Auger-Sergent, Anne-Sophie. "Les graffiti marins de Normandie (13e siècle- 19e siècle)." Paris 1, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA010544.
Full textNormandy is extremely rich in ship graffiti, but we haven't any regional and synthetical studies about these iconographic sources. The inventory of Normand graffiti allows to have a corpus of some 500 documents dated from 13th to 19th centuries. The documents present essentialy ships, but also elements of ship (anchor, flag, rigging, head) or elements of navigation (sea-mark), animals (fisch, sea-bird), and maritime inscriptions. Their major value ist that graffiti give representations of boats of merchant navy and fisching navy, on which we haven't any iconographic source before the 18th century, and contribute to the repacement of naval iconographic material. The geographic repartition of ship graffiti follows the maritime and fluvial zones. They are omnipresent on the soft calcareous and plaster of the churchs, castles and traditionnal houses. In spite of their value for ship archaeology, graffiti pose a problem and particulary for determination and dating. The use of sails as leading thread allows at the same time a classification of ships graffiti, their typing according iconographic comparaisons, and their datation. Normand graffiti present merchant and coast ships. Barges are rare

Full textThis study is devoted to games practised in France at the end of the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the Renaissance (sport games, games of chance, intellectual games). It tries to make an inventory of those games, to specify their origins, to describe the instruments and equipments thez make use of, to restore their rules and to outline their typlogy. The second part concerns the world of players (age, social background) and brings out the play activities according to social groups. It tries to describe the time, the places resrved for those games as well as the stakes (financial or other). It ends with a study of the deviations of the games (cheating and violence). A third part considers those games in the face of mediaeval opinion, decribes the mechanisms of repression led by the governements as well as the methods used by those same governements to control the games. In a last part are analysed the different roles played by mediaeval games as well as the functions (symbolical and rituals) they have. The main conclusions bring out the play development (change from play to games), the meaning of those games and their combinations (extolling of sport games, more or less increasing tolerance as regards games of chance, pedagogical use of games). The procedures of external domestication of the games are to be remembered too (lease of the games, repression through taxation, intervention of governements in the organization of the games) as well as internal domestication (increasing complexity, codification of rules, organization). An alphabetical list of all games analysed is annexed
Bériou, Nicole. "La prédication effective à Paris au 13e siècle." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040053.
Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the practice of preaching in the thirteenth century on the basis of evidence provided by reportationes, notes taken by attending students from the theological faculty of the University of Paris for their personal use. It is a genre specific to this period and milieu. The first volume contains fifteen articles on composition, "authors", and contents of the reportationes. The second volume is a study dedicated to "the coming of the masters of the word", these who were at that time charged with both learned exegesis of the Bible and with communicating its results to a wider, unlearned audience. The collections of reportationes are first considered, both in relation to the changes in pastoral care at the beginning of the century, and to the development of the new art of preaching. Then one collection, dating to 1272-1273, is fully analyzed. The conditions under which the sermons were delivered, their image of society, their religious message, and their art of communication are all assessed, before a conclusion on the problem of how they were received

Full textWe established a corpus of the coats of arms that could be found in Anjou in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, based on the armorial bearings we collected in different collections, from french and europeans archives or libraries (Maine et Loire collections, BNF, National Archives, Society of Antiquaries of London). Several supports have been accepted, as seals, armorials, tombs, stained-glass windows, mural paintings, sculptures, tapestries and miniatures. At first we made an inventory of these iconographic elements and set up a specific data base for our research (656 individual descriptive cards, one for each shield’s owner, classified in alphabetical order). Then, we carried out statistics about colours and some animals’ frequency in medieval angevin coasts of arms during this period (appearance and diffusion, political and fashion phenomenon). In the same time, thanks to those results and analysis, we have been able to foresee some elements of symbolism and sensibility. We also have been interested in angevin emigration to England, and in the existing bonds between Anjou and the Plantagenêt kings. Moreover, we tried to date accurately these coats of arms’ appearance in Anjou, and to compare our results with other ones, coming from similar heraldic studies (Touraine, Bretagne, Poitou…), or to compare them with more generalist works, from France and Europe. This work, thanks to the prosopographic cards of this medieval angevin armorial, threw light on the angevin genealogies and on some family policies. At last, we studied particularly, in a family and heraldic way, the Craon, Mathefelon and Montjean families

Full textThe Art of goldsmiths has known an important development throughout the thirteenth century. These transformations were initiated by Nicolas of Verdun, who activated the representations of the characters basically. This change was favorably received in the artistic production thanks to the emergence of Paris to the rank of capital. Its urbanization and cultural development attracted, with the king, a large number of princes and foreign dignitaries who promoted a new taste: the "court art". Due to the complexity of design, this style becomes a "total" art, which finds its finest expression in various artistic techniques and is particularly valuable in the art of goldsmiths. The production of sacred objects of cult has undergone the same development which is in relation with the new tastes of the royal court. It is due also to various interactions which characterize the activity of the goldsmith’s corporations of the new capital. Indeed, because of its influence beyond the borders of France, a large number of craftsmen came to settle in Paris, bringing with them models of representations. As a result, the production of goldsmiths reflects its links with the royal power but also the exchanges which it has with other large cities and this, in part, through the development of University

