Aunque no es muy conocida, fue otro de los hitos en la organización militar de los Ejércitos de España, en este caso, de Castilla. La organización en los Ejércitos de los reinos que conformaban Es- paña, fue una constante desde el origen de los mismos, con hitos como el de Alfonso X el Sabio o las sucesivas ordenanzas de los Reyes Católicos, que serían el germen de la luego temida Infantería Española, la cual alcanzaría el culmen de su prestigio con la unidad militar “Tercio”. En este número extraordinario pretendemos recuperar las “otras” or- denanzas, las de los Austrias, tratando también las ordenanzas medievales y las de los Reyes Católicos. Todas en conjunto crearon y mantuvieron el po- derío militar de una Nación que sobrepasó sus propias expectativas y fronte- ras durante más de 150 años y que mantuvo esas fronteras durante 200 años más, con otras ordenanzas y uniformes, pero con la misma Alma eterna de la Nación Española.

  • Embodied Authority in the Spiritual Autobiographies of Four Early Modern Women from Spain and Mexico
    EMBODIED AUTHORITY IN THE SPIRITUAL AUTOBIOGRAPHIES OF FOUR EARLY MODERN WOMEN FROM SPAIN AND MEXICO DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christine M. Cloud, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Maureen Ahern, Adviser Professor Elizabeth Davis ________________________ Professor Julia Watson Adviser Spanish and Portuguese Graduate Program Copyright by Christine M. Cloud 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of how four early modern Hispanic women religious constructed embodied authority through their fusion of different hagiographic models with their bodies and their lived bodily experiences within their spiritual autobiographical writing, or vidas, and in the process transformed the formulaic nature of the genre. Six chapters analyze the four distinct, complex autobiographical narratives of the Spanish religious Isabel de Jesús (1586-1648) and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza (1566-1641) and the Mexican nuns María Magdalena Lorravaquio Muñoz (1576-1636) and María de San José, (1576-1636). The chapters explore how these four women accomplished this goal by talking back to enforced enclosure by re-defining their “unruly” or “unenclosed” feminine bodies in the interest of obtaining and/or justifying a position of religious and spiritual authority. The introductory chapter offers an explanation of the hypothesis, the theoretical framework and methodology, a summary of

  • Richelieu's Army: War, Government and Society in France, 1624–1642
    Richelieu's Army: War, Government and Society in France, 1624–1642 DAVID PARROTT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Richelieu's Army War, Government and Society in France, 1624±1642 The conduct of European war on an unprecedented scale is central to an understanding of the ministry of Richelieu (1624±42), and there has been no previous study of the French army during this period. This book provides a detailed account of the organization of the army, and examines the challenges posed by war to government and society in a period associated with the creation of the `absolutist state'. By making extensive use of archival material, the study cuts through myths concerning military and administrative evolution, and confronts typical assumptions about progressive centralization and more effective control of the war-effort by the crown and its agents. Although the European war imposed huge burdens upon the French people, Richelieu's ministry struggled to control the army through traditional administrative and ®nancial mechanisms. Far from strengthening the absolutist authority of government, the waging of war eroded the ministry's control over army of®cers and troops and incited tensions between soldiers and civilians across French society which in turn contributed to the undermining of existing structures of authority and control. The book also makes an original and sceptical contribution to the debate about a `military revolution' in early modern Europe by examining the conduct of war in early seventeenth- century France. In addition, it seeks to contextualize the inadequacy of the war-effort during Richelieu's ministry by providing a view of the military context of French foreign policy after 1625 which challenges many of the orthodoxies about Richelieu's aims and objectives in involving France in the Thirty Years War.

  • Iskander Rehman Raison D’Etat: Richelieu’S Grand Strategy During the Thirty Years’ War
    The Scholar Iskander Rehman Raison d’Etat: Richelieu’s Grand Strategy During The Thirty Years’ War Renowned for his fierce intellect, mastery of the dark arts of propaganda, and unshakeable belief in the centralizing virtues of the French monarchy, Cardinal Richelieu’s actions as chief minister under Louis XIII from 1624 to 1642 have been heatedly debated by generations of historians, political philosophers, novelists, and biographers. The polarizing figure is best known for three things: his unabashed authoritarianism, his efforts to stiffen the sinews of the French state, and his decision to position France as a counterweight to Habsburg hegemony through a network of alliances with Protestant powers. This article focuses on this last aspect of Richelieu’s life and legacy: his conception and practice of great power competition. What philosophy of power and statecraft underpinned the cardinal’s approach to counter-hegemonic balancing? To what extent was Richelieu truly successful, and what insights can contemporary security managers derive from his policies and actions? Drawing on both primary and secondary literature, this essay engages in a detailed and interdisciplinary study of Richelieu’s grand strategy during the Thirty Years’ War.

From the late 15th century to the early 19th, Spain controlled a huge overseas 1492–1976 territory in the New World, the Asian archipelago of the Philippines, what they called "The Indies" (Spanish: Las Indias) and territories in Europe (centring on the so-called Spanish Road), Africa and Oceania.[2] It was one of the most powerful empires of the 16th and 17th centuries.[3][4] The Spanish Empire became known as "the empire on which the Left: Burgundy flag Right: Naval flag sun never sets" and reached its maximum extent in the 18th century.[5][6][7] Motto: Plus Ultra (Latin) "Further Beyond" Castile became the dominant kingdom in Iberia because of its Anthem: Marcha Real (Spanish) jurisdiction over the overseas empire in the Americas and the "Royal March" Philippines.[8] The structure of empire was established under the Spanish Habsburgs (1516–1700), and under the Spanish Bourbon monarchs the empire was brought under greater crown control and increased its revenues from the Indies.[9][10] The crown's authority in The Indies was enlarged by the papal grant of powers of patronage, giving it power in the religious sphere.[11][12] An important element in the formation of Spain's empire was the dynastic union between Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, The areas of the world that at one time known as the Catholic Monarchs, which initiated political, were territories of the Spanish Monarchy [13] or Empire (including territories of the religious and social cohesion but not political unification.
