The Wilted Lily Representations of the Greater Capetian Dynasty Within the Vernacular Tradition of Saint-Denis, 1274-1464 THE WILTED LILY REPRESENTATIONS OF THE GREATER CAPETIAN DYNASTY WITHIN THE VERNACULAR TRADITION OF SAINT-DENIS, 1274-1464 by Derek R. Whaley A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at the University of Canterbury, 2017. ABSTRACT Much has been written about representations of kingship and regnal au- thority in the French vernacular chronicles popularly known as Les grandes chroniques de France, first composed at the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Denis in 1274 by the monk Primat. However, historians have ignored the fact that Primat intended his work to be a miroir for the princes—a didactic guidebook from which cadets of the Capetian royal family of France could learn good governance and morality. This study intends to correct this oversight by analysing the ways in which the chroniclers Guillaume de Nangis, Richard Lescot, Pierre d’Orgemont, Jean Juvénal des Ursins, and Jean Chartier constructed moral character arcs for many of the members of the Capetian family in their continua- tions to Primat’s text. This thesis is organised into case studies that fol- low the storylines of various cadets from their introduction in the narrative to their departure. Each cadet is analysed in isolation to deter- mine how the continuators portrayed them and what moral themes their depictions supported, if any. Together, these cases prove that the chron- iclers carefully crafted their narratives to serve as miroirs, but also that their overarching goals shifted in response to the growing political cri- ses caused by the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) and the Armagnac- Burgundian civil war (1405-1435). Where at first the chroniclers of the thirteenth century advocated many forms of Capetian dynasticism—the promotion of dynastic governance—by the fifteenth century, only forms of dynasticism that directly enhanced the authority of the kings of France were promoted by the continuators. The revelation that there is a conscious redirection of the narrative suggests a shifting awareness of the relationship between king and dynasty within late medieval French society. It also suggests that other contemporary chronicles likely functioned as miroirs and may require reassessment to verify whether they, too, reflect this change in perspective.

Without the constant and thorough feedback and long discussions with my primary supervisor, Chris Jones, the study before you would appear very different, with much poorer arguments and much weaker conclusions. It was he who directed my attention to the Dionysian vernacular tradition, although I certainly took the subject into directions he could not have predicted. I must also thank Tracy Adams, my secondary supervisor, who helped me streamline my arguments and interpret some unusual late medieval French words and phrases. Furthermore, this thesis would not have been possible without the help of the interloan staff at Puaka-James Hight Library, specifically Sue Thompson, who repeatedly came to my rescue by acquiring books and articles for me from increasingly obscure sources. More broadly, I ex- tend my appreciation to the University of Canterbury’s College of Arts, specifically the De- partment of History, which has supported me throughout this process and provided me with multiple travel bursaries to attend conferences in Australia and New Zealand, and the Canter- bury History Foundation and the Australia and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, both of which also provided me with scholarships. On a more personal level, this study could not have been completed without the con- stant moral and emotional support provided by my friends at the University of Canterbury and around the world. Numerous people have read through and provided editorial assistance to me throughout the process of writing this thesis, which I appreciate greatly, including Lisa Rol- ston, Thandi Parker, Anne Shenton, and Maree Shirota. Furthermore, I thank Lindsay Breach, Hannah Garner, Ruth Larsen, Julian Vesty, Anna Milne, and the 2017 History MA students, all of whom have helped keep me sane throughout this process. I also cannot ignore the post- graduate students in my own office—Xiongbo Shi, Yafei Lü, James Schofield, Yvette Bense- mann, and Fiona Dalzell—with whom I have laughed and commiserated in equal measure. Finally, this task would not have been possible without my family, especially my parents, Kanda and Harold Whaley, who first encouraged me to pursue my doctorate over a decade ago. My dad tragically will never see the conclusion of this long journey, having died from cancer in August 2017. My mother, though, continues her support, editing drafts, providing feedback, and generally cheerleading as she always has. Thanks also to my in-laws, Jeanne and Kirk Kennedy, without whom I probably could never have afforded such a prolonged study in such a beautiful land as New Zealand. And lastly, my heart goes out to my partner Kara, who has withstood years of me discussing Dionysian chronicles, Capetian royalty, An- glo-French

  • Capetian France (987–1328)
    FORUM Capetian France (987–1328) Introduction Damien Kempf If “France is a creation of its medieval history,”1 the rule of the Cape- tian dynasty (987–1328) in particular is traditionally regarded as the beginning of France as a nation.2 Following the narrative established by Joseph Strayer’s influential bookOn the Medieval Origins of the Mod- ern State, historians situate the construction of the French nation- state in the thirteenth century, under the reigns of Philip Augustus (1180– 1223) and Louis IX (1226–70). Territorial expansion, the development of bureaucracy, and the centralization of the royal government all con- tributed to the formation of the state in France.3 Thus it is only at the end of a long process of territorial expansion and royal affirmation that the Capetian kings managed to turn what was initially a disparate and fragmented territory into a unified kingdom, which prefigured the modern state. In this teleological framework, there is little room or interest for the first Capetian kings. The eleventh and twelfth centuries are still described as the “âge des souverains,” a period of relative anarchy and disorder during which the aristocracy dominated the political land- scape and lordship was the “normative expression of human power.”4 Compared to these powerful lords, the early Capetians pale into insignifi- cance. They controlled a royal domain centered on Paris and Orléans and struggled to keep at bay the lords dominating the powerful sur- rounding counties and duchies. The famous anecdote reported by the Damien Kempf is senior lecturer in medieval history at the University of Liverpool.

