The thesis explores the importance of these events for queens as both a personal and public experience, and questions the existence of distinctly Western and Eastern styles of queenship. A comparative study of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ ceremony in the sixteenth century has never been attempted before and sixteenth- century Polish queens usually do not appear in any collective works about queenship, even those which claim to have a pan-European focus. -

How Forks and Toilets Used by Henry III of France Became the Hot Political
How forks and toilets used by Henry III of France became the hot political issue in Poland Hello! I am Tomek „Polimerek” Ganicz I am here to tell you a bit strange story…. You can find me at [email protected] 1 Some historical introduction Short and hopefully not that boring HENRY III OF FRANCE (and Poland for short time) Henry III (1551 –1589); was King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1573 to 1575 and King of France from 1574 until his death. During his brief rule in Poland, he signed the Henrician Articles into law, recognizing the Polish nobility's right to freely elect their monarch. Aged 22, abandoned Poland inheriting the French throne. CULTURE SHOCK We, Poles had toilets in our castles, French nobelman were still pissing at random places…. (partially true) [1] We, Poles were using forks, French were still eating with their hands (rather not true) [2] Henry III introduced in France toilets and forks after leaving Poland (rather not true) [1] [1] http://thisisversaillesmadame.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-lack-of-toilets.html [2] Civitello L., Cuisine and Culture: A History of Food and People, John Wiley & Sons CARACAL STORY 2014: Poland signed agreement to buy Eurocopter EC725 (Caracal) from France 2016: New Polish goverment suddenly rejected the agreement French government reacts emotionally accusing Poland of behaving „in non- civilised way” and not allowing Polish gov. delegation to attend Euronaval exhibition Polish vice-minster, Bartosz Kownacki of defence reacted: To strona francuska dawno temu zapraszała nas oficjalnie, teraz nas wyprasza. [..] Ale wie pan, to są ludzie, którzy uczyli się od nas jeść widelcem parę wieków temu, więc być może w “ taki sposób się teraz zachowują. -

Early Modern Low Countries 4 (2020) 2, pp. 205-233 - eISSN: 2543-1587 205 Disputed State, Contested Hospitality: Dutch Ambassadors in Search of a New Overlord at the French Court of King Henry iii, 1584-1585 Bram van Leuveren Bram van Leuveren is Lecturer in Arts, Culture, and Media Studies at the University of Gronin- gen. His research focusses on the salient role of the performing arts and ceremonial protocol in supporting diplomatic relations between France and its most important European associates in the late sixteenth to seventeenth centuries, including England, Spain, and the Low Countries. His first monograph, Early Modern Diplomacy and French Festival Culture, 1572-1615, based on his doctoral research at the University of St Andrews, is under contract with Brill. Abstract In December 1584, the States-General of the Union of Utrecht dispatched a special embassy to Paris to offer King Henry iii of France the titular rule of their estates. Henry was to replace Philip ii of Spain, the legitimate overlord of the seventeen provinces, whom the States-General had deposed in July 1581 in direct violation of the sacred institution of the monarchy. Although largely overlooked by historians, the special embassy provides a fascinating insight into the intricate European ram- ifications of the Union of Utrecht’s search for overlordship prior to the foundation of the Dutch Republic in April 1588. This article focuses on the divided reception of the special embassy to France from the perspective of the Union of Utrecht, espe- cially among the powerful nobility of Holland, many of whom shared anti-French sentiments, and from the vantage point of the English and Spanish ambassadors in Paris, who tried to either intervene or obstruct the Dutch-French negotiations in a bid to alter Europe’s balance of power to their advantage. -
The White Plumes of Navarre
THE WHITE PLUMES OF NAVARRE A Romance of the Wars of Religion BY S. R. CROCKET The White Plumes of Navarre BEFORE THE CURTAIN RISES The night was hot in Paris. Breathless heat had brooded over the city all Saturday, the 23rd of August, 1572. It was the eve of Saint Bartholomew. The bell of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois had just clashed out the signal. The Louvre was one blaze of lights. Men with lanterns and poleaxes, as if going to the shambles to kill oxen, hurried along the streets. Only in the houses in which were lodged the great Huguenot gentlemen, come to the city for the marriage of the King's sister Marguerite to the King of Navarre, there were darkness and silence. None had warned them—or, at least, they had taken no warning. If any suspected, the word of a King, his sworn oaths and multitudinous safe-conducts, lulled them back again into security. In one chamber, high above the courtyard, a light burned faint and steady. It was that beside the bed of the great Admiral—Coligny. He had been treacherously wounded by the arquebuse of one of the guard of the King's brother—Monsieur de France, Henry Duke of Anjou, afterwards to be known to history as Henry III., the favourite son of Catherine de Medici, the cunningest, and the most ungrateful. There watched by that bedside many grave men, holding grave discourse with each other and with the sick man, concerning the high mysteries of the religion, pure and reformed, of the state of France, and their hopes of better days for the Faith as it had been delivered to the saints. -

The History of Private Violence
THE HISTORY OF PRIVATE VIOLENCE Erkki Holmila 1. Introduction Since the very beginnings of organized violence armed force (loosely speak- ing) has been applied through the use of professional ad hoc soldiers, often of foreign origin. Yet in the last few centuries the idea that men should not take part in armed conflict for monetary compensation has come to be an almost unquestionable fact of life. Contracted combatants, including mercenaries, are almost universally condemned and the word itself is highly pejorative. To accuse somebody of being a mercenary is to make a moral statement about the persons character and occupation. This chapter will briefly explain mercenarism in a wider historical context. It would be difficult to understand the practice of using private citizens in warfare without knowledge of the social and historical context in which this activity takes and has taken place. Another reason for describing the history of the use of mercenaries in some detail is to show that the monopolisation of violence into the public sphere is a rather recent trend. The best example, of course, is the fact that the basic social institution in international relations the nation state is merely a few hundred years old. During this short time of the nation states existence it has become the dominant player in international affairs as well as the primary subject of international law, but it would be wrong to assume that this has always been, or that it will necessarily continue to be, the case.1 Standing armies are very much connected with the nation state and conse- quently they are also relatively new in the history of warfare. -

HUFFMAN This article explores medieval and Renaissance evidence for the origins and rneaning of the imperial regalia privileges exercised by the Greek archbishops of Cyprus, said to have been granted by the Ernperor Zeno ( c. 42 to 9- I), along with autocephaly, upon the discovery of the relics of the Apostle Barnabas. Though clairned to have existed ab antiquo, these imperial privileges in fact have their origin in the late sixteenth century and bear the characteristics of western Latin ecclesial and political thought. With the Donation of Constantine as their pmtotype, they bolster the case rnade to the Italians and the French for saving Christian Cyprus frorn the Turks. -
