This article analyses the relevance of the Kingdom of Seville in these texts. We will see that the Italians considered Seville the main centre of trade in the Crown of Castile, and to be the hub of an extensive commercial network that stretched from Byzantium and the Maghreb to Flanders, including Italy and the Crown of Aragon.

Les modèles royaux dans la poésie anglaise de la fin du Moyen Âge

Dans ce cadre, il est important de comprendre ce que représentait le roi pour ses sujets, de comprendre comment ils ont pu composer avec l’importance de la personne royale en prenant en compte la réalité des faits, par exemple les changements de dynasties. La littérature politique de la période, abondante, consitue une porte d’entrée privilégiée en la matière ; si la figure royale y est essentielle, elle connaît cependant des évolutions importantes, qui témoignent aussi de la volonté de dialogue de la société politique anglaise.

This database is limited to the Third Crusade era (1187-1197 AD). Ultimately, I would like this database project to cover all of the Crusades and to have a permanent (university-based) internet home.

A more polished database is currently under construction -- it includes a "wiki" so that any researcher may add or edit information, a standardized ratings scale for source reliability, more in-depth "mouvance" information, and more bibliographical citations. Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcomed!

If you would like to help construct or host this database, please contact me!

Bede’s Perspective and Purpose in the Ecclesiastical History of the English People

by Chip Schroeder

Bede was first given the title of ‘Venerable’ at the Council of Aachen in 836, was canonized a millennium later by the Catholic Church in 1899. He is the only Englishman with the title of Doctor of the Church. Bede’s accomplishment is worthy of its praise, but his book is not an infallible record of history. Faith in his historical description of people, places, and events should be tempered with knowledge of Bede’s perspective and purpose. Bede’s main objectives in the Ecclesiastical History were to describe the dissemination of Christianity in Britain and the unification of English churches with the universal Catholic Church. To support his account, Bede frequently included miracles and hagiographical anecdotes, which he believed functioned as hard evidence of God’s support of the spread of Christianity in England. In the later part of the History, which details the controversy between Celtic and Catholic Christians, Bede tailors his account to praise conformity with Roman Catholic doctrine and practice. With recognition of Bede’s perspective and purpose, Bede remains a lamp to our feet and a light to our path in examining the history of English Christianity.
