With Eyes Full of Tears and Voice Aquiver’
This article addresses the culture of penance that pervaded the Renaissance papal court and particularly its relationship to political compromise in the form of acts of clemency and absolution. In doing so, this article illuminates the lasting influence of penitential thought in gesture and writing and its ready availability to inspire accounts of crucial political events that transpired during the papacy's most unruly periods. The pontificates o…
In Support of Pontifical Power
This article addresses the baronial nobility's much-neglected role in supporting the reestablishment of pontifical power in the wake of the Western Schism. In doing so, this article stresses how acts of noble revolt were complemented by extensive patterns of collaboration in the Papal States’ government, armies, and relations with other principalities. The nobility proved to be a fundamental source of support—a support that was theorized around a…
Friends and family, fruit and fish
The production and exchange of fish and fruit by baronial families during the Quattrocento has so far defied thorough analysis. Less conspicuous than the exchange of cloth or gilded objects and less evidently linked to noble status than hunting dogs or thoroughbred racehorses, they nevertheless speak of a distinctly noble practice and culture. The modes of production of fruit and fish were intrinsically tied to the possession of extensive estates…

Such conflicts witnessed the participation of relatives, allies, and subjects who shared in the sense of communi…

The Dutch Republic and the English Civil War
This article revisits an almost forgotten Dutch embassy to England in 1644 providing mediation at a moment Charles I’s kingdoms slipped into war. By retracing the political tug-of-war over who was to partake in the embassy, this article states that, contrary to what has up until now been argued, the Dutch political landscape as well as public opinion split in their judgment of England’s troubles. Connected to the Dutch Republic through dynastic, …