Full textBy the mid-twelfth century the Norman nobility had emerged as a distinct group within society. Dominating both society and the economy, its social cohesion developed through the memorialisation of ancestors and the cultivation of the ideals of knighthood. Its distinctiveness was acknowledged by both legal custom and by the rulers of Normandy, so that it acquired legal as well as social status. Its members participated in the administration of the duchy, but its relations with the duchy's rulers remained tense. The Plantagenets adopted oppressive policies, punishing any "treachery" severely and exerting tighter control over men and castles. As the dukes became more autocratic, aristocratic disaffection spread. While Richard earned the aristocracy's affection through his charisma, his image as a chivalric king, his brother John suffered from his bad reputation, and his poor relations with his nobles played a decisive role in determining the outcome of his conflict with Philip Augustus

THE XIIITH CENTURY WAS THE MAJOR TIME WHEN THE PAPACY PROGRESSIVELY SUCCEEDED IN IMPOSING TO THE CLERICAL AND NOBLE SOCIETY OF A FREE KINGDOM A RIGHT WHICH APPEARED IN THE XIITH CENTURY AND WHICH REACHED ITS PEAK WITH THE POPES OF AVIGNON. IN ORDER TO TREAT THE NUMEROUS REQUESTS OF BENEFICES COMING FROM THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY, POPES AND THEIR CHANCERY HAD TO SET UP NEW ADMINISTRATIVE TECHNICS TO TRANSFORM THE PETITIONS IN GRANTS AND TO MAKE THEM EXECUTED AWAY. THE CREATION OF A NEW CANONICAL RIGHT STRENGTHENED THE POSSIBILITIES OF INTERVENTION AND REGULATED THE SYSTEM TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE ORDINARY PROVISORS. ROME COULD INTERFERE IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE PERSONAL OF THE DIOCESAN INSTITUTIONS, BUT SHE DID NOT TRY TO CONTROL THEM BY THIS MEAN. THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE APOSTOLICAL POWER SHOWS BIG CONTRASTS, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE LAITY WERE SAVED. THE PROSOPOGRAPHY OF A THOUSAND OF MINOR CLERKS SHOWS THE NUMEROUS KINDS OF PEOPLE PROTECTED BY POPES : THE MEMBERS OF THE ROMAN CURIA WHICH WAS MODERNISED, THE FAVOURITES OF THE CURIALISTS WHO DIVERTED A PART OF THE PAPAL POLITICS TO strengthEN THEIR OWN NEPOTISM, THE FAVOURITES OF FRENCH PRELATES, NOBLES AND KINGS WHO TRIED TO ADAPT THEMSELVES TO THE APOSTOLICAL CENTRALIZATION, THE "POOR CLERKS" AND STUDENTS WHO SEARCHED IN ROME A PROTECTION THAT THEY DID NOT FIND IN THEIR DIOCESES. THESE POLITICS BEGAN TO PROVOKE ABUSES IN THE LIFE OF THE FRENCH CHURCH, BUT THEY DID NOT MEET STRONG OPPOSITIONS, BECAUSE THE APOSTOLICAL INTERVENTIONS IN EPISCOPAL APPOINTMENTS WERE NOT NUMEROUS BEFORE THE END OF THE CENTURY

Full textAt the end of 1295, Philip the Fair takes back from Temple the treasury management, but the new Louvre's royal treasury uses proceedings drifted from Temple. Operations in the diary from 1298 to 1300 are for half part cash operations, and for the other part transferring and other writing operations. The net receipts added to the king's account are, those two years, 2 194 002 parisis pounds, dividing in 1 491 609 pounds coming from coining profits, 357 147 pounds from décime tax and other Church contributions, 68 506 pounds from centième and cinquantième taxes paid by laics, and 204 012 pounds from southern seneschalcies revenues. The treasury receives also 302 793 pounds added on northern bailiffs accounts, without transferring them on king's account. The expedients that the king must use because of insufficiency of his ordinary revenue just procure him a temporary treasury comfort, before a new degradation of his financial situation

