Sie wurde im Sommersemester 1971 von der Philosophischen Fa• kultät der Rheinischen Friedrich Wilhelms-Universität als Dissertation angenommen. Die Arbeit stützt sich auf das von Eugen Ewig erarbeitete merowingi- sche Namenmaterial. Der Bestand an Personennamen wurde vollständig überarbeitet und auf die Bedürfnisse einer Prosopographie zugeschnitten. Meinem Doktorvater gebührt herzlicher Dank für manchen Rat, den er mir während der Arbeit an der Prosopographie zuteil werden ließ. Ich habe Herrn Prof. Dr. Karl Ferdinand Werner, Direktor des Deut• schen Historischen Instituts in Paris, aufrichtig zu danken, der die Pro• sopographie in die Reihe der Beihefte der "Francia" aufgenommen hat, sowie Herrn Dr. Hartmut Atsma, der die Arbeit redaktionell betreute. Die vorliegende Prosopographie will als Versuch verstanden werden, Namenmaterial personengeschichtlich aufzuarbeiten. Die gewonnenen Er• kenntnisse bleiben in mancher Hinsicht hypothetisch. Inwieweit sie kor• rigiert werden können, hängt in erster Linie von der Interpretation der Quellen selbst ab. Die Prosopographie ist Prof. Dr. Eugen Ewig in herzlicher Dank• barkeit zugeeignet.

