  • Relations Between Portugal and Castile in the Late Middle Ages – 13Th-16Th Centuries
    Relations between Portugal and Castile in the Late Middle Ages – 13th-16th centuries Vicente Ángel Álvarez Palenzuela Autonoma University of Madrid [email protected] Abstract A study of the intense diplomatic relations maintained between the Portuguese and Leonese, afterwards Castilian-Leonese, monarchies throughout the Middle Ages. They were dotted with a series of agreements relating to the internal problems of each kingdom, the mutual relations and the general political situation in the Iberian Peninsula. These relations, except for specific moments of brief warfare, which were sometimes very serious, were friendly and familiar. This didn’t exclude the occurrence of frictions resulting from contrary interests. On both sides of the frontier very similar problems were faced: dynastic confrontations or rebellions of the nobility in which both monarchies usually collaborated closely. Castilian expansion and the resulting imbalance of power in its favour, was the cause of the gravest tensions. Key words Diplomatic Relations, Castile, International Treaties Relations between the Portuguese monarchy and the monarchies of Leon or Castile (the Kingdom of Castile was the historical continuation of the Kingdom of Leon) after the unification of the latter two kingdoms show a profundity, intensity and continuity not to be found among any of the other peninsular kingdoms during the Middle Ages, even though these were also very close. The bond between the two went far beyond merely diplomatic relations. The matrimonial unions between the two

  • The Subversive Court of Louise Bénédicte De Bourbon, Daughter-In-Law of the Sun King (1700–1718)”
    Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Conference, 8–10 April 2021 Jordan D. Hallmark, Portland State University, graduate student, “Parody, Performance, and Conspiracy in Early Eighteenth-Century France: The Subversive Court of Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon, Daughter-in-Law of the Sun King (1700–1718)” Abstract: This paper examines how the French princess Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon, duchesse du Maine (1676–1753), the wife of Louis XIV’s illegitimate son, the duc du Maine, established an exclusive court at her château de Sceaux beginning in the year 1700 that challenged the centralized cultural system of the French monarchical state. Located twenty kilometers away from the rigid and controlling political center of Versailles, the court of the duchesse du Maine subverted social norms by inventing and performing parodies of court protocols, chivalric orders, emblems, and other forms of monarchical imagery. In a time and place where women were both legally and socially barred from holding positions of authority, the duchesse du Maine created a parallel world in which she was the sovereign, presiding over a court of important political, cultural, and intellectual figures, including the philosopher Voltaire. By considering the significance of this subversive court culture in the context of the factional divisions and dynastic crises emerging in the last years of Louis XIV’s reign, this paper will show how the seemingly frivolous aristocratic divertissements of the duchesse du Maine and her circle were informed by political, social, and dynastic ambitions that would culminate in a conspiracy to overthrow the French regent, Philippe d’Orléans, in 1718. “Parody, Performance, and Conspiracy in Early Eighteenth-Century France: The Subversive Court of Louise-Bénédicte de Bourbon, Daughter-In-Law of the Sun King (1700–1718)” by Jordan D.

  • Origins of Noble Landed Property in Premyslide Bohemia
    JOSEPH ZEMLICKA Origins of Noble Landed Property in Premyslide Bohemia ABSTRACT This paper explores the Iransformations ofBohemian (and Moravian) elites from archaic tribat leadership through "retainer aristocracy" of the early Premyslide rulers to landed nobility ofthe high Middle Ages. Detailed information on secular landownership is available only from 1100onward, but it is sufficient to establish that the magnates, who obtainedjurisdiction over castle-estatesfrom the dukes only gradually tried to transform these into hereditary landed property. The great landowners kept using their position as officers ofthe crown and their income from their share of ducal revenues parallel to building up their fa mily estates. This process is investigated on several examples, such as the growth of seigneurial as opposed to ducal cast/es, and the connection between internal colonisation and growth of landed estates. The author argues that this "roundabout way" of the emergence of secular landownership was inevitable because ofthe limited resour­ ces ofthe land and the strength ofthe ducal power based partly on the confiscated estates ofrival duces. Only afterthe expansionof cultivated land, increase ofservile dues, and efficient estate management was the nobility able to shed its official character and become a more or less independent economic, social, and-gradu­ ally-also political, fo rce. The origin of medieval nobility in Bohernia and Moravia has been studied by many historians. Franti�ek Palacky assigned a major role to the nobility under the Pfemyslide and Luxemburg dynasties. However, be argued that legally differentiated estates and what he called "feudal" society emerged only after 1250 A.D. (Palacky 1876, 15-17).