A Comparison with the Dutch Nobility Jaap Dronkers ∗ Abstract: Has the Austrian-German nobility had the same high degree of no- ble homogamy during the 20th century as the Dutch nobility? Noble homog- amy among the Dutch nobility was one of the two main reasons for their ‘con- stant noble advantage’ in obtaining elite positions during the 20th century. The Dutch on the one hand and the Austrian-German nobility on the other can be seen as two extreme cases within the European nobility. The Dutch nobility seems to have had a lower degree of noble homogamy during the 20th century than the Austrian-German nobility.

  • The Thistle and the Drone
    AKBAR AHMED HOW AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR BECAME A GLOBAL WAR ON TRIBAL ISLAM n the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States declared war on terrorism. More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. Here world-renowned author, diplomat, and scholar Akbar Ahmed reveals an important yet largely ignored result of this war: in many nations it has exacerbated the already broken relationship between central I governments and the largely rural Muslim tribal societies on the peripheries of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The center and the periphery are engaged in a mutually destructive civil war across the globe, a conflict that has been intensified by the war on terror. Conflicts between governments and tribal societies predate the war on terror in many regions, from South Asia to the Middle East to North Africa, pitting those in the centers of power against those who live in the outlying provinces. Akbar Ahmed’s unique study demonstrates that this conflict between the center and the periphery has entered a new and dangerous stage with U.S. involvement after 9/11 and the deployment of drones, in the hunt for al Qaeda, threatening the very existence of many tribal societies. American firepower and its vast anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and worshipers in their mosques. Bat- tered by military attacks or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, “Every day is like 9/11 for us.” In The Thistle and the Drone, the third vol- ume in Ahmed’s groundbreaking trilogy examin- ing relations between America and the Muslim world, the author draws on forty case studies representing the global span of Islam to demon- strate how the U.S.

Vol. 85, Cahiers d’Humanisme et Renaissance. 360 pp. 47.06 € (pb). ISBN 9872600012119. Review by Orest Ranum, The Johns Hopkins University. The social and political histories of the French frontiers are again becoming subjects for book-length studies. Lucien Febvre’s thesis on the Franche-Comté was the model study for his generation, as Georges Livet’s on Alsace was for the next. The depth of research and the range of themes in these works perhaps explains why Febvre and Livet have been left on the shelves by historians of the current generation; but these monuments to scholarship really do explore all the aspects of center and periphery history for the France of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In Boundaries; the Making of France and Spain in the Pyrenees (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989) Peter Sahlins explores the process by which a general European peace settlement inevitably affected the village communities in the contested territories, in this instance, the Cerdagna. No major princely families, apart from the sovereigns of Spain and France, could effectively lay claim to the region, with the result that, as in some of the provinces in the south of the Spanish Netherlands, diplomats toyed with making what were quite fantastic exchanges of sovereignty, and without regard for the inhabitants.

  • Saint Joan Timeline Compiled by Richard Rossi
    1 Saint Joan Timeline Compiled by Richard Rossi A certain understanding of the historical background to Saint Joan is necessary to fully understand the various intricacies of the play. As an ocean of ink has been spilled by historians on Joan herself, I shall not delve too deeply into her history, keeping closely to what is relevant to the script. My dates, which may not necessarily match those that Shaw used, are the historically accepted dates; where there is discrepancy, I have notated. In some cases, I have also notated which characters refer to certain events in the timeline. There is a great deal of history attached to this script; the Hundred Years War was neither clean nor simple, and Joan was, as The Inquisitor says, “...crushed between these mighty forces, the Church and the Law.” 1st Century: Saint Peter founds the Catholic Church of Rome. (Warwick mentions St. Peter) 622: Establishment of Mohammad’s political and religious authority in Medina. (Cauchon mentions the prophet) 1215: The Waldensian movement, founded by Peter Waldo around 1170, is declared heretical at the Fourth Lateran Council. The movement had previously been declared heretical in 1184 at the Synod of Verona, and in 1211 80+ Waldensians were burned at the stake at Strausbourg. This was one of the earliest proto-Protestant groups and was very nearly destroyed. 1230’s: Establishment of the Papal Inquisition, which would later prosecute the trial against Joan of Arc. (Mentioned by Warwick. This is the same inquisition mentioned throughout the script) 1328: Charles IV of France dies without a male heir, ending the Capetian Dynasty and raising some very serious questions regarding the right of inheritance.
