INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that die photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap, if necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of die dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5.

THE DOWNFALL OF A KING: DOM MANUEL II OF PORTUGAL A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hie Department of History by Russell E. Benton A.B., Erskine College, 1961 M.A., Stetson University, 1962 August 1975 INTRODUCTION The events which transpired in Portugal in October 1910 did not greatly affect the world at large. For Dom Manuel II, the last king of Portugal, they were profoundly important. By the autumn of 1910, the likelihood of a Republican revolution in Portugal was so great foreign journalists even went there to witness the end of the monarchy. The stage was thus set for the overthrow of a venerable dynasty, one which had occupied the Portuguese throne for 270 years, and the downfall of an ancient monarchy stretching back some eight centuries. The House of Braganza, which had ruled Portugal since 1640, pro­ vided the country with more rulers— fourteen— for a longer period of time than any of her other dynasties. Manuel II was the last member of that family to occupy the ancient throne. He was only eighteen years old when he suddenly found himself king following the murder of his father and older brother in February 1908^ and he ruled but two and one- half years before the Republican revolution removed him from power in October 1910. The remaining years of his life he spent in exile abroad largely occupied with the collection of an extensive library of early Portuguese literature. When he died suddenly in the summer of 1932, he was only forty-two. No biography of the last of the Braganza monarchs exists in the English language. In writing this work my original intention was to examine all the relevant material available on Manuel II and to draw a portrait of the monarch from it. In doing so I found it difficult to ii secure enough primary sources relating to the earlier years of his life before he appeared in the national spotlight in 1908. Likewise, many of the papers associated with his reign were destroyed by his personal secretary in October 1910 at the outbreak of the revolution. I have, therefore, decided to concentrate on the major event of his life, the 1910 Revolution, and his later years in exile when he made valuable contributions as a man rather than as a monarch. In undertaking my research I am endebted to a number of individuals and institutions for their generous help. Chief among the individuals are: Mrs. Asta-Rose Alcaide, Cultural Affairs Specialist, the Enbassy of the United States, Lisboa, and her secretary, Mrs. Luise Mello; Mr. Rudi Gomes, formerly Political Counselor, the Embassy of the United States, Lisboa; Dr. Manuel Corte-Real, Protocol Officer, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Portuguese Government, Lisboa, and Dr. Helder de Mendonja e Cunha, Chief of Protocol, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lisboa; Dr. Maria Luisa Bartolo, Chief of Cultural Services, Casa de Braganza FundayTo, Lisboa, and A. Luis Gomes, Director of the Casa de Braganza Funda9^0 , Lisboa, who generously furnished me with several rare publications relating to Manuel II; Dr. Armindo Aires de Carvalho, Conservador-Chefe of the Nacional Palacio de Ajuda, Lisboa, and his staff for the personal­ ly conducted tour of Portugal's crown jewels; Dr. Mario Q. Gra^a, Direc­ tor of the Biblioteca Muncipal, Lisboa; and the Honorable Luis Couceiro Feio, Secretary-General of the Cause Monarquica for his invaluable help. I would, furthermore, like to express my appreciation to the directors and staffs of the following institutions who provided research facilities: The Library of the Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; the Arquivo Nacional de Portugal, Lisboa; the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, Lisboa; the Museu da Marinha, Lisboa; the Library in the Ducal Palace at Vila Vicosa, Portugal; the Public Record Office, London; the British Library (formerly part of the British Museum), Lon­ don; the Bodleian Library of Oxford University, Oxford, England; the Twickenham Reference Library, Twickenham, England; and the Richmond Public Library, Richmond, England. I am especially endebted to His Majesty, Umberto II of Italy, Manuel II's cousin, for the interview which he granted me at his seaside villa in Cascais, Portugal on June 23, 1972. I wish to extend my appreciation to J. Preston Moore, Professor Emeritus of History, Louisiana State University, who originally encouraged me in this endeavor; and to two members of the Department of History, Louisiana State University, under whose guidance I completed this disser­ tation: Jane L. DeGrummond and Karl A. Roider, Jr. Finally, to my parents I owe eternal gratitude for their lifelong guidance and encouragement.

