The Aristocracy in the County of Champagne, 1100-1300
Author: Theodore Evergates
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812201884
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Theodore Evergates provides the first systematic analysis of the aristocracy in the county of Champagne under the independent counts. He argues that three factors—the rise of the comital state, fiefholding, and the conjugal family—were critical to shaping a loose assortment of baronial and knightly families into an aristocracy with shared customs, institutions, and identity. Evergates mines the rich, varied, and in some respects unique collection of source materials from Champagne to provide a dynamic picture of a medieval aristocracy and its evolving symbiotic relationship with the counts. Count Henry the Liberal (1152-81) began the process of transforming a quasi-independent baronage accustomed to collegial governance into an elite of landholding families subordinate to the count and his officials. By the time Countess Jeanne married the future King Philip IV of France in 1284, the fiefholding families of Champagne had become a distinct provincial nobility. Throughout, it was the conjugal community, rather than primogeniture or patrilineage, that remained the core familial institution determining the customs regarding community property, dowry, dower, and partible inheritance. Those customs guaranteed that every lineage would survive, but frequently through a younger son or daughter. The life courses of women and men, influenced not only by social norms but also by individual choice and circumstance, were equally unpredictable. Evergates concludes that imposed models of "the aristocratic family" fail to capture the diversity of individual lives and lineages within one of the more vibrant principalities of medieval France.

Esrevinu
Author: A. Scott Boddie
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781462059423
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
For every waking moment of Esrevinu's life, he has dreamed of a better life, but, unfortunately, he has aggressions that he must release. At seventeen, he murders his parents. With their last breaths, his past disappears, and he does not mourn. Instead, he kills thirteen more times and becomes known as the Harlem Meer Killer. In front of the Elephant Rocks in Central Park-where Esrevinu seeks salvation from damnation-he meets Prince Sebastian, a vampire who immediately sweeps him away, baptizes him in the ocean, and promises to return. Suddenly Esrevinu's mortal life as a serial killer gives way to a new immortal life as a vampire. As he anxiously awaits a reunion with the dark knight, Esrevinu mistakenly thinks that Sebastian's kiss has cured him of his urge to kill. Unfortunately he is wrong. As he takes human lovers, he becomes annoyed with their limited existence and kills each in a t of anger. The only one Esrevinu can count on for true companionship is Noom, a masculine beast with aggressive hunting instincts. But Noom has no idea that he is about to assist Esrevinu in murdering Prince Sebastian-an event that will lead to Sebastian's father, the King, placing bounties on each of their heads. In this fantasy tale, Esrevinu, a vampire obsessed with his mission to survive Earth's demise, transitions from slaughtering humans to murdering immortals, for Esrevinu only wants one thing-their powers."

The French Idea of Freedom
Author: Dale Van Kley
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804788162
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
“The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen of 1789” is the French Revolution’s best known utterance. By 1789, to be sure, England looked proudly back to the Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, and a bill of rights, and even the young American Declaration of Independence and the individual states’ various declarations and bills of rights preceded the French Declaration. But the French deputies of the National Assembly tried hard, in the words of one of their number, not to receive lessons from others but rather “to give them” to the rest of the world, to proclaim not the rights of Frenchmen, but those “for all times and nations.” The chapters in this book treat mainly the origins of the Declaration in the political thought and practice of the preceding three centuries that Tocqueville designated the “Old Regime.” Among the topics covered are privileged corporations; the events of the three months preceding the Declaration; blacks, Jews, and women; the Assembly’s debates on the Declaration; the influence of sixteenth-century notions of sovereignty and the separation of powers; the rights of the accused in legal practices and political trials from 1716 to 1789; the natural rights to freedom of religion; and the monarchy’s “feudal” exploitation of the royal domain.
