Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks for the help of so many different people, without which there would simply have been no thesis. The funding of the AHRC (formerly AHRB) and the support of the School of History at the University of Leeds made this research possible in the first place. I am grateful too for the general support, and advice on reading and sources, provided by Dr. A. J. Metcalfe, Dr. P. Skinner, Professor E. Van Houts, and Donald Matthew. Thanks also to Professor J-M. Martin, of the Ecole Francoise de Rome, for his continual eagerness to offer guidance and to discuss the subject. A particularly large thanks to Mr. I. S. Moxon, of the School of History at the University of Leeds, for innumerable afternoons spent pouring over troublesome Latin, for reading drafts, and for just chatting! Last but not least, I am hugely indebted to the support, understanding and endless efforts of my supervisor Professor G. A. Loud. His knowledge and energy for the subject has been infectious, and his generosity in offering me numerous personal translations of key narrative and documentary sources (many of which are used within) allowed this research to take shape and will never be forgotten. My family and friends have been so important throughout these three years. They have all offered, in their own unique ways (!), enormous encouragement, time, laughter, drinks, and other welcome distractions that have maintained my sanity. Finally and above all, I would like to dedicate this work to my wife. I have been so lucky to write this thesis with her arms around me every step of the way. Having spent three years searching for the right words to say the right things in my work, now I can not find even one suitable enough to describe how much her love, belief and support has meant to me. I will be forever touched by you and grateful for everything. Abstract This study offers a broad exploration of urban society in twelfth-century mainland Southern Italy. It does so primarily through a comparative and in depth analysis of around eight cities of varying size, function and tradition, supported by relevant material from a handful of other urban centres. The findings are based on detailed investigation of the vast charter material combined with a wide range of other important narrative and literary sources. The aim of the study is essentially divided into two main themes. Firstly, to investigate the development of urban government throughout this critical period for the South, above all by ascertaining what role the local community played in its own government and to uncover any continuities and discontinuities. Secondly, to look below the level of political organization and explore the social ordering and economic activities of the urban community and the interaction which took place between its varied constituent groups. Also within this sphere, the aim is to analyze contact between the urban community and the Church and to trace the development of civic identity. It will be argued that, although Southern Italy was subject to a number of regime changes, civil wars and rebellions during the twelfth-century, a notable range of continuities can be traced within the cities both at a political, social and economic level throughout the period. Such a finding should encourage further revision of the traditional interpretation that the creation of a unified 'Norman' kingdom of Sicily in 1130 marked a drastic and deleterious watershed in all aspects of urban development. It suggests that the cities were still able to enjoy a level of autonomy within the monarchy in those affairs that were most important to their inhabitants. Moreover by emphasizing the fluidity of the social structures and groups found in these cities, alongside the powerful role of both the Church and civic consciousness, this study underlines the multi-layered complexity of the urban communities of Southern Italy.

From the mid-eleventh to the early thirteenth century the political map of mainland Southern Italy was in an almost unabated flux. A snapshot of the region in 1050 would see the zones of Apulia and Calabria under the distant rule of the Byzantine Emperor, Lombard principalities centred on Benevento, Capua and Salerno and some small, but independent, duchies on the Tyrennhian coast at Amalfi, Gaeta and Naples. In the backdrop were bands of Norman adventurers, who had been slowly infiltrating into the region for the previous half-century. Initially appearing around 1000 as a mixture of pilgrims and mercenaries, these Normans soon settled and, from bases such as Aversa and Melfi, placed increasing pressure on the existing governing authorities. By 1100 the Normans had transformed the South Italian political landscape immeasurably. Byzantine rule was no more and the Lombard principalities were without their Lombard princes. Apulia, Calabria (along with the island of Sicily which was previously under Muslim rule), the duchy of Amalfi and the principality of Salerno were controlled by Norman dukes of the Hauteville dynasty. Capua was still governed by a prince, but one from the Norman Quarrel kin-group, while Benevento had placed itself under papal rule. Naples retained a precarious independence under its ancient ducal rulers. In 1139, after twelve years of conflict, all of these lands, except for Benevento, were united, with Sicily, into one central kingdom. The architect of this new realm was Roger II of Sicily, a 'scion' of the Hauteville lineage. I Roger's direct descendants ruled the kingdom until 1189 when conflict over the succession erupted. The contest for the throne was finally settled in 1194 with the successful invasion of the German Emperor Henry VI who took the crown. But the death of Henry in 1197 and that of his Sicilian wife Constance in 1198 left a three year old son, Frederick II, and a huge political vacuum. The resultant anarchy I Alexandri Telesini abbatis Ystoria Rogerii Regis Sicilie Calabrie atque Apulie, ed. L. De Nava, FS/112 (Rome, 1991) [henceforth Alex. Tel.] BkI. I p. 6. 3 in the region was not fully quelled until after Frederick's return to Southern Italy in 1220. Despite the manifest instability, Southern Italy's urban centres stand out as a notable constant. While political boundaries moved and regimes fell the city and its community remained. Civic life did not merely subsist though and particularly in the twelfth century it evolved and thrived. This dichotomy of political volatility and urban evolution was found throughout Europe. However, in its European, and even Italian context, Southern Italy (often termed the Mezzogiorno) has received limited attention, both in broad terms and especially in relation to the study of its urban society. Even Nicholas' immense work, The Growth of the Medieval City, barely refers to the southern part of the Italian peninsula.' This in a work that covers, at a number of levels, a phenomenal range of European cities from Spain to the Baltic and from Britain to the Balkans. There is, of course, a relative plethora of studies on Italian urban life - though in most cases Rome is as far south as the coverage is taken.' The concentration on the centre and north of the peninsula is understandable not only because of the vast source material available.