Full textThe aim of the thesis “Writing and power in the 13th century in Champagne. Identification of the main places of writing” was to identify the main places of writing in the region of Champagne by considering a corpus of 230 vernacular charters (1232-1272) identified in the Archives of the department of Marne. Reaching this goal required the consideration of data from several disciplines, which were not necessarily closely related. Thus, besides the linguistic elements that are central to the thesis, the study deals with diplomatic and paleographic data as well as more general historical sources
La thèse Ecriture et pouvoir au 13e siècle en Champagne : identification des principaux lieux d'écriture, s'est proposée comme objectif l'identification des principaux lieux d'écriture champenois en prenant en considération un corpus de 230 chartes vernaculaires (1232-1272) identifiées dans les Archives du département de la Marne. Cette opération a nécessité la prise en considération de données de plusieurs disciplines qui ne sont pas obligatoirement proches. Ainsi, à côté d'éléments d'ordre linguistique qui sont au centre de notre thèse, nous avons dû composer avec des données de nature diplomatique, paléographique et historique en général. Dans la partie centrale de la thèse nous avons procédé à la description de chaque charte par dépôt d'archives en nous appuyant sur des paramètres linguistiques, paléographiques et diplomatiques. Cette opération permet de montrer le cheminement initial de l'analyse car pour chaque document nous avons opéré une description du contenu où sont mentionnés l'auteur, les protagonistes et éventuellement le bénéficiaire de la charte. Ensuite nous traitons le mode de scellement, la mise en page, la morphologie de l'écriture ainsi que les traits linguistiques les plus saillants. Cette analyse s'est appuyée sur la qualité particulière des chartes d'être originales et datées, à la différence des manuscrits littéraires, et de permettre par conséquent un suivi précis des phénomènes linguistiques et graphématiques à une époque donnée. Au terme de ce travail, nous avons pu atteindre notre premier objectif : celui d'identifier les lieux d'écriture les plus représentatifs pour la Champagne. Nous avons également écarté les documents qui n'ont pas été produits par des protagonistes champenois mais par des scribes pratiquant surtout dans la région voisine, la Lorraine
The aim of the thesis Writing and power in the 13th century in Champagne : identification of the main places of writing was to identify the main places of writing in the region of Champagne by considering a corpus of 230 vernacular charters (1232-1272) identified in the Archives of the department of Marne. Reaching this goal required the consideration of data from several disciplines, which were not necessarily closely related. Thus, besides the linguistic elements that are central to the thesis, the study deals with diplomatic and paleographic data as well as more general historical sources. The central part of the thesis consists of the descriptions of each charter by archive deposits based on the linguistic, paleographic and diplomatic parameters. By procedure the initial path from the analysis is shown, as for each document a content description was made in which the author, the protagonists and possibly the recipient of the charter are indicated. This was followed by a study of the mode of sealing, the layout, the morphology of the writing as well as the most salient linguistic features. This analysis was based on the particular quality of the charters being original and dated, unlike literary manuscripts, and consequently allowing accurate monitoring of linguistic and graphematic phenomena in a given period Upon completion of this work, we have reached our first objective : to identify the most representative places of writing in the region of Champagne. We have also excluded the documents that where not produced by Champenois protagonists, but by scribes engaged mostly in the neighboring region of Lorraine

Full textThe Cistercians of the diocese of Limoges are established in forsaken salti. The fisrt investments of the collunities deal consequently with the cleansing of the grounds agriculture and hydraulics, while their abbeys appear very often built with economy. The austerity is of setting, in coherence with these many movements with eremetic vocation born from the Gregorian reform. It is necessary to await XIIIe century to attend a reappearance ofthe tow-dimensional figure. The monasteries move then of a system in farming by the owner with a saving in tenant farming, approaching a clunisian model rejected as a preliminary. Perhaps the garnered incomes make it possible to invest in more luxurious artistic creations. The laic burials also lead to changes inthe decoration of abbey and introduce of an own iconography. This turning of XIIIe century is also marked by tangible capetians pusches in Aquitaine. If art to build changing more than one Plantegenêt taste still largely dependend on Romance forms, the decorations added to XIIIe century testify to close links with an art of North. The Cistercians are also revealing slip towards a first Gothic art. Nevertheless, a certain number of formulas suitable for the capetian Gothic are rejected. Between austerity and progressive acceptances of the image, between novel and Gothic, Plantagenêts and Capetians, saltus and ager, the cistercians monks of the diocese of Limoges are registered like an essential link to the comprehension of Aquitanian artistic creations of XIIe and XIIIe centuries

Full textEpiscopal government of the diocese and of the parish churches has recently been studied in several regions of North-Western Europe. Normandy had been staying apart from these studies. This thesis aims at explaining the way Episcopal power has been built over parish churches in the province of Rouen between the XIth and the XIIIth centuries. Three main steps must be distinguished. Before 1130, in spite of the first attempts permitting a control of the bishop over parish clerics, Episcopal power over churches is still badly established and often contested. At this moment, the destiny of churches and their priests is essentially the matter of lay aristocracy and Benedictine monks. It is only during the period 1130-1180 that a generation of dynamic and reforming bishops have Episcopal authority recognised everywhere, and develop important juridical and institutional innovations, in order to redefine lay rights over churches and to institute a real Episcopal control over parish benefices. The impact of these innovations is perfectly sensible only after 1180 : if Episcopal power is consequently reinforced, social relations around churches are not deeply modified. Religious and lay men adapt themselves to maintain their influence over the clerks and their rights over parish revenues. It is at the same time, in the context of Latran IV, that pastoral preoccupations emerge more precisely, partly to correct abuses provoked by the evolutions of the XIIth century : the quality of the cure of souls and of the parish service is then put forward

