  • Was the Bohemian Reformation a Failure?
    Was the Bohemian Reformation a Failure? Phillip Haberkern (Boston) Introduction Among the twenty monumental canvases that comprise Alfons Mucha’s Slav Epic, one stands out for its decidedly funereal tone.1 In the centre of the mas- sive painting, an elderly man is depicted slumped over in a chair, gazing at the slate gray North Sea off the coast of Naarden, a town in the Netherlands. In the left foreground of the picture, a huddled group of refugees is presided over by a man standing with his arms raised and head bowed, as if in prayer. The composition is bookended by two bedraggled strings of people walking towards the centre of the frame. Dark clouds threaten overhead, and a few windblown clumps of seagrass represent the only signs of life. The title of the painting is The Last Days of Jan Amos Komenský, and it depicts the final resting place of the last bishop of the Czech Unity of Brethren. Symbolically speaking, though, the scene portrayed in this canvas seems to represent the burial plot of the entire Bohemian reformation. Amidst all the visible markers of desolation that populate this canvas, how- ever, there is a small, lit lantern visible to the left of the seated Komenský. A few crouching individuals are turned towards it, and this source of light provides the painting with its subtitle: A Flicker of Hope. At first glance, this subtitle seems paradoxical, as the broken man and his followers seem entirely bereft of this cardinal virtue. The emphasis on hope, however, reflects an interpreta- tion of the Bohemian reformation and its ostensible end in the aftermath of the Battle of White Mountain that was quite characteristic of Czech culture at the turn of the twentieth century.

  • Politics and the Councils of the Fifteenth Century
    CCHA Study Sessions, 36(1969), 41-55 Politics and the Councils of the Fifteenth Century by C. M. D. CROWDER Queen’s University Much, perhaps too much, of my theme will be illustrated from the Council of Constance. Of the six general councils of the Church in the first half of the fifteenth century, which are familiar to English-speaking historians as the conciliar movement, it is neither the first, the longest, nor the last; but it is the most significant.1 It is also the one known best to me. One of the most spirited contemporary accounts of this council was written by a citizen of Constance, Ulrich of Richenthal; and one of the most spirited illustrations of the manuscript of Ulrich’s chronicle which is still preserved in Constance shows Pope John XXIII being thrown from a cart (hardly to be dignified as a carriage) as he crossed the Alps from Italy.2 The illustrator knew what John XXIII only suspected: that the Pope was riding for a fall. The incident was no more than a traveller’s hazard, but it gains a symbolic value from the decision of Cardinal Roncalli nearly five hundred and fifty years later, when he in his turn was elected successor of St. Peter, 1 The Roman Catholic Church recognizes 21 oecumenical councils, New Catholic Encyclopaedia, V, New York, 1967, p. 376, H.

Two of these are among the councils of the first half of the fifteenth century: Constance, 1414-18 and Ferrara-Florence, 1438-c.

  • The Condition of the Working-Class in England, 1209-20031
    The Condition of the Working-Class in England, 1 1209-2003 Gregory Clark Department of Economics UC-Davis, Davis CA 95616 [email protected] The paper estimates both the real wages of male building craftsmen and laborers in England for 1209-2003, and the wage premium associated with skills. These estimates have implications for our understanding of both the Malthusian era, and of the Industrial Revolution. They reveal, for example, that from 1200 until 1800 there was no trend increase in real wages, even though by 1800 English workers were probably the best paid in the world. There was a period of as long as 350 years with no evidence of TFP growth. But they also imply that modern economic growth, fuelled by productivity advance, probably began in the seventeenth century before the institutional reforms of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Finally these estimates suggest that human capital interpretations of the Industrial Revolution, formalized by Becker et al. (1990), Galor and Weil (2000) and Lucas (2002), as presently constructed, conflict with the empirical record. Human capital accumulation in England began in an era when the market rewards to skill acquisition had fallen substantially from their medieval peak. Introduction Pre-industrial England has a uniquely well documented wage and price history. The stability of English institutions after 1066, and the early development of monetary exchange, allowed a large number of documents with wages and prices to survive in the records of churches, monasteries, colleges, craft guilds, charities, and local and national governments. This 1 The author owes an enormous debt to the many transcribers and compilers of English wage data, some of whom are listed below in footnote 2.

  • Reconstruction Or Reformation the Conciliar Papacy and Jan Hus of Bohemia
    Garcia 1 RECONSTRUCTION OR REFORMATION THE CONCILIAR PAPACY AND JAN HUS OF BOHEMIA Franky Garcia HY 490 Dr. Andy Dunar 15 March 2012 Garcia 2 The declining institution of the Church quashed the Hussite Heresy through a radical self-reconstruction led by the conciliar reformers. The Roman Church of the late Middle Ages was in a state of decline after years of dealing with heresy. While the Papacy had grown in power through the Middle Ages, after it fought the crusades it lost its authority over the temporal leaders in Europe. Once there was no papal banner for troops to march behind to faraway lands, European rulers began fighting among themselves. This led to the Great Schism of 1378, in which different rulers in Europe elected different popes. Before the schism ended in 1417, there were three popes holding support from various European monarchs. Thus, when a new reform movement led by Jan Hus of Bohemia arose at the beginning of the fifteenth century, the declining Church was at odds over how to deal with it. The Church had been able to deal ecumenically (or in a religiously unified way) with reforms in the past, but its weakened state after the crusades made ecumenism too great a risk. Instead, the Church took a repressive approach to the situation. Bohemia was a land stained with a history of heresy, and to let Hus's reform go unchecked might allow for a heretical movement on a scale that surpassed even the Cathars of southern France. Therefore the Church, under guidance of Pope John XXIII and Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxemburg, convened in the Council of Constance in 1414.

Other editions. As a member of the powerful House of Neville , she played a critical part in the Wars of the Roses fought between the House of York and House of Lancaster for the English crown. I enjoyed all the drama that took place but I disliked the lack of a lesson, when reading a book I want to be left with a life lesson and I did not find one within this novel. While telling her story Anne notes that Middleham is where she feels at home and was most happy. She proves she can do this during a spell were Anne winds up in a cookshop. The reigning king Edward dies and Richard is to raise and guide Edward's son, Edward on the throne. Richard the Third. Anne was on good terms with her mother-in-law Cecily Neville, Duchess of York , with whom she discussed religious works, such as the writings of Mechtilde of Hackeborn.
