Elle a été rédigée en latin par un moine de l'abbaye de Saint- Maixent, autour de 1140, dernière date citée par le document qui compile différents textes sur l'histoire du monde, depuis ses origines jusqu'à Charlemagne, puis s'étend sur les événements de la vie politique et religieuse du Poitou et des régions voisines, du Xe siècle à 1140. Elle mentionne à plusieurs reprises les premiers seigneurs de Lusignan dont elle fournit une généalogie. Le Conventum est un manuscrit latin de 342 lignes, composé en Aquitaine à la fin de la première moitié du XIe siècle et conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale2. Il relate les nombreux conflits qui ont opposé le comte Guillaume de Poitiers, c'est-à-dire le duc d'Aquitaine Guillaume V le Grand, à son vassal Hugues, seigneur de Lusignan. Ce document est fondamental pour la connaissance et la compréhension des relations féodales dans le Poitou du XIe siècle et très peu d'ouvrages sur l'an mil et la féodalité font l'économie de son commentaire3. 1 La Chronique de Saint-Maixent (751-1140), éd. et trad.

Settimane di Studio del centro italiano di Studi - 3 - L'Historia pontificum et comitum Engolimensium est un texte anonyme écrit autour de 1160 qui rapporte les guerres livrées par les comtes d'Angoulême, présentés très favorablement, vainqueurs de tous leurs adversaires, n'attaquant que lorsqu'ils sont dans leur bon droit, contraints de se défendre face à des attaques injustes4. L'auteur met ainsi en scène les comtes Taillefer pour mieux expliciter et justifier leur rôle dans le comté face aux seigneurs révoltés de Cognac, Villebois, Barbezieux, Blaye et aux seigneurs de Lusignan5. Geoffroy de Breuil a d'abord été moine à Saint-Martial de Limoges avant de devenir, de 1170 à 1184, prieur de Vigeois. Sur une requête d'une branche cadette des Lastours, cherchant à hériter de la seigneurie, il compose sa Chronique afin de vanter les mérites de leur lignage et de défendre leurs intérêts contre leurs éventuels concurrents familiaux6. Particulièrement attentif à l'espace limousin, il décrit avec beaucoup de précision les événements qui s'y déroulent. Il connaît très bien le milieu nobiliaire d'où il vient et les rapports de vassalité entre les différents acteurs de la vie politique limousine7. Bernard Itier est né en 1163. Il entre en 1177 au monastère de Saint-Martial de Limoges et accède à la prêtrise en 1189. De 1204 à sa mort en 1225, il assure la charge de bibliothécaire du monastère. Il travaille à partir des ouvrages dont il a la garde, notamment la Chronique d'Adhémar de Chabannes, la Commemoratio abbatum Sancti Marcialis et la Chronique de Geoffroy de Vigeois. Il rédige sa Chronique sur les pages d'un antiphonaire, pour rendre utile un livre obsolète. Jean- Loup Lemaître signale que la plupart des événements contemporains de l'écrivain ont été rajoutés en plusieurs couches rédactionnelles, vers 1210 puis vers 1217-1218. Il se contente d'accumuler des faits qui se rattachent à sa vie quotidienne sans autres éléments de continuité qu'une chronologie qui n'est pas toujours exacte8. sull'Alto Medioevo, n°47, Spolète, Presso la Sede del Centro, 2000 ; « Fiefs et vassaux dans la France de l'an mil », Feudalism, new landscapes of debate, éd.

J.-L. LEMAÎTRE, Paris, Les Belles Lettres, « Classiques de l'histoire au Moyen Âge », 1998. - 4 - SOURCES CONCERNANT LES CROISADES La participation de Hugues VI de Lusignan à la première croisade est rapportée par quatre sources principales : les Gesta Francorum et aliorum hierosolimitanorum, anonymes, ont été rédigées par un témoin oculaire dont l'identité fait encore débat, un chevalier normand ou un clerc d'Italie du sud, qui a composé son récit à la demande de Bohémond de Tarente 9. Pierre Tudebode a lui aussi été membre de l'expédition et avait été identifié en 1641 par Jean Besly comme le curé de Civray. Rédigée entre 1102 et 1111, son Historia de Hierosolymitano itinere présente de nombreux points communs avec les Gesta Francorum, tout en étant plus précis et moins partial sur de nombreux points10. John et Laurita Hill pensaient que leurs similitudes provenaient d'une dépendance commune à l'égard d'un texte perdu, mais cette hypothèse a été contestée et il semble avéré que Tudebode s'est inspiré des Gesta pour compléter ses souvenirs11.

