    ADELSSTATUUT EN ADELSBOEKJES IN EUROPA VANAF 1800 0. Schutte Ädelsgeschiedenis kent twee aspecten: de regels die in een bepaald land in een bepaalde tijd aan het instituut adel als zodanig ten grondslag liggen, het adelsstatuut, en de personele invulling ervan, die men onder meer terugvindt in adelsboekjes.We verstaan daaronder seriewerken betreffende een bepaald land, waarin meestal alfabetisch gegevens vermeld staan betreffende een aantal adellijke families en die jaarlijks of althans met een zekere regelmaat verschijnen. In dit artikel zullen de grenzen van Europa niet overschreden worden. Immers: in andere werelddelen bestaan er wel hogere sociale klassen die om die reden met de Europese adel ver­ gelijkbaar zijn, maar het adelsstatuut is daar meestal anders en zeker is ook de registratie van een andere aard dan wij in Europa kennen, waar eigenlijk alleen nog maar op papier (of per­ kament) aangeleverde bescheiden het bewijs leveren of iemand van adel is. Onder 'adelsstatuut' verstaan we het geheel van regels, waardoor iemand van adel wordt, waar­ door de adeldom wordt doorgegeven aan het nageslacht en waardoor de adeldom eventueel teniet gaat. De vraag doet zich voor of adel een nationaal of een internationaal instituut is. Hoewel 'blauw bloed' uiteraard over de staatsgrens kan worden meegenomen, hebben alle soeverei­ ne staten in de loop van de tijd regels opgesteld betreffende adeldom. Dit kwam mede voort uit het feit dat tijdens het ancien régime aan adeldom voorrechten verbonden waren en het is logisch dat de vorst van het land waar men zich vestigde, die voorrechten niet zonder meer zou willen toestaan aan adellijke ex-onderdanen van een andere staat.

  • Canada's Evolving Crown: from a British Crown to A
    Canada’s Evolving Crown 108 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2014-0030 Canada’s Evolving Crown: From a British Crown to a “Crown of Maples” SCOTT NICHOLAS ROMANIUK University of Trento and JOSHUA K. WASYLCIW University of Calgary Abstract This article examines how instruments have changed the Crown of Canada from 1867 through to the present, how this change has been effected, and the extent to which the Canadian Crown is distinct from the British Crown. The main part of this article focuses on the manner in which law, politics, and policy (both Canadian and non-Canadian) have evolved a British Imperial institution since the process by which the federal Dominion of Canada was formed nearly 150 years ago through to a nation uniquely Canadian as it exists today. The evolution of the Canadian Crown has taken place through approximately fifteen discrete events since the time of Canadian confederation on July 1, 1867. These fifteen events are loosely categorized into three discrete periods: The Imperial Crown (1867-1930), A Shared Crown (1931-1981), and The Canadian Crown (1982-present). Keywords: Imperial, the London Conference, the Nickle Resolution, the British North America Act, Queen Victoria, Sovereignty, the Statute of Westminster 109 Canada’s Evolving Crown Introduction Of Canadian legal and governmental institutions, the Crown sits atop all, unifying them by means of a single institution. This Crown has remained both a symbol of strength and a connection to Canada’s historical roots. The roots of the Crown run deep and can be traced as far back as the sixteenth century, when the kings of France first established the Crown in Canada in Nouvelle-France.

  • Wilhelmina of Holland
    WILHELMINA OF HOLLAND KEES V AN HoEK N September 6th, 1898, a fair girl of eighteen, clad in a long O white silken robe, an ermine-caped red velvet cloak em­ broidered with golden lions hanging royally from her slim shoulders, rose amidst the great of her land and the princes of her oriental empire, solemnly to swear allegiance to the Constitu­ tion of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. After eight years of minority, since the death of her father, she now became in fact what she had been in name from her tenth year: Queen in her own right. Times change. This maxim must surely be pondered now by Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, doyenne of the ruling mon­ archs of the world. For the changes which she witnessed during her reign are so sweeping that one hardly believes the evidence of one's own eyes. Revolutions chased the Kings of Portugal and Spain far from their countries. The Emperor of Germany, at the zenith of his power when she mounted her throne, has already been an exile in Holland now for half the time of her own reign; not a solitary ruler is left of that multitude of kings and grand dukes, princes and princelings, then wielding autocratic power, to-day already completely forgotten by their former subjects. The mighty Emperor Francis Joseph died, his country does not even exist any more, and there is a warrant out for the arrest of his heir. The Czar of Russia has been exterminated with his whole family. The King of Italy-of the only family which can compete with her House in age-barely holds his own by the tolerance of a popular dictator.

