Bachrach – David S. Bachrach NITHARD AS A MILITARY HISTORIAN OF THE CAROLINGIAN EMPIRE, C 833–843 Introduction Despite the substantially greater volume of sources that provide information about the military affairs of the ninth century as compared to the eighth, the lion’s share of scholarly attention concerning Carolingian military history has been devoted to the reign of Charlemagne, particularly before his imperial coronation in 800, rather than to his descendants1. Indeed, much of the basic work on the sources, that is required to establish how they can be used to answer questions about military matters in the period after Charlemagne, remains to be done. An unfortunate side-effect of this rel- ative neglect of military affairs as well as source criticism for the ninth century has been considerable confusion about the nature and conduct of war in this period2.

  • 1 Making a Difference in Tenth-Century Politics: King
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository 1 Making a Difference in Tenth-Century Politics: King Athelstan’s Sisters and Frankish Queenship Simon MacLean (University of St Andrews) ‘The holy laws of kinship have purposed to take root among monarchs for this reason: that their tranquil spirit may bring the peace which peoples long for.’ Thus in the year 507 wrote Theoderic, king of the Ostrogoths, to Clovis, king of the Franks.1 His appeal to the ideals of peace between kin was designed to avert hostilities between the Franks and the Visigoths, and drew meaning from the web of marital ties which bound together the royal dynasties of the early-sixth-century west. Theoderic himself sat at the centre of this web: he was married to Clovis’s sister, and his daughter was married to Alaric, king of the Visigoths.2 The present article is concerned with a much later period of European history, but the Ostrogothic ruler’s words nevertheless serve to introduce us to one of its central themes, namely the significance of marital alliances between dynasties. Unfortunately the tenth-century west, our present concern, had no Cassiodorus (the recorder of the king’s letter) to methodically enlighten the intricacies of its politics, but Theoderic’s sentiments were doubtless not unlike those that crossed the minds of the Anglo-Saxon and Frankish elite families who engineered an equally striking series of marital relationships among themselves just over 400 years later. In the early years of the tenth century several Anglo-Saxon royal women, all daughters of King Edward the Elder of Wessex (899-924) and sisters (or half-sisters) of his son King Athelstan (924-39), were despatched across the Channel as brides for Frankish and Saxon rulers and aristocrats.

    Hamlet with the Princes of Denmark: An exploration of the case of Hálfdan ‘king of the Danes’ Stephen M. Lewis University of Caen Normandy, CRAHAM [email protected] As their military fortunes waxed and waned, the Scandinavian armies would move back and forth across the Channel with some regularity [...] appearing under different names and in different constellations in different places – Neil Price1 Little is known about the power of the Danish kings in the second half of the ninth century when several Viking forces ravaged Frankia and Britain – Niels Lund2 The Anglo-Saxon scholar Patrick Wormald once pointed out: ‘It is strange that, while students of other Germanic peoples have been obsessed with the identity and office of their leaders, Viking scholars have said very little of such things – a literal case of Hamlet without princes of Denmark!’3 The reason for this state of affairs is two-fold. First, there is a dearth of reliable historical, linguistic and archaeological evidence regarding the origins of the so-called ‘great army’ in England, except that it does seem, and is generally believed, that they were predominantly Danes - which of course does not at all mean that they all they came directly from Denmark itself, nor that ‘Danes’ only came from the confines of modern Denmark. Clare Downham is surely right in saying that ‘the political history of vikings has proved controversial due to a lack of consensus as to what constitutes reliable evidence’.4 Second, the long and fascinating, but perhaps ultimately unhealthy, obsession with the legendary Ragnarr loðbrók and his litany of supposed sons has distracted attention from what we might learn from a close and separate examination of some of the named leaders of the ‘great army’ in England, without any inferences being drawn from later Northern sagas about their dubious familial relationships to one another.5 This article explores the case of one such ‘Prince of Denmark’ called Hálfdan ‘king of the Danes’.