But by the end of that century, Lombards coming from Northern Italy had conquered most of the peninsula, with Byzantium retaining only Calabria and Sicily. From the middle of the 9th century, the Aghlabid Dynasty of Ifrîquya (the original name of Eastern Maghreb) raided Sicily to take possession of the island. A new Byzantine offensive at the end of the century took back most of the lost territories in Apulia and Calabria and established Bari as the new provincial capital. Lombard territories further north were broken down between three cities led by princes: Capua, Salerno, and Benevento. Further east, Italian duchies of Naples, Amalfi, and Gaeta tried to keep their autonomy through successive alliances with the various regional powers to try and maintain their commercial interests. Ethnic struggles in Sicily between Arabs and Berbers on the one side, and various dynasties on the other side, led to power fragmentation: The island is divided between four rival military factions at the beginning of the 11th century. Beyond its natural boundaries, Southern Italy had to cope with two external powers which were looking to expel Byzantium from what they considered was part of their area of influence: the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire.

  • Charters: What Survives?
    Banner 4-final.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2016 09:29 Page 1 Charters: what survives? Charters are our main source for twelh- and thirteenth-century Scotland. Most surviving charters were written for monasteries, which had many properties and privileges and gained considerable expertise in preserving their charters. However, many collections were lost when monasteries declined aer the Reformation (1560) and their lands passed to lay lords. Only 27% of Scottish charters from 1100–1250 survive as original single sheets of parchment; even fewer still have their seal attached. e remaining 73% exist only as later copies. Survival of charter collectionS (relating to 1100–1250) GEOGRAPHICAL SPREAD from inStitutionS founded by 1250 Our picture of documents in this period is geographically distorted. Some regions have no institutions with surviving charter collections, even as copies (like Galloway).

  • LA FAMIGLIA the Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks
    LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Eva Carlestål LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Anthropology presented at Uppsala University in 2005 ABSTRACT Carlestål, Eva, 2005. La Famiglia – The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks. DICA, Disser- tations in Cultural Anthropology, 3. 227 pp. Uppsala. ISSN 1651-7601, ISBN 91-506-1791-5. Anthropological data from fieldwork carried out among a fishing population in western Sicily show how related matrifocal nuclear families are tightly knit within larger, male-headed networks. The mother focus at the basic family level is thereby balanced and the system indi- cates that the mother-child unit does not function effectively on its own, as has often been argued for this type of family structure. As a result of dominating moral values which strong- ly emphasise the uniqueness of family and kin, people are brought up to depend heavily upon and to be loyal to their kin networks, to see themselves primarily as parts of these social units and less so as independent clearly bounded individuals, and to distinctly separate family members from non-family members. This dependence is further strengthened by matri- and/or patrivicinity being the dominant form of locality, by the traditional naming system as well as a continual use of kin terms, and by related people socialising and collaborating closely. The social and physical boundaries thus created around the family networks are further streng- thened by local architecture that symbolically communicates the closed family unit; by the woman, who embodies her family as well as their house, having her outdoor movements restric- ted in order to shield both herself and her family; by self-mastery when it comes to skilfully calculating one's actions and words as a means of controlling the impression one makes on others; and by local patriotism that separates one's co-villagers from foreigners.

  • Charlemagne and Europe
    Journal of the British Academy, 2, 125–152. DOI 10.5871/jba/002.125 Posted 3 December 2014. © The British Academy 2014 Charlemagne and Europe Raleigh Lecture on History read 12 November 2013 JINTY NELSON Fellow of the Academy Abstract: This paper, ‘Charlemagne and Europe’, is a revised and expanded form of the lecture I read on 12 November 2013. I begin by asking what Europe has meant to medieval historians in recent times, focusing on some answers given in the 1990s and around the year 2000, and reflecting on the different ways Charlemagne is being com- memorated in different parts of Europe now, 1,200 years after his death. I then re- examine Charlemagne through evidence from his own time, as a ruler of a recognisably European empire, and, in the light of recent research and new approaches, I recon- sider his record as a political figure. A brief survey of his posthumous reputation as man and myth in the middle ages, and after, leads into a closer look at the roles assigned to him in post-war rhetoric. Finally I ask whether Charlemagne has, or might have, anything to offer Europeans today. Keywords: Charlemagne, Europe, empire, commemoration, myth To be invited to give the Raleigh Lecture is, as it has been since it was endowed almost a century ago, a tremendous honour. It also presents a new challenge, for the British Academy is changing with the times, and today’s Raleigh Lecturer is now invited to connect the Academy with a broad public. The occasion has become part of the Academy’s opening-wide of its doors.
