For Immediate Release 30 October 2006 Contact: Christina Freyberg +44 20 7 752 3120 [email protected] Alexandra Kindermann +44 20 7 389 2289 [email protected] MEISSEN MASTERPIECES EXQUISITE AND RARE PORCELAIN MODELS FROM THE ROYAL HOUSE OF SAXONY TO BE OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S LONDON British and Continental Ceramics Christie’s King Street Monday, 18 December 2006 London – A collection of four 18th century Meissen porcelain masterpieces are to be offered for sale in London on 18 December 2006 in the British and Continental Ceramics sale. This outstanding Meissen collection includes two white porcelain models of a lion and lioness (estimate: £3,000,000-5,000,000) and a white model of a fox and hen (estimate: £200,000-300,000) commissioned for the Japanese Palace in Dresden together with a white element vase in the form of a ewer (£10,000-15,000). “The porcelain menagerie was an ambitious and unparalleled project in the history of ceramics and the magnificent size of these models is a testament to the skill of the Meissen factory,” said Rodney Woolley, Director and Head of European Ceramics. “The sheer exuberance of these examples bears witness to the outstanding modelling of Kirchner and Kändler. The opportunity to acquire these Meissen masterpieces from the direct descendants of Augustus the Strong is unique and we are thrilled to have been entrusted with their sale,” he continued. The works of art have been recently restituted to the heirs of the Royal House of Saxony, the Wettin family. Commenting on the Meissen masterpieces, a spokesperson for the Royal House of Saxony said: “The Wettin family has worked closely, and over many years with the authorities to achieve a successful outcome of the restitution of many works of art among which are these four Meissen porcelain objects, commissioned by our forebear Augustus the Strong.

Thiry, B. A., M. A. ****** The Ohio State University 1970 Approved by Iviser Department of History PREFACE For those with professional interest in the Reforma tion era, Ferdinand of the House of Habsburg requires no special introduction here. As the younger and sole brother of Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation in the first-half of the sixteenth century, Ferdi nand's place among the list of secular, notables of the pe riod is assured. Singled out in 1521 by his imperial brother to be the Archduke of Austria and to become his personal representative in Germany, attaining the kingships of Bohe mia and Hungary in 1526 and 1527 respectively, and designated, following his brother's abdication and retirement from pub lic life in 1556, to succeed him as emperor of Germany, Fer dinand could not help leaving behind him from such political heights indelible footprints upon the course of history. Yet, probably because of the fragmentation of Ferdi nand's energy into these many various channels of responsi bility and the presence of his illustrious brother, Charles V, and his fanatical nephew, Philip II of Spain, who both eclipsed his own place on the stage of history, Ferdinand's historical significance has been largely overlooked by IX posterity.

Theory of Dynasticism
Theory of Dynasticism Actors, Interests, and Strategies of Medieval Dynasties Sindre Gade Viksand Master’s Thesis Department of Political Science University of Oslo Spring 2017 I II Theory of Dynasticism Actors, Interests, and Strategies of Medieval Dynasties Sindre Gade Viksand III © Sindre Gade Viksand 2017 Theory of Dynasticism. Actors, Interests, and Strategies of Medieval Dynasties Sindre Gade Viksand http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Grafisk Senter AS Word Count: 33 363 IV Abstract Dynasticism has emerged as common concept to refer to the logics of rule in pre-modern international systems. This thesis will attempt both to theorise the concept, as well as developing an ideal-typical framework to analyse one of the most important strategies of the dynasty: the dynastic marriage. It will be argued that the dynamics of dynasticism arose from the changing structures to the European family around AD 1000. These structural changes gave further rise to hierarchies among dynastic actors, interests, and strategies, which will form the basis of a theory of dynasticism. This theory will be utilised to make sense of the various interests involved in creating matrimonial strategies for the dynasty. The argument advanced is that dynastic heirs married according to logics of reproduction; dynastic cadets married for territorial acquisitions; and dynastic daughters married to establish and maintain alliances with other dynasties. These theoretical insights will be used to analyse the marriages of three dynasties in medieval Europe: the Plantagenet, the Capet, and the Hohenstaufen.

Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

Memories of the House of Este in England
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION AND ASSOCIATION ON NOBILITY (TICAN) Memories of the House of Este in England The Royal House of Windsor, in their veins runs the blood of the oldest Italian Dynasty Carmelo Currò Troiano & Don Salvatore Ferdinando Antonio Caputo (George, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, Prince-Elector of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick. ca. 1714, the year of his succession, by Sir Godfrey Kneller) Memories of the House of Este in England The Este Royal Family still reigns, and with the world's most famous monarchy. It reigns under another name, because now is called Windsor. In their veins, however, runs the blood of the oldest Italian Dynasty. Among the many states of late medieval Italy, one stands out for its unfamiliarity to an English audience and for its neglect in historical research: that of the Este family, lords (later Dukes) of the cities of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio in northern Italy. Welf IV d'Este, son of Alberto Azzo II, moved to Germany, first to Carinthia and then to Bavaria, giving rise to one of the most important families in European history, the Guelphs. This in turn ultimately led to the ascension to the English throne in 1714 with George I of England. The Este constituted, with the Savoy, the longest Italian family dynastic among the various lordships that from the Middle Ages to the Risorgimento (The Resurgence) dominated the small states that made up the boot of Italy controlled for long periods a portion that practically reached from the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea until the Republic of Lucca, acting as cushion between the states of the Church and those in the north, Venice, Mantua and Milan.

Introduction
Cambridge University Press 0521651131 - Henry IV of Germany, 1056-1106 I. S. Robinson Excerpt More information Introduction ‘Since he was a man born and brought up to rule, he always showed a royal spirit in adversity, as was fitting in one of such descent, whose ancestors had held such high office and enjoyed such renown, and he preferred to die rather than be conquered. He considered it a matter of irremediable shame to allow an injury to go unpunished.’1 Thus Henry IV is portrayed in the chronicle of Lampert, monk of Hersfeld, the apologist of his Saxon enemies. According to this chronicler, Henry’s ‘royal spirit’ deteriorated under the influence of low- born counsellors into a lust for power which threatened the property and the very freedom of his subjects. Another apologist of the Saxon rebels, Bruno, clerk of Merseburg, wrote that it was uncertain ‘which was the greater infamy, that of his incestuous lust or that of his boundless cruelty’.2 Most narrative sources for the reign of Henry IV were written from an anti-Henrician point of view. Many were composed by supporters of Pope Gregory VII and the reform papacy with which Henry was in conflict for the last thirty years of his reign. These Gregorian chroniclers echoed the language of the Saxon apolo- gists, portraying a king who ‘used to rage savagely against [his subjects] accord- ing to his whim’; whose ‘thoughts turned to tyranny and [who] planned to hold the kingdom not by justice but by violence’.3 Henry IV ‘wished there to be no lords in his kingdom, so that he might be the sole lord over all men’.
