Rumaldo Robles Interview
No full textRumaldo Robles (Class of 2016) was interviewed by Valeria Reynosa via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on December 22, 2021. He was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. Mr. Robles' parents immigrated to the United States from El Salvador and Salvadoran culture played an essential role in his family. His family had a deep respect for his grandparents because they were the ones who first came to the United States. Mr. Robles attended Nimitz High School, where his teachers mentored him to pursue higher education. Financial hurdles influenced him to continue his education at a local community college, North Lake College, which allowed him to explore courses for a career path in pre-med or economics before transferring to SMU. While at SMU, Robles was involved with the College Hispanic American Students (CHAS). The members elected him to represent the organization as a Vice President and, later, as President. He enjoyed hosting various events with the group, and his favorite celebration was Viva America, which celebrates the school's Hispanic and Latino community in anticipation of Hispanic Heritage Month. Mr. Robles graduated in 2016 with a degree in Economics. At the time of the interview, he worked in the financial industry with Social Venture Partners of Dallas, an organization which provides grants and support services to nonprofits and organizations in the city

Get PDFThis study is divided into two parts. In the first one, the problem of the appearance and spread of the title of comitissa from the second half of the 9th century onwards is outlined, giving the main explanations that have been given to the phenomenon. The second part presents the case of Ermentrude sculdarissa, long misinterpreted as Ermentrude sculdahis. In the parchment Verona, Archivio di Stato, Corporazioni Religiose Soppresse, S. Maria in Organo App.* n. 10, the woman appears as emptrix of two lands with vineyards in the Veronese territory and as the author of a letter to Abbot Rumaldo in which she promises the donation of some of her goods to S. Maria in Organo. The aim of the study is to contextualise and attempt to explain the invention of the title sculdarissa in Carolingian Verona between the 940s and 960s.Questo studio si articola in due parti.
