To mark the publication of volume thirty of the Institute’s house journal, the editorial committee felt that it was time both to modernize its appearance and to revise some of the tradi- tional content. Visitors are making increasing use of electronic means to access information about the events arranged by the Institute. In response, we have set up an electronic newsletter that allows us to keep sub- scribers up to date about the Institute’s programme easily and cheap- ly. Announcements in the GHIL Bulletin, by contrast, were often out of date by the time they reached readers. In future, therefore, we will not be publishing Seminar and Lecture programmes in the Bulletin, and encourage all those who are interested in the events arranged by the Institute to register for our newsletter, via our website, at <http://www.ghil.ac.uk/ghil_newsletter.html>. Seminar programmes are also still posted out. The tried and tested, however, will be retained. The GHIL Bulletin will therefore continue to publish important articles and, above all, book reviews and research reports. It also seemed sensible to keep the section on conference reports. The editors of the GHIL Bulletin hope that readers will like the new look, and that the contents will continue to provide interesting reading. Andreas Gestrich 3 IN MEMORY OF TIMOTHY REUTER John Gillingham’s article is dedicated to the memory of Timothy Reuter (1947–2002), whose extensive library, given to the GHIL by Tim Reuter’s widow, Georgina, in 2003, is certainly one of the most extensive single donations the Institute’s Library has so far received. Using his books, we are reminded of a scholar who like few before or since has managed to serve two scholarly communities, that of England and that of Germany, with equal dedication and enthusi- asm; he is now sadly missed by both. Timothy Reuter’s achievements as a historian are almost too many to count. A member of the prestigious Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich for twelve years, he had an unrivalled knowledge of German medieval history and of the endeavours and achieve ments of Germany’s thriving scholarly community, which he never tired of translating into English and discussing abroad. All the while he pub- lished widely and profusely on all aspects of medieval life, politics, and thought, achieving defining breakthroughs in the fields of medieval politics, symbolic communication, and comparative European historiography. His five-volume concordance to the Decretum Gratianum, which he co-authored with Gabriel Silagi, is still unrivalled, as is his seminal textbook, Germany in the Middle Ages, published in 1991. He was the editor of the series Oxford Medieval Texts and, more recently, had taken upon himself the monumental task of supervising the publication of volume three of the new Cambridge Medieval History. The son of a German-born father and an English mother, Timothy Reuter was a mediator and communicator between German and British scholars, a role that he fulfilled even after he left Munich to take up academic positions first in Exeter and then in Southampton. Thanks to him, the GHIL now possesses an excellent reference library on medieval European history that can be, and is, consulted by German and English scholars and students alike as, one may assume, he would have wished. Jochen Schenk (GHIL) 4 ARTICLE THE KIDNAPPED KING: RICHARD I IN GERMANY, 1192–1194 John Gillingham In 1193 the rulers of Germany and England met for the first time in history. Their meeting offers an appropriate subject for a talk in memory of Tim Reuter, whose death in 2002 cut sadly short the life and career of the scholar who, choosing to work in both England and Germany, did more than any other twentieth-century English medieval historian to bridge the divides between Anglophone and German scholarship.1 Or does it? After all, that first meeting was hardly a propitious one. The king of England, Richard I, returning from crusade, had been seized by the duke of Austria near Vienna in December 1192 and then handed over to Emperor Henry VI.2 A con- temporary illustration of the meeting shows Richard lying on the ground, kissing the emperor’s feet in a ceremony of submission.3 Whether or not he had to endure quite so humiliating a ceremony, there is no doubt that he was subsequently kept a prisoner in Germany for more than a year. Not until February 1194, when he did This article is based on a lecture given at the GHIL on 15 Feb. 2007 in mem- ory of Tim Reuter. 1 See the editor’s introduction to Timothy Reuter, Medieval Polities and Modern Mentalities, ed. Janet L. Nelson (Cambridge, 2006), pp. xiii–xix. 2 Stephen Langton, later archbishop of Canterbury, but at the time teaching in Paris, thought that Richard was being punished for the sins of his father: ‘Ita his diebus quod in quodam magno rege captivato peccata patris eius vin- dicentur.’ Cited in Philippe Buc, L’ambiguité du livre: prince, pouvoir, et peuple dans les commentaires de la Bible au Moyen Age (Paris, 1994), 62. 3 Reproduced in Theo Kölzer and Marlis Stähli, Petrus de Ebulo, Liber ad hon- orem Augusti sive de rebus Siculis. Codex 120 II der Burgerbibliothek Bern: Eine Bilderchronik der Stauferzeit (Sigmaringen, 1994), 171. 5 Article homage to Henry and a king’s ransom had been paid, was he released.4 The German chronicler, Otto of St Blasien, wrote: ‘I prefer not to give the exact weight [of gold and silver] that he paid because if I did, it would be thought incredible and I would be accused of lying’.5 Hardly surprising that it would be almost 150 years before another king of England, Edward III in 1338, visited Germany. On the other hand, the subject of Richard I in Germany is one which can readily be related to two of Tim’s own principal fields of interest: in the first place, political structures and the conventions which shaped political action, the rules of the game (in Gerd Althoff’s phrase, ‘die Spielregeln der Politik im Mittelalter’); in the second place, Tim’s hope that we English might become more German. Rather than repeat what he called ‘one of the standard tropes of Eng - lish medi evalists: narrative sources unreliable, back to the archives’, we should stop treating ‘literary texts as low-grade archives which can be mined for “facts” ’, and instead follow our Continental colleagues in paying more attention to what such sources can tell us about the atti- tudes and political values of the time.6 In this case, by paying close attention to what contemporary and near-contemporary narrative sources, chiefly German and English but also Italian and French, have to say about Richard’s captivity—and to what they do not say—we may be able to answer some fairly precisely formulated questions about the rules of the game. Did Duke Leopold VI of Austria and Henry VI play within the rules? What was the place of notions of hon- our within those rules? Whose rules were they anyway? As Tim himself pointed out in his inaugural lecture when appointed to the chair of medieval history at Southampton Uni ver - sity, the events of the 1190s used to loom large in traditional German 4 ‘Richard’s imprisonment had much in common with the modern kidnap- ping of wealthy businessmen to raise money.’ Jean Dunbabin, Captivity and Imprisonment in Medieval Europe 1000–1300 (Basingstoke, 2002), 5. 5 Franz-Josef Schmale (ed.), Die Chronik Ottos von St. Blasien und die Marbacher Annalen (Darmstadt, 1998), 112. 6 Timothy Reuter, ‘The Making of England and Germany, 850–1050: Points of Comparison and Difference’, in Alfred P.

