious, wise and prudent, and none understood his countrymen better. By birth an aristocrat, by nature he was a democrat. The most learned man that ever sat in the president's chair, his tastes were the simple ones of a farmer. Surrounded by the pomp and ceremony of Washington and Adams' courts, his dress was homely. He despised titles, and preferred severe plainness of speech and the sober garb of the Quakers. «What is the date of your birth, Mr. President?» asked an admirer. «Of what possible concern is that to you?» queried the President in turn.

  • By Annette Güntzel  Basel
    Amsterdamer Beiträge zur älteren Germanistik 70 (2013), 209-222 Special Issue Section: Saints and Sovereigns GODFREY OF BOUILLON: THE STYLIZATION OF AN IDEAL RULER IN UNIVERSAL CHRONICLES OF THE 12TH AND 13TH CENTURIES by Annette Güntzel Basel Abstract This article is about the first Christian ruler of Jerusalem, Godfrey of Bouillon, and the way he was shaped into the ideal ruler in the Latin universal chronicles of late C12 and C13. Godfrey was not canonized, but even early descriptions tend to present him as a legendary figure. Scholarship has analyzed Godfrey’s presentation as a Christ- like ruler in Old French epics. Since Godfrey was a towering figure of the First Crusade, this raises the question of whether he was presented in a similar way in the influential universal chronicles. Written from a historian’s perspective, this article examines the different modes of description of Godfrey of Bouillon in the Latinate culture of Western Europe. This allows showing the similarities and differences between the examined universal chronicles, including central texts composed in the (Holy) Roman Empire like Ekkehard of Aura and Otto of Freising. There are far- reaching intertextual connections. The text basis of this study on Latin universal chronicles indicates that certain issues in German studies go beyond the German language sphere, requiring an interdisciplinary approach. The figure of Godfrey of Bouillon, who travelled to the Near East in the year 1096 with a contingent of crusaders, and, three years later, was elected the first Christian ruler of Jerusalem, was depicted with legend-like features from an early date.

Quidditas 41 (2020) 96 “That Kingdom is Mine”: On Spain’s Early Modern Polemics of Possession Over Jerusalem, circa 1605 Chad Leahy University of Denver Spanish claims to the throne of Jerusalem in the early modern period have often been viewed in light either of royal mythologies connecting the Habsburgh monarchy to the biblical kings David and Solomon or to prophetic discourses of imperial Messianism relating to universal monarchy. This paper broadens our understanding of Spanish claims to Jerusalem through close reading of two archival documents produced in 1605. In defending Spanish preeminence and sovereignty in Jerusalem, I argue that these documents participate in a “polemics of possession” that crucially informed cultural production related to the Holy City in the period more broadly. These documents further urge us to recognize Jerusalem’s role within early modern Spanish culture and politics as a location bound up in pragmatic geopolitical, diplomatic, economic, and material concerns that demand our attention.

I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia.

The past two years she offered me valuable feedback and advice, first with the bachelor thesis and now with this master thesis. The course, the Middle Ages and the modern world, that she organized together with Dr. Erika Graham, introduced me to various concepts within medievalism and a plethora of new and exciting sources. It encouraged me to work with seemingly unconventional material and combine my passion for movies with my interest in medieval history. I would also like to thank Julia, from the bottom of my heart, for proofreading everything that I write and just for being there.
