No road travelled is always full of light, for most of times the brightest beam is found while stumbling through the darkness. It is the journey that truly matters not your destination and a new beginning always starts at the end. In truth, this work is a product of countless hours of procrastination and despair mixed up with mental resilience, determination and inner strength. Losing faith makes a crime and far too many times I lost hope and inspiration writing this work due to countless adversities. But I was fortunate to have incredible people who walked at my side, urging me forward, whether it was with a simple suggestion, a kind word, an incentive talk, a leaning shoulder, or loving arms when I was faithless. Our paths are ours to walk alone but I do not mind to walk alongside these wonderful souls. This work would not have been possible without you so I salute myself and you as well. I express my thanks firstly to my mentor and professor Ana Maria Rodrigues for her wisdom, patience and understanding, but also for the trust she put in my capabilities in pulling this off. Without her guidance and knowledge this project would have died without even having begun. Everyone we encounter during the course of our lives teach us something. Some stay, others part, but the memories we make and the experiences we have help us grow and mature as individuals. Thus to the colleagues and professors (too many names to write it down!), I had the opportunity to meet during academic courses, a big thank you. You gave me more than you will ever know. 3 To my professor and friend Francisco Carromeu, (the first person to tell me straightforwardly “if your passion is History, just follow it!”), your energetic personality, extensive knowledge on several topics and way of teaching turned every history into a story. My mind drank from your teachings and gave me courage to pursue this field of study, though I will permanently remember what you shouted after I had enrolled at the university – “Congratulations! Will it bring food to your plate?”. I do not know at this stage yet professor, but I am willing to find out! There is magic when we believe in the power of dreams. But sometimes we can only begin to believe we can do “six impossible things before breakfast” when someone reminds us to chase them down, no matter how hard it may seem. To my professor Angélica Varandas, I want to express my appreciation for her role in my life, not just the academic life, but personal as well. You have become a friend to me, my “celtic mother”, and I will be forever grateful and proud that our paths have crossed. Your friendly ear and advices mean the world to me. Finally, to those who are dear to me, to my friends. We have come a long way. You always hear me going on and on about how words are my weapon and my curse, how you can only see the “real” me when I write. Now they falter, for no words can express how much your love and companionship were and are important to me. Only one word can convey what we are - “Always”… Lastly, to my parents, who are my beacons and support me in whatever road I travel on. Thank you so much for reminding me of who I am in times when I cannot find myself, for encouraging and giving me sometimes a much needed head-butt (and the “angry talk”!). I know you only want what is best. “Do whatever makes you happy”. I know I will always have a home in your loving arms no matter what happens. I am proud to be your daughter. This work is also for you. 4 Resumo Durante a Idade Média, o papel e poder da mulher como rainha não é só ambíguo e limitado mas também em permanente fluxo de transformação. Para rainhas do século XI e XII, como Emma da Normandia (Emma Ælgifu), Urraca de Leão e Castela e Teresa de Portugal, a afirmação do seu status, tanto real como social, dependia, não só da sua identidade como individuo consagrado e detentor de um cargo, mas também do ofício desempenhado ao lado do elemento masculino. Os mecanismos regentes visavam, em última instância, uma partilha de poder e, porém, os percursos de vida de Emma, Urraca e Teresa e as acções tomadas pelas mesmas afirmaram-nas como autoridades individuais, gerando conflito com o entendimento intelectual e governativo na época, de maioria (se não inteiramente) masculina. Dificuldades de análise e a multiplicidade de papéis e facetas das rainhas da Idade Média tornam necessárias abordagens inovadoras para decorrer sobre esta discussão sobre poderes e títulos. Os estudos de género oferecem possibilidade para construir pontes de diálogo entre culturas, espaços e tempos. As três personagens referidas são precisamente exemplo desta interação. Foram três mulheres, filhas, mães, esposas e rainhas que colocaram modelos e realidades em debate, compelindo a mudanças e/ou adaptações nas regras impostas ao seu género pelos cargos e papéis desempenhados. A fim de melhor compreender o poder destas mulheres e a sua importância para a história e para o género, propomo-nos analisar e contextualizar as várias identidades que se agruparam no título de cada uma das rainhas - domina, mater regis, regina, conlaterana regis, imperatrix - com o objectivo de as enquadrar num espaço de diálogo e interdisciplinaridade entre o mundo Anglo-Saxónico e o Ibérico. Pretende-se igualmente compreender a relação que estabeleceram com os seus filhos como suas genitrix, por modo a verificar qual o contributo e reconhecimento inegável que tiveram na transmissão e legitimação de poderes de gerações futuras. Palavras-chave: género; linhagem; legitimação; regina; genitrix 5 Abstract During the middle Ages, the role and powers of women as queens suggested not only ambiguity and limitation, but also a permanent flux of transformations. For queens of the eleventh and twelfth-century like Emma of Normandy (Emma Ælgifu), Urraca of Leon-Castile and Teresa of Portugal, the confirmation of their status, both royal and social, relied not only on their identity as consecrated individuals and owners of an office, but it also depended on how that office was carried out beside its masculine counterpart. The current mechanisms were designed ultimately for a share in power, and yet the life paths of Emma, Urraca and Teresa and the actions they took confirmed them as individual authorities, generating a conflict with the intellectual and government understanding of their time, in its majority (if not entirely) masculine. Difficulties of analysis and the multiplicity of roles and faces of middle ages’ queens call out for creative approaches especially in discussions concerning powers and titles. Gender studies offer the possibility to build communicational bridges between culture, time and space. These three characters in this study are examples of this interaction. They were three women, daughters, mothers, wives and queens, that forced models and realities into debate, and called out for changes and /or adaptations to rules imposed to their gender by their performed offices and roles. Aiming for a better understanding of the power of these women and its importance to history and to gender, we propose to analyze and contextualize their lives and the various identities that were gathered in the title of each one of the queens – domina, mater regis, regina, conlaterana regis, imperatrix –with the intend to create a space where dialogue and interdisciplinarity between the Anglo-Saxon world and the Iberian can converge. Furthermore, it is our purpose to understand the relationship they established with their sons as their genitrix, and thus verify their part in the transmission of powers and legitimacy

  • Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo
    Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo by Flora Thomas Ward A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Flora Thomas Ward 2014 Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo Flora Thomas Ward Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2014 Abstract My dissertation examines the Cámara Santa of the Cathedral of Oviedo as both a medieval and modern monument, shaped by twelfth-century bishops and twentieth-century restorers. I consider the space as a multi-media ensemble, containing manuscripts, metalwork, and sculpture, arguing that we must view it as a composite—if fragmented—whole. My analysis focuses on the twelfth century, a crucial period during which the structure, decoration, and contents of the Cámara Santa were reworked. A key figure in this story is Bishop Pelayo of Oviedo (d. 1153), who sought to enhance the antiquity and authority of the see of Oviedo by means of the cult of its most important reliquary: the Arca Santa. I argue that this reliquary shapes the form and function of the twelfth-century Cámara Santa, considering the use of the space in the context of liturgy and pilgrimage. Finally, I consider the sculpture that lines the walls of the space, arguing that it animates and embodies the relics contained within the Arca Santa, interacting with the pilgrims and canons who used the space. Thus, this sculpture represents the culmination of the long twelfth-century transformation of the Cámara Santa into a space of pilgrimage focused around the Arca Santa and the memory of the early medieval patrons of the Cathedral of Oviedo, a memory which abides to this day.

' My first article Zu den Cambridger Liedern ' was written in the spring of 1885 and published in Volume xxx of Haupt's Zeitschrift filr deutsches Altertkum. The more attention I paid to the songs and the more I corresponded with scholars about some of them, the stronger became my conviction of the importance of having the ten folios of this unique manuscript photographed and of thereby rendering this fascinating collection in its every aspect readily accessible to the students of Medieval literature. It is in truth necessary to invite the co-operation of all such students, whether their subject be Medieval theology, philology, philosophy or music, in the interesting task of elucidating the more difficult poems of what may be regarded as the song book or commonplace book of some early Goliard.

  • Some Kaylor-Smeltzer Genealogy
    Some Kaylor-Smeltzer Genealogy Two years ago, while attempting once more to extend some of the family King William I (the Conqueror) tree, I found some web-based sources that yielded quite unanticipated break- 1028 – 1087 King Henry I (Henry Beauclerc) throughs. The family involved was Estep – my grandmother Cline’s family. 1068 – 1135 Since they were Mennonites, I had fallaciously assumed that this was a Ger- Empress Matilda (Lady of the English) man family and that they had arrived in Pennsylvania in the 1730-1770 pe- 1102 – 1167 King Henry II (Curtmantle) riod – the first wave of German immigration. I was wrong on three fronts: 1133 – 1189 the family was English, had arrived much earlier, and came to Maryland. As King John (John Lackland) of this moment, I have found quite a few ancestors. But quite unexpectedly, 1166 – 1216 I found very similar results with the Smeltzer family: it had intermarried in King Henry III (Henry of Winchester) 1207 – 1272 Maryland with English and that led to many discoveries. I am still progress- King Edward I (Longshanks) ing on this but I have already entered nearly 22,000 names of our direct 1239 – 1307 ancestors – and maybe a hundred children of these direct ancestors.