He ascended the throne following the tragic death of his father and elder brother in Lisbon on February 1, 1908. Unpre­ pared for the responsibilities which befell him, he proved unable to resolve Portugal's internal problems and in 1910

  • Doornkop, May 1900
    Second Doornkop, May 1900 Four years later the British were back at Doornkop. That is, if one presumes the Rhodesian raiders, acting in the private interest of Rhodes and his fellow conspirators to overthrow the ZAR government, were “British”; and if one assumes a rather loose definition of the battlefield to be described. Fig 62: Boers in the field, this group at Spioenkop in the Natal Colony. Fig 63: British troops take aim, this photo taken at Colesberg in the Cape Colony. Pics: ABWM. May 1900 was towards the end of the first year of war. The South African War, also known as the Second or Anglo Boer War had started badly for Britain with a series of setbacks in October and November 1899 that saw British forces besieged at Ladysmith, Kimberley as well as Mafekeng and followed by Black Week, a series of calamities in the Cape and Natal during December 1899: Stormberg (10 December), Magersfontein (11 December) and Colenso (15 December). Over the New Year the British had recovered their posture and early in the year they had launched a general counter-offensive in both the Cape and Natal. By March Bloemfontein had fallen and Imperial forces were poised to move on the ZAR, which they reached in May. “Second Doornkop”, is a controversial battle, one which several writers have condemned as unnecessary. Field Marshal Lord Michael Carver writes in The National Army Museum Book of the Boer War that Lt Gen Ian Hamilton “engaged in what many thought a needlessly direct frontal attack. 95 ” Pakenham goes further saying the attack, when made, took some of its observers aback: “Then to the surprise of one of the brigadiers, (Maj Gen Hutton) and one of the correspondents (Churchill), Hamilton launched his two infantry brigades on a four mile wide frontal attack on the ridge.” 96 Both statements need interrogation; suffice to say the attack forms an integral part of the greater battle of Johannesburg that took place over two days in late May 1900.

  • KIIS DENMARK, Summer 2018
    KIIS DENMARK, Summer 2018 HIST 490 Viking Age to Modern State Instructor: Dr. Carolyn Dupont Contact information: [email protected] Course Description, Objectives, and Content: This course will explore the broad sweep of Danish history. We will explore daily life in Viking society, Viking religion and culture, and, of course, the Viking exploits abroad. We will examine in detail the transformation of Denmark from a pagan, Viking society to a modern Christian state. Training our lens on more recent times, we examine Danish society and Denmark’s role in global affairs at the height of its power in the 16th century. In the final sessions, we will look at the occupation of Denmark by the Germans during World War II, as well as Denmark’s astounding rescue of its Jewish population. Students should be very aware that the course will not proceed chronologically. We will move back and forth among the various historical eras, because we want to take advantage of historical sites that cannot necessarily be visited in chronological order. Student Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1) Describe and explain the major facets of Viking society 2) Describe and explain the reason for the Vikings’ ultimate embrace of Christianity 3) Identify and describe key turning points and trends in Danish history 4) Identify and describe how the major events and trends in modern European history have unfolded in Denmark 5) Demonstrate an understanding of how perspective and vantage point shape the telling of history 6) Critically evaluate the role played by perspective and vantage point at sites where Denmark’s history is told Readings (all readings will be provided by the instructor and placed in a Dropbox folder) Excerpts from Knud J.V.

  • The Effect of the Establishment of the Portuguese Republic on the Revenue of Secular Brotherhoods—The Case of “Bom Jesus De Braga”1
    The Effect of the Establishment of the Portuguese Republic on the Revenue of Secular 1 Brotherhoods—the Case of “Bom Jesus de Braga” Paulo Mourão2 Abstract Following its establishment in 1910, the First Portuguese Republic adopted a markedly anticlerical profile during its early years. Consequently, we hypothesize that the revenue of Portuguese religious institutions should reflect a clear structural break in 1910. However, one of Portugal’s most important historical pilgrimage sites (“Bom Jesus de Braga”) does not seem to have experienced a very significant break. Relying on time series econometrics (consisting primarily of recurring tests for multiple structural breaks), we studied the series of the Bom Jesus revenue between 1863 and 1952 (i.e., between the confiscation of church property by the constitutional monarchy and the stabilization of the Second Republic). It was concluded that 1910 does not represent a significant date for identifying a structural break in this series. However, the last quarter of the nineteenth century cannot be neglected in terms of the structural changes occurring in the Bom Jesus revenue. Keywords Portuguese economic history; anticlericalism; Bom Jesus de Braga; structural breaks Resumo Após o estabelecimento, em 1910, a Primeira República Portuguesa assumiu um perfil anticlerical durante os seus primeiros anos. Consequentemente, poderíamos supor que as receitas das instituições religiosas portuguesas refletiram quebras estruturais em 1910. No entanto, um dos mais importantes centros históricos de peregrinação de Portugal (o "Bom Jesus de Braga") parece ter passado esses anos sem quebras significativas. Baseando-nos em análises econométricas de séries temporais (principalmente testes sobre quebras estruturais), estudámos com detalhe a série de receitas de Bom Jesus entre 1863 e 1952 (ou seja, entre o confisco da propriedade da igreja pela monarquia constitucional e a estabilização da Segunda República).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

This participatory political theology, as I name it, endorses modern democracy and the values of civic engagement. It enhances the process of democracy-building and consolidation in the SEE countries through cultivating the ethos of participation and concern with the common good among and the recognition of the dignity and freedom of the person.
