INTRODUCTION the Long Life and Long Rule of King Christian INTRODUCTION The long life and long rule of King Christian IV of Denmark (1577- 1648) make him anideal figure aroundwhom to group a volume of essays concerning Northern European court culture and its con- texts.1 At the death of his father Frederik II (1532-1588; ruled from 1559), a minority government ruled for Christian. In 1595, he was declared of age in the Duchies (the King of Denmark was also Duke of Holstein), he set his coronation for August of the following year,2 andhe embarked ona tour of North Germancities andcourts — among them Hamburg, Wolfenbüttel, Berlin, and Rostock. ChristianIV’s court fostered a floweringof the arts inDenmark, attracting English, German, and Italian musicians and singers, English itinerant troupes,3 and Dutch artists and architects,4 while simultaneously Danish artists visited European cultural centers and Danes embarked upon extensive study tours abroad in preparation for service to the crown. From his coronation in 1596 and his entry into Hamburg and spectacles staged there in1603 through the ‘Great Wedding’of 1 For the best overview of ChristianIV andhis court, see SteffenHeiberg: Christian IV and Europe.

Wade 1634 and the festivities held for the marriages of his children in 1636, 1639, 1642, and 1643, the long reign of Christian IV offers a vantage point for studying the festivals of Northern European courts.5 Inadditionto his Danishcourt which offers a spectrum of festival activity spanning the entire first half of the seventeenth century, Christian IV’s travels and attendant spectacles provide further events for future study. Very much like the Emperor Charles V, the Danish king Christian IV traveled extensively. For the history and scholarship of festival culture, his travels to England, Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, and Wolfenbüttel are of particular interest. The present volume focuses in particular on his connection to Wolfenbüttel in the figure of Georg Engelhard von Loehneyss. Additionally, the Danish court provided a safe haven for artists and musicians from German-speaking lands during the Thirty Years’ War.6 While the study of court festival culture is a burgeoning disci- pline,7 there is a particular dearth of scholarship onGermanProtes- tant courts and their closely related Scandinavian counterparts.8 The research presented in this volume demonstrates the significant cultural connections between Copenhagen and Dresden, Kassel, Wolfenbüttel, Berlin, and the Free Imperial City of Nürnberg on the one hand, and between Copenhagen and Stockholm on the other. All of these cities, in turn, had direct and immediate connections to 5 See Mara R. Wade: Triumphus Nuptialis Danicus: German Court Culture and Denmark. The Great Wedding of 1634.

Powazek Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2020 Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson When the Albertine Dukes of Saxony gained the Electoral privilege in the second half of the sixteenth century, they ascended to a higher echelon of European princes. Elector August (r. 1553-1586) marked this new status by commissioning a monumental tomb in Freiberg Cathedral in Saxony for his deceased brother, Moritz, who had first won the Electoral privilege for the Albertine line of rulers. The tomb’s magnificence and scale, completed in 1563, immediately set it into relation to the grandest funerary memorials of Europe, the tombs of popes and monarchs, and thus establishing the new Saxon Electors as worthy peers in rank and status to the most powerful rulers of the period. By the end of his reign, Elector August sought to enshrine the succeeding rulers of his line in an even grander project, a dynastic chapel built into Freiberg Cathedral directly in front of the tomb of Moritz.

Made in the United States of America ©C!,A446580 TO MY FRIEND ELLA MAY ADAMS PREFACE As every one knows, the mother land of the American nation is England. But what is the grandmother land? A short glance at England's past will show that it is Scandinavia. Though the English people are exceedingly composite, there exists in them a very important Scandinavian strain. The Northern blood was contributed primarily by two great immigrations directly from Scandinavia, and one from Normandy, by people only a century and a half removed from Scandinavia ; but it should be borne in mind also that the somewhat mysterious Jutes, Angles, and Saxons, whose continental home was in the peninsula of Jutland and about its base, must have borne a very close relationship to their contemporaries and neighbors to the north. With the introduction of Scandinavian blood came Scandinavian manners and customs which made an impress upon the English population only recently recognized. Of the various parts of Europe which contributed elements to the English people during their forma- tive period, Scandinavia is the only one whose popu- lation has remained relatively pure and in the orig- inal home, unjostled and unmixed by foreign inva- sions.

  • Anna of Denmark and the Politics of Religious Identity in Jacobean Scotland and England, C.1592-1619
    Anna of Denmark and the Politics of Religious Identity in Jacobean Scotland and England, c.1592-1619 Jemma Field Acknowledgement THE CRUX of this research has been with me for several years, has undergone countless iterations, and would never have come to publication without the invaluable support, questions, and suggestions of Associate Professor Erin Griffey (Auckland), Professor Steve Murdoch (St Andrews), and Professor Emeritus R. Malcolm Smuts (Massachusetts Boston), all of whom believed that the established narrative warranted critical engagement. I am further grateful to Steve Murdoch, together with Dr Peter Maxwell-Stuart (St Andrews), for assistance with the translation of Danish, German, and Latin material beyond my own proficiency, although I take full responsibility for any errors herein. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions [706198]. The Lutheran Anna of Denmark (1574–1619) was one of those exceptionally well-placed early modern women. A member of the dynastic houses of Oldenburg and Stuart, she was daughter, sister, wife, and mother of kings, and she also retained close connections to a number of other royal and ducal houses in Europe. Her ancestral dynastic links, coupled with the marriages of her siblings, extended her kinship network beyond her natal kingdom of Denmark-Norway and its territories of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, and Dithmarschen, to include Brandenburg, Braunschweig- Lüneburg, Dresden, Holstein-Gottorf, Mecklenburg-Güstrow, and Electoral Saxony. With her marriage to King James VI (1566–1625) in 1589, Anna of Denmark moved to Scotland, and around 1592, or perhaps 1600, she converted to Catholicism.

    PUBLISHING THE STUARTS: OCCASIONAL LITERATURE AND POLITICS FROM 1603 TO 1625 REBECCA A. CALCAGNO SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 REBECCA A. CALCAGNO ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT PUBLISHING THE STUARTS: OCCASIONAL LITERATURE AND POLITICS FROM 1603 TO 1625 REBECCA A. CALCAGNO This dissertation examines occasional events at the Jacobean court through the literature written about them—the largely understudied and yet voluminous occasional works published in inexpensive formats during the first Stuart reign. Through a series of contextualized readings of key occasional events and texts, I argue that these poems and pamphlets not only move beyond the epideictic to engage in key political debates, but also that they present competing visions of the Stuart realm and illustrate the international frame of its court. By examining the relationship between occasional works and the “real” events which they discuss, I show how writers sought to persuade the public to accept their political viewpoints through fictional representations of the Stuarts. More importantly, I demonstrate the need to look beyond representations of the Stuarts sponsored by the Stuarts such as masques to fully understand their iconography. Attending to the contexts which shaped occasional literature and the meaningful ways in which authors yoked descriptions of state events to commentaries on political issues, demands a new history of occasional events at court and a new understanding of the Stuart court as polycentric in nature and international in scope. Scholars have long acknowledged the importance of occasional events at court, but dismissed the printed works published about them as ephemeral propaganda.
