Assim, parecem-nos bastante esquecidos pela crítica os escritos hagiográficos em prosa desse autor. O presente estudo pretende sob um ângulo que nos sugere ainda insuficientemente considerado, devido ao vasto campo de estudos que permitem as referidas fontes documentais analisar a adaptação hagiográfica de uma idealizada identidade episcopal construída em favor dos bispos gauleses do último quarto do sexto século, que pretendiam utilizar as imagens dos santos predecessores que ocuparam as suas respectivas sés, para afirmarem e/ou construírem sua autoridade religiosa e política frente à sua comunidade de fiéis e às autoridades públicas do reino franco. / Venantius Fortunatus is well represented in bibliographical collections, but most literature concentrates on his poetic production. As a consequence, little attention has been paid to his hagiographyc writings in prose. This work intends to analyse –even if it is from a still insufficiently developed perspective, due to the vast array of studies that these documental sources may prompt-- how Gaulish bishops' of the last quarter of the sixth century built an idealized Episcopal identity through the images of those saints who had previously occupied their respective cathedrals. This was done in order to build up and/or strengthen their religious and political authority before their community of faithful and the public authorities of the Frankish kingdom.

A liberdade religiosa foi uma das questões mais debatidas no século 17 na Inglaterra. Esse problema estava intimamente relacionado com o do alcance da jurisdição civil ou, ainda, da relação entre o poder civil e o poder eclesiástico. John Locke participou ativamente das discussões da época e dedicou vários escritos ao tema, incluídos os Two Tracts on Government, o Essay concerning Toleration e as Letters concerning Toleration. Mas foi somente nestas últimas que o filósofo deu a forma final aos argumentos em defesa da tolerância que influenciaram toda a modernidade. Nelas encontramos a separação da Igreja e do Estado, pela diferenciação entre a finalidade, o objeto e os instrumentos comunidade política e da comunidade eclesiástica. Além disso, nelas identificamos a argumentação relativa à ineficácia da força para persuadir e à impossibilidade de se mostrar publicamente o conhecimento da verdadeira religião, que contribuem para excluir de uma vez por todas o direito do magistrado de impor uma religião oficial. O objetivo principal desta dissertação é expor e analisar esses argumentos, desde sua gênese até sua elaboração final, para mostrar as bases racionais e o alcance prático da doutrina lockiana da tolerância. / Religious freedom was one of the most controversial issues in the seventeenth century in England. Such matter was closely related to the extension problem of the civil jurisdiction or, yet, to the relation between civil power and the ecclesiastic power. John Locke actively participated in debates of the time and dedicated numerous pieces of writing to the theme. We can point out, among them, Two Tracts on Government, Essay concerning Toleration, Letters concerning Toleration. But it was only in the latter the philosopher gave the final form to the arguments in defense of the toleration, therefore, influencing modernity as a whole. Separation of Church and Estate can then be found in those letters due to the political and ecclesiastic communities differences in aims, objects and instruments. Besides, the arguments for inefficiency of power to persuade as well as for the impossibility of showing publicly the knowledge of the true religion can be identified in such letters, what contributes to the radical exclusion of the magistrate right to impose an official religion. The main objective of this essay is to expose and to analyze those arguments, from their geneses to their final elaboration, to show the rational bases and the practical reach of the lockean doctrine of toleration.

