Government in the Reigns of Charles VI and Henry VI The Politics ofMadness: Government in the Reigns of Charles VI and Henry VI By Sarah Alger BA A thesis submitted as part ofthe requirements for the degree of Bachelor ofArts with Honours in History School ofHistory and Classics University ofTasmania July 2001 Acknowledgments My sincere thanks must go to the following people, whose indispensable assistance has made this thesis possible: To Professor Michael Bennett for his eternally patient, constructive and insightful supervision, without which this thesis would not have been achievable. To Doctor Megan Cassidy-Welch for her assistance whilst Professor Bennett was on leave in 2000. To Doctor Chris Williams from the Psychology Department, who helped me to understand the psychological aspects ofCharles VI and Henry VI's cases. To Jenny Alger for her help in translating sections ofthe Chroniques du Religieux de Saint Denis and Histoire de Charles VI, without which my primary sources regarding Charles VI would have been insufficient. To my proofreaders and critics, Roland Alger, Jenny Alger and Kristy Willson-Alger, without whom this thesis would be littered with errors. To Andrew Richardson for proofreading my appendices and doing many other tedious tasks, for the use ofhis computer when mine crashed and for his unswerving support. To my niece Hazel for providing many hours ofwelcome distraction and stress relief. Special thanks must also go to my Honours colleagues whose bizarre behaviours made the stresses ofthe year easier to bear. Finally my gratitude must go to my family and friends whose unstinting tolerance and understanding has helped me through this intense experience.

Lancaster and Valois in France o 50 100 miles I:: o 80 160 kilometres x Battles • Towns Introduction Between 1380 and 1422, in the reign of the mad king Charles VI, France suffered rebellion and the civil wars of Armagnacs and Burgundians, quite apart from the disastrous depredations of the English from 1415 onwards. After 1422 England had a mad king too, Henry VI, founder of Eton College; she experienced her own civil wars, the Wars ofthe Roses, in the middle years ofthe fifteenth century. 1 Given Vaughan's assessment, can it be regarded coincidental that both France and England during these turbulent periods were ruled by mentally ill kings? Although Vaughan is implying that the mental illnesses of both monarchs and the troubles evident in their reigns are causally linked, much historical literature fails to adequately address this question.

Abstract The French Revolution of 1789 was instrumental in the emergence and growth of modern nationalism, the idea that a state should represent, and serve the interests of, a people, or "nation," that shares a common culture and history and feels as one. But national ideas, often with their source in the otherwise cosmopolitan world of the Enlightenment, were also an important cause of the Revolution itself. The rhetoric and documents of the Revolution demonstrate the importance of national ideas.

  • Contraception and the Renaissance of Traditional Marriage
    CHOOSING A LAW TO LIVE BY ONCE THE KING IS GONE INTRODUCTION Law is the expression of the rules by which civilization governs itself, and it must be that in law as elsewhere will be found the fundamental differences of peoples. Here then it may be that we find the underlying cause of the difference between the civil law and the common law.1 By virtue of its origin, the American legal profession has always been influenced by sources of law outside the United States. American law schools teach students the common law, and law students come to understand that the common law is different than the civil law, which is prevalent in Europe.2 Comparative law courses expose law students to the civil law system by comparing American common law with the law of other countries such as France, which has a civil code.3 A closer look at the history of the American and French Revolutions makes one wonder why the legal systems of the two countries are so different. Certainly, the American and French Revolutions were drastically different in some ways. For instance, the French Revolution was notoriously violent during a period known as “the Terror.”4 Accounts of the French revolutionary government executing so many French citizens as well as the creation of the Cult of the Supreme Being5 make the French Revolution a stark contrast to the American Revolution. Despite the differences, the revolutionary French and Americans shared similar goals—liberty and equality for all citizens and an end to tyranny. Both revolutions happened within approximately two decades of each other and were heavily influenced by the Enlightenment.

