Isabelle Hainaut, Queen of France Pg 1 Isabelle of Hainaut Born: 5 Apr 1170 Valcenciennes, FRA Married: King Philippe II of France Died: 15 Mar 1190 Paris, FRA Parents: Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut & Countess Margaret of Flanders Isabelle of Hainaut (5 April 1170, Valenciennes - 15 March 1190, Paris) was queen consort of France. Isabelle was born in Valenciennes,on 5 April 1170 the daughter of Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut and Countess Margaret I of Flanders. She married King Philip II of France on 28 April 1180 at Bapaume and brought as her dowry the county of Artois. The marriage was arranged by her maternal uncle Count Philip of Alsace who was advisor to the King.[2] Isabelle was crowned consort of France at Saint Denis on 28 May 1180. As Baldwin V rightly claimed to be a descendant of Charlemagne, the chroniclers of the time saw in this marriage a union of the Carolingian and Capetian dynasties. Though she received extravagant praise from certain annalists, she failed to win the affections of Philip due to her inability to provide him with an heir. Meanwhile, King Philip in 1184, was waging war against Flanders, and angered at seeing Baldwin support his enemies, he called a council at Sens for the purpose of repudiating her. Robert, the king's uncle, successfully interposed. Finally, on 5 September 1187, she gave birth to the needed heir, the future King Louis VIII of France. Her second pregnancy, was extremely difficult; on 14 March 1190, Isabelle gave birth to twin sons. Due to complications in childbirth, Isabelle died the next day, and was buried in the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. The twins only lived four days (14 March-18 March 1190) [1]. Her dowry of Artois eventually returned to the French Crown after the death of Philip. Information from online research at: Ancestry.com .

Though it took to the end of the seven- teenth century for the modem law of nations, based on the idea of state sover- eignty, to be formed, the roots of many of its concepts and institutions can be situated in this period2 .

  • Of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun
    Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Jun Hee Cho All rights reserved ABSTRACT Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho This dissertation examines the relations between court and commerce in Europe at the onset of the modern era. Focusing on one of the most powerful princely courts of the period, the court of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, which ruled over one of the most advanced economic regions in Europe, the greater Low Countries, it argues that the Burgundian court was, both in its institutional operations and its cultural aspirations, a commercial enterprise. Based primarily on fiscal accounts, corroborated with court correspondence, municipal records, official chronicles, and contemporary literary sources, this dissertation argues that the court was fully engaged in the commercial economy and furthermore that the culture of the court, in enacting the ideals of a largely imaginary feudal past, was also presenting the ideals of a commercial future. It uncovers courtiers who, despite their low rank yet because of their market expertise, were close to the duke and in charge of acquiring and maintaining the material goods that made possible the pageants and ceremonies so central to the self- representation of the Burgundian court. It exposes the wider network of court officials, urban merchants and artisans who, tied by marriage and business relationships, together produced and managed the ducal liveries, jewelries, tapestries and finances that realized the splendor of the court.

  • SCOTTISH BLACK MONEY in the LOW COUNTRIES C.1484–1506
    SCOTTISH BLACK MONEY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES c.1484–1506 PETER SPUFFORD THERE seem to me to be two main problems arising from the previous article by Nicholas Holmes and Hendrik van Caelenberghe.1 How far did the areas to which Scots black money penetrate relate to Scots trade with the Low Countries? Why were the Crux Pellit pieces used so widely that it was worth imitating them? I would therefore like to expand this marvellous set of new findings by looking at the context, both geographically and in terms of what denominations the Scottish 3d. and ½d. pieces might have been used for in the Low Countries. I am controversially following up the text cited by Joan Murray by not calling these pieces pennies and farthings, but instead calling the Crux Pellit coins ‘3d. pieces’, and the smaller pieces ‘halfpennies’: ‘for thir was blak cunyhe in the realme strikkin and ordinyt be king James the thred, half pennys and three penny pennys innumerabill of coppir’ in a short anonymous chronicle ending in autumn 1482, and therefore contemporary.2 Some of the smaller pieces were probably ‘farthings’ and ‘halfpennies’ at different times. The latest ones seem to have been regarded as ‘halfpennies’ in 1482. As will be apparent from the second section of this paper, it helps to think of these pieces in Joan Murray’s terms. How far did the circulation of Scottish Black Money correlate with Scottish trade? I would like to present the work of Nicholas Holmes and Hendrik van Caelenberghe geo- graphically in the context of a map of the principalities of the Netherlands in the late fifteenth century.

  • The Eructavit Is Generally Linked with Marie of Champagne. I Should Like
    淡江人文社會學刊【第十期】 The Eructavit is generally linked with Marie of Champagne. I should like to demonstrate, however, that this Old French metrical paraphrase of Psalm XLIV (in the Vulgate edition) is inextricably linked with Marie of Brabant as well. In pursuing this link, I believe I can explain both the occasion and the content of (Paris, BN) Arsenal 3142, the manuscript generally thought to have been composed for Marie of Brabant. Furthermore, in so doing, I should like to establish a possible dating, as well as an occasion, for the Eructavit and for the Arsenal Manuscript 3142. In order to do this, I should like to introduce the setting in which the Eructavit was written, the people surrounding its production, and the familial ties connecting the existing manuscripts of the Eructavit to the Arsenal Manuscript 3142. I should then like to deal with the form of the Arsenal Manuscript in terms of the Eructavit and the 44th Psalm. Marie of France, the eldest daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine and of Louis VII of France, was given in marriage in 1154 to Henry I, called the Liberal, of Champagne.(1) Henry of Champagne was a learned man, a recipient of sermons, commentaries on the Psalms, and liturgical pieces, including ten sequences (Benton, 1961, p. 556). John of Salisbury (who at the time of the Becket case was exiled from England and staying with his friend Pierre de Celle, then abbot of Saint-Remi-de Reims and friend as well of Henry) tells us of the “great pleasure which the Count Henry took in discussing literary subjects with learned men.”(2) Furthermore, Chretien de Troyes, Evrat, Gace Brule, Gautier d’Arras, and Simon Chevre d’Or, all known poets, acknowledge the personal intervention of Henry or Marie in their work.(3) The court of Champagne was well established as a center of learning and patronage.

