Bouchard FAMILY STRUCTURE AND FAMILY CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG THE ARISTOCRACY IN THE NINTH TO ELEVENTH CENTURIES* There can be no question that the period from the ninth to eleventh centuries in westem Europe was one of political upheaval and change for the aristocracy. Charlemagne’s empire was invaded, fought over, divided into new kingdoms and principalities. Fief-holding, vassalage, and castles first became widespread. Even the sorts of men who wielded power changed as new lineages first of counts and then of castellans appeared and married into previously established lines1. This political change, it is generally agreed, was accompanied by some sort of change in the family structure of the aristocracy, but there has been a good deal of debate over exactly what this change entailed. In this paper, I shall reexamine the question of noble family structure in this period, trying first to define some of the parameters of the discussion and then making suggestions on the nature of the changes in family consciousness, suggestions quite different from the conclusions many have drawn in the last twenty-five years. I shall do so using concrete examples drawn from three different lineages or family groups.

  • 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.

    Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 1 ©2021 Adam Christopher Matthews All Rights Reserved 2 Abstract Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews With the collapse of the Visigothic kingdom, the judges of Catalonia and southern France worked to keep the region‘s traditional judicial system operable. Drawing on records of judicial proceedings and church dedications from the ninth century to the end of the eleventh, this dissertation explores how judges devised a liturgically-influenced court strategy to invigorate rulings. They transformed churches into courtrooms. In these spaces, changed by merit of the consecration rite, community awe for the power infused within sacred space could be utilized to achieve consensus around the legitimacy of dispute outcomes. At the height of a tribunal, judges brought litigants and witnesses to altars, believed to be thresholds of Heaven, and compelled them to authenticate their testimony before God and his saints. Thus, officials supplemented human means of enforcement with the supernatural powers permeating sanctuaries. This strategy constitutes a hybridization of codified law and the belief in churches as real sacred spaces, a conception that emerged from the Carolingian liturgical reforms of the ninth century. In practice, it provided courts with a means to enact the mandates from the Visigothic Code and to foster stability. The result was a flexible synthesis of law, liturgy, and sacred space that was in many cases capable of harnessing spiritual and community pressure in legal proceedings.

It was the only battle of a three-year civil war that left too many dead and the survivors, shattered. During this period of unrest, from 840-843, an aristocratic woman, Dhuoda, endured the most difficult years of her life. The loyalty of her absentee husband, Bernard of Septimania, was being questioned by one of the three kings fighting for an upper-hand in this bloody civil war. To ensure his loyalty, his and Dhuoda’s 14-year old son, William, was to be sent to King Charles the Bald as a hostage.

  • Carolingian Propaganda: Kingship by the Hand of God
    Isak M. C. Sexson Hist. 495 Senior Thesis Thesis Advisor: Martha Rampton April 24, 2000 Carolingian Propaganda: Kingship by the Hand of God Introduction and Thesis Topic: The Carolingians laid the foundation for their successful coup in 751 very carefully, using not only political and religious alliances, but also the written word to ensure a usurpation of Merovingian power. Up until, and even decades after Pippin III’s coup, the Carolingians used a written form of propaganda to solidify their claims to the throne and reinforce their already existent power base. One of the most successful, powerful and prominent features of the Carolingians’ propaganda campaign was their use of God and divine support. By divine support, I mean the Carolingians stressed their rightful place as rulers of Christiandom and were portrayed as both being aided in their actions by God and being virtuous and pious rulers. This strategy of claiming to fulfill Augustine’s vision of a “city of God” politically would eventually force the Carolingians into a tight corner during the troubled times of Louis the Pious. The Word Propaganda and Historiography: The word propaganda is a modern word which did not exist in Carolingian Europe. It carries powerful modern connotations and should not be applied lightly when discussing past documents without keeping its modern usage in mind at all times. As Hummel and Huntress note in their book The Analysis of Propaganda, “‘Propaganda’ is a 1 word of evil connotation . [and] the word has become a synonym for a lie.”1 In order to avoid the ‘evil connotations’ of modern propaganda in this paper I will limit my definition of propaganda to the intentional reproduction, distribution and exaggeration or fabrication of events in order to gain support.

  • From Imperator to Holy Crusader: a Historiography of the Charlemagne Legend
    The AlexAndriAn II, no. 1 (2013) From Imperator to Holy Crusader: A Historiography of the Charlemagne Legend Colby Turberville This article is a historiography of Charlemagne’s legend. It roughly covers between the late eighth century to the twelfth century. It focuses on various contributors to Charlemagne’s legend such as his contemporary courtiers, especially Einhard. It also pays close attention to the clerical backlash against Charlemagne during the reign of his son, Louis the Pious. This article shows how the diversification of Europe changed the legend of Charlemagne, and thus preserved it. Finally, this article ends by showing the power that Charlemagne’s image had accumulated as evidenced by its strong influence during the First Crusade. This article is, in short, an attempt to follow the developing image and legend of one of the most influential figures in European history and show that image’s influence on and connection with that history. Introduction The year 800 was a difficult time for the papacy. The constant threat from the Lombards to the north, the struggle for religious authority with the patriarch of Constantinople, and the political turmoil in the city of Rome itself were chief among the papacy's concerns. Political events in Rome culminated in November with Pope Leo III being beaten by political rivals. Badly injured, Leo escaped north into Frankish lands. Leo had escaped into Francia for obvious reasons. Charlemagne ruled there, and he was Leo's best political ally. Charlemagne was widely known as a successful warlord. He had conquered the ferocious Saxons, subdued the threatening Lombards, and taken on the Muslim threat in Spain.

