The Milites Baroli censused in the Catalogus Baronum constitute the beginning of this study on the formation, characteristics and evolution about lordship powers in the Ofanto Valley and particularly in the city of Barletta between the Norman and early Angevin age. Through a focused and complex rereading of the existing documents, the volume analyzes the structure of the Barletta society with particular attention to its military and political élite and to the relationship with central power. Structured during the XII century consequently the intervention of the Norman crown, for the southern sovereigns the milites of Barletta organized and controlled the Ofanto Valley, favoring the unification of the Apulian center with civitas and the bishopric of Canne. Strongly put to the test in the secular relationship with the crown, the élite of the Apulian city is here probed through the study of prosopographic profiles and the pervasiveness of the power used by main local military families. In this point of view, is analyzed both the relationship established from time to time with the ecclesiastical foundations of Outremer and with the Holy Land, and the quality of the intervention in the main places of political and religious power and the characteristics of supremacy. In that sense, particular attention is focused on the dynamics of the conflict, hidden in the city society, as a basic element for understanding the inner workings of power in the local and supralocal context. In this way, the volume is part of the debate on the social and political structure of the cities in the south of Italy and on the aristocratic powers in the Kingdom of Sicily, of which Barletta is a complex and very interesting case. I Milites Baroli censiti nel Catalogus Baronum costituiscono il punto di partenza di questa indagine sulla formazione, le caratteristiche e l’evoluzione dei poteri signorili nella Valle dell’Ofanto e nella città di Barletta tra età normanna e primo angioina, con particolare attenzione all’élite militare e politica territoriale e alle sue relazioni con i sovrani del Regno. Per essi a lungo i casati locali organizzarono e controllarono il territorio ofantino, favorendo il sinecismo esercitato da Barletta nei confronti della vicina Canne. L’Autore riflette sulla pervasività del potere signorile, sul rapporto dell’élite locale con le fondazioni ecclesiastiche d’Oltremare e la Terrasanta, sulle peculiarità dell’intervento esercitato dai principali casati nei luoghi del potere politico e religioso e sulle caratteristiche della preminenza. Particolare attenzione è posta nei confronti delle dinamiche del conflitto, latente nella società cittadina, come elemento fondamentale per la comprensione del funzionamento dei meccanismi del potere in ambito locale e sovralocale. Il volume si inserisce in questo modo nel dibattito sulla struttura sociale e politica delle città dell’Italia meridionale e sui poteri signorili nel Regno di Sicilia normanno, svevo e primo angioino, di cui Barletta costituisce un caso complesso e di grande interesse.

The most up-to-date research in the period from the Anglo-Saxons to Angevins. The latest volume of the Haskins Society Journal presents recent research on the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and Angevin worlds broadly conceived, and includes topics ranging from the origins of Welsh law and the evidence for the development of the chivalric tournament in the Norman chroniclers to the use of saints to cement regional power, the reception of Dudo of St Quentin, the regional divides in the Norman Kingdom of Sicily, and more. The volume is particularly noteworthy for several studies that bring together historical and archaeological evidence in new and challenging ways. Contributors: DOMINIQUE BARTHELEMY, ROBIN CHAPMAN STACEY, ROBIN FLEMING, BERNARD BACHRACH, AUSTIN MASON, ALECIA ARCEO, PETER BURKHOLDER, PAUL OLDFIELD, KATHERINE LACK, SAMANTHA HERRICK, NICOLE MARAFIOTI, DAVID BACHRACH.

Encyclopedia of Medieval Royal Iconography” sets out to be the first extensive collection of data on royal iconography from the Middles Ages (476–1492). In particular, it aims to collect entries about the most important rulers or dynasties that reigned during this period, from the Iberian Peninsula to Levant and from the Scandinavian Peninsula to the Mediterranean Sea. Specifically, “Encyclopedia of Medieval Royal Iconography” focuses on royal official images (namely, those representations that were commissioned at the behest of the ruler) and analyses them not only from an iconographic (namely, ‘static’) point of view but also as parts of a more general political communicative strategy (namely, in a ‘dynamic’ way) in order to better clarify their social functions and, consequently, their iconographic meanings. Thanks to this approach, “Encyclopedia of Medieval Royal Iconography” aims to offer a substantial overview on matters of medieval regal iconography and to be a useful tool for scholars who use royal images for their research.
