  • Myth-Making and the Historical Imagination: an Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature
    Myth-making and the Historical Imagination: An Investigation of the Historiography of Islamic Iberia Through Castilian Literature Gaston Jean-Xavier Arze Springfield, Virginia BA English, University of Virginia, 2017 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia December, 2018 Dr. Ahmed H. al-Rahim Dr. E. Michael Gerli 2 1. Introduction A historical narrative is thus necessarily a mixture of adequately and inadequately explained events, a congeries of established and inferred facts, at once a representation that is an interpretation and an interpretation that passes for an explanation of the whole process mirrored in the narrative. Hayden White, Tropics of Discourse (1978). The history of Islam in Spain is a deeply contested historical narrative, whose interpretation has significant implications for Spain’s perception of its national identity, as well as its historical memory, and modern political discourse. The rejection of Islamic Iberia plays an important role in the modern understanding of the nascence of the Spanish state. This is because, the history of medieval Iberia is largely framed as an 800-year struggle for independence from invading Muslims. This historical narrative is obviously at odds with the historical presence of the religion of Islam, the irrefutable linguistic contact between Arabic and Peninsular Romance, and the role of Arabic and Arabic sources in Iberia’s rich literary history. The aforementioned interpretation of the history of the Iberian Peninsula also rejects the influence that Islam played in the creation of identities unique to the peninsula: namely, the Mudéjars, the Moriscos and the Mozarabs.

Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

  • Introduction Deborah Mcgrady and Jennifer Bain Guillaume De
    INTRODUCTION Deborah McGrady and Jennifer Bain Guillaume de Machaut, poet and composer, secretary to kings and canon at Reims, lived a life far different from the narrative commonly assigned late-medieval French writers. Born, most likely, at the turn of the four- teenth century to a non-noble family in the Machault region, he appears to have benefited from the rare opportunity to receive an education from a cathedral school, which, in turn, would have prepared him for subse- quent study at the university. Having achieved the status of a clerk, he was optimally trained to enter both ecclesiastic and secular service. Until his death in 1377, Machaut remained closely linked to these two worlds. It would appear that he began his professional career in the service of John of Luxembourg, king of Bohemia, progressively advancing in rank from almoner (1330) to notary (1332) and, ultimately, to secretary (1333).1 Machaut also acquired during this period, with the king’s intervention, numerous Church benefices, most notably a canonry and prebend at the Reims cathedral chapter beginning in 1338.2 As a member of the king’s entourage, Machaut most likely directly participated in several campaigns instigated by the king across Eastern Europe and into the Italian peninsula. In spite of his longstanding affiliation with the king and well before the famous death of the then blind John of Luxembourg on the battlefield of Crécy in August of 1346, Machaut addressed texts to other members of the nobility. His literary network that originated with the king of Bohemia appears to have progressively extended outward to embrace close affili- ations to the king, starting with his daughter Bonne of Luxembourg, the future mother of Charles V of France.

Abbott, Provinces, Pays and Seigneuries of France in ISBN: 0-9593773-0-1 (Author at 266 Myrtleford, 3737, Australia: Priries Printers Pty. Ltd, Canberra A.C.T., Australia, November, 1981), Page 329.). AKA: Wulgrin I, Count d'Agen. AKA: Wulfgrin I, Count d'Angoulême The province of Angoumois comprised the areas now occupied by the Departments of Charente, with some rectifications. Regions of Charente excluded from the Province were, in the North, those of Confolentais, Champagne Mouton, and Villelagnon; in the Southwest, that part of the arrondissement of Cognac, South of the Né. But included in the Province were Deux Sèvres, a small pays near Sauzé- Vaussais and in Haute Vienne, an irregular intrusion comprising Oradour, Saint Mathieu, and Saint Victurnien. The Capital of Angoumois was Angoulême [Charente]. At first part of Saintonge, Angoumois became an independent City late in the Roman era. During the Carolingians Period, the pays constituted a County, as it was also probably under the Mérovingiens. In 770, there was a Comte named Vulgrin; in 839, the Comte was Turpion. The latter was killed by Normans in 863.