Les albigeois sont des fidèles d’une hérésie médiévale qui s’est amplement développée dans le sud de la France et a disparu vers le XIVe siècle à cause de la croisade albigeoise et de la poursuite de l’Inquisition. Mais curieusement, ils se sont placés de nouveau au centre du débat catholiques-protestants deux siècles plus tard, car les savants de l’époque croyaient qu’ils étaient les ancêtres des protestants français. Du XVIe au XVIIe siècle, même jusqu’au XVIIIe siècle, la divergence entre les catholiques et les protestants donne lieu à des affrontements dans presque tous les domaines, tandis que, paradoxalement, ils se rencontrent dans l’idée de la filiation albigeois-protestants. Ce phénomène est en rapport étroit avec les stratégies apologétique des deux camps antagonistes d’alors et aussi avec les circonstances religieuses, politiques, voire sociales de la France depuis la Réforme. Les défenseurs de l’Église traditionnelle puisent leur inspiration dans l’histoire de la croisade albigeoise et veulent, en la citant comme exemple, écraser leurs ennemis. Les protestants font également attention à cette histoire, mais ce qu’ils y découvrent, ce sont la résonance produite par les persécutions semblables à celles de l’ancienne époque et une opportunité potentielle dont ils pourraient profiter pour augmenter leur chance de succès dans la controverse, surtout en ce qui concerne la question de la généalogie protestante. Ainsi, les albigeois sont peu à peu intégrés dans l’histoire du protestantisme français. Pourtant, cette généalogie, bien qu’elle se diffuse largement, ne peut pas s’éterniser dans l’Histoire, puisqu’au demeurant, elle est une production imaginaire et, à partir du milieu du XIXe siècle, elle disparaît progressivement. / The albigensian movement was a Christian heresy which arose in southern France in the High Middle Ages and disappeared in the fourteenth century. However, during the sixteenth century, this heresy was generally considered as the forerunner of French Protestantism. At that time, the Catholics and the Protestants were antagonistic in regards to almost every topic, but strangely they held identical views towards the “genealogy” between the albigensians and the Protestants. This phenomenon is closely related to the political and religious situation and the polemical strategies of the two sides in France since the Reformation. The Catholics are inspired by the albigensian crusade to eliminate the heretics. As for the Protestants, on one hand, the albigensians’ persecution facilitates reflection on their own experience; on the other hand, it provides an opportunity for them to turn adversity and defeat into victory in the conflict with the Catholics. Since then, the albigensian history is integrated into the history of the French protestant church. But, this genealogy, although it is widely spread, could not continue to be taken in History, because it is after all an imagination.

The origins of kingship have typically been accepted as a natural or inevitable development by scholars. The purpose of this thesis is to question that assumption. This work will re-examine the origins of early Anglo-Saxon kingship through a coherent and systematic survey of the available and pertinent archaeological and historical sources, addressing them by type, by period and as their varying natures require. The thesis begins with the archaeological evidence. ‘Elite’ burials, such as Mound One, Sutton Hoo, will be ranked according to their probability of kingliness. This process will point to elite burial as being a regionally-specific, predominately-seventh-century, phenomenon of an ideologically-aware, sophisticated and established political institution. Consequently, elite burial cannot be seen as an indication of the origins of kingship, but can instead be interpreted as a development or experiment within kingship. Analysis of ‘elite’ settlements, such as Yeavering, and numismatic evidence, will lead to similar conclusions. Further, consideration of various other settlement types – former Roman military sites in Northern Britain, former Roman Towns, and enclosed settlements – will point to various potential origins of Anglo-Saxon kingship in the form of continuities with previous Roman, Romano-British or British power structures. The thesis will go on to consider the historical sources. Those of the fifth and sixth centuries, primarily Gildas’s De excidio et conquestu Britanniae, point to several factors of note. The cessation of formal imperial rule over Britain following c.410 effectively created a power vacuum. Various new sources of political power are observable attempting to fill this vacuum, one of which, ultimately, was kingship. Through analogy with contemporary British kingdoms, it is possible to suggest that this development of kingship in England may be placed in the early sixth, if not the fifth, centuries. This would make the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingship significantly earlier than typically thought. This kingship was characterised by the conduct of warfare, its dependence on personal relationships, and particularly by its varying degrees of status and differing manifestations of power covered by the term king. Further details will be added to this image through the narrative and documentary sources of the seventh and early eighth centuries. These predominately shed light on the subsequent development of kingship, particularly its growing association with Christianity. Indeed, the period around c.600 can be highlighted as one of notable change within Anglo-Saxon kingship. However, it is possible to point to the practice of food rents, tolls and the control of resources serving as an economic foundation for kingship, while legal intervention and claimed descent from gods also provide a potential basis of power. Several characteristics of seventh- and early-eighth-century kingship will also be highlighted as being relevant to its origins – the conduct of warfare and the exercise of over-kingship – relating to the general propensity for amalgamation through conquest. Other trajectories are also highlighted, specifically continuity from previous Roman and British entities and the development of ‘pop-up’ kingdoms. The overall result is one in which long-term amalgamation and short-term disintegration and re-constitution were equally in evidence, set against the wider context of broad regional continuities. Overall, therefore, the thesis will not fully resolve the issue of the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingship, but it does offer a means to re-frame discussion, explore the social and economic underpinnings of kingship and assess its primacy as an institution within early Anglo-Saxon England.

(in English): The main aim of this diploma thesis is to bring an edition of so called reports of parsons (relationes parochorum) of Radonice vicarage from the years 1676/77. In connection with that the thesis describes the origin of this historical source and the territorial development of Radonice vicarage from 1630/31 to the year 1700. The rest of the thesis focuses on some partial aspects of the relation between parsons and their patrons (privat chapells, reports on non-catholics and public sinners, parish schools).