    chapter 7 Men, Monsters and the History of Mankind in Vattel’s Law of Nations Pärtel Piirimäe 1 Introduction Emer de Vattel has been widely considered a seminal figure in the European tradition of the law of nations. While attaching himself to the earlier tradition of natural jurisprudence, he offered a normative system of the law of nations that was more firmly and explicitly anchored to the political practice of his contemporary Europe than were the doctrines of his predecessors. Vattel pro- moted the practical applicability of his Droit des gens (1758), stressing that it was not so much written for interested ‘private individuals’, i.e. other scholars or the general public, but it was a ‘law of sovereigns’ that was primarily in- tended for ‘them and their ministers’. It would not help much, he explained, if his maxims were studied only by those who had no influence over public affairs; the ‘conductors of states’, on the other hand, if they chose to learn this science and adopt its maxims as the ‘compass’ for their policies, could produce many ‘happy results’.1 Vattel emphasized the easy comprehension and applica- bility of his book, contrasting his approach with that of Christian Wolff, whose treatise on the law of nations could be understood only if one ‘previously stud- ied sixteen or seventeen quarto volumes which precede it’.2 As Vattel famous- ly declared, his original intention was to introduce Wolff’s system to a wider readership, by rendering his rigid and formal work more ‘agreeable and better calculated to ensure it a reception in the polite world’.3 While it is clear that Vattel’s work amounted to much more than a system- atic account of Wolff’s principles,4 it is in the manner of presentation that the differences between the two scholars are the most striking.

Traill WALTER OF CHATILLON'S PROSIMETRON IN DOMINO CONFIDO (W.3): WHERE AND WHEN WAS IT PERFORMED?* INTRODUCTION Waiter of Chätillon was one of the most gifted Latin poets of the Middle Ages. His epic poem Alexandreis is his best-known work but he is almost equally well known as the author of some of the best satirical verse in Medieval Latin. Despite his fame, however, little is known about his life. We have to depend for the most part on a number of brief biographical sketches or vitae, whose unreliability is signaled by the mutually contradictory information they provide'. A brief synopsis based on that ev- idence follows. Waiter was born in or near Lilie and received an excellent education at Orleans (or Reims) and Paris. He seems to have taught at Laon and later at Chäril- lon-sur-Marne, not far from Reims. He went to Bologna to study law and in 1176, when William of the White Hands, brother-in-law of Louis VII, was appointed arch- bishop of Reims, WaIter was drawn into his literary circle and it was to William that Waiter dedicated his Alexandreis. He was made a canon of Amiens (or Beauvais or Or- leans) and he mayor may not have died of leprosy.

  • German Strategy and the Path to Verdun: Erich Von Falkenhayn and the Development of Attrition, 1870-1916 Robert T
    Cambridge University Press 0521841933 - German Strategy and the Path to Verdun: Erich von Falkenhayn and the Development of Attrition, 1870-1916 Robert T. Foley Frontmatter More information German Strategy and the Path to Verdun Almost ninety years since its conclusion, the battle of Verdun is still little understood. German Strategy and the Path to Verdun is the first detailed English-language examination of this seminal battle to be based on research conducted in archives long thought lost. Material returned to Germany from the former Soviet Union has allowed for a reinter- pretation of Erich von Falkenhayn’s overall strategy for the war and of the development of German operational and tactical concepts to fit this new strategy of attrition. By taking a long view of the development of German military ideas from the end of the Franco-German War in 1871, German Strategy and the Path to Verdun also gives much-needed context to Falkenhayn’s ideas and the course of one of the greatest battles of attrition the world has ever known.

  • This Is Canterbury Cathedral. in Today's Lesson You Are Going To
    This is Canterbury Cathedral. In today’s lesson you are going to learn about something very SHOCKING that took place here in the Medieval Period. On 29 December 1170, a very important man called Thomas Becket was murdered in this very holy place. A monk called Edward Grim watched the murder. “One of the knights raised his sword and wounded Becket in the head. That same blow almost cut off my arm as I held the archbishop. Then Becket received a second blow, but still he managed to stand. At the third blow he fell. He said, “For the name of Jesus and the protection of his Church I am prepared to die”. Then the third knight struck Becket so hard that his sword broke. The top was cut off the archbishop’s head so that blood stained the cathedral floor. Another man put his foot on Becket’s neck and scattered his brains all over the floor. He called out: “Let us away, knights. He will trouble us no more”. I am Henry II. I am Thomas I had an Becket. argument Unfortunately with my for me, King friend, Henry II’s Thomas knights Becket, who thought that was the the King Archbishop wanted to get of rid of me.
