There are strong exceptions to Orr’s conclusion, including the works of Jeroen Duidam and T.C.W.

  • Matrimony and Monarchy: the Failure of Bourbon-Habsburg Matrimonial Alliance
    Matrimony and Monarchy: The Failure of Bourbon-Habsburg Matrimonial Alliance Dr Samra Sarfraz Khan* Irum Iqbal Hussain** Abstract The research paper titled “Matrimony and Monarchy: The Failure of Bourbon-Habsburg Matrimonial Alliance,” is an in depth study of the matrimonial alliance between the Bourbon and Habsburg dynasties through the marriage of Louis XIV; the King of France, with the Spanish hieress Maria Theresa. This matrimonial alliance, which was arranged to start a new era of Franco-Spanish relations in the seventeenth century, was one of the many similar examples that had been followed in state craft from the earliest times. The paper serves a two-fold purpose: to bring to light the unsuccessful nature of this marriage, and to probe the various reasons for which the alliance was a failure in the very quintessence of a marriage. The paper highlights the factors that contributed in not only keeping the matrimonial alliance into a contentious relationship between Maria Theresa and Louis XIV but also in causing a decline in the political ties between the French and Spanish kingdoms. The research paper, thus, caters to an aspect in the study of matrimonial alliances that remains largely unexplored. Keywords: Matrimonial alliance, Bourbon, Hapsburg, monarch, expansion. * Samra Sarfraz Khan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of History, University of Karachi ** Irum Iqbal Hussain, Graduate Student, Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS), UK 15 Jhss, Vol. 10, No. 2, July to December, 2019 Introduction The matrimonial alliance of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa was one in a series of similar state alliances that took place between the Bourbon and Habsburg royal families in their days of glory days.

This broader picture of court politics and diplomatic networks – which also relied on familial and kin ties – provides a way of studying the political role of women in early modern Europe. This role has to be studied taking into account the overlapping of familial and political concerns, where the intersection of women as mediators and coordinators of extended networks is a central feature of European societies.

  • Louis XIV (1624–1715)
    Louis XIV (1624–1715) As ruler of France for 72 years, Louis XIV had a tremendous impact on his nation’s domestic institutions. Remembered for his probably apocryphal assertion, “I am the state,” Louis oversaw an absolutist regime that was the envy of monarchs across the continent, many of whom sought to emulate the French king. His ambitions also sparked an almost continual series of wars beginning in the 1660s and lasting almost to his death in 1715. What policies did Louis XIV implement in order to strengthen the absolutist state? What were his major foreign policy goals? * * * * * The child destined to raise French absolutism to its pinnacle was born in 1638 to parents who cared little for one another. Louis XIII and Anne of Austria had been wed largely out of diplomatic considerations and nurtured a mutual detestation for each other in the twenty-three years of marriage that preceded the birth of their son Louis. Since the mid-1620s, Louis XIII and his powerful chief minister Cardinal Richelieu had striven to lay the foundations for an absolutist Bourbon monarchy. The Cardinal’s death in 1642 presaged the death of the king by only a year, and as Louis was only five years old, Anne ruled as regent with the assistance of yet another powerful cleric, Cardinal Mazarin. Though Mazarin assumed responsibility for the education of the future king, Louis was ill served by his tutors and matured with only a marginal familiarity with most subjects. Both contemporary and modern commentators have noted that the one area the otherwise lackadaisical Louis excelled in as a pupil was in his understanding of political power and how it was effectively exercised.

  • Château De Versailles Spectacles Celebrates the Opéra Royal De Versailles’ 250Th Anniversary
    Château de Versailles Spectacles celebrates the Opéra Royal de Versailles’ 250th Anniversary 1770 – 2020 Marie-Antoinette Ballet (© Olivier Houeix) “The world is full of magnificent opera houses built to impress, but the Opéra Royal de Versailles may just trump the lot.” Opera Now Château de Versailles Spectacles announces a new season celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Opéra Royal, inaugurated during the 1770 wedding feasts of Louis XVI to Marie-Antoinette, and the 350th anniversary of the Parisian Académie Royale de Musique, founded by Louis XIV in 1669. Highlights of the 2019-2020 season include a new production of Grétry’s Richard Cœur de Lion and the first contemporary opera to be mounted on the Opéra Royal’s stage: John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles. The 19-20 season opens on 10 October with a new production of André Grétry’s 1785 Richard Cœur de Lion (Richard the Lionheart). The seldom-performed work is presented in Versailles for the first time since it became the catalyst for the dawn of the French Revolution as the rousing anthem “O Richard, O mon Roi” was sung by royalist officers at a garish banquet in October 1789. This was the last event held in the Opéra Royal during the Ancien Régime: three days later, Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette left Versailles, never to return. Grétry’s opera is based on the legend of the captive King Richard and his rescue by the troubadour Blondel. Schemes of love and politics interweave as a loyal countess and exiles seek to besiege the castle and free the King.

It would be absurd to suppose that a History of Germany could be written within the compass of 300 pages. The merest outline is all that could be given in this little book, and very much of vast interest and im- portance has necessarily been omitted. But some knowledge of the political events of former days is necessary for all persons—more especially trav- ellers—who desire to understand and appreciate the customs, buildings, paintings, etc., of any country, and it is hoped that short continental histories may be useful to many who have not time or opportunity for closer study. My aim in the present volume has been simply to give one marked characteristic of each King or Emperor's reign, so as to fix it in the memory; and to show how Prussia came to hold its present position of importance amongst the continental powers of Europe. Emily Hawtrey. iiL BOOK I. HISTORY OF GERMANY. INTRODUCTION. CHAPTER I. The mighty Teutonic or German race in Europe did not begin to play its part in history until the decline of the Roman Empire ; but we must all of us feel the warm- est interest in it when it does begin, for it represents not only the central history of Europe in the Middle Ages, but also the rise of our own forefathers in their home and birthplace of Germany.

  • Christopher Columbus a Greek Nobleman
    CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS A GREEK NOBLEMAN © James L. Marketos 2008 A Lecture Presented to the Hellenic Society “Prometheas” Friday, October 3, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. St. George Greek Orthodox Church, Founders Hall 7701 Bradley Boulevard, Bethesda, Maryland 20817 Introduction When I was young, I could count on an argument with my father every year right around this time -- around Columbus Day. I would insist that Christopher Columbus was Italian -- Genoese to be precise -- as I had been taught in school. My father would smile and respond, “No, he was Greek.” I would roll my eyes, thinking this was just another example of ardent Greek chauvinism. “And I’ve got the book to prove it,” he would continue, pointing to a blue-covered book high on a shelf. That book came to me after my father died. And last year, around Columbus Day, I decided to find out what my father had been talking about. So I pulled the book off the shelf and, rather skeptically, began to read it. I simply could not 2 put it down; and when I was finished it completely changed my thinking about Christopher Columbus. This evening, I would like to bring that book and its thesis to your attention, and reconsider with you the possibility that Columbus was in fact Greek. It turns out that we know precious little about Columbus before he “sailed the ocean blue in 1492.” There is very little documentary evidence about him before about 1476, when he says he arrived in Portugal. And Columbus was cryptic about his origins -- some say purposely.