Der Personenkreis, der in ihr aufgenommen wurde, umfaßt — die Vorfahren der Karolinger ausgenommen, über die eine umfangreiche Li• teratur vorliegt — Große des Merowingerreiches, die entweder durch eine Amtsbezeichnung oder durch ein Standesprädikat hervortreten, aber auch Urkundenschreiber, die mit einer Amtsbezeichnung genannt werden. Die Nachrichten über diesen Personenkreis gehen nach Aussage der Quellen naturgemäß weit auseinander. Bei der Zusammenstellung der Prosopographie wurde in jedem einzelnen Fall der zeitgenössische Beleg aufgesucht und zugrundegelegt, der gegebenenfalls durch spätere Quel• lenaussagen ergänzt worden ist. Es wurden also nur Personen aufgenom• men, die durch eine zeitgenössische Quelle bezeugt sind. Dieser strenge Maßstab schien notwendig, um in dem oft verwirrenden Bild der Quel• lenüberlieferung Klarheit zu gewinnen und eine einigermaßen sichere Grundlage für eine weiterführende Diskussion zu schaffen. Innerhalb der einzelnen Artikel wurde die bis 1970 erschienene kritische Literatur — soweit diese nicht kontrovers war — berücksichtigt, wenn sie bestimm• te Landschaften im Zusammenhang behandelte und auch die Identifizie• rung bestimmter Amtsträger eindeutig erschien. Die einzelnen Prosopographien mußten aus Gründen der Übersicht• lichkeit alphabetisch geordnet werden, da Familienzusammenhänge oder Amtskontinuitäten nur in ganz wenigen Fällen sichtbar geworden sind. Die Zusammenstellung der Namenformen folgt den Namen desselben Bestimmungswortes. Die innerhalb eines solchen Bestimmungswortes zu• sammengefaßten Personennamen verzeichnen die Namenträger wiederum in chronologischer Reihenfolge. Vieles blieb Wagnis. Der Personenname konnte nur in ganz wenigen Fällen als Mittel zur Identifikation heran• gezogen werden. Gleichheit der Namen weist auf Identität oder Ver• wandtschaft hin, genügt aber als alleiniges Argument nicht. Die Prosopo• graphie stellt insofern einen Versuch dar, mit Hilfe zuverlässiger Quel• lenaussagen eine Grundlage für die Erforschung von Ämtern zu schaffen und damit Einblick in die Verfassungsverhältnisse der Merowingerzeit zu geben. Die prosopographische Erfassung von Großen, die nachweislich ein Amt ausgeübt haben, gibt dabei auch eine Antwort auf die Frage, was die Führungsschicht vorwiegend des VII. Jhdts. ausgezeichnet hat. 9 DIE VERFASSUNGSGESCHICHTLICHE DISKUSSION In den vergangenen Jahren ist die wissenschaftliche Diskussion über Probleme der frühfränkischen Verfassungsgeschichte recht lebhaft geführt worden. Ihr zentrales Anliegen war die Frage nach der Herkunft und Zusammensetzung der frühfränkischen Führungsschicht. Daß noch keine Übereinstimmung insbesondere über den rechtlichen Status der fränki• schen Aristokratie erreicht wurde, zeigt, um welch schwierige Materie es sich handelt. In der vorliegenden Prosopographie bildet die zeitgenössische Über• lieferung über den einzelnen Amtsträger und den mit einem Standes• prädikat bezeichneten Großen die Grundlage für die Identifizierung der Personen und die Bestimmung ihres Wirkungskreises. Die im VII. und frühen VIII. Jhdt. rechtlich und sozialgeschichtlich relevanten Amts• bezeichnungen waren jeweils in dem ganz konkreten Bezug Quelle für Quelle zu untersuchen. In einer an Institutionen noch armen Zeit sind es die amtsausübenden Großen, die das regnum durch ihre Teilnahme an der Staatsführung tra• gen. Das Amt erweist sich als hervorragendes Mittel, an den politischen Entscheidungen mitzuwirken. Dies gilt bereits für das VI. und besonders für das VII. Jhdt. Die Bedeutung der Ämter im Merowingerreich ist in der Diskussion zwischen D. Claude und R. Sprandel erneut in den Vordergrund gerückt worden. In der lebhaft geführten Auseinandersetzung ging es — was das Dux- und Comes-Amt betrifft — im wesentlichen um die Klärung der Konti• nuität der beiden Ämter. R. Sprandel hat in einer ersten Darstellung zum "Dux und comes in der Merovingerzeit*1 eine Kontinuität des spät• antiken Dux-Amtes mit dem merowingischen dux verneint und dabei in Frage gestellt, ob es im VII. Jhdt. überhaupt ein Dux-Amt gegeben hat2. Sprandel ist der Meinung, der dux Fredegars und der anderer Chronisten sei kein Amtsträger, sondern lediglich "ein großer Adeliger, der vom König mit Aufträgen versehene Führer von Truppen und Volkshaufen*3. Ausführlicher behandelte Sprandel das Comes-Amt. Zwischen dem Stadt- comes des VI. und dem Landcomes des VII. Jhdts. besteht nach Sprandel ein deutlicher Gegensatz, der auf einen Bruch in der Kontinuität hin• weist4. Im VII. Jhdt. war comes nur mehr "der persönliche Titel eines Mannes"5, eines Großen aus königlicher Umgebung, "die comes-Bezeich- 1 ZRG. GA. 74 (1957) p. 41-84. * A. a. O., p. 52. 5 A. a. O. 1 A. a. O., p. 54. 4 A. a. O., p. 69. 10 nung war nur eine unter vielen"6, "war immer nur eine unter mehreren Möglichkeiten*7. Diesen Auffassungen ist D. Claude entgegengetreten. Seine "Unter• suchungen zum frühfränkischen Comitat*8 tragen insofern einen grund• legenden Charakter, als sie die verfassungsgeschichtliche Bedeutung der beiden Ämter in engen Zusammenhang mit der Wechselwirkung von Kö• nigtum und Oberschicht stellen. Im Gegensatz zu Sprandel zeigte Claude, der die überzeugendere Interpretation der Quellen bietet, daß der comes des VII. Jhdts. vielfach noch geschlossene civitates verwaltete, wenn auch seine Amtsbefugnisse nicht immer eindeutig aus den Quellen der Zeit geklärt werden können. Neben dem comes civitatis weist Claude auch comites pagi als Amtsträger nach. Den Amtscharakter des Dukats hat Claude für das VI. Jhdt. ein• wandfrei erhärtet, für das VII. Jhdt. aber eine Entwicklung zur Herr• schaft unter gleichzeitiger Abschwächung des Amtscharakters festgestellt. Diese Entwicklung trat namentlich in den nicht zentral gelegenen Gebie• ten des Reichs ein. Auf Claudes Argumentation ist Sprandel in einer Miszelle eingegan• gen9, in der er erneut gegen die Kontinuität des comes civitatis-Amtes Stellung bezog und Claudes Auffassung des Dux-Amtes in Frage zu stel• len suchte. Die Argumente für den Amtscharakter des Dukats konnte Sprandel jedoch nicht entkräften. Gegen den von Claude auch noch für das VII. Jhdt. postulierten Civitascomitat führte Sprandel an, daß die für diese Zeit bezeugten comites civitatis außerhalb des Loire-Raumes auftreten, in dem diese Amtsträger vor allem für das VI. Jhdt. überliefert werden10. Claude begegnete diesem Einwand