Duncan for the degree of Master of Arts ifi the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies to be taken August 1996 Title, AUTH03LE ZUOZHUAN Approved: Dr. Stephen w. Durrant The Zuozhuan £1' (Zuo Commentaries); a narrative history of China's Spring and Autumn period .(722-479 BCE), has been included among the thirteen classics of Confucianism since the Tang dynasty. Yet its pages contain numerous references to Shang and early Zhou divination practices. It seems paradoxical that a text identified with Confucian humanism would be full of references to the supernatural. I suggest that the Zuozhuan builds upon the foundations of the authority of Shang and Zhou ritual to establish the authority of Confucian doctrine. This phenomenon has been mentioned by other scholars, though no study has addressed this directly. It is the goal of this thesis to use passages in the zuozhuan to demonstrate how authority moved from an external source to an internal source during the Eastern Zhou and to show that Zuozhuan makes use of iv something that Lakoff and Johnson have called idealized cognitive models.

  • Women Rulers in Imperial China
    NAN N Ü Keith McMahonNan Nü 15-2/ Nan (2013) Nü 15 179-218(2013) 179-218 www.brill.com/nanu179 ISSN 1387-6805 (print version) ISSN 1568-5268 (online version) NANU Women Rulers in Imperial China Keith McMahon (University of Kansas) [email protected] Abstract “Women Rulers in Imperial China”is about the history and characteristics of rule by women in China from the Han dynasty to the Qing, especially focusing on the Tang dynasty ruler Wu Zetian (625-705) and the Song dynasty Empress Liu. The usual reason that allowed a woman to rule was the illness, incapacity, or death of her emperor-husband and the extreme youth of his son the successor. In such situations, the precedent was for a woman to govern temporarily as regent and, when the heir apparent became old enough, hand power to him. But many women ruled without being recognized as regent, and many did not hand power to the son once he was old enough, or even if they did, still continued to exert power. In the most extreme case, Wu Zetian declared herself emperor of her own dynasty. She was the climax of the long history of women rulers. Women after her avoided being compared to her but retained many of her methods of legitimization, such as the patronage of art and religion, the use of cosmic titles and vocabulary, and occasional gestures of impersonating a male emperor. When women ruled, it was an in-between time when notions and language about something that was not supposed to be nevertheless took shape and tested the limits of what could be made acceptable.

  • Leviathan's Heir. Enlightenment Philosophy and Hereditary
    30 J E H L Leviathan’s Heir. Enlightenment Philosophy and Hereditary Monarchy * Christoph Bezemek ** Abstract Hereditary monarchy and enlightenment political theory hardly seem to be reconciled at first glance. And yet, the advantages and disadvantages of monarchical succession according to lineage were a continuous subject of debate between some of the most prominent enlightenment thinkers.

  • Heir of the Month: the First Year (2013-2014)
    Heir of the Month: The First Year (2013-2014) www.heirstothethrone-project.net The First Year HEIR OF THE MONTH Preface A research grant awarded by the AHRC has enabled a small team of researchers at the University of St Andrews to explore the roles played by the men and women destined, one day, to inherit a crown in the workings of Europe’s monarchies in the course of the Long Nineteenth Century. In addition to the researchers directly supported by the AHRC-grant, other historians with cognate interests are actively contributing to the work of the “Heirs to the Throne Project”. They help us to generate a lively, energetic atmosphere and to reach out to as many interested audiences as we can. We are delighted to provide more information about their work on our website. One of our on-going activities in this respect is the regular Heir of the Month feature: a monthly biographically-focused essay, published online, written to appeal to wide readership with interests in historical issues, especially the history of 19th-century monarchy. Each essay draws on the current research pursued by the author, but we aim to present our findings in an accessible, thought-provoking and lively fashion. October 2014 marks a first milestone for this part of our project: we have completed a full year in our “Heir of the Month” series. In order to make these essays more easily accessible, we have collated them in the shape of a first “Royal Annual”. We hope that “our” heirs – some of them sadly forgotten – will meet with renewed interest and afford our readers both enjoyment and food for thought.

  • Saudi Defense Shake-Up Changes Minister and Ministry by Simon Henderson
    MENU Policy Analysis / Policy Alert Saudi Defense Shake-Up Changes Minister and Ministry by Simon Henderson Nov 7, 2011 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Simon Henderson Simon Henderson is the Baker fellow and director of the Bernstein Program on Gulf and Energy Policy at The Washington Institute, specializing in energy matters and the conservative Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Brief Analysis Saudi Arabia has announced a series of eagerly expected changes forced by the recent death of Crown Prince Sultan, the heir apparent and long-serving defense minister. n November 5, Saudi Arabia announced a series of eagerly expected changes forced by the recent death of O Crown Prince Sultan, the heir apparent and long-serving defense minister. The key announcement was that Riyadh provincial governor Prince Salman will now head the Ministry of Defense. Passed over for the job were Prince Abdulrahman, the vice minister of defense who was "relieved" of his post as part of the shakeup, and Sultan's son Prince Khaled, the assistant defense minister and de facto head of the ministry for the past several years. Khaled, whose forces performed poorly during fighting along the Yemen border in 2009, must now settle for the position of deputy minister. The role of defense minister in Saudi Arabia is enormously powerful and, at least in the past, hugely rewarding on a personal level as well. Earnings from commissions on the many billions spent on arms contracts made Prince Sultan one of the richest people in the world -- wealth he reportedly shared generously with other princes, officials, and Saudi military officers.
