The ceremonies of Charles II's court
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the question of how the restored monarchy used the ceremonies of court in the
period 1660-1685. It is concerned with those rituals which took place regularly within the royal
palaces, that is to say the ceremonies of the Chapel Royal, of healing, of reception and audience,
dining and entertaining, and the rituals which took place within the privy apartments, including the
royal lever and coucher. The ways in which these rituals operated over the course of the reign are
considered - with close reference to their physical setting - as is their significance as expressions of
royal power.
The contention of the thesis is that the ceremonies of the Restoration court are a neglected subject
deserving of serious study, and that by examining them real insight can be gained into the changing
nature of monarchy, the personality of Charles II and the politics of his reign. The thesis argues,
contrary to traditional accounts of his reign, that Charles II took the formal exchanges of court life
very seriously, that their performance was intimately connected to the politics of the period and that
they were crucial to the way in which he projected his own majesty

Le esperienze romana, germanica e celtica nello sviluppo della dipendenza personale altomedievale: Iberia, Gallia e Italia settentrionale tra V e VIII secolo
No full textII tema della libertà e quello della dipendenza sono legati alle condizioni matenali ed alle situazioni concrete nelle
quali l'individuo vive. Attraverso lo studio di tre casi specifici (quello visigoto, quello franco e quello longobardo), questo
studio é stato mirato a porre in rilievo i caratteri della dipendenza volontaria nei primi secoli del medioevo. L'attenzione é
stata costantemente rivolta sia alle clientele di livello più elevato che coinvolgono i re e l'anstocrazia, sia a quelle di carattere
rurale, nella convinzione che vi sia una continuità strutturale tra il mondo tardoromano e i regni germanici. L'indagine ha
cercato perciò di evidenziare i caratteri economici, sociali, politici ed etico-religiosi del rapporto signore-cliente. I limiti
cronologici sono individuati nel secolo in cui Visigoti e Franchi si insediarono stabilmente in Occidente (il V), e nella prima
meta del sec. VIII, quando gli Arabi posero fine alla monarchia di Toledo e i Carolingi sostiruirono i re Merovingi alla guida
dei Franchi; per i Longobardi, invece, sono stati scelti i riferimenti tradizionali del 569 e della sconfitta da parte di Carlo
Magno, con particolare artenzione al secolo che va da Rotari all'ascesa di Desiderio.
The subject represented by the freedom and the theme of the individual's dependence are strictly connected
with the concret situation of the life; by means of the analysis of three particular case-study (the Visigoths, the Franks and the
Lombards), this work try to point out the main features of the personal voluntary dependence, in the early medieval age.
The attention is constantly directed to the different forms of the clientship, both to the lower levels, and to the upper levels
of the social and economic structures; this because at the base of this work there is the convinction that there was a
Strucrural not an institutional continuity from the late roman age and the early medieval time, particularly by the point of
view of the clientship. This research was interested in all the main features of the clientship: religious, economic, legal and
political, military. The terminus post quem is indicated in the V century, with the beginning of the Visigoth and the Frankish
political experience and expansion, and with the year 569, for the Lombards; the terminus ante quem is represented, in the
eight century, by the end of the Visigothic realms bye the Arab conquest (711), by the success of the proto-carolingian
politics and, for the Lombard Italy, by a later date: the defeat by Charles, in 774, with particular attention paid to the century
between king Rothan and the access to the power of king Desiderius
Redemption in the work of Francis Stuart
No full textThe idea of redemption is central to an understanding of the work
of Francis Stuart. Through an examination of its development and
expression, it is possible to demonstrate the integrity of his work and
its distinctive qualities. Such a demonstration is necessary because
Stuart's writing has been subjected to comparatively little scholarly
inquiry, although reviews of his work, especially that produced since
1949, suggest that it is impressive and important.
First, a general background to Stuart's work, a discussion of the
special problems associated with reading it, and a summary of his corpus
is provided. This indicates that the idea of redemption is important to
his earliest writing. The state of redemption is shown to be a
necessary apotheosis for Stuart's outcast heroes; it involves spiritual
suffering through which may be found a sense of reintegration and a
higher reality. This is expressed through interrelated themes such as
those of gambler, artist and ordinary man; mystic and criminal; sacred
and profane love; and spirituality and the mundane. The nature of the
redemptive experience is further elaborated by distinctive, complex
motifs, especially the hare, the ark and the woman-Christ. Their
recurrence provides an important element in the unity of Stuart's work.
Because Stuart's idea of the outcast raises important biographical
questions, an examination of the relationship between Stuart's life and
his work is made. Finally, the way in which the idea of redemption
exists in the language structures of Stuart's novels is examined, with
especial reference to his most recent work, The High Consistory. The
thesis shows that the development of the these of redemption
demonstrates the integrity of Stuart's work
The Layburnes and their world, circa 1620-1720: the English Catholic community and the House of Stuart
No full textThis thesis concerns Catholics in north-western England in the late
seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, in particular the Layburne family
of Cunswick, Cumbria. It examines their role in local society and at the courts
of the Stuart queens in London and St Germains. It traces their growing
commitment to the Jacobite cause and their hopes of thereby regaining
positions of influence at court and in the country.
The north-western Tory gentry's sympathy with their Catholic counterparts is
contrasted with the treatment given to the Quakers in the same area. The latter
were regarded as a danger to the fabric of society, representing an economic
and political threat to the government. As an example of how integrated the
Catholics were, the services in Kendal parish church were more Papist than
non-conformist, even under the Protectorate. At the Restoration the Catholics
continued to contribute to the upkeep of the church and were well-regarded in
the area.
The Layburnes occupied positions during the reign of James II, both in the
north-west and at court. Bishop John Laybume acted as James II's Catholic
bishop, and had also been involved in the Secret Treaty of Dover in 1670,
under Charles II. during James II's reign bishop Layburne had organised the
funding of Catholic chapels, clergy and education. This activity was
discovered and used in the prosecution of Catholic gentry in the trials
following the Lancashire Plot (1694). On acquittal, the Jacobites vigorously
renewed their plotting in Lancashire. Planning for a Jacobite invasion reached
its culmination in the 1715 Rising, only to end with the siege of Preston.
Despite some executions and the forfeiture of estates, many Catholic Jacobite
families survived the 1715 rising. Few rose in 1745 and many Catholic
families, with the exception of the Layburnes, prospered and continue to this
day

