Graham-Goering Princely Power Jeanne De Penthièvre 2016.Pdf Negotiating princely power in late medieval France: Jeanne de Penthièvre, duchess of Brittany (c.1325–1384) Erika Maëlan Graham-Goering PhD University of York History April 2016 Abstract Jeanne de Penthièvre (r. 1341–1365) inherited the duchy of Brittany, but was challenged by her collateral relatives in a lengthy civil war and ultimately de- feated, though she remained politically active until her death. This thesis uses her career as a case study of the ways princely power was expressed and imple- mented in the fourteenth century, and includes a critical biography and an edition of the 1341 legal brief for her succession. It focuses especially on official records such as legal arguments, charters, orders, and seals, and incorporates the close reading of individual texts alongside broader linguistic and quantitative analyses. The high nobility of fourteenth-century France has been relatively underserved by this type of examination of the influences of rank, relationships, gender, and conflict within the focused context of an individual’s life, an approach which demonstrates the flexibility of non-royal political authority. Jeanne’s participa- tion across different areas of government (such as finances, bureaucracy, warfare, and diplomacy) reveals a variable balance of power between Jeanne and her hus- band as spouses and as co-rulers. The terms used to establish her power in the official acta suggest further that simple descriptions of power often used inmod- ern scholarship on noblewomen do not adequately characterize or explain late medieval views of these dynamics. The legal arguments advanced in defence of Jeanne’s claim to the duchy reveal disagreements about the technical relationship of the duke/duchess to the rest of Franco-Breton political society. Jeanne’s ability to assert her authority was particularly important in the contested circumstances of her rule, and her adherence to or deviation from contemporary expectations was important in establishing her legitimacy. Contemporary Breton and French chroniclers, particularly Froissart, complement this perspective with their reac- tions to her rule; Jeanne’s reputation was informed by the multilayered standards attached to her positions as heiress, wife, and duchess. 3 Contents Abstract 3 List of figures 7 Acknowledgements 8 Author’s declaration 10 Introduction 11 Part 1 The career of Jeanne de Penthièvre 34

I am grateful for the financial assistance I have received from the University of York, including the McCormack Research Fund and the James Jarvis Bursary, and from the Society for the Study of French History, including the Ralph Gibson Bursary, all of which have been instrumental in allowing me to pursue my studies over three and a half years and undertake research in archives across France. The National Archives at Kew also sponsored a week-long training programme which introduced me to the basics of archival work on medieval records. The libraries and librarians at the Universities of York, Leeds, Oxford (and in particular Jesus College), at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and at the Centre de recherche bretonne et celtique have been of great assistance in helping me acquire the books and articles needed in my research. My thanks go especially to the archives that have allowed me to consult their documents and their archivists: the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Archives nationales in Paris; the Archives départementales de Loire-Atlantique and the Médiathèque Jacques Démy in Nantes; and the Archives départementales des Côtes-d’Armor (Saint-Brieuc), des Pyrenées-Atlantiques (Pau), and d’Ille-et- Vilaine (Rennes). Craig Taylor has been my supervisor since I undertook my master’s disserta- tion, and it is only by his long and dedicated guidance that this PhD has been re- alized. He has helped me push my thinking in new directions and worked closely with me to improve my skills both as a researcher and as a teacher. His insight and patience while I have navigated the labyrinth of Jeanne’s career (and my own) have been immeasurably beneficial to me, and I would like to offer him my sincerest thanks. In addition, I am very grateful to the members of my thesis advisory panel, Mark Ormrod, Sarah Rees Jones, and Laura Crombie, for their incisive questions and feedback over the last three years. I have greatly benefited from the efforts and instruction of many other schol- ars over the course of my studies. I would particularly like to thank Michael Jones for his invaluable encouragement of

Since , Brittany was re-established as a Sovereign Duchy with somewhat definite borders, administered by Dukes of Breton houses from to , before falling into the sphere of influence of the Plantagenets and then the Capets. Saint-Brieuc Main article: Duchy of Brittany. In the camp was closed and the French military decided to incorporate the remaining 19, Breton soldiers into the 2nd Army of the Loire. In Vannes , there was an unfavorable attitude towards the Revolution with only of the city's population of 12, accepting the new constitution. Prieur sought to implement the authority of the Convention by arresting suspected counter-revolutionaries, removing the local authorities of Brittany, and making speeches. The rulers of Domnonia such as Conomor sought to expand their territory including holdings in British Devon and Cornwall , claiming overlordship over all Bretons, though there was constant tension between local lords. It is therefore a strategic choice as a case study of some of the processes associated with the emergence of mass tourism, and the effects of this kind of tourism development on local populations. The first unified Duchy of Brittany was founded by Nominoe. This book was the world's first trilingual dictionary, the first Breton dictionary and also the first French dictionary. However, he provides less extensive access to how ordinary Breton inhabitants participated in the making of Breton tourism. And herein lies the central dilemma that Young explores in this impressive, deeply researched study of the development of regional tourism in Brittany.

