  • Roman-Barbarian Marriages in the Late Empire R.C
    ROMAN-BARBARIAN MARRIAGES IN THE LATE EMPIRE R.C. Blockley In 1964 Rosario Soraci published a study of conubia between Romans and Germans from the fourth to the sixth century A.D.1 Although the title of the work might suggest that its concern was to be with such marriages through- out the period, in fact its aim was much more restricted. Beginning with a law issued by Valentinian I in 370 or 373 to the magister equitum Theodosius (C.Th. 3.14.1), which banned on pain of death all marriages between Roman pro- vincials and barbarae or gentiles, Soraci, after assessing the context and intent of the law, proceeded to discuss its influence upon the practices of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Roman Empire in the West. The text of the law reads: Nulli provineialium, cuiuscumque ordinis aut loci fuerit, cum bar- bara sit uxore coniugium, nec ulli gentilium provinciales femina copuletur. Quod si quae inter provinciales atque gentiles adfinitates ex huiusmodi nuptiis extiterit, quod in his suspectum vel noxium detegitur, capitaliter expietur. This was regarded by Soraci not as a general banning law but rather as a lim- ited attempt, in the context of current hostilities with the Alamanni, to keep those barbarians serving the Empire (gentiles)isolated from the general Roman 2 populace. The German lawmakers, however, exemplified by Alaric in his 63 64 interpretatio,3 took it as a general banning law and applied it in this spir- it, so that it became the basis for the prohibition under the Germanic king- doms of intermarriage between Romans and Germans.

Follow the exemplary life of our Lord Jesus Christ. He forgive His enemies even on the Cross as He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. " (Luke 23:34). Similarly, Stephen also forgave those who stoned him to death as he said, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." (Acts 7:60). If you do not ask for and forgive the sins of your offenders, salva­ tion will elude you. If our Lord Jesus Christ did not forgive His enemies, He would not have risen.

  • His Royal Highness the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
    Speech By Dr Christian Rowan MEMBER FOR MOGGILL Record of Proceedings, 21 April 2021 MOTION OF CONDOLENCE His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Dr ROWAN (Moggill—LNP) (12.01 pm): As the state member for Moggill and as a life member of the Australian Monarchist League it is an honour to rise in support of today’s motion and pay respects to a friend beloved by the people of Queensland as well as citizens across various state and territory jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Australia and also many countries around the world. I wish to place on record my formal condolences to Her Majesty the Queen for the unimaginable grief that Her Majesty is enduring and for the sheer weight of the loss for both the Queen and her family—the loss of a husband, a father and a grandfather. For more than 73 years there have been countless stories that have been written and shared about Prince Philip. These stories have ultimately been stories of both love and sacrifice. There can be no doubt that there was an unwavering love and unbreakable bond between Prince Philip and Her Majesty the Queen. For almost 74 years Prince Philip had been the Queen’s constant companion and, in her own words, her strength and stay. With Her Majesty’s coronation in 1952, Prince Philip also eventually became the longest serving consort of a reigning British monarch. Their marriage has been a true embodiment of partnership, companionship, loyalty and support. Always by Her Majesty’s side, Prince Philip never sought or permitted his own position or voice to dominate that of the Queen such was the ultimate love and respect he had for the monarchy, the associated royal institution and Her Majesty.

  • Notes for the Guidance of Rep Dls Re Borough Observance of Mourning Following the Death of a Member of the Royal Family [Not Including the Sovereign]
    Notes for the Guidance of Rep DLs re Borough Observance of Mourning Following the Death of a Member of the Royal Family [not including the Sovereign] The forms of Mourning are: NATIONAL MOURNING ROYAL MOURNING Following the death of a Member of The Royal Family, the Lord Chamberlain or the Earl Marshal will consult with the Prime Minister before seeking The Sovereign’s Commands with regard to mourning. No action should be taken until there is a formal announcement of the death (that is, when the media reports that Buckingham Palace or Downing Street has announced the death, not when they indicate that “reports are coming in of the death of …..”). National Mourning Observed by all, including national representatives serving abroad. Flags lowered from the day of death to the day of Funeral. Business/Sporting activities considered by Prime Minister’s Office. Royal Mourning Observed by Members of the Royal Family, Households of the Royal Family and Troops on Public Duties. Flags Flags should be flown at half-mast on the day the death is announced (or immediately following) and day of Funeral. Flags also lowered on any other occasions where Her Majesty has given special command. Half-mast means the flag is flown two-thirds of the way up the flagpole with at least the height of the flag between the top of the flag and the top of the flagpole. On flag poles that are more than 45o from the vertical, flags cannot be flown at half-mast and the pole should be left empty. When a flag is to be flown at half-mast it should first be raised all the way to the top of the mast, allowed to remain there for a second and then lowered to the half-mast position.

    1 5 From political power to the power of the image: contemporary ‘British’ cinema and the nation’s monarchs Andrew Higson INTRODUCTION: THE HERITAGE OF MONARCHY AND THE ROYALS ON FILM From Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V Shakespeare adaptation in 1989 to the story of the fi nal years of the former Princess of Wales, inDiana in 2013, at least twenty-six English-language feature fi lms dealt in some way with the British monarchy. 1 All of these fi lms (the dates and directors of which will be indi- cated below) retell more or less familiar stories about past and present kings and queens, princes and princesses. This is just one indication that the institution of monarchy remains one of the most enduring aspects of the British national heritage: these stories and characters, their iconic settings and their splendid mise-en-scène still play a vital role in the historical and contemporary experience and projection of British national identity and ideas of nationhood. These stories and characters are also of course endlessly recycled in the pre- sent period in other media as well as through the heritage industry. The mon- archy, its history and its present manifestation, is clearly highly marketable, whether in terms of tourism, the trade in royal memorabilia or artefacts, or images of the monarchy – in paintings, prints, fi lms, books, magazines, televi- sion programmes, on the Internet and so on. The public image of the monarchy is not consistent across the period being explored here, however, and it is worth noting that there was a waning of support for the contemporary royal family in the 1990s, not least because of how it was perceived to have treated Diana.