  • Property Law and Imperial and British Titles: the Dukes of Marlborough and the Principality of Mindelheim
    Tijdschrift voor Rechtsgeschiedenis 77 (2009) 191-210 Revue d’Histoire du Droit 77 (2009) 191-210 The Legal History Review 77 (2009) 191-210 Property law and Imperial and British titles: the Dukes of Marlborough and the Principality of Mindelheim Noel Cox* Summary The title of prince of the Holy Roman Empire was conferred in 1704 upon all the children heirs and lawful descendants, male and female, of John Churchill, the first duke of Marlborough. The title of prince of Mindelheim was granted in 1705 to all male descendants and daughters of the first duke. But following the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 and the Treaty of Rastatt in 1714 the principality passed to Bavaria. The right of the dukes of Marlborough to use the style and title was thus lost, and any residual rights would have expired in 1722 on the death of the duke, as they could not pass to a daughter (unlike his British titles). Despite this it is still common practice to describe the Duke of Marlborough as a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Prince of Mindelheim. This paper considers the differences in the treatment of the descent of the British and imperial titles. Keywords Duke of Marlborough; John Churchill; Principality of Mindelheim; Principality of Mellenburg; prince of the Holy Roman Empire; peerage; statutory entail; alienation. Introduction Field Marshal Sir John Churchill, first duke of Marlborough, was one of the greatest military commanders in history. He held the office of Captain- General of the English and then British army (the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century equivalent of Commander-in-Chief of the Forces), in 1690–1691 and 1702–1711.

  • Canadian City Flags Is Called a “Fraise” in Heraldry
    Abbotsford, British Columbia 1 Abbotsford, British Columbia Population Rank: Canada. 23 Province. 4 Proportions: 3:5 (1:2 usage) Adopted: 25 October 1995 DESIGN: The flag of the City of Abbotsford has a green field with a yellow disc in the centre, approximately three-fifths the height of the flag. Eight yel- low bars run from the disc to the edges and corners of the flag. The width of each bar is slightly less than one-fifth the height of the flag. In the centre of each bar, one-third its width, is a blue stripe running from the edge of the disc to the corner or the middle of the edge of the flag. Centred on the disc is a stylized flower composed of a central disc surrounded by a ring of ten smaller discs, all in yellow, over five white petals surrounding the ring, their edges touching and the uppermost pointing to the top of the flag. Extending from each junction between the petals is a small pointed leaf (sepal) in light green. SYMBOLISM: Abbotsford is known as the “Hub of the Fraser Valley” and the flag is a symbolic depiction of this slogan. The bars represent the roads in the area, with the central disc representing Abbotsford at the centre of the crossroads. The green field represents the agricultural fields, meadows, and forests within Abbotsford. The green was derived from the flag of the Dis- trict of Matsqui (which amalgamated with the District of Abbotsford in June 1995 to become the City of Abbotsford). The strawberry plant Fragaria( sp.) 2 Canadian City Flags is called a “fraise” in heraldry.

  • A Guide to Blazonry
    A GUIDE TO BLAZONRY Kevin Greaves Illustrated by Steve Cowan and Gordon Macpherson Published by The Royal Heraldry Society of Canada Copyright Page © 2014 The Royal Heraldry Society of Canada and K.W. Greaves A GUIDE TO BLAZONRY PREFACE Blazon is the language of heraldry. Its intent is to provide a description in words of a coat of arms so that an experienced heraldic artist can produce an accurate picture of the arms. Although it may be archaic in form, it can describe an achievement much more precisely than can ordinary language. The objective of the heraldic blazon is to be clear and concise. While there may be more than one set of words available to create a proper blazon, an heraldic artist should be able to draw the achievement from the words of the blazon and the guidance of the artist should be the primary intent in all cases. While a concise, neatly worded blazon can be a source of satisfaction, clever wording should never replace clarity of meaning. This handbook is intended to provide the heraldic enthusiast with a single correct way to blazon a given achievement, not two or three alternatives, no matter how correct. It is not intended as a guide to heraldic design. Also, it is assumed that the student has done the necessary homework on shields, ordinaries, charges, etc, and that what is required here is a guide to describing them in proper form and sequence. Kevin Greaves November, 2014 A GUIDE TO BLAZONRY CONTENTS CHAPTER TITLE PAGE 1 The Shield, Sequence of Blazoning 1 2 The Complex Field 6 3 Blazoning Charges on the Field 10 4 Counterchanging 15 5 Multi-Family Shields 17 6 The Crest and its Associated Features 20 7 Supporters, Compartment and Motto 24 8 Badges and Flags 27 CHAPTER 1 THE SHIELD SEQUENCE OF BLAZONING Since the shield is the most important and, in most cases, the most complex part of an achievement of arms, we will start off by describing the sequence in which its various components are normally described in a blazon.
