  • Clothing, Memory and Identity in 16Th Century Swedish Funerary Practice
    Joseph M. Gonzalez 6 Fashioning Death: Clothing, Memory and Identity in 16th Century Swedish Funerary Practice Introduction King Gustav Vasa was married three times. In 1531, less than a decade after his election as King of Sweden, he made a match calculated to boost his prestige and help consolidate his position as king and married Katarina von Sax-Lauenburg, the daughter of Duke Magnus and a relative of the emperor. She bore the king one son, Erik, and died suddenly in 1535 (Svalenius, 1992). After her death, the king married the daughter of one of the most powerful noble houses in Sweden, Margareta Eriksdotter Leijonhufvud in 1536. Queen Margareta bore the king eight children before she died in 1551. By August of 1552, the fifty-six year old Gustav Vasa had found a new queen, the 16-year-old Katarina Gustavsdotter Stenbock, daughter of another of Sweden’s leading noble houses. Despite the youth of his bride, the marriage bore no children and the old king died eight years later (Svalenius, 1992). The king’s death occasioned a funeral of unprecedented magnificence that was unique both in its scale and in its promotion of the Vasa dynasty’s image and interests. Unique to Vasa’s funeral was the literal incorporation of the bodies of his two deceased wives in the ceremony. They shared his bed-like hearse on the long road to Uppsala and the single copper casket that was interred in the cathedral crypt. Six months after the funeral, Gustav Vasa’s son with Katarina von Sax-Lauenburg, Erik, was crowned king.

  • St Felim Kilmore Diocese, Circa 560 9Th August
    St Felim Kilmore diocese, circa 560 9th August The Gathering of God's People The Greeting The Lord be with you. And also with you. Sentence You are my strength, Lord, I will love you; Under the shadow of your wings protect me The Prayers of Moucan, Welsh, eighth century. Introduction Felim (spelt Fedilimth in Adomnán's life of Columba) was the father of Columba (Columcille), according to tradition. The abbey on Trinity Island in Lough Oughter, not far from the diocesan cathedral, recalls the early days of Christianity in Cavan and the neighbourhood. A later Norman doorway from the island is now incorporated in the present cathedral. William Bedell, the much honoured 17th century bishop of Kilmore, is remembered for his saintly life and his work of translating the scriptures into the Irish language. Opening Prayer Let us pray to God the Father, God the Son, and to God the Holy Spirit whose infinite greatness enfolds the whole world, in persons three and one, in essence simple and triune, suspending the earth above the waters, hanging the upper air with stars, that he may be favourable to sinners who righteously justifies all who err, who ever-living lives. May God be blessed for ages. Amen. Moucan, Welsh, eighth century. Penitence O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who trust in him. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. The Lord ransoms the lives of his servants and none who trust in him will be destroyed. Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Come my children, listen to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
