Abstract

Homicide has a history. In early modern England, that history saw two especially notable developments: one, the emergence in the sixteenth century of a formal distinction between murder and manslaughter, made meaningful through a lighter punishment than death for the latter, and two, a significant reduction in the rates of homicides individuals perpetrated on each other. 0'Making Murder Public' explores connections between these two changes. It demonstrates the value in distinguishing between murder and manslaughter, or at least in seeing how that distinction came to matter in a period which also witnessed dramatic drops in the occurrence of homicidal violence. Focused on the 'politics of murder', 'Making Murder Public' examines how homicide became more effectively criminalized between 1480 and 1680, with chapters devoted to coroners' inquests,0appeals and private compensation, duels and private vengeance, and print and public punishment. The English had begun moving away from treating homicide as an offence subject to private settlements or vengeance long before other Europeans, at least from the twelfth century. What happened in the early modern period was, in some ways, a continuation of processes long underway, but intensified and refocused by developments from 1480 to 1680. 0'Making Murder Public' argues that homicide became fully 'public' in these years, with killings seen to violate a 'king's peace' that people increasingly conflated with or subordinated to the 'public peace' or 'public justice.'

Abstract

The idea of a dialogue - sometimes harmonious, sometimes divisive - between the centre and periphery of the early modern European state stands at the heart of much of John Elliott's historical writing. It is the fulcrum around which his Imperial Spain revolves, and it lies at the heart of his analysis of the causes of the revolt of the Catalans against the centralising policies of the Madrid government. His writings on the Americas, such as The Old World and the New, likewise stressed the relationship between centre and periphery. This collection of essays by a group of Elliott's former students examines different aspects of this important theme and develops them. Taken together with the 'personal appreciation' of Elliott (Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford), it forms an important examination of the work of the greatest living historian of Spain as well as a major contribution to early modern European history.

Abstract

Au XVIe siècle, s'établit, dans l'espace culture français, la hiérachie qui prévaut encore de nos jours entre le français, langue haute comme le latin, et les langues réputées basses. Cette marginalisation de la différence linguistique se heurte à la réalité de terrain pour l'Eglise de la Contre-Réforme qui développe des stratégies différentes selon les régions.

Abstract

Op basis van onuitgegeven archieven in vijf Europese landen behandelt de auteur leden, organisatie, bevoegdheden en algemene politiek van de Raad van State, Geheime Raad en Raad van Financiën in de Habsburgse Nederlanden tussen 1576 en 1610. Als vorstelijke domestici behoorden de raadsleden tot de Hofhouding en konden zij de juridische machtsmiddelen van de landsheer in zelfstandige jurisdicties vormgeven. Vooral na 1598 echter beperkte een omvangrijke door Filips III van Spanje benoemde Hofhouding de onafhankelijkheid van Albert en Isabella. De 'co-soevereine' aartshertog werd in 1605 door de Spaanse regering uit zijn militaire prerogatieven ontslagen. Sindsdien voerde hoveling Spínola feitelijk het opperbevel in rechtstreekse relatie met Filips III en zijn valido, de hertog van Lerma. De drie Raden in de Habsburgse Nederlanden verloren hun greep op de aartshertogelijke krijgs- en pacificatiestrategie
