Ablabius, Ablavius 48N36, 50, 51, 59 Aeneas 54N63, 101–2, 106N69 Index The term ‘barbarian’ occurs too frequently in the text to be included comprehensively in this index, and entries are given only for specific topics in relation to discussion ‘barbarians’ not otherwise specified with a particular identity; further entries will be found, again with refer- ence only to specific topics, under the headings of the principal barbarian peoples discussed in this book. Page ranges for chapters devoted to the principal narratives examined above are also not given; rather, I provide only references to particular topics, as readers can easily find the pages devoted to those works by consulting the table of contents. Index entries for a selection of modern scholars whose work has been particularly useful or influential provide references only to explicit discussions of their work or citations of particularly important or influential arguments, not to all citations of their scholarship above.

    The Builder Magazine October 1921 - Volume VII - Number 10 Memorials to Great Men Who Were Masons STEPHEN VAN RENSSELAE BY BRO. GEO. W. BAIRD, P.G.M., DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA STEPHEN VAN RENSSELAER, "the first of the Patroons" in the State of New York, was born in the City of New York, and was Grand Master of Masons of that State for four years. We excerpt the following from the History of the Grand Lodge of New York: "Stephen Van Rensselaer, known as the Patroon, an American statesman, and patron of learning, was born in New York, November 1, 1769, the fifth in descent from Killien Van Rensselaer, the original patroon or proprietor of the Dutch Colony of Rensselaerwick, who in 1630, and subsequently, purchased a tract of land near Albany, forty-eight miles long by twenty-four wide, extending over three counties. He was educated at Princeton and Harvard colleges, and married a daughter of General Philip Schuyler, a distinguished officer of the Revolution. Engaging early in politics, at a period when they were the pursuit of men of the highest social position, he was, in 1789, elected to the State Legislature; in 1795, to the State Senate, and became Lieutenant Governor, president of a State convention, and Canal Commissioner. Turning his attention to military affairs, he was, at the beginning of the war of 1812, in command of the State militia, and led the assault of Queenstown; but the refusal of a portion of his troops, from constitutional scruples, to cross the Niagara River, enabled the British to repulse the attack, and the General resigned in disgust.

Renoux (dir.), Le Mans, Publications de l’Université du Maine, 1996, pp. 181-196 – Distribuito in formato digitale da “Reti Medievali”] Il n’est pas facile, après les travaux de Carlrichard Brühl 1, d’aborder la question des palais du royaume d’Italie avec l’espoir de présenter des conclusions originales. La multiplication récente des recherches sur ce thème de notre côté des Alpes autorise toutefois un nouvel examen des données italiennes, sous des angles que l’auteur n’avait pas envisagés. On entendra par palais le séjour royal temporaire, lieu de gouvernement a priori doté des bâtiments nécessaires à la représentation publique et au logement du souverain et de sa suite, en n’étudiant cependant que les sites explicitement désignés par le vocable palatium dans les sources contemporaines – quel que soit leur degré réel ou supposé de « palatialité » : leur fréquentation, par exemple, est parfois inférieure à celle d’autres points de l’itinéraire royal, mais cela n’est pas déterminant pour la désignation. Il convient du reste de s’interroger sur l’évolution de la terminologie, qui peut avoir une importance politique, avant de chercher la logique qui commande la localisation des différents palais. Les données rassemblées sur chaque palatium pourraient aussi fournir la base d’une enquête archéologique, qui reste à faire : où l’on rejoint le thème en vogue de l’« archéologie du pouvoir ».