Full textThe history of the seigneurial administration of montpellier is studied from its formation under the rule of the guillems (especially from ca. 1100) to its phase of establishment under the rule of jacques i, king of aragon. In the 12th century, the guillems rose to the rank of territorial princes in lower languedoc, basing themselves on the economic prosperity of the town of montpellier. For this purpose, they introduced and used feudalism (feud-vassalic tie) systematically and other innovations for the expansion and the effective administration of their domains. We can see here the influence of catalonia, on account of the political and economical relations, which were very intimate since the preceding century, between montpellier and barcelona. At the beginning of 13th century, a consulate was established, taking advantage of the dynastic change of lordship (peter ii, king of aragon, became lord of montpellier by his marriage to mary, who was the sole legitimate heiress of the guillems). The first three decades of this century saw the realization of a town republic, almost free of the lordship, in montpellier. This exceptional period passed and james i, son of peter ii, recovered and consolidated his power in montpellier and its region to establish

Full textThis thesis is the first edition, with introduction, translation and commentary, of the Liber de miseria hominis by Hugues de Miramar, a Carthusian monk who lived in Montrieux in the middle of the XIIIth century. The work is a spiritual treatise mainly dealing with the themes of world contempt and of the excellence of the carthusian creed, taking the shape of two manuscripts, that offer two versions of the same work, a shorter one and a longer one. In the introduction and the commentary, particular attention was paid to setting out the critical questions raised by the manuscritps, to presenting the author, his spiritual individuality and his work, and to justifying our choice of editing here only the shorter version of the Liber. Several points seemed worthy of interest, namely the personification of death, that sets the work circa the end of the Middle Ages, as well as the autobiographical content of the book, which blends the literary styles of a treatise and a retrospective first-person narrative. The text provides priceless evidence of religious sensitivity in the XIIIth century

Full textWords, gestures from others, few possessions distinguish elites. Their powers, reputation and influence put under their domination. Power and reputation originate in birth, competence, knowledge, fortune. We can distinguish lordly elites, and urban elites who have exalted position in their town as notaries, craftsmen, merchants, consuls. However, fortune or knowledge aren't sufficient to be an elite : spatial position in the town allow to have reputation and to be considered as elite. The composition of elites change with the Crusade against Albigeois, the inquisitorial action and the linking up of the Toulouse county in the French kingdom. But many families of elites hold one's own, in spite of the condemnation of members because heresy. This fact can be explained by strategies which strengthen social position and partake of consciousness of identity. This survey allow to elaborate a system of the elite notion

As the title indicates, this will be a matter of establishing a history along three trajectories: the narrative sources which teach us what we know of him; the codicology and, in a wider sense, the history of texts; and finally, the original thought of the author. At the end of this road, a much more coherent figure than it might seem will emerge, more than it might first appear, a multi-faceted personality very much like the great intellectuals of the Middle Ages whom our modern categories have trouble understanding in their complexity

After the first part dedicated to the legal status, the economic situation and the anthroponomy, the second part speaks of all the aspects of daily life which appears in the inquisitorial sources, particularly physical realities, social structures, culture and education. The third part treats of catholic religiosity, in dealy existence and in religious institutions, of monastic structures and all varieties of feminine consacrated life. Catholic women are then confronted to cathar women of whom are studied the life of whom are studied the lofe of simple believers, of religoius women (living in community) and members of the secular clergy

Full textSeventeen manuscripts containing patristic and theological works, as well as one example of classic history, were made for Bernard de Castanet, bishop of Albi (1276-1308). Eleven of them are dated by colophons between 1291 and 1300 (Chambéry BM ms. 29; Lyon BM ms. 464; Toulouse BM mss. 44, 154, 157, 178, 185, 188, 189, 204; Paris BNF ms.

One of the scribes corrected texts of all books, except one. The hand of another scribe appears close to the one in the script of the first cartulary of Albi (Albi, AC, ms. AA 1, ff. 1-11v et 13-19v). The exemplar used for the Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People was found in a Moissac manuscript (Paris BNF ms. Lat. 5229). The manuscripts are decorated with ornamental types of initials featuring rinceaux and dragons, and pen flourishes. Some initial extensions contain hybrid creatures. There were two participating illuminators. One of them, whose style reflects the Northern Gothic, painted 21 initials of a single manuscript. He is identified with the artist of painted letters of a Missal of Dominican convent of Toulouse (Toulouse BM ms. 105). The other, who painted 291 letters in sixteen manuscripts, is also author of pen flourishes. His style is heterogeneous, showing Gothic elements, southern Romanesque elements, and a note of Italian influence. The manuscripts have been probably made in Albi, yet we shall consider them in the context of Toulouse production. In the artistic life, Albi and Toulouse are forming a certain aesthetic unity

After a first chapter dealing with the process of thetemplars installation in this region, we describe the juridical structures of lordship in roussillon: the territorial bases, the units and ways of payments, the distribution of rights within the dominants group. In the third chapter, we focuse on the rent, replaced in a context of demographic and economic growth.