  • Eugene Miakinkov
    Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army.

  • The Self-Coronations of Iberian Kings: a Crooked Line
    THE SELF-Coronations OF IBERIAN KINGS: A CROOKED LINE JAUME AURELL UNIVERSIDAD DE NAVARRA SpaIN Date of receipt: 10th of March, 2012 Final date of acceptance: 4th of March, 2014 ABSTRACT This article focuses on the practice of self-coronation among medieval Iberian Castilian kings and its religious, political, and ideological implications. The article takes Alfonso XI of Castile self-coronation (1332) as a central event, and establishes a conceptual genealogy, significance, and relevance of this self-coronation, taking Visigothic, Asturian, Leonese, and Castilian chronicles as a main source, and applying political theology as a methodology. The gesture of self-coronation has an evident transgressive connotation which deserves particular attention, and could throw some light upon the traditional debate on the supposed “un-sacred” kingship of Castilian kings1. KEY WORDS Coronation, Unction, Castile, Monarchy, Political Theology. CAPITALIA VERBA Coronatio, Unctio, Castella, Monarchia, Theologia politica. IMAGO TEMPORIS. MEDIUM AEVUM, VIII (2014) 151-175. ISSN 1888-3931 151 152 JAUME AURELL 1Historians have always been fascinated by the quest for origins. Alfonso XI of Castile and Peter IV of Aragon’s peculiar and transgressive gestures of self-coronation in the fourteenth century are very familiar to us, narrated in detail as they are in their respective chronicles2. Yet, their ritual transgression makes us wonder why they acted in this way, whether there were any precedents for this particular gesture, and to what extent they were aware of the different rates at which the anointing and coronation ceremonies were introduced into their own kingdoms, in their search for justification of the self-coronation3.

' The history of the Iberian peninsula i,>certainly no exception to rhis rule, but unlike other 'regions of the medieval West the process of stare-building in Iberia is closely associated with another, more localised, historical and historiographical phenomenon: the Reconqw'sta.

  • From Munster to La Coruña Across the Celtic Sea: Emigration, Assimilation, and Acculturation in the Kingdom of Galicia (1601-40)
    Obradoiro de Historia Moderna, N.º 19, 9-38, 2010, ISSN: 1133-0481 FROM MUNSTER TO LA CORUÑA ACROSS THE CELTIC SEA: EMIGRATION, ASSIMILATION, AND AccULTURATION IN THE KINGDOM OF GALICIA (1601-40) Ciaran O’Scea University College Dublin RESUMEN . Entre 1602 y 1608 cerca de 10.000 individuos de todos los estratos de la sociedad gaélica irlandesa predominante en el suroeste de Irlanda emigraron al noroeste de España como consecuenciade la fallida intervención militar española en Kinsale en 1601-02, lo que condujo a la consolidación de la comunidad irlandesa en La Coruña (Galicia). Esto ha permitido un análisis de la asimilación e integración de la comunidad en las estructuras civiles, eclesiásticas y reales de Galicia y de la monarquía hispánica. Los resultados muestran como la inicial introspección de la comunidad irlandesa durante la primera década dio paso a una rápida asimilación e integración en la siguiente. Al mismo tiempo, las alteradas circunstancias socio-económicas y políticas condujeron a cambios de gran alcance en las estructuras internas y los valores socio-culturales de la comunidad. Palabras clave: emigración irlandesa, España, Irlanda, Galicia, La Coruña, asimilación, integración, Kinsale. ABSTR A CT . Between 1602 and 1608 c. 10.000 individuals from all strata of predominantly Gaelic Irish society in the south west of Ireland emigrated to the north west of Spain in the aftermath of the failed Spanish military intervention at Kinsale in 1601-02, leading to the consolidation of the fledling Irish community in La Coruña in Galicia. This has permitted an analysis of the community´s assimilation and integration to the civil, ecclesiastical and royal structures of Galicia and the Spanish monarchy.