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PHILADELPHIA, IQO7 Sold by LONGMANS, GREEN & Co. 91 and 93 Fifth Avenue, New York COPYRIGHT, 1906, BY WILLIAM DUDLEY FOULKE. 5 PREFACE. MOMMSEN declares that Paul the Deacon's history of Italy, from the foundation of Rome to the beginning of the time of the Carlovingians, is properly the step- ping-stone from the culture of the ancient to that of the modern world, marking the transition and connecting the their immi- both together ; that Langobards upon gration into Italy not only exchanged their own lan- guage for that of their new home, but also adopted the traditions and early history of Rome without, however, their that it is in this fact abandoning own ; good part which put the culture of the modern world upon the it that no one has felt this road on which moves to-day ; in a more living manner than Paul, and that no one has contributed so much through his writings to secure for the world the possession of Roman and Germanic tra- dition by an equal title as did this Benedictine monk when, after the overthrow of his ancestral kingdom, he 1 wrote its history as part of the history of Italy. Whatever therefore were his limitations as an author, the writings of Paul the Deacon mark an epoch.

Le présent article analyse l’épistolaire papal du VIIIe siècle et le Liber Pontificalis afin d’établir les stratégies derrière cette campagne. Ensuite, il se penche sur la réaction des Lombards après la Éditeur(s) conquête et s’attarde aux efforts de Paul Diacre et de l’auteur anonyme de l’Origo Langobardorum codicis Gothanis pour remettre en question le portrait The Canadian Historical Association / La Société historique du Canada des Lombards dressé par la cour pontificale et pour se réapproprier le passé chrétien de leur peuple. Tant Paul que l’Origo de Gotha ont mis l’accent sur ISSN l’importance de la conversion – et surtout du rôle de Grégoire le Grand – dans la réhabilitation des Lombards. Cet article avance que leurs travaux 0847-4478 (imprimé) constituent une tentative des Lombards de dissocier leur foi chrétienne de la 1712-6274 (numérique) conquête et de se réapproprier le récit de leur propre passé.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Land and Landscape: The Transition from Agilolfing to Carolingian Bavaria, 700-900 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Leanne Marie Good 2012 © Copyright by Leanne Marie Good 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Land and Landscape: The Transition from Agilolfing to Carolingian Bavaria, 700-900 by Leanne Marie Good Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Patrick Geary, Chair This dissertation examines the transformation of the political, social, cultural and physical landscape of eighth-century Bavaria as this region was absorbed into the expanding Frankish kingdom, following the deposition of its quasi-regal duke, Tassilo, in 788. My study aims to elucidate the wider process by which the Carolingian dynasty united most of Western Europe under its control in the course of a few decades. It is my contention that changes made during this period to the organization of agricultural land and ecclesiastical jurisdictions - the physical use of land resources, and their mental demarcations - changed perceptions of identity and supported changes in rulership. ii At the beginning of the eighth century, the family referred to by historians as the Arnulfings or Pippinids, increased their power greatly through a variety of strategems (the term Carolingian, from the name of its most famous scion, is often projected back). This family controlled the office of Mayor of the Palace to the Merovingian kings; in that role, Charles Martel essentially functioned as the political leader of the Franks. His son Pippin inherited the office, and took the title of King of the Franks, as well, which threatened the balance of aristocratic power in the kingdom and the peripheral duchies.

The hagiographical Revelatio ecclesiae de sancti Michaelis details the foundation of Mont Saint-Michel by St. Aubert of Avranches, Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis archangeli in Monte qui dicitur Tumba V, edited by Pierre Bouet and Olivier Desbordes, Chroniques latines du Mont Saint-Michel (IXe–XIIe si è cle), vol. 1 (Caen: Presses universitaires de Caen, 2009), pp. 98–99. All Latin citations are from Bouet’s edition. Mabillon’s edition is published as Apparitio de Sancti Michaelis in Monte Tumba , AASS, September 8.76–79, which John Charles Arnold translates into English: “The ‘Revelatio Ecclesiae de Sancti Michaelis’ and the Mediterranean Origins of Mont St.-Michel,” The Heroic Age 10 (May 2007), http://www.mun.ca/mst/heroicage/issues/10/arnold. html . All English citations are from that publication. The Bayeux Tapestry famously depicts Harold Godwinson pulling soldiers from quicksand with Mont Saint-Michel in the background.