Full textIn our thesis we try to bring different shapes of spirituality and devotion of Hospitallers of St. John and Templars to light. It involves the constitution of a reliable corpus. The historiography of the orders of the Hospital of St. John and of the Temple of Jerusalem ought to be severe, before even trying to study by themes iconography of each example of our corpus, which allows comparisons between a site and another one. Willingly lead by the will to connect humanities, striking analogies will be found between monumental narrative art and Byzantine, limousine or from Meuse liturgical furniture and tools. Our research shows that as well as Hospitallers and Templars themselves have been deeply aware of theological debates about sacraments of their time, and have promoted marial virginity dogma without faltering. By the end, the meaning of sculpted and painted programs -Roman or with a Byzantine influence, but still militant- is so homogeneous that an elaborate religious politic can be seen at the head of each order. The question is by whom and with which rank

Full textThe troper-proser BnF N. A. L. 3126 was prepared in the mid-twelfth century for the monastery St. Martin of Nevers which became an Augustinian house in 1143. Two quires were added in the thirteenth century, at the top and the back of the manuscript. Since it was discovered in a private collection in the 1950s, it has interested several scholars, for it comprises a substantial number of proses and troped Ordinary chants of the second epoch, as well as four pieces associated with Abelard. Its repertory attests to connections with many traditions (in particular the cathedral St. Cyr of Nevers, South-West of France, Cluny, East, Notre-Dame de Paris and Saint-Victor). Furthermore, it is the earliest witness to several pieces and the sole witness to some proses and tropes. Our dissertation approaches the manuscript from various points of view : codicological description, study of the musical notation and liturgical assignments, structure of the manuscript. The melodies are carefully studied, for they distinguish themselves by stylistic diversity, thanks to their musical structure, modal conceiving, techniques of melodic development, style and part of their ornaments. Pieces were transcribed and compared with the versions transmitted by eight manuscripts from Nevers’ cathedral, South-West and Paris. Secondary sources were also examined, in order to state precisely some details of analysis. The purpose is to define better the influences of those traditions on the St. Martin repertory and to observe how the Augustinians of Nevers have mastered them to work out their own creations

Full textThe abbey church of La Trinité in Vendôme has never been carefully studied so far. Our purpose was to compensate this lack in the research in history of art. A first part is dedicated to the history of the abbey, of its monastic buildings and the romanesque church first removed in the beginning of the13th century. Then, the archaeological study of the abbey church is followed by the study of the part played by La Trinité in the history of architecture. This way, we could propose a chronology and a dating for its edification as well as showing the importance of this monument in the 13th- and 16th-architectural context. Its exceptional façade can be given to the architect Jean Texier, also known as Jean de Beauce, later known as the "maître des œuvres" of the cathedral of Chartres. His career is similar to the one of his famous contemporary colleague Martin Chambiges. Jean de Beauce appears to be one of the greatest architects of the end of the 15th century. He completed the abbey church of Vendôme, whose first stone had been laid two centuries before

Full textBetween the 1259 Paris Treaty of Bretigny-Calais in 1360, the pays gascon (both lands and people) found itself at the heart of a conflict opposing the king of England (and duke of Aquitaine) and the French king. The baronage and townships were both bound by oaths of homage which had become established under Edward I and were expected to remain faithful to their Duke. During the 1294-1303 war, and despite the French occupation, the consensus support for their legitimate Lord won the day over the Capetien monarchy. However, under the reign of Edward II, loyalties were reversed. Manifold contestation of Ducal authority was followed by the resumption of the 1324 war which resulted in a partition of Gascony. Until 1339, those who vowed allegiance to the French King outnumbered supporters of the Duke ; nevertheless Bordeaux, Bayonne and Dax continued to defend what little remained of the Anglo-Gascon dukedom. It was not until the treaties of 1360 that this latter was returned to Edward III. The choice of allegiance was influenced by the initial geographic situation of the local authorities in power and the effects of the war. In fact, the people's unfaltering attachment to their land led them to lend support either to their legilimate Duke or the French monarchy. Conflict between the Gascon people themselves also provoked antagonism amongst the baronage and township communities. The King-Duke's subjects were awarded large areas of his domain in a effort to guard their loyalty. In comparaison to the other dominions (Wales, Ireland), Brittany or Normandy, the Gascony remained untouched by the encroachment of the Etat moderne in the mid 14th century

Full textThis thesis focuses on the carved micro-architecture of Gothic portals erected in the XIIth and XIIIth centuries in the north of France, that is to say, the miniature architectural representations integrated into the decoration of treshold of the church, an essential element of which they become in the last decades of the XIIth century. The presentation is divided into three parts : the first two are devoted to the formal study of the composition of the XIIth and XIIIth centuries. This chronological approach has allowed a better understanding of the transformation of the vocabulary employed for the design of the micro-architecture, which is manifested in the first quarter of the XIIIth century and is translated by the adoption of the visual grammar of contemporary built architecture, paving the way for dialogue between macro and micro-architecture. This stylistic evolution takes place in a theological and philosophical context marked by new inflections which find their parallel in the artistic creation and that it was neccessary to study. The third part treats questions of function and iconography. The role of the micro-architecture and the supports to which it's materially connected (canopies, arches) is approached on the consideration of its place in the decoration of the portals and the relationship which unites it with the human figure. Its semiotic value is discussed in the light of the message delivered by the ornamentation of the threshold of the church, a privileged support become. The nature of the sculpture in question, mostly unreal and suspended above the holy characters, led the discussion to the theme of the Heavenly Jerusalem, which it can indeed represent