Regions of Charente excluded from the Province were, in the North, those of Confolentais, Champagne Mouton, and Villelagnon; in the Southwest, that part of the arrondissement of Cognac, South of the Né. But included in the Province were Deux Sèvres, a small pays near Sauzé- Vaussais and in Haute Vienne, an irregular intrusion comprising Oradour, Saint Mathieu, and Saint Victurnien. The Capital of Angoumois was Angoulême [Charente]. At first part of Saintonge, Angoumois became an independent City late in the Roman era. During the Carolingians Period, the pays constituted a County, as it was also probably under the Mérovingiens. In 770, there was a Comte named Vulgrin; in 839, the Comte was Turpion. The latter was killed by Normans in 863.

    Notes and Documents

    286 SOGEB OF WENDOVEB April Notes and Documents. Roger of Wendover and the Coggeshall Chronicle. Downloaded from KALFH, abbot of Coggeshall from 1207 until his resignation in* 1218, is said' to have begun his share of the monastic chronicle •with the account of the capture of the Holy Cross (1187). He took a special interest in the stories which came from the Holy Land, and his narrative is very valuable. It tells us what http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ Englishmen at home knew of the third crusade. The captivity of Eichard gave Ralph a fresh opportunity, for Anselm, the royal chaplain, brought the report of an eye-witness, which was inserted in the new chronicle. The personal history of the king is the central theme during these years. A period which finds a unity and completeness outside England, in which other English and even European events are of secondary importance, closes with by guest on August 11, 2015 Richard's return from captivity and Count John's submission in 1194. Now it is significant that just here, after a supplementary account of the Saracens in Spain, the ink and style of writing change in the original manuscript. Down to this point, with the exception of a few corrections and additions the manuscript and all its various alterations are the work of the same scribe. The entries under the year 1195 are in another hand.1 It would be quite in accord with monastic usage if copies of this earlier portion were sent elsewhere. Such was the case, for example, with Robert of Torigny's chronicle.
  • Crusades, Martyrdoms, and the Jews of Norman England, 1096-1190

    Crusades, Martyrdoms, and the Jews of Norman England, 1096-1190

    Crusades, Martyrdoms, and the Jews of Norman England, 1096-1190 BY ROBERT C. STACEY A connection between crusading and anti-Jewish violence was forged in 1096, first in northern France, and then, most memorably, in the cataclysmic events of the Rhineland. Thereafter, attacks on Jews and Jewish communities became a regulär feature of the cru­ sading movement, despite the efforts of ecclesiastical and secular authorities to prevent them. The Second Crusade saw renewed assaults in the Rhineland and northern France. In the Third Crusade, assaults in the Rhineland recurred, but the worst violence this time oc­ curred in England, where something on the order of 10% of the entire Jewish Community in England perished in the massacres of 1189­1190. After the 1190s, however, direct mob violence by crusaders against Jews lessened. Although Crusades would continue to pro­ voke anti­Jewish hostility, no further armed assaults on Jewish communities, on the scale of those that took place between 1096 and 1190, would accompany the thirteenth Century 1 Crusades ^. The connection we are attempting to explain, between crusading and armed at­ tacks on Jewish communities, is thus distinctly a phenomenon of the twelfth Century ­ provided, of course, that we may begin our twelfth Century in 1096. Attempts to analyze this connection between crusading and anti­Jewish assaults have generally focused on the First Crusade. This is understandable, and by no means misguid­ ed. Thanks to the work of Jonathan Riley­Smith, Robert Chazan, Jeremy Cohen, Yisrael Yuval, Ivan Marcus, Kenneth Stow and others, we now understand far more about the background, nature, and causes of the events of 1096 than we did a generation ago.

