Laughter and Grief in Twelfth-Century Accounts of the Death of William Rufus
The death of King William Rufus while hunting in August 1100 is often acknowledged as a fitting end for an unpopular and ineffective monarch, based largely on descriptions of the event in several twelfth-century texts. While it will never be possible to arrive at a definitive explanation of what happened, near-contemporary representations of the king’s behaviour and death reveal much about perceptions and expectations of medieval kingship. By exa…
Marriage, Peace, and Enmity in the Twelfth Century
As is well known, marriage was frequently employed as an instrument of diplomatic policy in premodern Europe. Dynastic leaders used the marriages of their own family members to create or confirm alliances with other ruling houses. Peace was often the aim and the outcome of such agreements, but the reality of marital politics was far more complicated. Arranging a marriage could be a statement of enmity by two families toward a third party. Attempt…
Introduction: Peace by Means of Culture
It is often argued that a shared culture, or at least shared cultural references or practices, can help to foster peace and prevent war. This essay examines in detail and criticizes one such argument, made by Patrick Leigh Fermor, in the context of his discussing an incident during World War II, when he and a captured German general found a form of agreement, a ground for peace between them, in their both knowing Horace's ode I.9 by heart in Lati…
Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of France, Queen of England, by Ralph V. Turner
Eleanor of Aquitaine would not, at first glance, appear to be in need of another biographer. There is already a lengthy list of books devoted to her, testament to the enduring interest in one of the most fascinating figures of the twelfth century. Yet, on closer examination, few of these volumes have been produced by academic historians; most are the work either of non-academic authors or of scholars in other fields (notably medieval literature).…
Hewing the Ancient Elm: Anger, Arboricide, and Medieval Kingship
In 1188, an eye-catching display of royal anger resulted in the destruction of the ancient elm tree at Gisors by Philip II of France. Building on recent reappraisals of anger and other emotions in the medieval context, this essay seeks to understand how contemporary observers may have interpreted their monarch's momentous outburst. The elm's longstanding significance as a site of diplomacy and peace negotiations in the border zone between France …