Full textNot much after 1200, Philippe-Auguste, king of France, having finished the conquest of the greatest part of the continental empire of the kings of England of the dynasty of plantagenet, implements a politic of construction characterized as state and army in different places of the kingdom. Besides some walls of town, the realizations of this politics were main towers in form circular, simple and standardized. This choice architectural and asserted meant to express the power and the king's identity places itself according to the terms of a period of experimentaion of the stone-donjons seigniorial and royal with forms centred no squared, which begins about the end of the 11 h century. These experiences are the subject of the thesis. Facing the architectural form classical ; of the romanesque and barlong donjon, established from the year thousand and stable during two centuries, form particular to the lodging of the domicilium and of the public rooms, some dynasters of the island of France give to the stone master-tower of their castle some polygonal and circular forms maintaining a difference of paty that are not enough for justifying the defensive motivation. The forms of the donjon centered not squared diversified and complicated at the 12th century, are soon an alternative adopted in most northern-western regions of France, under the direct influence of the capetian kings or of the kings of England. Among these forms, the shell-keep ; or annular donjon, especially anglo-norman, is a donjon without to be a tower. On the other side of some keeps confined by which the lords of montfort and the counts of dreux maintain their dynastic identity, the second half of the 12th century sees to rise up the cylindric and pure form, used to the same purpose by the count of Blois Thibaud V, big builder and probable Philippe-Auguste's inspirer

Full textJustice, the unchanging duty of the royalship, gave to the Kings of the XII century, the ability to progressively regain their authority throughout the regnum.Louis VI, but more importantly Louis VII whose the reign should be rehabilitated, worked on it pragmatically, dealing with it like a sacred mission received during the coronation ceremony and exercised in their own way for peace. Throughout their reigns, they contributed to the splendor of the following reign of Philippe August.In 1223, royal justice was expressed clearly through the supremacy of the king over his people: his majesty. Royal justice meant more the king’s judicial function. The king had to protect right before the conflicts.The Capetians free jurisdiction extended their leadership over the kingdom, giving charters of confirmation, charters for protecting people and their juridicial acts. The Capetians were zealous in taking care of the weak, in trying hard to alleviate their plight and working for the establishment of social justice. The judicial proceedings in royal court were efficient and made the royal justice very attractive : people believed in the equity of the royal judge’s decisions.The alternative dispute resolution allowed them to restore the concord. The royal judgements showed mercy and clemency -signs of the king’s authority. However it happened he gave severe punishments based on retribution. The subjects claimed for the royal justice royal. Being concerned by their requests, the Capetians honored their royal duty and proved their ability and efficiency for governing. They infused a new political breathe which would make the royal sovereignty great again soon

Full textLaon, a former Carolingian capital, was a highly strategic citadel. Throughout the twelfth century, it remained a royal residence with a consequent cathedral chapter. It was famous for its borough institutions and the high economic development of its countryside. Archives allow revealing close links between the city and its rural areas, evolution of local society, birth and functioning of the borough and building of urban landscape. During the thirteenth century, despite the establishment of the royal bailiwick of Vermandois, the influence of the town was limited. Burgesses did not succeed in extending borough institutions to the Laonnois area. The unfavorable evolution of local economy caused a crisis which appeared after 1240. Serious conflicts between clergy and burgesses obliged the king to suppress borough institutions (1331)

Full textDespite its centrality in the Parisian area, the chapter of Notre-Dame de Paris has remained absent from the recent historiographical focus on medieval sources. Convoking the methods of textual archaeology and the problems of the history of writing practices, this thesis explores the chapter's relationship to the documentation it produces and preserves at the time of the quantitative and qualitative revolution of the 13th century. Revisiting the emergence of the chapter chancery, it studies the evolution of its production and functioning between the 12th and the 13th centuries and it analyses the relationship it has with the new writing offices that are set up in the cathedral around 1210: the officialities.The history of chapter writing studied in this thesis is also that of its long-term preservation, from the chests and cartularies of the 13th century to the confiscation of the archives during the French Revolution.The study of writing practices makes it possible to reflect more broadly on the social and political stakes of institutional affirmation and appropriation of the territory specific to a long 13th century
Hayot, Denis. "L'architecture fortifiée capétienne au XIIIème siècle." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040167.
Full textUnder Philip Augustus reign, a new form of fortified architecture, founded in particular on the use of circular towers with arrow loops, rose and spread across the territory under the capetian crown’s sphere of influence, in both royal and non-royal buildings. This « capetian » architecture would become the norm until the end of Louis IX’s reign. Historically, this architectural phenomenon was part of the capetian crown’s rise; the crown found in fortification a way to control and secure the territory it dominated, especially under Philip Augustus who multiplied constructions across the kingdom. Royal power, however, also manifested itself in the crown’s control over feudatories’ architectural activity, effectively limiting the use of capetian architecture to the crown’s allies. Our analysis shows that this architecture’s inception and evolution were the result of interactions between royal and non-royal spheres, and not merely, as previously thought, the result of a hypothetical royal « model » copied everywhere. Royal architecture nonetheless played an important role in the phenomenon, in particular under the reign of Philip Augustus, when the crown progressively developed a highly standardized architecture, which became the expression of the new royal power and of the integration of the kingdom's multiple cities with an emerging state organization