  • An Anthropometric History of Early-Modern France
    Komlos, John; Hau, Michel und Bourginat, Nicolas: An Anthropometric History of Early-Modern France Munich Discussion Paper No. 2003-10 Department of Economics University of Munich Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Online at https://doi.org/10.5282/ubm/epub.54 The Anthropometric History of Early-Modern France John Komlos, University of Munich In collaboration with Michel Hau and Nicolas Bourguinat, University of Strasbourg French scholars have been in the forefront of anthropometric research ever since Count de Montbeillard recorded his son’s height profile between 1759 and 1777.1 Similarly, Louis René Villermé was the first statistician of public health in the early 19th century, who noted that the height of a population correlated positively with the productivity of the soil: „physical stature is greater, and men grow faster, the wealthier is the country; in other words, misery produces short people, and delays the achievement of final height.“2 In our own time, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, carried on the tradition by being the first historian to examine systematically the geographic variation and the socio-economic correlates of human height in 19th century France. In a series of publications beginning in 1969 he showed, that the physical stature of recruits born in the late 1840s correlated positively with their education and wealth. Illiterates averaged 164.3 cm, while those able to read and write were 1.2 cm taller. Presumably literate men came from wealthier families, and spent more time at education and less at work than did illiterates.3 Although after a hiatus of some two decades considerable research on French 19th century heights continued in the 1990s,4 the anthropometric history of France of the Ancien Régime remains completely uncharted territory.

  • The French Prince Who Invaded England

Field Review: Louis: The French Prince Who Invaded England Louis: The French Prince Who Invaded England. By Catherine Hanley. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2016. ISBN 978-0-300-21745-2. xvi + 279 pp. $40.00. he brief reign of Louis VIII of France (1223–1226) has always been obscured by that of his august father, Philip II (r. 1180– 1223), and his saintly son, Louis IX (r. 1226–1270). A detailed T French monograph by Charles Petit-Dutaillis (1894) remains standard, in spite of more recent biographies by Gérard Sivéry (1995) and Ivan Gobry (2009). Catherine Hanley now gives us the first book-length treatment of Louis in English. As her subtitle indicates, the heart of the book is a narration of Louis’s ultimately unsuccessful, but nevertheless important, invasion of England in 1216–1217. This is a volume aimed at a wide audience, with an appealing, fast-paced prose style. Hanley is the author of a previous scholarly monograph on Warfare and Combat, 1150–1270 (Boydell and Brewer, 2003), but is probably better known for her recent series of historical novels set in thirteenth-century England. Louis is not a work of fiction, however, and thus it is surprising to find that Yale University Press would chose to publish the book without notes of any kind. The author does provide a judicious discussion of her sources in the introduction and again in a concluding “note on sources”.

  • Prisoners in the Castellany Ofartois in the Early Fourteenth Century
    Prisoners in the Castellany ofArtois in the Early Fourteenth Century Carola M. Small* Althoughmore is becoming known about the prisonsofmedievalEurope, the details ofthe use andorganization ofFrench municipalprisons have not been the subjectofmuch study. A series of accounts from the early fourteenth century in the Archives départementales du Pas-de-Calais at Arras permits the examination ofsome aspects of the working ofthe prison attached to the castle atArras, which was used by the municipal government primarily for custodial rather than punitive purposes to detain debtors and people awaiting trial or execution. The fIScal arrangementsfor the prison, including the charges onprisoners and the provision madefor indigentprisoners, can be used to obtain other information on such matters as normal terms ofimprisonment, the composition of the prison population, prison conditions, and thefate ofprisoners. Malgré l'accroissement des recherches sur les prisons de l'Europe médiévale, on n'a guère étudié l'utilisation et l'organisation des geôles municipales françaises. Une série de rapports tirés des Archives départementales du Pas-de-Calais, à Arras, nous permettent toutefois de comprendre certains aspects du fonctionnement de la prison attenante au château d'Arras, qui servaità la détention temporaire plutôt qu'à l'expiation des peines, où les autorités municipales incarcéraient les débiteurs insolvables et les gens qui attendaient d'être jugés ou exécutés. À partir des renseignements d'ordre financier qu'on y trouve, par exemple, les frais imposés aus prisonniers et les mesures visant les détenus pauvres, on peut obtenir des indications sur la durée des séjours en prison, la composition de la population carcérale, l'état des lieux et le sort réservé auxprisonniers.

Between the time of his parents’ generation and that of his own, historians who were concerned with power began to recognize the importance of women and started to ask questions about regular people, not just kings. His awakening came when he read the primary sources themselves.
