  • Elisabeth Parr's Renaissance at the Mid-Tudor Court
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2013, vol. 8 Elisabeth Parr’s Renaissance at the Mid-Tudor Court Helen Graham-Matheson oan Kelly’s ground-breaking article, “Did Women Have a Renaissance?” Jcenters on four criteria for ascertaining the “relative contraction (or expansion) of the powers of Renaissance women”: women’s economic, political, cultural roles and the ideology about women across the mid- Tudor period. Focusing particularly on cultural and political roles, this essay applies Kelly’s criteria to Elisabeth Parr née Brooke, Marchioness of Northampton (1526–1565) and sister-in-law of Katherine Parr, Henry VIII’s last wife, whose controversial court career evinces women’s lived experience and their contemporary political importance across the mid- Tudor courts of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. By taking each reign in isolation, this essay follows Kelly’s call to question “accepted schemes of periodization” and reassesses whether “events that further the historical development of men, liberating them from natural, social, or ideological constraints, have quite different, even opposite, effects upon women.”1 The key point of departure of my essay from Kelly’s argument is that she states that women’s involvement in the public sphere and politics lessened in the Italian cinquecento, whereas my findings suggest that in England women such as Elisabeth Parr increasingly involved themselves in the public world of court politics. According to Kelly, 1 Joan Kelly, ”Did Women Have a Renaissance?” Feminism and Renaissance Studies, ed. L.

    Advising France through the Example of England: Visual Narrative in the Livre de la prinse et mort du roy Richart (Harl. MS. 1319) Anne D. Hedeman Duke John of Berry’s inventories of 1411 and 1413 record the gift of an unusual history that described the fall from power of Richard II, king of England: Item, the Livre de la prinse et mort du roy Richart d’Angleterre (Book of the Capture and Death of King Richard II), written in rhyming French in lettre de court and illustrated in several places, the incipit of the second folio qu’il eust, covered with black silk with two round clasps of gilded silver enamelled with the arms of France, which the departed vidame de Laonnois, formerly the grand maistre of the king’s household gave to the duke. [Item, le Livre de la prinse et mort du roy Richart d’Angleterre, escript en françoys rimé, de lettre de court, et historié en pluseurs lieux; et au commancement du second fueillet a escript: qu’il eust, couvert de drap de soye noir, à deux fermouers roons d’argent dorez, esmaillez aux armes de France; que le feu vidame de Laonnois, en son vivant grant maistre d’ostel du Roy, donna à Monseigneur].1 This gift from John of Montaigu, the vidame of Laonnois, to the duke is the earliest surviving copy of an eyewitness account of Richard II’s deposition in 1399 written by Jean Creton in a mixture of verse and prose. Penned some time between November 1401 and March 1402 at the request of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, it is an important early source for historians curious about the events surrounding Richard’s deposition and demise.2 The account has recently been discussed by Ardis Butterfield as an example of the importance of French as one of two ‘mother tongues’ in England and by both Paul Strohm This was first presented at the British Library Conference, ‘Divers Manuscripts both Antient & Curious’: Treasures from the Harley Collection, that took place 29-30 June 2009.

  • The Eructavit Is Generally Linked with Marie of Champagne. I Should Like
    淡江人文社會學刊【第十期】 The Eructavit is generally linked with Marie of Champagne. I should like to demonstrate, however, that this Old French metrical paraphrase of Psalm XLIV (in the Vulgate edition) is inextricably linked with Marie of Brabant as well. In pursuing this link, I believe I can explain both the occasion and the content of (Paris, BN) Arsenal 3142, the manuscript generally thought to have been composed for Marie of Brabant. Furthermore, in so doing, I should like to establish a possible dating, as well as an occasion, for the Eructavit and for the Arsenal Manuscript 3142. In order to do this, I should like to introduce the setting in which the Eructavit was written, the people surrounding its production, and the familial ties connecting the existing manuscripts of the Eructavit to the Arsenal Manuscript 3142. I should then like to deal with the form of the Arsenal Manuscript in terms of the Eructavit and the 44th Psalm. Marie of France, the eldest daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine and of Louis VII of France, was given in marriage in 1154 to Henry I, called the Liberal, of Champagne.(1) Henry of Champagne was a learned man, a recipient of sermons, commentaries on the Psalms, and liturgical pieces, including ten sequences (Benton, 1961, p. 556). John of Salisbury (who at the time of the Becket case was exiled from England and staying with his friend Pierre de Celle, then abbot of Saint-Remi-de Reims and friend as well of Henry) tells us of the “great pleasure which the Count Henry took in discussing literary subjects with learned men.”(2) Furthermore, Chretien de Troyes, Evrat, Gace Brule, Gautier d’Arras, and Simon Chevre d’Or, all known poets, acknowledge the personal intervention of Henry or Marie in their work.(3) The court of Champagne was well established as a center of learning and patronage.

