Abstract

This is the first serious comprehensive study of the gentry from the Norman Conquest to the present day. It presents a rounded picture of a social group who once formed the political and administrative backbone of England. In their heyday the gentry owned over half of all the country's land. From it they derived enormous power and social prestige. Ownership of land brought them not only control of agriculture (when farming was by far the country's largest economic activity), but also involvement in the development of coalmining, iron-working and other industrial activities, and in the development of transport. Professor Mingay shows how they came to acquire this power ; how they used it ; and how it eventually passed from them. He also looks at their social origins, their education, and their distinctive life-style ; and also pays particular attention to their role as magistrates and county administrators, including the controversial question of the part played in the overthrow of absolute monarchy in the Great Rebellion.

Abstract

À l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance de la reine Astrid, des historiens ont relevé le défi d'approfondir certains aspects de sa personnalité. Dès son arrivée en Belgique, Astrid fut accueillie avec un enthousiasme débordant, cristalisant aussitôt autour de sa personne le mythe qui portera son nom. C'est précisément ce mythe que tentent de décortiquer les auteurs. L'ouvrage analyse la représentation photographique des portraits où Astrid pose seule, en couple, ou encore en famille. Il s'attarde à sa représentation par le biais des œuvres sculptées. On s'attache à remettre en lumière l'engagement social de la Reine principalement au profit des déshérités, des femmes et de la petite enfance. Le livre essaie également d'expliquer le cheminement spirituel d'Astrid qui, luthérienne de naissance, se convertit finalement au catholicisme. La présence d'Astrid est étudiée au fil de ses activités publiques comme duchesse de Brabant, comme Reine ensuite : Joyeuses Entrées, inaugurations, festivités, visites princières ou royales. Au cours de ses déplacements, le goût d'Astrid pour la mode ne passa pas inaperçu. Enfin, une description du landau qui transporta le couple royal aux grandes occasions complète ce vaste tableau sur les aspects méconnus de la vie de la Reine.