Full textFrom the end of the Hungarian invasions, in the second third of the 10th Century, until 1300, a growing number of private fortifications was built in Alsace. This phenomenon was represented by dozens of castles, ruins of which punctuate from North to South the eastern side of the Vosges Mountains and stirred up the curiosity of many archaeologists for more than one century. The history of their construction, or "art of building", considered as secondary for a long time, improved thanks to the archaeological studies of elevations. These researches enable to show information relating to the organisation of a building-yard and the management of materials, thanks to the documentation of the different stages of building. The Vosges massif being divided into a sandstone part in the North and a granite part in the South, geological or chemical studies open new fields of knowledge (composition of mortars, stone selection for the facing of wall...). Built upon a well visible summit, the castle gathered the functions of private residence and public defence, so its walls were designed to fit military and residential requirements at best

Full textHow did an urban society like the Flemish town of Douai deal with the written word in the 13th century? Up to then, archives were very rare, but at that time a documentary boom can be observed with nearly 2,200 acts of legal practice, several aldermen’s registers, accounts…The written word had become a required tool of social life, which had been changed drastically by it. Based on the experience of the “1st revolution of the written word” at the end of the 11th century, this deep socio-cultural mutation took place in two stages: one characterized by intensification, opening to lay people and to vernacular language (“2nd revolution of the writtenword”, circa 1170-1240), the other by large-scale intensification, typological diversification and social diffusion of literacy (“3rd revolution of the written word”, circa 1250-1300). Trying to take into account the various agents and users of the written word, this work focuses on the 1,300 preserved aldermen’s chirographs, of which the first stages of a total history (making, using and storing) are sketched out. Those acts of voluntary jurisdiction issued from the burgher elite had become commonplace at the end of the 13th century so as to reach social groups thought to be closed to literacy

Full textThe cathedral of cahors presents two main eras in its building, two styles which, far from being in harmony with each other, seem to be in conflict : the romanesque age with its two domes and its north door, the gothic age with the high parts of its apse, its vault, and its western work. Whereas the romanesque cathedral is considered as one of the masterpieces of this type of architecture with domes, on the other hand, for the gothic age, it is only a minor edifice, the western work of which, particularly austere, could only conceal the romanesque architecture. Such is the effect given by the nineteenth century restoration that eventually chose to bring the domes into sight. Now, the study of the stages in the renovation of the cathedral from 1280 to 1324 reveals that the gothic age didn't offer a succession of alterations; on the contrary, its reshaping fitted in a coherent plan, a search of harmony and unity that can be apprehended thanks to the topographic analyses of the canonic district, the research work on the development of litugical functions, and the study of the architecture of the western work. Besides, its renovation, in regard to the religious, political and architectural context, is in keeping with the filiation of jean deschamps's cathedrals, and adapts to the southern architecture favoured by the romanesque cathedral : this assumption is supported by the presence of pierre

Full textThe wall-painting that embrace the apse of the cathedral of angers were discovered in 1980 and have not yet been the object of a scientific publication. They are studied here for the first time from several points of view. Their iconography in a series of twenty scenes, traces the life of a local bishop-saint, Maurille, for whom we have had only single representations up until now. Their style is also original because it represents a current of gothic monumental painting for which only a few isolated and much less expensive examples have been preserved. Moreover, their mode of execution is exceptional, as these paintings are constructed with rich and varied pigments and with a binding medium containing oil and resin, both unusual in the thirteenth century. The results of our analyses of these main elements, combined with a study of the historical and religious conditions surrounding the genesis of the cycle, tend to converge, for this otherwise undated work, on the years 1255-1260

Full textThis study aims at showing the evolution of sepulchres and at analysing different burial places and populations burried in Paris between the 13th and 15th century through the funerary inscriptions listed in the collection : the Épitaphier du vieux Paris. Religious establishments of the capital city can be identified through their funerary policies and through the treatment of their secular sepulchres. Non-existent until the 13th century, ad ecclesiam burials become more widespread and remain at the centre of places of worships. As a result of the significant evolution of funerary practices, new social groups of influence have access to presitigious sepulchres.Royal and governmental officers who now rest by the royal family and ecclesiasts sides originated the expansion of funerary chapels for families in churches of the capital city. Despite its increasing influence on the economic and political life of the capital city, the « bourgeoisie » still faces hardships in forcing itself on the funerary area and remains in the shadow of the so-called royal officers. The burial location is of a major importance for most wealthy Parisians who show their generosity towards religious communities so then their graves can be placed as close as possible from the altar and get masses and prayers that can guarantee their salvation. Indeed, as proven through the accurate analysis of tombs and epitaphs of Paris, salvation for the dead is at the core of funerary representations. Graves must appeal the living to pray but also share the memory of life on earth and reveal the social place of the deceased