Turcotte Originally published in Québec: Atelier Typographique du “Canadien,” 21 rue de la Montagne, Basse-Ville, Québec City 1867 Translated into English by Dr. Elizabeth Blood, Salem State University, Salem, Massachusetts 2019 1 | © 2019 Elizabeth Blood TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE It is estimated that, today, there are about 20 million North American descendants of the relatively small number of French immigrants who braved the voyage across the Atlantic to settle the colony of New France in the 17th and early 18th centuries. In fact, Louis-Philippe Turcotte tells us that there were fewer than 5,000 inhabitants in all of New France in 1667, but that number increased exponentially with new arrivals and with each new generation of French Canadiens. By the mid-19th century, the land could no longer support the population, and the push and pull of political and economic forces led to a massive emigration of French-Canadians into the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Preface by: M. Nostradamus to his Prophecies Greetings and happiness to César Nostradamus my son Your late arrival, César Nostredame, my son, has made me spend much time in constant nightly reflection so that I could communicate with you by letter and leave you this reminder, after my death, for the benefit of all men, of which the divine spirit has vouchsafed me to know by means of astronomy. And since it was the Almighty's will that you were not born here in this region [Provence] and I do not want to talk of years to come but of the months during which you will struggle to grasp and understand the work I shall be compelled to leave you after my death: assuming that it will not be possible for me to leave you such [clearer] writing as may be destroyed through the injustice of the age [1555]. The key to the hidden prediction which you will inherit will be locked inside my heart. Also bear in mind that the events here described have not yet come to pass, and that all is ruled and governed by the power of Almighty God, inspiring us not by bacchic frenzy nor by enchantments but by astronomical assurances: predictions have been made through the inspiration of divine will alone and the spirit of prophecy in particular.

Wallenskold 's 1925 edition. An evaluation of the placement and ordering of Thibaut 's songs in the codices, as well as their rubrics and melodies, affordsan understanding of the construction of these chansonniers, obscured through decades of reliance on print editions. A rapid scrutiny of these linguistically (C) and musically (R) marginal manuscripts both reveals how little we know about the transmission of trouvere lyric and underscores the importance of a material-philological approach for all future editions of the trouveres. The corpus of the royal trouvere Thibaut IV of Champagne (1201-1253) has been traditionally numbered at between sixty-one and seventy songs. MS Mt, the Chansonnier du Roi de Navarre- interpolated into MS Paris, Bibliotheque nationale de France, fro 844 and considered one of the most reliable collections of Thibaut's songs - contains sixty entries. In his 1925 edition, Axel Wallenskold declared fifty-nine compositions as authentic (see Table 1).

Lilly Committee Members Dr. William G. Palmer, Committee Chairperson Dr. Montserrat Miller Dr. David L. Kenley Marshall University Huntington, West Virginia April, 2003 Abstract Sir Henry Norris: English Ambassador, Huguenot Advocate Robert G. Lilly Henry Norris served as English ambassador in France from 1567 to 1571, during the second and third French wars of religion, fought between Protestant Huguenots and the ruling Catholics. As ambassador Norris was able to help convince his reluctant Queen, Elizabeth I, to provide aid to her fellow Protestants in France. Elizabeth also entrusted Norris with the task of persuading the French authorities to refrain from sending forces to aid the deposed Scottish Queen Mary and Catholic rebels in the North of England. Despite contemporary criticism that he was inexperienced, and criticism from modern historians that he was ineffective, this thesis shows that Norris played an important role in England’s diplomatic relationship with France during his ambassadorship, and his vocal support for the Huguenots helped pioneer the idea of religious pluralism accepted in modern democracies.
