  • Götz Von Berlichingen
    GÖTZ VON BERLICHINGEN: SOLDIER, ENTREPRENEUR, RACONTEUR by Bradley M. Fansher A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Thesis Committee: Dr. Suzanne Sutherland, Chair Dr. Molly Taylor-Poleskey Middle Tennessee State University August 2020 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the life and times of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a German nobleman known for his iron fist and his legendary feuds. It argues that three identities defined Götz: a soldier, an entrepreneur, and a raconteur. The different layers of Götz’s identity emerged in response to the challenges in his life that sprang from the changes of the sixteenth century. These changes included the growth of the state, the decline of the nobility, the divisiveness of the Reformation, and the advent of a world view based on measurement. Despite some costly missteps, Götz responded well to new circumstances, so that by the end of his life he was more prosperous than many of his noble peers. Through a close reading of Götz’s autobiography, a social network analysis, and a comparative spatial study, the thesis elucidates the means of and the mentality behind Götz’s success. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION............................................................................................................. 1 Historiography ................................................................................................................. 5 Sources, Methods, Structure ........................................................................................

    0311. MOZART TO HIS MOTHER , SALZBURG À Madame / Madame Marie Anne / Mozart / à / Salzbourg / Franco 1 Munich, 14 th January 1775 Praise God! My opera 2 went in scena 3 yesterday, being the 13 th , [5] and was done so well that I cannot possibly describe to Mama the uproar. First of all, the whole theatre was so bursting full that many people had to go away again. After every aria there was always a terrible din with clapping, and cries of viva maestro . Her Serene Highness the Electress, 4 and the dowager 5 |: who were facing me :| also called out bravo to me. [10] At the end of the opera , during the time when one is quiet until the ballet begins, there was nothing but clapping and cries of bravo , now ceasing, now beginning again, and so on. Afterwards I went with my Papa into a certain room which the Elector 6 and the whole court have to pass through and I kissed the hands of Their Serene Highnesses 7 the Elector and Electress and Their Highnesses, 8 [15] who were all very gracious. Early this morning, His Princely Grace the Bishop of Chiemsee 9 sent a message here with congratulations that the opera has, in everyone’s opinion, turned out so completely beyond compare. As for the journey back, that will not happen so soon, nor should Mama wish it, for Mama knows, of course, how good it is to catch one’s breath again – – – –we shall be back – – soon enough. [20] A proper and essential reason is because the opera will be put on again 10 on the coming Friday, 11 and I am very necessary for the performance – – otherwise one would not recognise it again – – – – for it is most curious here.

A towering model festooned with marvellous detail (and something of a long-held dream come true for designer Jes Goodwin and his band of trusty sculptors), the Imperial Knight also offers a fascinating peek into a largely unexplored area of Warhammer 40,000 lore. You can see the kit in all its breathtaking glory in this issue, while Jes Goodwin and Jervis Johnson discuss the genesis and provenance of the Imperial Knights. We’ve also got painting guides for two knightly houses, and the rules for these mighty machines of destruction. Stay tuned to White Dwarf in following weeks too, as we’ll be bringing you much more coverage of the Imperial Knights. It’s a great time to be a hobbyist and we’ll be making the most of it.

  • Glossary of German Terms and Abbreviations
    Gotfrid von Schwaben Glossary of German Terms and Abbreviations Titles, Terms, Locations, and Various Abbreviations Encountered in German Onomastic Texts and Armorials DIAZJ 19 MAR 10 FORWARD As time progresses our base level of knowledge concerning medieval and renaissance naming practices increases. Likewise, our pool of onomastic resources becomes more refined. When reading texts written in English, finding the documentation and understanding what the author is saying is quite simple for fluent English speakers. Frequently, however, the best resource for a certain culture’s naming practice is in a language other than English. For those who are attempting to read resources in another language and have little to no knowledge of that language, it becomes a bit more problematic. While I am a fairly fluent, semi-native speaker of German, my level of constant exposure and usage of German leveled off during my teen years. As a joke, albeit true, I will often say to people who ask me where I learned my German that I learned it sitting in the lap of my mother and grandmother. And even though I do have opportunities to brush the dust off my language skills, they are not as frequent as I would like. Additionally, the dialect of German with which I grew up is not the same as that used in scholarly works. Because of this, while doing German onomastic research I have come across a number of common terms and abbreviations, not all of which have been familiar to me. As a result, I created a list of titles, abbreviations, terms, etc., which I encountered in various German texts.

  • The Dynastic Marriage by Heinz Duchhardt
    The Dynastic Marriage by Heinz Duchhardt The often-quoted "family of princes" was at no time a truly pan-European network, but represented rather a collection of various marriage circles defined first by – among others – geography, and following the Reformation, confession. Dy- nastic marital alliances were agents of at least restricted cultural transfer which made itself felt first and foremost at the courts but also influenced the rest of the country. Dynastic marriages often were an important part of foreign policy, bringing new options, changes in position or international stability. The house of Saxe-Coburg will be presented as an example of inter-dynastic networks (inner-dynastic networks can be found in the marriages between the various dynas- tic lines of the House of Habsburg) which planted its offspring on a surprising number of European thrones after 1800. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Factors of Marriage Strategy 3. Dynastic Marriage and Cultural Transfer 4. Marriage and the Jus Publicum Europaeum 5. The Dynastic Wedding as a Media Event 6. The High-Point of the Dynastic Marital System 7. Summary and Outlook 8. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Bibliography 3. Notes Citation Introduction Today, nearly a century after the democratizing revolutions of 1918/1919 put an end to a large number of European monarchies (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Portugal) and deterred others from adopting a monarchical system (e.g. Finland), noble marriages still retain a large degree of popular fascination. The pictures and film footage docu- menting family gatherings amongst the European nobility, whether on the occasion of a christening, wedding or funeral, still enjoy considerable popular interest.
