Franks, Burgundians, and Aquitanians and the Royal Coronation Ceremony in France
Deals with two unusual French ¿ordines¿ in which relevance took precedence over tradition. In both the pregnant phrase ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ appeared in the prayer following the king¿s unction in the place traditionally occupied by the alien triad ¿Saxons, Mercians, & Northumbrians.¿ The ceremonials were thus transformed & made fully appropriate for the ruler of France. Contents of this study: (1) ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ in the 12th Century: The ¿Ordo¿ of Lat. 14192; (2) The Reappearance of ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ in Early Modern France: Jean du Tillet; Du Tillet¿s Version of the ¿Ordo Maior¿ of ¿Croix¿; Theodore Godefroy & Du Tillet¿s ¿Ordo¿; (3) Conclusion. Appendix: The ¿Ordo Maior¿ of ¿Croix.¿ Bibliography.
Born to Write
The first extensive study of the intersection between family and social hierarchy within early modern literary production.
War, Domination, and the Monarchy of France
Claude de Seyssel's important political treatise, "The Monarchy of France" (1515) illuminates the link between warfare, the state, and the social order in the Renaissance. In his effort to describe a state capable of conquest and expansion, Seyssel envisioned a new social and political order with radical implications for the French monarchy.
A Bewitched Duchy
Situé aux frontières linguistique et politique entre la France et le Saint-Empire, l'état tampon de la Lorraine a maintenu une neutralité précaire depuis la défaite de Charles le téméraire en 1477 jusqu'à la Guerre de Trente Ans. Entravée par le cardinal de Richelieu pendant les années 1630, l'autonomie politique de la Lorraine ne fut perdue qu'un siècle plus tard et le dernier duc de Lorraine se réfugia chez les Habsbourg. A Bewitched Duchy est la première histoire de Lorraine en langue anglaise.
