  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

    ACTA BALCANO-HUNGARICA 1. 1 “These were hard times for Skanderbeg, but he had an ally, the Hungarian Hunyadi” Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts It is of inestimable significance for Albanian studies in Hungary that the Hungarian Academy of Sciences has had the opportunity to produce and publish Edited by the present book which constitutes a Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics major contribution towards enabling this book to serve as a kind of third volume of Illyrisch-Albanische Forschungen (1916). Although there has been no organized Albanian research in Hungary, the chapters in this book clearly demonstrate that researchers well versed in the various historical periods have engaged in a joint investigation of the Albanian–Hungarian past. The studies reveal new research findings, many of which will cause a sensation in the world of Albanian studies. The book is a distillation of con tem- porary Hungarian work on Albanian Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts studies and also a salute by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian ISBN 978-963-416-184-4 Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to the joint Albanian–Hungarian and Austro–Hungarian past. 9 789634 161844 albán1.indd 1 7/30/2019 2:05:25 PM “These were hard times for Skanderbeg, but he had an ally, the Hungarian Hunyadi” Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts Acta Balcano-Hungarica 1. ※ Series managing editors: Pál Fodor and Antal Molnár Series editor: Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics Hungarian Academy of Sciences Research Centre for the Humanities

  • Fiscal States, Composite Monarchies and Political Economies. a View from the Spanish Empire (C.1492-C.1650) Bartolomé Yun Casa
    Fiscal states, composite monarchies and political economies. A view from the Spanish empire (c.1492-c.1650) Bartolomé Yun Casalilla Pablo de Olavide University [email protected] [email protected] Paris, February 2016 Paris School of Economics Séminaires d‘Histoire économique (Please do not quote without permission) 1 During the last decades a good number of historians are putting together the three concepts heading the title of this talk. Possibly some of them do it unconsciously (or un-properly, if you like), but that is an excellent reason to reflect on the subject in an explicit way. The relationship between the fiscal state and its political economy is almost automatic. Not because they are the same, but because, from the perspective of studies of the political economy and, more specifically, from the new institutional economics‘ approach, the fiscal skeletons of Old Regime states are crucial components of the institutional system as a whole. The other binomial -- that of the composite monarchy and fiscal state-- seems to be less immediate. This may be the reason why it has fostered (rather nonsense) discussions about authorship. I would like to discuss here some of the different links among this trio, which I think are crucial to understand old regime societies and some quite often forgotten questions. Most of my reasoning, as well as the empirical base for some of my proposals were already in my book Marte contra Minerva, which came out in 2004, and a good deal of it is crucial to a forthcoming volume, whose provisional title is The Iberian World.

  • 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia
    Madis Maasing 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia 17.1 Introduction At the beginning of the sixteenth century, political rhetoric in Livonia was shaped by the threat posed by an alien power: Following a significant deterio- ration in the relations between the Catholic Livonian territories and their mighty Eastern Orthodox neighbour – the Grand Duchy of Moscow – war broke out, lasting from 1501 to 1503, with renewed armed conflict remaining an immi- nent threat until 1509. During this period of confrontation, and afterwards, the Livonians (i.e., the political elite of Livonia) fulminated in their political writ- ings about the gruesome, schismatic, and even infidel Russians, who posed a threat not only to Livonia, but to Western Christendom in general. In the Holy Roman Empire and at the Roman Curia, these allegations were quite favoura- bly received. Arguably, the Livonians’ greatest success took the form of a papal provision for two financially profitable anti-Russian indulgence campaigns (1503–1510). For various political reasons, the motif of a permanent and general ‘Russian threat’ had ongoing currency in Livonia up until the Livonian War (1558–1583). Even after the collapse of the Livonian territories, the Russian threat motif continued to be quite effectively used by other adversaries of Mos- cow – e.g., Poland-Lithuania and Sweden. I will focus here first and foremost on what was behind the initial success of the Russian threat motif in Livonia, but I will also address why it persisted for as long as it did. A large part of its success was the fact that it drew upon a similar phenomenon – the ‘Turkish threat’,1 which played a significant role in the political rhetoric of Early Modern Europe, especially in south-eastern 1 This research was supported by the Estonian Research Council’s PUT 107 programme, “Me- dieval Livonia: European Periphery and its Centres (Twelfth–Sixteenth Centuries)”, and by the European Social Fund’s Doctoral Studies and Internationalization Programme DoRa, which is carried out by Foundation Archimedes.

  • De Spaanse Successieoorlog En De Slag Bij Oudenaarde (11 Juli 1708)
    — 23 — Frederik Dhondt De Spaanse Successieoorlog en de slag bij Oudenaarde (11 juli 1708) VOORWOORD De Slag bij Oudenaarde openbaarde zich voor het eerst een tiental jaar geleden toen ik bij toeval het eindwerk van Edwin De Lombaerde uit de jaren ’70 in handen kreeg. Dat een gebeurtenis van dergelijke omvang zich had voorgedaan op nauwelijks vijf minuten met de fiets van bij mij thuis frappeerde me enorm, alsook het besef dat ik er bijna niets over wist. Alhoewel de Slag in een internationaal conflict met enige envergure kaderde, bleek de herinnering in de streek danig vervaagd. Sterker nog, je kon op het –nagenoeg intacte– slagveld bijna niets terugvinden over de clash tussen het leger van Lodewijk XIV en de Haagse Alliantie. Gefascineerd door het onderwerp wijdde ik er in het laatste jaar van mijn humaniora aan het Sint-Bernarduscollege mijn eindwerk aan, onder het promotorschap van dhr. Dirk Passchyn. Hierbij werd ik geholpen door de aanwijzingen van Dr. Martine Vermeiren-Vanwelden, die me mijn eerste stapjes in het stadsarchief en door de wirwar aan historische bibliothe- ken hielp zetten en daarin zeker voor een stuk wijlen mijn vader, Dr. Luc Dhondt, wist te vervangen. Op die manier kon ik mijn weg vinden naar de verborgen schatten in de literatuur en de talrijke bronnenuitgaven over de Slag bij Oudenaarde. Niet alleen geschreven, maar ook beeldend materiaal kwam boven. Zo ving ik in de collecties van kunstverzamelaars uit de streek en in catalogi en musea in het buitenland een glimp op van de ontzaglijke hoeveelheid 18de-eeuwse propaganda rond de wapenfeiten van Marlborough en Eugenius.
