Ever since the death of Tsar Boris Godunov in 1605, Muscovy had been suffering from a dynastic crisis. It was divided by civil war and had been invaded by Sweden and the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1610, the elected Polish king, Sigismund III Vasa, caused uproar in Russia by installing his son Ladislaus on the Moscow throne. In 1612, the Russians succeeded in defeating the army of the Commonwealth. In the following year, they chose a new tsar, Mikhail Romanov, who established a new dynasty that was to rule the country for more than three centuries.

  • Medieval Bibliography
    American Numismatic Society, Summer Graduate Seminar MEDIEVAL NUMISMATIC REFERENCES Robert Wilson Hoge Literature covering the numismatics of the European Middle Ages is vast and disparate. Numerous useful bibliographical sources exist, but finding relevant citations can be challenging. The attached selections provide merely an introduction and partial overview to materials in several areas, along with some observations. They are by no means exhaustive. Frequently encountered acronyms are listed as they occur in alphabetical sequence in place of the authors’ names. Emphasis has been laid on the more general works rather than the extensive specialized literature in periodical sources. Early Medieval and General (BMC) Wroth, Warwick. 1911. Catalogue of the coins of the Vandals, Ostrogoths and Lombards, and of the empires of Thessalonica, Nicaea and Trebizond in the British Museum. London: the Trustees of the British Museum. Very important, a basic collection, although much new information has been learned during the past 100 years. Chautard, Jules Marie Augustin. 1871. Imitations des monnaies au type esterlin frappés en Europe pendant le XIIIe et le XIVe siècle. Nancy: Impression de l'Académie de Stanislas. This work is “ancient” but has not been superceded.

  • Non De Fide, Sed De Securitate Pacis.1 Faith and Politics in the Views of Protestants in the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1631‑32
    Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce PL ISSN 0029‑8514 Special Issue Urszula Augustyniak (Warsaw) Non de Fide, Sed de Securitate Pacis.1 Faith and Politics in the Views of Protestants in the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1631‑32 Traditionally, political views of Polish Protestants are investigated in the context of struggle for the so‑called religious tolerance, although at the time the Warsaw Confederation was regarded not as an ‘edict of tolera‑ tion’ but a guarantee of estate privileges and a principle of the political system of the Commonwealth. Mirosław Korolko’s analysis of political arguments used in the controversy over the Confederation2 – on a par with denominational, historiosophical, legal and socio‑economic argu‑ mentation – does not explain the relation between propaganda activity and actual attitudes of Protestants as citizens. Different from Catholic, the views of Polish and Lithuanian Protes‑ tants on the relationship between religion and politics – for instance, on the genesis of monarchical power and its obligations towards the state, the subordination of the clergy to general laws, the right of the subjects to resist edicts in conflict with the laws of God – were the result of doctrinal premises formulated in the twentieth chapter of John Calvin’s Institutio religionis christianae3 and in the Sandomierz 1 A.

  • Two Portraits of the Prince Ladislas-Sigismund Vasa from the Collections in Wawel Castle Re-Examined
    Rocznik Historii Sztuki, tom XXXVII PAN WDN, 2012 KATARZYNA KRZYŻAGÓRSKA-PISAREK INDEPENDENT ART HISTORIAN LONDON TWO PORTRAITS OF THE PRINCE LADISLAS-SIGISMUND VASA FROM THE COLLECTIONS IN WAWEL CASTLE RE-EXAMINED INTRODUCTION This article aims to re-evaluate the existing evidence concerning the attribution and provenance of the two portraits of the Polish Prince Ladislas-Sigismund (1595–1648), later King Ladislas IV, formerly ascribed to the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens, and now to his workshop and his school or circle respectively. Both pictures are at present in the Wawel Castle in Cracow, and are the two most important works associated with Rubens and his studio in Poland. As both paintings originally came from British collection, so they might benefit from being reviewed from this perspective. The first one is a half-length (to the knees) portrait on long-term loan from the Metropolitan Museum, New York1, described there as workshop of Peter Paul Rubens, Ladislas-Sigismund IV, King of Poland, c. 1624, oil on canvas, 49¼ ϋ 39¾ in. or 125.1 ϋ 101 cm, Inv. n. 29.100.13 (fig. 1). The second one is a full-length equestrian portrait by the school or circle of Rubens, Ladislas-Sigismund, Prince of Poland on horseback, after 1624, oil on canvas, 259 ϋ 185.5 cm, Wawel Castle, Cracow, State Collection of Art, Inv. n. 6320 (fig. 3). Later known as King Ladislas IV, the Polish Prince was the son of the King Sigismund III Vasa and his first wife Anne of Austria (1573–1598), also known as Anna Habsburg.