  • The Personal and the Public in the Epitaphium Arsenii MAYKE DE JONG
    For God, king and country: the personal and the public in the Epitaphium Arsenii MAYKE DE JONG Paschasius Radbertus’s Epitaphium Arsenii is a lively and polemical dialogue that takes us straight into the controversies within the court-connected and competitive elite of the 850s. The latter’s membership, ecclesiastical as well as secular, measured each other against the yardstick of public service, and used failure to live up to this as a means of attack. On the one hand, the Epitaphium is a highly personal text, aimed at a restricted audience; on the other, it addresses the shared values of the Carolingian political leadership. This was not a world dominated by ‘the Church’, but one in which many ‘churches’ (monasteries) and their abbots actively participated in the political arena. The Epitaphium Arsenii is not for the fainthearted. It is a highly idiosyncratic and often polemical dialogue between three monks of Corbie, presented as a funeral oration (epitaph) for Charlemagne’s 1 cousin Wala, nicknamed ‘Arsenius’. Wala (d. 836) was a controversial 1 Paschasius Radbertus, Epitaphium Arsenii, ed. E.

  • 11 Map 1. the Counties of Late-Carolingian Catalonia
    11 Key: • city episcopal see — county boundary ····· pagus boundary approximate frontier Map 1. The Counties of Late-Carolingian Catalonia 12 Introduction Aims, Historiography and Method This thesis aims to answer, as fully as possible within the constraints of the evidence and of the limits of space, a set of important questions about the exercise and experience of power in one of the most peripheral areas of the Carolingian Empire. As Frankish royal power declined in the late-ninth and tenth centuries, the Spanish March of the Empire was, patriots argue, propelled unwillingly to independence.1 On the other hand, as a safe place for rebel Marquises since Bernard of Septimania, 2 an open frontier for expansion (if not, at this stage, outright conquest) and a zone where royal officials rarely went, 3 its effective independence was many years ahead of its eventual rejection of Capetian rule. 4 Whilst not cut off from the outside world by any means, those who held power in late-Carolingian Catalonia answered, with only the rarest exceptions, to local interests only. 5 Although their ultimate authority rested, 1 This is the key argument of R. d’Abadal i de Vinyals, Els Primers Comtes Catalans , Biografies Catalanes: sèrie històrica 1 (Barcelona 1958; 1980), which is still the best introduction to the area’s political history in this period, though see also J.

  • From Greek Herbals to Leek Plants
    Chapter 25 From Greek herbals to Leek Plants November 2002. One of a series of Chapters by Dr. John S. Plant, Keele University, England, ST5 5BG. FROM CELTS AND PLANTARDS TO PLANTAGENETS AND LEEK PLANTS1 arly Plant-like names may be related to sense found in Greek herbals and to a subsequent “Merovingian E culture”. Also Celtic traditions, assimilated into early Christian teachings, may be traced through to late medieval times. Such medieval considerations, for the formative meanings of Plant-like names, seem at least as important as sense derived from modern French and English meanings to the words. Though ideally the initial DNA evidence should be checked, by measuring more DNA markers, the evidence already casts doubt on an idea that Plant originated as a widely spread occupational name. Instead, the DNA evidence supports surviving documentary evidence that an early single-family Plant homeland was near “Celtic” Wales. Early documentary evidence of Plants elsewhere, however, suggests that the Plants were more than an immobile single family. Further DNA testing is relevant, not least for the important French and English name Planta- genet. A strict consideration of the medieval evidence for the Plantagenet name is included in this Chapter as well as later records for Plant in its evident Leek homeland. 25.1 Diverse views on the meanings of Plant-like names n discussions of the previous Chapters, three main strands can be identified in unraveling meanings for Plant-like names. There is (1) commonly supposed sense as a ‘gardener’, (2) more esoteric ‘soul implant’ sense relating to a ‘progeny’ or ‘child’ meaning of the Welsh or archaic English word plant, and (3) sense of influence from the historically important names Plantard and Plantagenet.

  • Plantevelu and the Meaning of Plant
    Chapter 26 Plantevelu and the meaning of Plant May 2003. One of a series of Chapters by Dr. John S. Plant, Keele University, England, ST5 5BG. THE DESCENT OF AN EARLY PLANT-LIKE NAME1 AND THE SEMANTICS2 OF SIMILAR NAMES he earliest known evidence for a Plant-like name can be taken to be that of the 9th century founder of a T new Duchy of Aquitaine (SW France), Bernard Plantevelu. There is some controversy about his descent with, for example, two different schemes tracing it back to the Merovingian king Dagobert II. One of these schemes relates to the name Plantard, which can mean an ‘ardent scion’ or, in Breton, an ‘implant of art or skill’. Such suppositions of early origins for Plantard have met with scepticism. Leaving Plantard aside there may have been, nonetheless, developing ideas about virtue and generation which seem likely to have influenced the onomastics of Plantevelu continuing on through Plantagenet to the east Cheshire Plants. Salient sense for Plante-, as a compositional constituent of Plantevelu and Plantagenet, can be found in Latin, Old French, and Middle English yielding a meaning ‘a descended and implanted vertue’. It seems unnecessary to suppose a metonymic extension of the meaning of the Plant surname to a ‘gardener’ since, when allowance is made for medieval autohyponymy, a more tightly-linked concept can be seen to be ‘a descended soul, descendant, or child’ in keeping with the Latin etymology of plant meaning ‘children’ in Welsh. 26.1 The medieval descent of Bernard Plantevelu he medieval descent of Bernard Plantevelu (ca 830 - 17.8.886) is subject to various schemes.