Full textIn 1274, after a 45 years period of conflicts, the papacy obtains from the king of France the cession of the " Comtat Venaissin ". This work tries to emphasize the way the papacy settled down a form of government that enabled to keep that territory under its control until the French Revolution. In the first part, policies of archives' production and conservation are considered both as a sign of the institutional evolutions of the Apostolical Chamber and of the Venaissin's court –institutions in charge of the Venaissin's government – and as a way to follow the path that permitted to insure papal domination on that territory. The second part focuses on papal officers' point of view, trying to determinate what experience and knowledge they had of that territory, what missions they where appointed to and to evaluate the level of papal revenues they had to collect, also considering the links between papal revenues and the local economic trend and taking account of economic changes that might have occured because of papal settlement in Avignon. The third part is devoted to the study of interactions between the papacy and other local institutions that pretended to exercise part of the domination on the land and of the government of the populations. Though differently involved, these actors were all part of a main plan that aimed to organize a new society based on the relationship between papacy and its subjects

Full text"The King in his Duchy": by referring, by analogy, to the famous 13th century formula according to which "the King of France is emperor of his kingdom", this study clearly seeks to identify the elements of the royal "presence" in Brittany during what historiography calls "the Capetian golden age". It also aims to assess the integration of the Brittany principality and its aristocracy into the Kingdom of France, before proposing a territorial translation using the cartographic approach. The case of Brittany is all the more interesting in that it underwent profound dynastic upheavals at the beginning of the 13th century: it went from plantagenet domination to that of the Capetians, with the arrival of Pierre de Dreux on the ducal throne in 1213. More generally, the reflection aims to understand how a principality such as Brittany fits into the process of building the Royal State patiently implemented by the Capetian sovereigns from Philippe Auguste to Charles IV. It can be observed in many areas : judicial and jurisdictional, fiscal and monetary, and finally, military. This approach is based on the analysis of the actors' game: the nobles and the breton and non-breton clergymen, the Duke of Brittany, the King of France and his officers whose activity on the ducal territory is remarkable. On the territorial level, the weight of this integration makes itpossible to establish a tripartition of the duchy between a north whose proximity to the royal power is important; an eastern part which takes advantage of its proximity with other principalities of the kingdom to forge solid links, in particular with important angevins and poitevins lineages ; finally, a south more distant from the royal power

Full textAlphonse of Poitiers, count of Poitiers and Toulouse, brother of the king of France Louis IX, rules the most important principality of the realm in the middle of XIIIth century. Despites this and because of the charisma of his brother, historians were never very interested in studying him. Many sources are available and published for most. Still they are not been used very often or at least barely to study the administration of the prince in detail. These documents had been mostly designed to manage the domain (writs, accounts, feudal registers) and show how worked the different parts of the administration in charge of it. The fact that we have no equivalent in the archives for the royal domain since the accounts burned in 1737 gives to these documents their utmost value.This thesis tries to renew part of what we know about the count of Poitiers, and claims in particulary for a global approach of his administration. The purpose is not only to describe the precise duty of every officers, but to understand the intellectual ground on which the domanial administration is based. The demonstration follows a logicial division between the prince, his local administration and his central administration in order to deal with three aspects of the same question : political or ideological issues, balance between the prince and local elites, the ressources (people and documents) used to rule. Because sources are too abundant, the local administration is mostly studied in Poitou and Saintonge only. A great part is dedicated to the accounts which are at the very heart of this work. Besides the study and the appendices, the thesis is made of a thick edition of almost all the domanial accounts of the prince, except those which concern the southern part of the principality. These archives are the only ones known in France which are complete enough to allow a real understanding of the capetian accounts process. This study gives an interpretation of the mechanisms and conception of this process

Full textThe Western portals of Poitiers cathedral have been studied from the double point of view of their strucure and their sculptures' style. After crossing the results of these enquiries, an hypothesis has been proposed concerning their chronology and their sculptors' provenance and culture. The portals would have been realised in two phases : c. 1255-1260 the basement and from c. 1265 their upper sections ; a design change could have occured between these two phases. Working would have lasted until 1280s and the portals never have been fully completed, as some clear traces show. Three sculptors came from the workshop of Charrous abbey church portal (our chronology for them : post 1255 c. - ante 1270) ; they brought with them some models having already served there and they created at the cathedral a workshop with other sculptors of different origins and quality. They all shared as their main cultural reference Parisian sculpture of the years 1240-1275
