Nobility and Kingship in Medieval England is a major new account of the relationship between Edward I and his earls, and of the role of the English nobility in thirteenth-century governance. Re-evaluating crown-noble relations of the period, Spencer challenges traditional interpretations of Edward's reign, showing that his reputed masterfulness has been overplayed and that his kingship was far subtler, and therefore more effective, than this stereotype would suggest. Drawing from key earldoms such as Lincoln, Lancaster, Cornwall and Warenne, the book reveals how nobles created local followings and exercised power at a local level as well as surveying the political, governmental, social and military lives of the earls, prompting us to rethink our perception of their position in thirteenth-century politics. Adopting a powerful revisionist perspective, Spencer presents a major new statement about thirteenth-century England; one which will transform our understanding of politics and kingship in the period.

Late medieval and early modern Scottish history has seen much recent work on 'kingship' and 'lordship'. But the 15th century and the 16th century are usually studied separately. This book brings them together in a fitting collection in tribute to Jenny Wormald, one of the few scholars to bridge this divide. Inspired by Jenny's work, the contributors tackle questions including: How far can medieval themes such as 'lordship' function in the late 16th-century world of Reformation and state formation? How did the Scottish realm fit into wider British and European patterns? What did it mean for Scotland to be a 'medieval' kingdom, and when did it cease to be one? The volume contains detailed studies of particular episodes alongside thematic pieces which cover longer periods, while some chapters also range beyond Scotland. It takes stock of the continuities and contrasts between medieval and early modern Scotland, and challenges traditional demarcations between these two periods.? Key Features * Novel bridging of separate periods in Scottish history *Cutting edge work by leading scholars *Sets Scotland in a broader context

Thème secondaire, mais thème constamment présent dans la littérature poétique ancienne, la richesse et la pauvreté méritaient une étude systématique de leur vocabulaire, et de son emploi. Le lexique de la pauvreté et de la richesse en poésie s'organise essentiellement dans l'opposition entre trois termes abstraits pour la richesse (aphenos, olhns et piaulas) et un pour la pauvreté (penia) : il apparaît donc que l'un des champs lexicaux est privilégié au détriment de l'autre et que la misère matérielle n'avait que peu de place dans la littérature poétique ancienne. Les nuances sémantiques et les variations stylistiques entre aphenos, richesse de prestige, ()Ibos, "bonne" richesse aux connotations divines et aristocratiques, et ploulos, richesse "mauvaise", mortelle, corruptrice et barbare, nous renseignent sur les représentations, notamment entre Grecs et Barbares, et sur leurs évolutions, qui rappellent la montée de la bourgeoisie, notamment industrielle, dans l'occident contemporain, avec la même opposition entre ancienne et nouvelle richesse. Le lexique de la pauvreté, avec penia, reste rare, comme attendu dans une littérature surtout aristocratique, avec les exceptions de Théognis, aristocrate victime de la révolution démocratique, ou Euripide, et Aristophane, qui s'intéressent aux questions de société, et surtout à l'isolement social, affectif, et politique du pauvre. Enfin le p<<ïchos (le mendiant) comporte les mêmes éléments, mépris et exclusion, mais avec la dimension folklorique du "dieu déguisé", et le déguisement d'Ulysse lors de son retour, mythe célèbre qui connaît de nombreuses variations, notamment chez Sophocle et Euripide. Par l'analyse de toutes les occurrences de ces mots dans les plus grands textes de la littérature grecque antique (épopée, lyrisme, poésie tragique), cet ouvrage apporte non seulement la compréhension du statut de la richesse et de la pauvreté dans l'antiquité, niais permet une meilleure compréhension des textes, de leurs enjeux et de leurs intentions.