L’Aquitaine, terrain de leurs affrontements et objet de leur rivalité, était évidemment le point de cristallisation de cette histoire commune. Après la lecture de l’ouvrage de Jean-Pierre Trabut-Cussac, j’ai pu envisager de nouvelles perspectives, tant géographiques que chronologiques Une rencontre avec Nicolas Fauchère m’a permis de me déterminer pour l’étude du Poitou et des Pays de l’Ouest. Ma réfl exion n’était pas encore aboutie. C’est lors de mon entretien avec Jean-Philippe Genêt que les perspectives offertes par ce sujet me sont apparues. Son intérêt pour ce thème d’étude, intégré dans une phase de recherche plus générale portant sur le thème du « recouvrement », de la « recovery », et plus généralement tourné vers la gestion anglaise de ces régions continentales, m’a permis d’explorer de nouvelles pistes de recherche. C’est grâce à son soutien que j’ai pu, avec un plaisir réel, étudier en profondeur les archives anglaises, dans toute leur richesse et toute leur diversité. Il m’a guidée dans mes recherches, dans mes lectures, et m’a aidée à conceptualiser des raisonnements et à élaborer des réfl exions.

  • Two Treaties of Messina 1190–1191: Crusading Diplomacy of Richard I

    Two Treaties of Messina 1190–1191: Crusading Diplomacy of Richard I

    Two Treaties of Messina 1190–1191: Crusading Diplomacy of Richard I Jan Malý On 4 July 1187, the Christian army was dispersed by the Saracens in the battle of Hat- tin, which was then followed by the capture of Jerusalem, the Holy City in October of that year. This momentous event made a pretext for a new crusade. Among those who took the Cross and promised to regain Jerusalem was King Henry II of England, his son and heir presumptive Richard of Poitou and King Philip II of France. Rich- ard was the first of them to take the Cross since he had done it in November 1187.1 His father together with the king of France did the same during a meeting in Gisors on 21 January 1188.2 When Henry II died on 6 July 1189, he was succeeded by his son Richard, count of Poitou. After being invested as duke of Normandy in August 1189 and then crowned king of England in September of the same year, Richard began to prepare for the departure to the East to accomplish his vow. First, he had to settle his affairs both in England and in his continental realm; establish a firm and reliable government for the period of his absence.3 One of the chief men in Richard’s administration, both prior to his departure and after, was William Longchamp, bishop of Ely, Richard’s chancellor and chief justiciar, also appointed papal legate.4 He would also play an important part in establishing Richard’s will concerning one of Messina treaties.

    Chroniclers' Criticisms in the Reign of King Richard I of England

    Chroniclers’ Criticisms in the reign of King Richard I of England (1189-1199) by Richard Griffin A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Richard Griffin, April 2019 ABSTRACT CHRONICLERS’ CRITICISMS IN THE REIGN OF KING RICHARD I OF ENGLAND (1189-1199) Richard Griffin Advisor: University of Guelph, 2019 Dr. Susannah Ferreira The twelfth century chronicles provide a major narrative historical source for the study of King Richard I. The chronicles under study here are Roger of Howden Chronica, William of Newburgh Historia Rerum Anglicarum, Ralph de Diceto Ymagines Historiarum and Richard of Devizes Chronicon De Rebus Gestis Ricardi Primi. These chroniclers were politically astute and their personal perceptions shaped the content and nuance of their histories. They employed historical allusion in order to comment and criticize aspects of Richard I’s reign through analysis of his father Henry II. The authority of chancellor made Thomas Becket and William Longchamp natural choices for comparison, and through them, an assessment of the stability of each king’s reign. The chroniclers equated the Sons’ Rebellion that plagued Henry II in the 1170s with John I’s erratic behaviour and betrayal of Richard I in the 1190s. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS « I am most grateful to Dr. Susannah Ferreira for her guidance, encouragement, and for the development of this project. My deepest gratitude to Dr. Susan Nance, Michael Boterman, and Audra Bolton for facilitating this thesis. I would like to thank my committee Drs. Peter Goddard and Bill Cormack for their assistance and helpful comments.

JOHN KNOX, The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, 1558 I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.