  • Origin and Early History of Double Monasteries
    ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY OF DOUBLE MONASTERIES. BY MISS MARY BATESON I.—INQUIRY CONCERNING THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES M. VARIN'S learned monograph ' at present stands alone as an attempt to ascertain the origin of the double monastery, or monastery for men and women. He deals with the subject incidentally as part of a thesis on the points at issue between the Breton and Roman Church, and he handles his whole theme controversially. In spite of this fact, his argument on the subject of double monasteries has met with general acceptance, for example, from Montalembert,2 Ozanam,3 Haddan,4 Professor Mayor,5 and M. Maurice Prou.6 M. Varin seeks to prove that St. Rhadegund's foundation at Poitiers was the first example of this form of organisation among the Western nations of the Continent, and that its origin is directly traceable to Irish influences. It is the object of this essay to suggest a different conclusion, to collect the evidence on the subject from the scattered sources where alone it is at present accessible, and incidentally to criticise the arguments adduced by M. Varin. It is imperative in the first place to establish a definition of the half-technical term' double monastery.'

  • Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's
    Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s Volume I: Continental Ancestors Before Hastings David Anderson March 2016 Charlemagne’s Europe – 800 AD For additional information, please contact David Anderson at: [email protected] 508 409 8597 Stained glass window depicting Charles Martel at Strasbourg Cathedral. Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

  • The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium Trans
    The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium trans. with an introduction by Benjamin T. G. Mayes October 2001 Source: Wilhelm Loehe, Martyrologium. Zur Erklärung der herkömmlichen Kalendernamen. (Nürnberg: Verlag von Gottfr. Löhe, 1868). Introduction. Loehe's Martyrologium of 1868 was not his first attempt at a Lutheran sanctoral calendar. Already in 1859, he had his Haus-, Schul- und Kirchenbuch für Christen des lutherischen Bekenntnisses printed, in which he included a sanctoral calendar which was different in many ways from his later, corrected version. The earlier calendar contained many more names, normally at least two names per day. Major feasts were labelled with their Latin names. But the earlier calendar also had errors. Many dates were marked with a question mark. A comparison of the two calendars shows that in the earlier calendar, Loehe had mistaken Cyprian the Sorcerer (Sept. 26) with Cyprian of Carthage. On the old calendar's April 13th, Hermenegild was a princess. In the new one, he's a prince. In the earlier calendar, Hildegard the Abbess (Sept. 17) was dated in the 300's. In the new one, she is dated 1179. In fact, in the later calendar, I would suppose that half of the dates have been changed. Loehe was conscious of the limitations of his calendar. He realized especially how difficult the selection of names was. His calendar contains the names of many Bavarian saints. This is to be expected, considering the fact that his parish, Neuendettelsau, is located in Bavaria. Loehe gave other reasons for the selection of names in his Martyrologium: "The booklet follows the old calendar names.

  • Descendants of Paramund
    Descendants of Paramund Generation 1 1. PARAMUND was born in 370 AD in Westphalia, Germany. He died in 430 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. He married ARGOTTA. She was born in 376 AD in France. She died in 432 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. Notes for Paramund: Paramund was born about 370 AM in Westphalia, Germany. He died about 430 AD at Rhine River Valley, Germany. Paramund is the 25th great grandfather of Louis, husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine (1123-1204), the 14th great grandmother of Edward Southworth, the husband of Alice Carpenter, my 7th great grandmother. What is the significance of following this line? First of all, he is a ling through which descendants flow through the Westmoreland family into which our daughter, Tiffany Lenn Sharpe Westmoreland married when she married Steve O. Westmoreland. Tiffany's mother- in-law, Betty Katherine Covington Westmoreland, generously provided for me most of this genealogical information, and my appreciation of her is great for that. There are some interesting people in that line. Here are the interesting people in that line. This descendants’ line from Paramund of Germany contains 59 generations coming down to our contemporary family, down to our Westmoreland grandchildren. This line comes through our son-in-law’s connections. Notable names most people may recognize include Charles “The Hammer” Martel (686-741), Mayor of the Palace, ruling the Franks, and best remembered winning the Battle of Tours in 732, a battle that halted the Islamic expansion in Europe at that time. William the Conqueror is best known for leading the Normans from France across the English Channel to conquer England and to have himself crowned King of England in 1066.

Prof. Dr. David Thornton July 2019 This thesis succinctly investigates the chronological traces and the historical development of the cult of St. Katherine of Alexandria in Late Medieval Scotland. The main argument of this study evolves around why possibly the cult of St. Katherine has not been examined in the previous literature, although the Katherine-cult was predominantly recognized by the Scottish population. The thesis will trace the cult through gradual methodological and contextual steps, that are, hagiography, liturgy, dedications, and onomastics. The outcome will attest to the necessity of the re-evaluation and recognition that the Katherine-cult in Late Medieval Scotland was not any less significant than the cults of native saints of Scotland.