  • Second Ordo Article
    THE MAKING OF THE SECOND ENGLISH CORONATION ORDO DAVID PRATT ABSTRACT This article reassesses the Second English Coronation Ordo in the light of its relationship to Carolingian sources. The dependence of the Ordo on a distinctive West Frankish source, here termed the Leiden Ordo, has many implications since the Leiden Ordo seems likely to have been composed for the anointing of Charles the Straightforward by Fulk of Rheims in January 893. This finding provides a probable context for the importing of West Frankish ordines in King Alfred’s dealings with Rheims. It also strengthens the case for placing the Second Ordo in the mid or late 890s, rather than early in Æthelstan’s reign. Anointing practices were directly implicated in the ‘crisis of authority’ affecting the Carolingian world in the late ninth century. The new understanding of the Second Ordo adds a further dimension to King Alfred’s efforts to promote the ‘kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons’, and has wider implications for the development of royal ordines in western Europe. An important question, with a bearing on political ideas and cross-Channel contact in the later Anglo-Saxon period, concerns the dating of the liturgical text known as the Second English Coronation Ordo. The text has a pivotal position in the development of the English anointing rite.1 The seminal work of Janet Nelson placed the understanding of the late Anglo-Saxon coronation service on new foundations. Firstly, her study of the Ordo in the Leofric Missal (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Bodley 579) revealed this text to be of probable English origin, and thus rightly identified as the First English Ordo.2 Secondly, Nelson disentangled the complex record of the Second English Ordo, establishing the priority of the A-version, represented by the Sacramentary of Ratold and by a large group of Continental manuscripts.3 The A-version should be distinguished from the later B-version, transmitted in a number of 1 Ordines Coronationis Franciae: Texts and Ordines for the Coronation of Frankish and French Kings and Queens in the Middle Ages, ed.

  • Autonomy and Authority Between Alcuin, Theodulf and Charlemagne (802) Rutger Kramer*
    231 The Exemption that Proves the Rule: Autonomy and Authority between Alcuin, Theodulf and Charlemagne (802) Rutger Kramer* When the two Carolingian intellectuals Alcuin of Tours and Theodulf of Orleans engaged in a dispute over the fate of a criminal who had sought asylum in the church of Saint Martin in Tours, their conflict quickly turned into a heated political debate that reached the highest level of the Frankish Empire. As evidenced by the letters written during this altercation, this seem­ ingly simple matter of church asylum brought up intractable questions of who should arbitrate on matters such as these, what it would mean if bishops interfered in church matters outside their own diocese, and how this matter affected the essential unity of the Carolingian church. From appeals to personal responsibility to the institutionalisation of the Empire, the debate be­ tween Alcuin, Theodulf and Charlemagne was ultimately about everybody’s place in the greater scheme of things, and the question of who should play by the rules, and who would be exempt. Keywords: Carolingian empire; Charlemagne; Alcuin; Theodulf of Orléans; church asylum; conflict resolution; letters; politics and religion; imperium; ecclesia. In the year 802, a conflict erupted between Alcuin, abbot of the community around the church of Saint Martin in Tours (735­804; r. 796­804), and Theodulf, bishop of the nearby city of Orléans (750­821; r. 791­818).1 The catalyst was a refugee cleric from Orléans. Convic­ ted by an episcopal court for an otherwise unknown crime, he had escaped from his prison and fled to the basilica of Saint Martin, where he claimed sanctuary and requested an audi­ ence with the emperor to plead his case.

  • Extended Notes for Toward Democracy
    NOTES TO INTRODUCTION 1 EXTENDED NOTES FOR TOWARD DEMOCRACY Note to Readers The following notes, prepared with the help of Abigail Modaff of Harvard University, contain fuller documentation for James T. Kloppenberg, Toward Democracy: The Struggle for Self-Rule in European and American Thought, published by Oxford University Press in June, 2016. Page references within these notes refer to the print version of the book. As is indicated on p. 711 of that edition, many of the notes in this document contain a greater range of references and commentary than are available in the book. Readers will, however, find that a few of the notes that are followed by an asterisk in the print version do not differ from the notes in this document; those asterisks will be removed, and typographical errors corrected, in later printings of Toward Democracy. Introduction 1. See the UNESCO report edited by Richard McKeon, Democracy in a World of Tensions (Chicago, 1951), 522. Influential assessments of the universality of democracy at the turn of the twenty-first century include Amartya Sen, “Democracy as a Universal Value,” Journal of Democracy 10 (1999): 3–17; and the widely circulated report by Freedom House, Democracy’s Century: A Survey of Political Change in the Twentieth Century (New York, 1999), which reported that the number of democratic nations had mushroomed from a mere handful in 1900 to over 60 percent by the end of the century. Although those nations contained less than 40 percent of the world’s population, the report confidently predicted that the further expansion of democracy, now praised if not NOTES TO INTRODUCTION 2 yet practiced everywhere, was only a matter of time.
