  • Early and High Middle Ages
    Early and High Middle Ages Overview St Maurice’s Abbey, canton of Valais, founded in the 6th century and strategically positioned at a narrow section of the valley. © Marc-André Miserez/swissinfo The period which followed on from the Roman Empire and lasted from around 500 to 1000 AD is generally referred to as the Early Middle Ages. The area covered by present-day Switzerland underwent a similar development to that of the rest of Western Europe. The earliest centuries were marked by mass migration (Barbarian Invasions). Switzerland too saw the arrival of many different settlers, each bringing their own way of life and language. Christianity, which had already been introduced by the Romans, became widespread thanks partly to the work of missionaries. The Church, together with its dioceses and monasteries, became a major landowner and enjoyed all the attendant rights over the people who lived on and worked its lands. At the same time, noble families were expanding their power base through conquests, inheritance and marriage. For a brief period the King of the Franks, Charlemagne, controlled a large swathe of Western Europe. In 800 AD, he became the first medieval ruler to be crowned Emperor. Yet, the reign of Charlemagne did not establish any real idea of state. At each level of society, relations between the strong and weak were based on personal dependencies. The emperor ruled over a network of noble families, with kings, dukes and princes constantly jostling for greater power in a bid to preserve or add to the privileges they enjoyed. In 962, the German King Otto I was crowned emperor by the Pope in Rome.

In line with the rejection- identification hypothesis, people in the treated area which experienced a change in nation-status and were exposed to repressive homogenization policies express a stronger regional identity and support more regional autonomy today. On average, subjects with a stronger regional also express a stronger European identity, which we exploit in a regression discontinuity design at the municipal level to reveal whether these identity differences are causal. We find that support for the European Union is significantly stronger in two crucial referenda, a result that is robust across different specifications and bandwidths, and not driven by language differences, large agglomerations or distance to foreign countries.

  • Charlemagne: the First Holy Roman Emperor
    Charlemagne: The First Holy Roman Emperor - Papacy, Pope Leo III, Charlemagne, Cooperate Charlemagne: The First Holy Roman Emperor Papacy, Pope Leo III, Charlemagne, Cooperate Medieval Europe Unit This article is brought to you by the year 800 C.E. Great news! I am going to make you leader of your class. Everyone will have to do everything you say. There's just one catch. You have to listen to everything another kid wants you to do. If he does not like you, he's going to choose someone else. You get to rule . until he says you cannot. Sound fun? Kind of? This is kind of what it was like to rule in the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was much smaller than the original Roman Empire and only had land in Europe. At this time, the people listened to everything the leaders of the church said. This meant that the church got to choose who would lead the people. The Catholic Church held a lot of power in the Middle Ages. Most people at that time who lived in Europe were a part of the church. This meant that most of the people who lived here thought the head of the church was the most important person in the world. The Papacy is the office of the pope, who is the head of the church. This office had so much power, it played a part in deciding who would rule the people. It had not always worked this way. Before this, the ruler was chosen based on who his or her parents were.

  • St. George in Legend and Verse
    ____________________________________________________ St. George in Legend and Verse Jacob William LeMaster University of Florida Faculty mentor: Florin Curta, Department of History Abstract This paper investigates the emergence of the cultus of a medieval saint, St. George of Cappadocia, and correlates the production of legend with variations of the saint’s passio. It then considers the form of relics in relation to the narrative of their translationes. This is accomplished by examining the political context in which they were translated by Archbishop Hatto of Mainz and the Holy Roman Emperor. It concludes with an exploration of the variations on George’s cultus on the Reichenau monastic center and presents an updated English translation of the late ninth or tenth century Georgslied. Keywords: St. George, Reichenau, Hatto I, Georgslied, cult of the saints, relics The Emergence of the Cultus and its Liturgical Foundations In the earliest written accounts of the life and salvific death of St. George of Cappadocia, he was not yet known as a dragon-slayer nor, as he would be more immediately known, as a military hero. Franciscan friar and leading figure of the Bollandists Francis Delehaye described the legends and stories attributed to him as a “sort of Monte Testaccio” – that is, like a mound compiled from broken shards of ancient pottery (Walker, 2003, p. 111). According to Karl Krumbacher (1911), each one of the five variants of George’s passiones known (and probably produced) in the sixth century mention his soldiering, but the focus in these texts is on the physical suffering involved in his martyrdom. Large-scale veneration of the saint by localized clusters of the faithful emerged early, and the earliest evidence of the cultus can be found in in the Greek-speaking eastern edge of the Roman Empire, centered around his tomb in Lydda (Diospolis).

  • Lesson 8: the Holy Roman Empire (800-1806 CE)
    Lesson 8: The Holy Roman Empire (800-1806 CE) Have you ever wondered? Grandpa’s History Lessons that Matter The Holy Roman Empire (800-1806 CE) A Varying Complex of Lands and Leaders; the Holy Roman Empire, as Voltaire sardonically remarked, was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. INTRODUCTION: • The Holy Roman Empire was created by the coronation of the Frankish king Charlemagne as Roman emperor by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day in the year 800, thus restoring in their eyes the western Roman Empire that had been leaderless since 476 and preserving and protecting the Roman Catholic Church during the Middle Ages, ensuring that it had a unique identity separate from the Eastern Orthodox (i.e. the Eastern Roman Church). Charlemagne's Frankish successor emperors faltered under political and military challenges, and his inheritance was permanently divided in 887. After 924 the western empire was again without an emperor until the coronation of Otto I, duke of Saxony, on 2 February 962. This coronation was seen to transfer the Roman imperial office to the heirs of the East Franks, the Germans. In 1512 the name "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" became the official title of this feudal monarchy, which spanned central Europe between the kingdom of France to the west and the kingdoms of Hungary and Poland to the east. In the north it was bounded by the Baltic and North Seas and by the Danish kingdom; in the south, it reached to the Alps. The Holy Roman Empire was not a highly centralized state like most countries today.

  • Military Conflict and the Economic Rise of Urban Europe
    Military Conflict and the Economic Rise of Urban Europe∗ Mark Dincecco† Massimiliano Gaetano Onorato‡ December 5, 2013 Abstract We present new city-level evidence about the military origins of Europe’s economic “backbone,” the prosperous urban belt that runs from the Low Countries to northern Italy. Military conflict was a defining feature of pre-industrial Europe. The destructive effects of conflict were worse in the countryside, leading rural inhabitants to relocate behind urban fortifications. Conflict-related city population growth in turn had long- run economic consequences. Using GIS software, we construct a novel conflict exposure measure that computes city distances from nearly 300 major conflicts from 1000 to 1799. We find a significant, positive, and robust relationship between conflict exposure and historical city population growth. Next, we use luminosity data to construct a novel measure of current city-level economic activity. We show evidence that the economic legacy of historical conflict exposure endures to the present day.