  • Authority, Reputation, and the Roles of Jeanne De Penthièvre in Book I of Froissart's Chroniques Journal of Medieval History
    Authority, reputation, and the roles of Jeanne de Penthièvre in Book I of Froissart’s Chroniques Journal of Medieval History (forthcoming 2019: accepted manuscript) Erika Graham-Goering Department of History, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium Abstract: This article examines how a medieval noblewoman’s positive reputation could be framed through different aspects of seigneurial power using a case study of Jeanne de Penthièvre and her war for the duchy of Brittany. Froissart wrote about Jeanne in the three main redactions of the first book of his Chroniques. However, he focused in the Amiens manuscript on her position as an heiress and the object of her followers’ loyalty, while the B text largely reduced her prominence but planted the seeds for the active military role Jeanne assumed in the Rome redaction. Such changes did not move strictly between more- or less- accurate reports, but engaged with different tropes that had also featured in the official portrayals of Jeanne during her lifetime. These parallel constructions of reputation reveal a plasticity to models of lordly authority even in rhetorical contexts more usually associated with formulaic and conventional representations of elite society. Article History: Received 16 May 2018. Accepted 5 July 2018. Keywords: Froissart, chronicle, reputation, rhetoric, Brittany, Jeanne de Penthievre, medieval women, lordship Rehabilitating the reputations of politically-active medieval women has meant that, in the past few decades, a growing body of scholarship has turned a much-needed critical eye to the process by which social mores, political interests, and iconic narratives could combine to create the ‘black legends’ that frequently transformed more-or-less typical noblewomen, and especially queens, into immoral caricatures.

  • Italian Titles of Nobility
    11/8/2020 Italian Titles of Nobility - A Concise, Accurate Guide to Nobiliary History, Tradition and Law in Italy until 1946 - Facts, no… Italian Titles of Nobility See also: Sicilian Heraldry & Nobility • Sicilian Genealogy • Books • Interview ©1997 – 2015 Louis Mendola Author's Note An article of this length can be little more than a precis. Apart from the presentation of the simplest facts, the author's intent is to provide accurate information, avoiding the bizarre ideas that color the study of the aristocracy. At best, this web page is a ready reference that offers a quick overview and a very concise bibliography; it is intended as nothing more. This page is published for the benefit of the historian, genealogist, heraldist, researcher or journalist – and all scientific freethinkers – in search of an objective, unbiased summary that does not seek (or presume) to insult their knowledge, intelligence or integrity. The study of the nobility and heraldry simply cannot exist without a sound basis in genealogical science. Genealogy is the only means of demonstrating familial lineage (ancestry), be it proven through documentation or DNA, be it aristocratic or humble. At 300 pages, the book Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry considers the subject in far greater detail over several chapters, and while its chief focus is the Kingdom of Sicily, it takes into account the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946) as well. That book includes chapters dedicated to, among other things, historiography, feudal law and proof standards. Like this web page, the book (you can peruse the table of contents, index and a few pages on Amazon's site) is the kind of reference and guide the author wishes were available when he began to study these fields seriously over thirty years ago.

But bythe kingdom of France was beginning to dominate the cultural nd Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition life of western Europe. In the centuries that followed, to scholars and to poets, to reforming churchmen and monks, to crusaders and the designers of churches, France was the hub of the universe. La douce France drew people like a magnet even though its kings were, until aboutcomparatively insignificant figures. Then, thanks to the conquests and reforms of King Philip Augustus, France became a dominant force in political and economic terms as well, producing a saint-king, Louis IX, and in Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition IV, a ruler so powerful that he could dictate to popes and emperors. Spanning France's development across four centuries, Capetian France is a definitive book. This second edition has been carefully revised to take account of the very latest work, without losing the original book's popular balance between a compelling narrative and an fascinating examination of the period's main themes. This is the 2nd edition of Capetian France which is an enormous improvement from the 1st edition. The work expands into using various medieval documents to tell the story of this almost obscure period My approach to European history has always been more or less random; whatever interesting-looking book happens Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition turns up in the remainder bin or at a used bookstore.

May I Begin By expressing my sincere thanks to the Lord Mayor and Court of Common Council for electing me to the freedom of this ancient city of London and to the ChamBerlain of London and his Clerk for presiding at the ceremony earlier this evening. I would also like to thank my proposer and good friend Sir Anthony Bailey and the 675th Lord Mayor of this city Sir Gavyn Arthur for proposing me for this singular honour. Thank you too for your kind words, dear Anthony, and to all those who have organised this celebration which touches me deeply. This gathering takes place at a moment of exceptional communion between our two great cities and countries much like ten years ago when London suffered the same terrorist aggressions. I was very moved when last week all British and French supporters and players at WemBley stadium, sang together the God Save the Queen and La Marseillaise. As a descendant of "Bony", "l'ennemi juré", I would like to express my deepest gratitude. I have lived for 3 years so far in London, a city I learned to love and admire, and where I learned the world and its complexities. I rememBer my first arrival By Eurostar at Waterloo station.
