The Preface is therefore wholly left out in this edition, and an Analytic Index is prefixed; and the stereotypes have passed into the hands of the pre- sent publisher, who republishes it, confident that these im- portant passages of unquestionable history will benefit the Hungarian cause, by showing its necessity and justice, al- though it is impossible to benefit the Hungarian Fund by the proceeds of the work.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521819458 - Kingship and Politics in the Late Ninth Century: Charles the Fat and the End of the Carolingian Empire Simon Maclean Excerpt More information Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION the end of the carolingian empire in modern historiography The dregs of the Carlovingian race no longer exhibited any symptoms of virtue or power, and the ridiculous epithets of the Bald, the Stammerer, the Fat, and the Simple, distinguished the tame and uniform features of a crowd of kings alike deserving of oblivion. By the failure of the collateral branches, the whole inheritance devolved to Charles the Fat, the last emperor of his family: his insanity authorised the desertion of Germany, Italy, and France...Thegovernors,the bishops and the lords usurped the fragments of the falling empire.1 This was how, in the late eighteenth century, the great Enlightenment historianEdward Gibbonpassed verdict onthe endof the Carolingian empire almost exactly 900 years earlier. To twenty-first-century eyes, the terms of this assessment may seem jarring. Gibbon’s emphasis on the im- portance of virtue and his ideas about who or what was a deserving subject of historical study very much reflect the values of his age, the expectations of his audience and the intentions of his work.2 However, if the timbre of his analysis now feels dated, its constituent elements have nonetheless survived into modern historiography. The conventional narrative of the end of the empire in the year 888 is still a story about the emergence of recognisable medieval kingdoms which would become modern nations – France, Germany and Italy; about the personal inadequacies of late ninth- century kings as rulers; and about their powerlessness in the face of an increasingly independent, acquisitive and assertive aristocracy.

It began in October 2015 and will be UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI SIENA Origins of a new economic union concluded in October 2020. The University of Siena is the host institution of the project. th th The project is focussed upon two Tuscan riverine corridors leading from (7 -12 centuries) the Gulf of Follonica in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Colline Metallifere. It aims to document and analyze the form and timeframe of economic growth in this part of the Mediterranean, which took place between the Preliminary results of the nEU-Med project: 7th and the 12thc. Central to this is an understanding of the processes of change in human settlements, in the natural and farming landscapes October 2015-March 2017 in relation to the exploitation of resources, and in the implementation of differing political strategies. This volume brings together the research presented at the first nEU- Med workshop, held in Siena on 11-12 April, 2017. The aim of the edited by Bianchi, Richard Hodges workshop was to draw up an initial survey of research and related work on the project, one and a half years after its inception. The project is Giovanna Bianchi, Richard Hodges composed of several research units. Each unit covers an aspect of the interdisciplinary research underpinning the nEU-Med project, each with their own methodology. For this first volume of results, it was decided not to give an account of all the work carried out within all the units, edited by Giovanna but to select those lines of investigation which, at the end of the first year and a half, have made it possible to articulate and develop an interdisciplinary research strategy.

LTD~ SERBO-CROAT ORTHOGRAPHY. s = sh in "ship." c = ts in "cats." c = ch in " church." z = j in French "jour." c = ditto (softer). j = y in "your." A SKETCH OF SOUTHERN SLAV HISTORY SOUTHERN Slav, or Jugoslav,* history from the earliest times up to the present day, presents the record of a people who, though stubborn in resistance, are by no means aggressive, and who, notwithstanding the great and exceptional misfortunes that have befallen them, have succeeded in preserving their nation~! individuality, and in asserting themselves as a homogeneous nation full of youth and vitality. In virtue of their geographical position, which makes the Jugoslav lands the most direct link between the East and West-that is to say, between Western, Central, and Southern Europe on the one hand, and the Balkans, the Adriatic, and Asia Minor on the other-these territories have always been the arena of great political rivalries and fierce racial conflicts. Many powerful states, ambitious of conquest, and aspiring towards aggrandizement-Byzantium, Hungary, Turkey, and Venice-have for centuries in turn made countless efforts to break the Jugoslav resistance, which thwarted· their ambitions and desires. Despite apparent temporary success, these efforts have proved virtually fruitless, and have so far failed to bring about the desired result. It is * The Southern Slavs, or Jugoslavs (jug, in Slav, means the south), who include Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, are one and the same people, known under three different names. The territories inhabited by Jugoslavs are the following: the kingdoms of Serbia and Monte­ negro, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Dalmatia with the Dalmatian Archi­ pelago, Croatia and Slavonia with Rieka (Fiume) and Medjumurje, the Drave country in Southern Hungary (Baranja) with Ba~ka and the Banat, Istria with its islands and Trieste, the Slovene lands, i.e.

  • Matilda of Canossa Has for Some Time Been A
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Journal of Medieval History on 30 September 2015, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/03044181.2015.1089311 0 Reconsidering Donizone’s Vita Mathildis: Boniface of Canossa and Emperor Henry II Robert Houghton* Department of History, Medecroft Building, King Alfred Campus, Sparkford Road, Winchester, SO22 4NR, United Kingdom (Received 6 March 2014; final version received 5 November 2014) Boniface of Canossa is a figure of great importance to the political and military history of eleventh-century Italy. Modern historiography has almost universally argued that Boniface gained his power through a close relationship and alliance with a series of German emperors. Most accounts see Boniface’s fall and eventual murder in 1052 as a direct consequence of the breakdown of this relationship. This analysis is flawed, however, as it rests predominantly on the evidence of a single source: the Vita Mathildis by Donizone of Canossa. This document was produced more than half a century after the death of Boniface by an author who held complex political goals, but these have not been fully considered in the discussion of Boniface. Through the examination of the charter sources, this article argues that Donizone misrepresented Boniface’s actions and that there is considerable evidence that Boniface was not a consistent ally of the German emperors. Keywords: Italy; diplomatic; authority; power; relationship networks; Donizone of Canossa; Boniface of Canossa; Holy Roman Empire 1 Boniface of Canossa (c.985–1052) was one of the most influential figures in northern and central Italy in the early eleventh century, controlling extensive lands and rights in the counties of Mantua, Reggio, Modena, Parma, Bergamo, Brescia, Verona, Ferarra and Bologna, and in the duchy of Tuscany.1 Canossa itself dominated the important pass between Reggio and Tuscany.

    Elizabeth of Hungary For other Hungarian princesses named Elizabeth, see Elizabeth of Hungary (disambiguation). Elizabeth of Hungary, T.O.S.F.,(German: Heilige Elisabeth von Thüringen, Hungarian: Árpád-házi Szent Erzsébet, 7 July 1207 – 17 November 1231)[5] was a princess of the Kingdom of Hungary, Landgravine of Thuringia, Germany and a greatly venerated Catholic saint.[6] Elizabeth was married at the age of 14, and wid- owed at 20. After her husband’s death she sent her chil- dren away and regained her dowry, using the money to build a hospital where she herself served the sick.