  • Authority, Reputation, and the Roles of Jeanne De Penthièvre in Book I of Froissart's Chroniques Journal of Medieval History
    Authority, reputation, and the roles of Jeanne de Penthièvre in Book I of Froissart’s Chroniques Journal of Medieval History (forthcoming 2019: accepted manuscript) Erika Graham-Goering Department of History, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium Abstract: This article examines how a medieval noblewoman’s positive reputation could be framed through different aspects of seigneurial power using a case study of Jeanne de Penthièvre and her war for the duchy of Brittany. Froissart wrote about Jeanne in the three main redactions of the first book of his Chroniques. However, he focused in the Amiens manuscript on her position as an heiress and the object of her followers’ loyalty, while the B text largely reduced her prominence but planted the seeds for the active military role Jeanne assumed in the Rome redaction. Such changes did not move strictly between more- or less- accurate reports, but engaged with different tropes that had also featured in the official portrayals of Jeanne during her lifetime. These parallel constructions of reputation reveal a plasticity to models of lordly authority even in rhetorical contexts more usually associated with formulaic and conventional representations of elite society. Article History: Received 16 May 2018. Accepted 5 July 2018. Keywords: Froissart, chronicle, reputation, rhetoric, Brittany, Jeanne de Penthievre, medieval women, lordship Rehabilitating the reputations of politically-active medieval women has meant that, in the past few decades, a growing body of scholarship has turned a much-needed critical eye to the process by which social mores, political interests, and iconic narratives could combine to create the ‘black legends’ that frequently transformed more-or-less typical noblewomen, and especially queens, into immoral caricatures.

FOREIGN INFLUENCES ON AND INNOVATION IN ENGLISH TOMB SCULPTURE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY by Nicola Jane Shilliam B.A. (Warwick) Ph.D. dissertation Warwick University History of Art September 1986 SUMMARY This study is an investigation of stylistic and iconographic innovation in English tomb sculpture from the accession of King Henry VIII through the first half of the sixteenth century, a period during which Tudor society and Tudor art were in transition as a result of greater interaction with continental Europe. The form of the tomb was moulded by contemporary cultural, temporal and spiritual innovations, as well as by the force of artistic personalities and the directives of patrons. Conversely, tomb sculpture is an inherently conservative art, and old traditions and practices were resistant to innovation. The early chapters examine different means of change as illustrated by a particular group of tombs. The most direct innovations were introduced by the royal tombs by Pietro Torrigiano in Westminster Abbey. The function of Italian merchants in England as intermediaries between Italian artists and English patrons is considered. Italian artists also introduced terracotta to England.

    Camino Chronicle Australian Friends of the Camino Newsletter No 8, March 2014 Page 1 AFotC Newsletter #8 March 2014 MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN As some of you are aware, I made a winter Camino over the recent Christmas period. This was very much a solitary journey. There were few pilgrims on the road, perhaps a dozen or so initially, increasing to about 30 by the time I got to Galicia. On my first night, at St Jean-Pied-de-Port, I shared the albergue with an Englishman, a South American, 2 Italians, 2 Koreans, as well as 6 Australians from Darwin. Along the way I continued to meet numerous Italians and many Koreans. But I also met more Australians at various points along the way, Jill (from Victoria) whom I had arranged to meet in Burgos before I left, being one. With so few pilgrims on the road I often walked for days on end without meeting anyone. With six weeks to complete the journey from St Jean to Santiago I could take my time, though my days were governed by what accommodation was avail- able. Being winter, many places were closed and often there was no choice as to where I could stay. I was blessed with a couple of weeks of mostly fine weather initially, though it was still very cold. The path was often frozen, making it easy to walk on the mud! A couple of months later and I suspect it would be a differ- ent story. Galicia though turned on the tap! Here the water just poured out of the hillsides.

Jones, Between France and England: Politics, Power and Society in Late Medieval Brittany (Variorum Collected Studies Series). Aldershot: Ashgate Publishing Limited, 2003. ix + 326 pp. Illustrations, maps, bibliographical references and index. $105.95 U.S. (hb). ISBN 0-86078-906-3. Review by Craig Taylor, University of York. Over the last thirty-five years, Michael Jones has established himself as a leading expert on Brittany, whose contributions to our understanding of this important region during the late medieval period are matched only by Jean Kerhevé. A collection of his essays was published in 1988 under the title The Creation of Brittany: A Late Medieval State (London: Hambledon Press, 1988), and this second volume reprints twelve articles published between 1986 and 2000, three of them translated into English for the first time. The first two articles situate Brittany within the wider context of French history. In “The Capetians and Brittany” (chapter two), Jones traces the long-history of Brittany from the ninth century through to the high Middle Ages, when the duchy accepted the overwhelming cultural forms of Capetian France, but administrative power was shared between the dukes and the crown (p. 16). His inaugural lecture, “Tradition, History and the French: A Case of Tunnel Vision” (chapter one), develops upon this point, emphasising that the creation of a powerful hereditary monarchy by the Capetians does not mean that we can, or should, understand the late medieval period solely through the lens provided by central government.

Sans doute, répond l’auteur parce que ce seigneur breton, dont la devise était « Pour ce qu’il me plest », n’a jamais été membre du conseil royal, ce qui ne justifie pas pour autant qu’on doive nécessairement l’écarter d’une telle analyse.
