Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period
Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period This volume is an investigation of how Augustine was received in the Carolingian period, and the elements of his thought which had an impact on Carolingian ideas of ‘state’, rulership and ethics. It focuses on Alcuin of York and Hincmar of Rheims, authors and political advisers to Charlemagne and to Charles the Bald, respectively. It examines how they used Augustinian political thought and ethics, as manifested in the De civitate Dei, to give more weight to their advice. A comparative approach sheds light on the differences between Charlemagne’s reign and that of his grandson. It scrutinizes Alcuin’s and Hincmar’s discussions of empire, rulership and the moral conduct of political agents during which both drew on the De civitate Dei, although each came away with a different understanding. By means of a philological–historical approach, the book offers a deeper reading and treats the Latin texts as political discourses defined by content and language. Sophia Moesch is currently an SNSF-funded postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford, working on a project entitled ‘Developing Principles of Good Govern- ance: Latin and Greek Political Advice during the Carolingian and Macedonian Reforms’. She completed her PhD in History at King’s College London.

Rope Family History Page 1 of 12
Rope Family History page 1 of 12 Rope Family History Some thoughts on genealogy At previous reunions we had access to a family tree that went back to Edward II. It was a single line someone had established back from Edward Mingay Rope. In reality our ancestry is represented more like a circle than a line. If we were to place any of the first New Zealand generation of Ropes at the centre (in my case, Ted), off to one side we have his mum Emma Morely Powell, and off to the left, we have Edward Mingay Rope, by the time we go back 20 generations, (to the late 1200s) Ted Rope would have over one million ancestors. Ted So now we have a family tree that looks a little like this. We know very little on the Powell side, but the Rope side has been filled out a lot. From Dorothy Wentworth from our original family tree, born in 1532, our tree now fills out dramatically, revealing some fascinating stories. This is thanks to the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) website, Wikipedia and other genealogy sites on the Internet. We knew that we went back to prominent people – which means that their history is recorded and lines of descent are easy to follow. Now we know that we are descended from Vikings (Denmark and Norway), Normans, Spanish, Scots and Irish. And that’s just from this small segment of billions of ancestors. These lines go back to the distant past – AD 160 for the Viking line, and if you follow the Irish line on Wikipedia – it will take you back even further to a place where truth and myth merge. -
Attila the Hun
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila_the_Hun Attila the Hun Attila (406 – 453), also known as Attila the Hun, was leader (Khagan) of the Huns from 434 until his death in 453. He was leader of the Hunnic Empire which stretched from Germany to the Ural River and from the River Danube to the Baltic Sea. During his rule, he was one of the most fearsome of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires' enemies: he invaded the Balkans twice and marched through Gaul (modern France) as far as Orleans before being defeated at the Battle of Chalons. He refrained from attacking either Constantinople or Rome . In much of Western Europe, he is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity. In contrast, some histories and chronicles lionize him as a great and noble king, and he plays major roles in three Norse sagas. Mór Than's painting The Feast of Attila, based on a fragment of Priscus (depicted at right, dressed in white and holding his history): "When evening began to draw in, torches were lighted, and two barbarians came forward in front of Attila and sang songs which they had composed, hymning his victories and his great deeds in war. And the banqueters gazed at them, and some were rejoiced at the songs, others became excited at heart when they remembered the wars, but others broke into tears—those whose bodies were weakened by time and whose spirit was compelled to be at rest. Invasion of Italy and death Raphael's The Meeting between Leo the Great and Attila shows Leo I, with Saint Peter and Saint Paul above him, going to meet Attila Attila returned in 452 to claim his marriage to Honoria anew, invading and ravaging Italy along the way. -

LONDON ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. 1893. PREFACE, THIS collection of traditionary lore connected with the Holy Wells, Rivers, Springs, and Lakes of England is the first systematic attempt made. It has been said there is no book in any language which treats of Holy Wells, except in a most fragmentary and discursive manner. It is hoped, therefore, that this may prove the foundation of an exhaustive work, at some future date, by a more competent hand. The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well-worship in its broadest sense, "a worship simple and more dignified than a senseless crouching before idols." An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained. -

Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's
Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s Volume I: Continental Ancestors Before Hastings David Anderson March 2016 Charlemagne’s Europe – 800 AD For additional information, please contact David Anderson at: [email protected] 508 409 8597 Stained glass window depicting Charles Martel at Strasbourg Cathedral. Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. -
Frank Royal Ancestry
GRANHOLM GENEALOGY FRANK ROYAL ANCESTRY Introduction by Lars Granholm The Frank empire lasted about 500 years, (300-800 AD) as listed below. It covered approximately the present France and Germany, but during several wars the area changed constantly. Also different areas were split up among sons and other relatives and favorites. After Charlemagne France and Germany were established as separate countries. This presentation begins where the myth turns into history and ends with Charlemagne . For earlier legendary ancestry, to the time of the birth of Christ, see the link below by Jacob Holdt. http://www.american-pictures.com/english/jacob/x2269.htm (click on the yellow star) Descendants of: Pharamond King of the Franks As Related to: Lars Erik Granholm 1 Pharamond King of the Franks #16052 (51st great grand father) 2 Clodio King of the Franks #16051 b. 395 d. 448 (50th great grand father) 3 Merovech King of the Franks #16050 b. 411 France d. 457 (49th great grand father) m.

Classification of Candidates
LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.2 CANDIDATES AND THE CLASSIFICATION OF VOTING BEHAVIOUR The key endeavour of much electoral analysis is to determine what kind of voter polled for what kind of candidate. The historian of the pre- reform electorate is fortunate in this respect in being able to know much more about almost every candidate1 than at any time before the contemporary period.2 Nomination of candidates took place at the hustings, immediately prior to the call for a show of hands by the returning officer. Some who may have sought election nonetheless withdrew from the contest, either following a disappointing canvass or following the show of hands. For the purposes of the LED only those who carried on to the next stage of the electoral process, in eighteenth-century parlance those who ‘stood the poll’, are deemed to have been candidates. Of those who stood the poll, some withdrew during the course of polling. Sometimes this would terminate the election, as when John Graham withdrew from the Westminster election of 1802, or when William Mellish withdrew from the Middlesex contest of 1820. In other cases the withdrawal of a candidate allowed others to continue the contest, although there was no mechanism for re-allocating those votes already given to the candidate who threw in the towel. Thus the withdrawal of William Pitt from the London election of 1784, after he had been nominated for a popular but uncertain seat without his consent, did not preclude a continuation of the contest between the remaining candidates. Even the death of John Hankey, the fifth candidate in the London contest of 1807, did not cause the poll to be terminated. -

Oct. 2021 From Caesar to Charlemagne: The Tradition of Trojan Origins N. Kıvılcım Yavuz* The Trojan War, which is traditionally considered to have occurred in the twelfth century bce, has been one of the most exploited subjects of European culture and history. Not only did it provide some of the most important literary motifs for ancient Greek and Roman culture, but it also played a role in the genesis of the nations of early medieval Europe. The Trojans had an afterlife that connected them to multitudes of subsequent peoples. This study examines the story of the Trojan origins of the Franks from its inception during the Merovingian period to its development under the Carolingians. Considering both textual and manuscript evidence, it discusses the dissemination of the origin story as well as its association with Charlemagne.
