    Late-Medieval France: A Nation under Construction A study of French national identity formation and the emerging of national consciousness, before and during the Hundred Years War, 1200-1453 Job van den Broek MA History of Politics and Society Dr. Christian Wicke Utrecht University 22 June 2020 Word count: 13.738 2 “Ah! Doulce France! Amie, je te lairay briefment”1 -Attributed to Bertrand du Guesclin, 1380 Images on front page: The kings of France, England, Navarre and the duke of Burgundy (as Count of Charolais), as depicted in the Grand Armorial Équestre de la Toison d’Or, 1435- 1438. 1 Cuvelier in Charrière, volume 2, pp 320. ”Ah, sweet France, my friend, I must leave you very soon.” Translation my own. 2 3 Abstract Whether nations and nationalism are ancient or more recent phenomena is one of the core debates of nationalism studies. Since the 1980’s, modernism, claiming that nations are distinctively modern, has been the dominant view. In this thesis, I challenge this dominant view by doing an extensive case-study into late-medieval France, applying modernist definitions and approaches to a pre-modern era. France has by many regarded as one of the ‘founding fathers’ of the club of nations and has a long and rich history and thus makes a case-study for such an endeavour. I start with mapping the field of French identity formation in the thirteenth century, which mostly revolved around the royal court in Paris. With that established, I move on to the Hundred Years War and the consequences of this war for French identity.

  • Warfare and Violence
    (ANTH 3388) WARFARE AND VVVIOLENCE ::: THE ANTHROPOLOGY AND HISTORY OF HUMAN CONFLICT J-Term 2012 Dr. David J. Wilson Afternoon session: 2:00 to 5:00 pm Office: 455 Heroy Evening session: 6:00 to 9:00 pm E-mail: [email protected] COURSE OBJECTIVES : From their origins in our primate ancestry through modern times, intergroup aggression, violence, and warfare appear to have been among the most constant features of human society. Utilizing data and theories from two of the subfields of anthropology—archaeology and ethnology—as well as from history and political science, this interdisciplinary course examines human aggressive behavior and warfare around the world from their earliest known occurrence, at ca. 16,000 B.C, to the most recent conflict in Iraq. Exemplary cases from prehistoric, historical, and recent times for North and South America, Oceania, the Mediterranean, Eurasia, and Africa form the core of the course. Throughout the course, we will examine and discuss violence and warfare both from an adaptive perspective and, where appropriate, from an ethical standpoint. INSTRUCTOR ’S BACKGROUND : B.A., Political Science, University of Washington; M.A., Spanish, San Diego State University; M.A. and Ph.D., Anthropology, University of Michigan. My archaeological research on the Peruvian north coast has focused on population growth and warfare as especially critical features in the origins and development of complex prehispanic societies in that area of the world. My recent book, INDIGENOUS SOUTH AMERICANS OF THE PAST AND PRESENT , deals with a number of ethnographic and archaeological cases of violent, warlike societies around South America and I have a long-standing interest in this theme at a worldwide level from my undergraduate background in Political Science and from teaching ANTH 3319/Human Ecology, ANTH 3313/South American Indians Past and Present, and ANTH 2302/People of the Earth at SMU.

  • The Cappella Palatina Ceiling and the Muslim Military Inheritance of Norman Sicily
    Gladius XVI (1983), pp. 45-145 David Nicolle ISSN 0435-029X THE CAPPELLA PALATINA CEILING AND THE MUSLIM MILITARY INHERITANCE OF NORMAN SICILY BY DAVID NICOLLE THE CEILING; ITS STRUCTURE, STYLE AND DATE THE Cappella Palatina was the royal chapel of the Norman rulers of Sicily and southern Italy. It stood within their palace in their chief city of Palermo. Built for king Roger II (1130-1154) between the years 1132 and 1143,' the chapel still has as one of its greatest glories a painted wooden ceiling. This ceiling, which is constructed in an Islamic style, is widely believed to have been begun around 1140.^ The chapel itself falls into three sections: a nave and two flanking aisles. The ceiling of the nave, formed of muqarnas or superimposed suspended quarter- domes, arches, squinches and niches, has attracted most attention from art historians because of its splendid surface decoration and because it is an early example of the muqarnas style.' Nevertheless, the ceilings over the two aisles, each formed of a sequence of beams and recessed curved panels, were apparently built and decorated at around the same time." Each ceiling was originally coated with a thin layer of plaster which was then painted with naturalistic scenes, decorative motifs and inscrip• tions,^^ Though damaged in many places, and with layers of painted plaster flaking away in even more, these paintings are among the most extensive still surviving from the 12th century as well as being virtually unique in style and content. It is also worth noting that the degree of 15th century overpainting appears to have been exaggerated,* and is, ' DALU JONES, «The Cappella Palatina in Palermo: Problems of Attribution,* in Art and Archaeology Research Papers, I (1972), p.

  • Fastolf Final
    Sir John Fastolf and the Diverse Affinities of the Medieval Lancegay DAVID SCOTT-MACNAB University of Johannesburg The weapon known as the lancegay flourished in England for approximately 100 years, from the third quarter of the fourteenth century, before falling suddenly into obscurity – an obscurity that has resulted in numerous misleading and erroneous statements being made about it. This article examines the linguistic and cultural origins of the lancegay together with the complex network of affinities that link it with a number of cognate words in several European languages. The evolution, patterns of influence and different senses that characterise this complex family of terms are examined, along with the uncertainties and shortcomings that exist in many editions and dictionaries, with the aim of casting fresh light on a number of issues that have previously not been mapped in relation to one another. Among the myriad items recorded in an inventory of the possessions of the English gentleman-soldier and landowner Sir John Fastolf at Caister Castle, Norfolk, we find that his magna aula, or great hall, contained an assortment of weapons, including eleven crossbows, a boar-spear, twenty-one spears, six ‘Wifles’ (probably battle-axes),1 two shields and a ‘Launce gay’ [sic].2 Fastolf – whose name is perhaps 1 See the Middle English Dictionary, ed.

  • Men of the North Wind the Norman Knight in the 11 Century
    American International Journal of Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6; December 2015 Men of the North Wind the Norman Knight in the 11th Century Mediterranean Robert C. L. Holmes The Battle of Hastings in1066, perhaps one of the most famous events in the English speaking world, has long been used to mark the point at which the old order of the Anglo-Saxons was swept away by the Normans and their knights. The knight was now the unchallenged master of the battlefield. However, the military system employed by the Anglo-Saxons was only one of the possible challengers to the knight’s supremacy. Rather than the conquest of their English kingdom, it was the conquests in the Mediterranean, where the Normans also established a kingdom, which best demonstrate both how and why the knight came to dominate the medieval battlefield. At its height, this other Norman kingdom included Southern Italy, Sicily, Malta, and part of Tunisia. Here in the Mediterranean, the Normans faced the armies of the Byzantine Empire, the Italian Lombards, and the Muslims of Sicily and North Africa, all of whom possessed a seemingly more advanced culture and a long military heritage. In almost every battle the paltry Norman forces were significantly outnumbered by the opposing armies. That the Normans still managed to emerge victorious was in no small part due to the battlefield dominance of the knight. The historiography of the Norman conquests in the Mediterranean while not nearly as extensive as that of their English conquests possesses an equally impressive pedigree, though one with humble beginnings.
