  • The Dutch Poet Elisabeth Hoofman and Her German Patrons
    Chapter 6 Possibilities of Patronage: The Dutch Poet Elisabeth Hoofman and Her German Patrons Nina Geerdink Patronage was a common practice for many early modern authors, but it was a public activity involving engagement with politics, pol- iticians and the rich and famous, and we know of relatively few women writers who profited from the benefits of patronage. The system of patronage altered, however, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and one particular case study brings to light some of the possibilities and difficulties of this system for women writers. Elisabeth Hoofman (1664– 1736) was a Dutch poet whose authorship was representative of that of many writing women around 1700: born in a rich family, she wrote poetry in order to establish and consolidate contacts in a wealthy circle of friends and family, refusing to publish any of her poems. Her authorship status seems to have changed, though, after she and her husband lost their fortune and turned to rich patrons to secure their living. The circle of people addressed in her poetry broadened to power- ful men from outside of her intimate network and she started to print- publish. In this chapter, Hoofman’s opportunities to contrib- ute to the family income as a woman writer along with her abili- ty and necessity to manage her reputation are analysed with and through her poetry. ∵ Traditionally, Renaissance literary patronage has been regarded as a relation- ship between authors and patrons within the context of court culture. Pa- tronised authors received pensions for their poetic work, which they could produce relatively autonomously, as long as their literary reputation reflect- ed on the court and its ruler(s), and as long as their literary products could on occasion be used to amuse these ruler(s) and their guests.

  • The Self-Perception of Chronic Physical Incapacity Among the Labouring Poor
    THE SELF-PERCEPTION OF CHRONIC PHYSICAL INCAPACITY AMONG THE LABOURING POOR. PAUPER NARRATIVES AND TERRITORIAL HOSPITALS IN EARLY MODERN RURAL GERMANY. BY LOUISE MARSHA GRAY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London. University College, London 2001 * 1W ) 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the experiences of the labouring poor who were suffering from chronic physical illnesses in the early modern period. Despite the popularity of institutional history among medical historians, the experiences of the sick poor themselves have hitherto been sorely neglected. Research into the motivation of the sick poor to petition for a place in a hospital to date has stemmed from a reliance upon administrative or statistical sources, such as patient lists. An over-reliance upon such documentation omits an awareness of the 'voice of the poor', and of their experiences of the realities of living with a chronic ailment. Research focusing upon the early modern period has been largely silent with regards to the specific ways in which a prospective patient viewed a hospital, and to the point in a sick person's life in which they would apply for admission into such an institution. This thesis hopes to rectif,r such a bias. Research for this thesis has centred on surviving pauper petitions, written by and on behalf of the rural labouring poor who sought admission into two territorial hospitals in Hesse, Germany. This study will examine the establishment of these hospitals at the onset of the Reformation, and will chart their history throughout the early modern period. Bureaucratic and administrative documentation will be contrasted to the pauper petitions to gain a wider and more nuanced view of the place of these hospitals within society.

  • Volume 1. from the Reformation to the Thirty Years War, 1500-1648 Protestant Resistance – the Schmalkaldic League (1531/35)
    Volume 1. From the Reformation to the Thirty Years War, 1500-1648 Protestant Resistance – The Schmalkaldic League (1531/35) Since the time of the Peasants’ War, the evangelical princes and city regimes had talked about forming a defensive military league to protect themselves, their lands, and their cities in the event that the Edict of Worms (which forbade their religion) were imposed on them by force. Early efforts failed because the leading southern cities refused to enter into an alliance with the princes, and, more importantly, because the evangelical party was split between the followers of Luther, on the one hand, and Zwingli, on the other, over the meaning of the Lord's Supper (Eucharist). But on April 19, 1529, the estates did in fact come together to protest the Diet of Speyer’s decision to enforce the Edict of Worms, and it was at this gathering that the name “Protestant” was born. Still, the intra-evangelical doctrinal dispute prevented the formation of an alliance for another eighteen months. After the Diet of Augsburg (1530) failed to reconcile the Catholic and evangelical parties of the Diet, the Saxon elector called the Protestant estates to a meeting in the small town of Schmalkalden in December 1530. There, under the leadership of the Saxon elector and Landgrave Philip of Hesse, an agreement was made; a related treaty was approved at a second meeting in February 1531 (A). On December 23, 1535, nearly five years later, twenty-three estates approved the constitution of the Schmalkaldic League (B). The constitution makes clear that the alliance, unprecedented in its geographical scope, nonetheless conformed in its political and military institutions to the customs of the German federations.

  • Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations
    Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations Jonas A. M. van Tol Doctor of Philosophy University of York History February 2016 Abstract From its inception, the French Wars of Religion was a European phenomenon. The internationality of the conflict is most clearly illustrated by the Protestant princes who engaged militarily in France between 1567 and 1569. Due to the historiographical convention of approaching the French Wars of Religion as a national event, studied almost entirely separate from the history of the German Reformation, its transnational dimension has largely been ignored or misinterpreted. Using ten German Protestant princes as a case study, this thesis investigates the variety of factors that shaped German understandings of the French Wars of Religion and by extension German involvement in France. The princes’ rich and international network of correspondence together with the many German-language pamphlets about the Wars in France provide an insight into the ways in which the conflict was explained, debated, and interpreted. Applying a transnational interpretive framework, this thesis unravels the complex interplay between the personal, local, national, and international influences that together formed an individual’s understanding of the Wars of Religion. These interpretations were rooted in the longstanding personal and cultural connections between France and the Rhineland and strongly influenced by French diplomacy and propaganda. Moreover, they were conditioned by one’s precise position in a number of key religious debates, most notably the question of Lutheran-Reformed relations. These understandings changed as a result of a number pivotal European events that took place in 1566 and 1567 and the conspiracy theories they inspired.

  • BOUNDARY CHANGES Larry O
    BOUNDARY CHANGES Larry O. Jensen P. O. Box 441, Pleasant Grove, UT 84062 Over the centuries, locality jurisdictions changed in size and in jurisdictional levels. Many of the areas began as ecclesiastical districts such as dioceses or archdioceses and then changed to a nobility jurisdiction such as “Grafschaft” (county) which was ruled over by a “Graf” or count. Some evolved from a regular “Herzogtum” (duchy) to a “Grossherzogtum” (grand duchy) which Baden and Mecklenburg did. Other areas like Bavaria and Württemberg went from being duchies to kingdoms when their rulers were raised from dukes to kings. The following list identifies some of these ecclesiastical and nobility levels: Bistum diocese König king Burgraf burgrave Königreich kingdom Erzbistum archdiocese Kurfürst elector Erzherzogtum archduchy Kurfürstentum electorate Fürst prince Landgraf landgrave Fürstentum principality Landgrafschaft landgravate Graf count Mark march or borderland Grafschaft county, shire Markgraf margrave Großfürstentum grand principality Markgrafschaft margravate or Großherzogtum grand duchy margraviate Herrschaft domain Propst provost Herzog duke Probstei diocese Herzogtum duchy Provinz province Kanton canton, district It is very important to know the histories of the areas of Germany your ancestors were from. Different records may have been kept for these areas during the time period they existed. For example, if you looked under “Hannover” in the Salt Lake City, Utah Genealogy Library=s Catalog you would be given the following four choices: 1. Germany, Preußen, Hannover 2. Germany, Preußen, Hannover, Hannover 3. Germany, Preußen, Hannover (Königreich) 4. Germany, Preußen, Hannover (Kurfürstentum) The four possibilities represent the following four different jurisdictions: 1. This choice would identify those records that the Library has acquired for Hannover when it was a province in the kingdom of Prussia (1866-1945).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 20 October 2010 Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I would like to speak to you about one of the women of the Middle Ages who inspired the greatest admiration; she is St Elizabeth of Hungary, also called St Elizabeth of Thuringia. Elizabeth was born in 1207; historians dispute her birthplace. Her father was Andrew ii, the rich and powerful King of Hungary. To reinforce political ties he had married the German Countess Gertrude of Andechs-Meran, sister of St Hedwig who was wife to the Duke of Silesia. Elizabeth, together with her sister and three brothers, spent only the first four years of her childhood at the Hungarian court. She liked playing, music and dancing; she recited her prayers faithfully and already showed special attention to the poor, whom she helped with a kind word or an affectionate gesture. Her happy childhood was suddenly interrupted when some knights arrived from distant Thuringia to escort her to her new residence in Central Germany. In fact, complying with the customs of that time, Elizabeth's father had arranged for her to become a Princess of Thuringia. The Landgrave or Count of this region was one of the richest and most influential sovereigns in Europe at the beginning of the 13th century and his castle was a centre of magnificence and culture. 2 However, the festivities and apparent glory concealed the ambition of feudal princes who were frequently warring with each other and in conflict with the royal and imperial authorities.

The Arsenal of Protestantism 163 Bibliographical References 179 Index 183 PREFACE The brief period between 1559 and 1562, interlacing the reigns of Henry II and of two of his sons, Francis II and Charles IX, was momentous in the history of French " Protestantism. Consequently studies in diplomacy and la " haute politique of that epoch of four years have been vigorously pursued, but the social and economic questions have been inadequately treated. Indeed, much of the real nature of the reign of Henry II and of the growth of the Reform during his incumbency is obscure. Nothing like " " (lie Catalogue des Actes du roi Frangois Ier as yet exists for the reign of Henry II. Therefore it has seemed to the writer eminently desirable to begin an investigation of the development of Protestantism through the operation of social and economic forces, particularly among the indus trial and working classes. The economic activity of the Huguenots reveals one of the aspects of their social life, and their commerce forms one of the great chapters in world history.