  • KING CNUT's LAST COINAGE? Robert L. Schichler on 12
    KING CNUT’S LAST COINAGE? Robert L. Schichler On 12 November 1035, Cnut the Great died, leaving uncertain in England the matter of the royal succession, for the king had not named a successor (O’Brien 159). Two of his sons, by different women, were preoccupied in Scandinavia: Swein, Cnut’s eldest son from his earlier union with Ælfgifu of Northampton, had recently been deposed as regent or king of Norway and had fled to seek the support of his half- brother Harthacnut, Cnut’s son by Queen Emma (also called Ælfgifu by the English), who was reigning in Denmark. These two sons, on good terms with each other, then apparently agreed to a geographical division of England, the southern section going to Harthacnut, the northern section to Swein. Because neither of them could leave Denmark at this time, the decision was made that Cnut’s middle son Harold Harefoot, full-brother to Swein and half-brother to Harthacnut, should oversee the affairs of England in their absence (Howard 51-52). This plan, however, met with the objection of Queen Emma, who, distrusting Harold and his mother, was watching out for the interests of her son Harthacnut, and did not wish to lose her own position of power. She had even anticipated such a dreaded development when agreeing to marry Cnut in 1017; mindful of the children of the other Ælfgifu and Cnut, Emma had made it a condition of her acceptance of the marriage that no other son but her own (by Cnut) should succeed to the throne: “But she refused ever to become the bride of Knútr, unless he would affirm to her by oath, that he would never set up the son of any wife other than herself to rule after him, if it happened that God should give her a son by him.

  • The Politics of Talk Rumour and Gossip in Stockholm During the Struggle for Succession (C.1592–1607) Piia Einonen
    © Scandia 2014 http://www.tidskriftenscandia.se The politics of talk Rumour and gossip in Stockholm during the struggle for succession (c.1592–1607) Piia Einonen Introduction In 1602, Stockholm’s City Court (rådstugurätt) had the city’s pillory moved to the central marketplace to the accompaniment of high-flown phrases: ‘May God let law and justice be within the city and the city walls and not without, then everything will be done right, for where sins are punished, there is God honoured and praised.’1 This demonstration of power and justice was intended to remind the Stockholmers of their role as loyal, obedient, and God-fearing subjects, and marked the end of a restless decade. This article concentrates on the turbulent years of 1592–1607, and argues that gossip was not only an important element in social interaction, but also a form of political involvement and resistance for those without formal power. The political situation in Sweden was in turmoil in the late sixteenth century. King Johan III died in 1592, and his son Sigismund ascended to the Swedish throne. Sigismund’s position was difficult, however, because through his mother, Katarina Jagellonica (Catherine Jagiellon), he had also inherited the Polish Crown in 1587, and he reigned in Poland until 1632. In Sweden he was crowned Sigismund III Vasa. His Catholicism created problems in Sweden, whose rulers had striven to consolidate the Lutheran faith. Sigismund’s main opponent in Sweden was his uncle, Duke Karl. As a son of Gustav I Vasa, Karl insisted that he was the lawful successor to his brother, Johan III.

Likewise, the German crusaders were ultimately unsuc- cessful in their state-building enterprise. In the fourteenth century they had become a lethal threat to the Lithuanian Grand Duchy and the Kingdom of Poland. 1. The simultaneous union formation The Polish-Lithuanian personal union under Władysław Jagiełło, which was forged in 1385/86 when Rex Poloniae, (i.e., she held the throne; as a female she would otherwise have been called Regina) the young Jadwiga, daughter of king Louis of Anjou of Hungary, who was also of Piast ancestry, mar- ried the Grand Duke of Lithuania, was directed against the Teutonic Order. The latter’s defeat at the hands of Władysław and his relative, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas, in 1410 was the beginning of its demise. In the northern part of the Baltic Region, parallel to developments on the Polish-German front, the Kalmar Union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in 1397 was established with the aim of contesting the commercial hegemony of the Hansa. Thus at the end of the fourteenth century, inter- national politics in the Baltic Region saw the emergence of a Central European empire in the southern part and a Scandinavian empire in the north.

Conditional rarities include 2 daler 1674 - the finest 17th Century Plate Money we have seen, as well as an outstanding uncirculated example of 1/2 daler 1710. The collection shows a wide range of early plates including many that have not been offered for public sale in decades. This offering presents a good opportunity for both the general and advanced collectors. We are also very excited to offer a rare Åbo klippe 8 öre 1557 that we believe is the first time offered in auction since the Ekström collection was sold in the 1970's. Ancient and World coins are well represented with a significant section of Norway, an unusually large group of Ancient aurei and silver coins. There are many group lots and collections that warrant close inspections. We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm, or participation by other means.