The Louvre of Charles V: Legitimacy, Renewal, and Royal Presence in Fourteenth-Century Paris
No full textabstract: No monument better expressed the ambitions of King Charles V of France (r. 1364-80) than the Louvre. Charles V’s renovated Louvre asserted his legitimacy, served as a temple of wisdom, and was a majestic sign of the renewed presence of the monarch after years of royal absence. This article examines how Charles V’s Louvre created meaning through its association with its site, with other monuments, and with texts and images to become a political manifesto in stone. Through the expansion of the Louvre, Charles V sought to shape how his kingdom was perceived both by his subjects and by foreigners

The Life and Letters of the Lady Arbella Stuart
No full textLady Arbella Stuart, a woman nearly forgotten in history and literature and yet a woman who lived a full and exciting life which is well documented in her letters to her family, friends and royalty (both Queen Elizabeth I and James VI and I). Arbella Stuart was born in 1575 to Elizabeth Cavendish and Charles Darnley and was brought up by her maternal grandmother, Bess of Hardwick. She was educated from birth about her proximity to the throne (there was a chance she could have been queen when Elizabeth died) and the important role she had in life. There have been several biographies written about Stuart over the years and most recently an excellent text of her existing letters by Sara Jayne Steen which is the primary source of information for this thesis. This thesis examines Stuart’s tone, rhetoric and style in a selection of letters written over the course of her life, where possible using manuscripts viewed in the British Library and Hardwick Hall, as well as the published text. Part of what makes Stuart such an interesting subject is her ability to manipulate her reader and assume different personae, depending on whom she was writing to. The young Stuart writes passionately and often without thinking first, putting her thoughts on paper and then quickly sending them off to the Queen and her advisers. An older and wiser Stuart writes from James VI and I’s court and is very formal in her letters to the King. She is more relaxed when writing to her Aunt and Uncle and depicts court life in a lively informal fashion giving us a valuable insight into what life as a courtier would have been like at this time. Finally the thesis examines Stuart’s last letters written from imprisonment, the work of a desperate woman, fighting for her freedom. Stuart, like most of us, had a multi-faceted personality. She was at times an apparently submissive and subservient subject of the King; a well read and educated woman who adopted the guise of humility and deference to those in authority, the patriarchal order in place. This thesis will depict the many different sides to Stuart and give a brief overview of her exciting and turbulent life, told through her letters
