This thesis re-evaluates the chronology of Lower Normandy’s integration into the duchy growing around Rouen from the tenth century onwards. The introduction argues that modern accounts of Normandy’s development remain dependent on the works of Dudo of Saint-Quentin and Flodoard of Rheims. Difficulties with these authors and alternative approaches to Normandy’s early history are identified. It is argued that regional distinctions throughout the later duchy hindered efforts to bring about political cohesion. Chapters One and Two identify the ninth-century Breton occupation and early tenth-century Scandinavian settlement of Lower Normandy as the twin sources of ongoing regional divisions. The early dukes’ interest in and influence over the west are also called into question. Chapters Three and Four instead posit that ducal interest in Lower Normandy was a product of the late tenth century, with direct intervention following in the favourable circumstances of the early eleventh century. Ducal success in this period depended upon the co-operation of regional aristocrats and ecclesiastical institutions and continuing constraints on Rouen’s influence and authority are emphasised. Chapter Five argues that Robert the Magnificent was a more assertive ruler, who actively strengthened ducal authority in Lower Normandy in spite of renewed opposition. Chapter Six considers how rebellion against William the Conqueror in 1047 reveals growing local interest in the conduct of ducal government. Victory allowed William to consolidate ducal authority in Lower Normandy, encouraging further expansion beyond its borders. Local landholders, however, resultantly received little direct ducal patronage, including scant reward in the post-Conquest settlement of England. In conclusion, while Lower Normandy had been brought firmly under ducal control by 1087, it is argued that it was only under William’s son, Henry I, that the region’s aristocrats acquired any major influence over ducal policy and secured an equal position within the wider Anglo-Norman nobility.

Ma recherche de doctorat propose d’examiner en parallèle l’existence possible de “signes de royauté“ présents en Italie méridionale dans les territoires de la Campanie, du Samnium, de la Lucanie (Basilicate) et de la Messapie (Pouilles). Le choix de telles zones d'intérêt est motivé par la présence de groupes indigènes cohabitant avec lesnouvelles réalités grecques, à savoir les colonies de la Grande Grèce. Bien conscient du grand problème historique (par exemple le manque de sources écrites indigènes sur ce thème) et archéologique (quels sont effectivement les signes pour identifier une royauté d’acception grecque et/ou comment les distinguer de ceux liés au monde indigène ? ), le présent sujet s’est formé en partant d’une idée et d’une volonté de Pierre Charlier : analyser et étudier les témoignages archéologiques de ces manifestations de pouvoir qui pouvaient être reconnues comme des signes de royautés, en les plaçant dans un contexte historique précis, riche de sources d’origine grecque mais pauvre du point de vue indigène. Son travail, “La Royauté en Grèce avant Alexandre”, en analysant un contexte social divers sur un arc chronologique ample, a été le point de départ de cette recherche, qui avait pour objectif de compléter ce panorama géographique, en incluant l’Italie du sud et la Grande Grèce. Au cours de l’enquête et sur la base des données recueillies dans les différentes zones géographiques prises en considération, il est apparu que les sources littéraires et autre productions de nature indigène pouvant se référer explicitement une royauté indigène manquent presque totalement et que les uniques attestations d’un point de vue historique sont donc d’origine grecque. / My research aims to examine from the archaeological record organization of power elites indigenous ee of what we might call "signs of royalty" present in Southern Italy in the territories which the Campania, the Sannio, the Lucania (Basilicata ) and essapia (Apulia). Well aware of the great historical problem (for example, the almost total lack of indigenous written sources on the subject) and archaeological (which are actually signs to identify a royalty of meaning Greek and / or how to distinguish them from those rather linked to indigenous world) the This argument has gone thus forming from an idea and the will of Pierre Carlier to analyze and document the archaeological evidence of these manifestations of power that could be recognized as signs of royalty setting them in a specific historical period rich sources of Greek origin but poor in terms of indigenous. His work "The royauté en Grèce avant Alexandre", while analyzing a different social context in a wider span, was the starting point for this research that his intention was to go to complete the geographic landscape also including the south Italy and Magna Grecia. In the remainder of the work, and with the acquisition of the data collected from the various geographical areas considered, we have realized the almost total absence to date of inscriptions, literary sources and whatnot matrix indigenous can refer explicitly to a indigenous royalty, the only statements of fact these elements from a historical point of view, as we shall see, are only of Greek origin.

[pt] O presente trabalho analisa, na perícope de 2 Rs 2,19-25, o tema do poder paradigmático em dar vida e tirá-la, abençoar e amaldiçoar, no ministério de Eliseu. Não somente busca evidenciar a função desta perícope como uma unidade, mas também como introdução a todo o ciclo de Eliseu, o qual lidou no seu ministério com o poder de abençoar os obedientes e que respeitam o profeta como genuíno representante de YHWH, e o poder de amaldiçoar aqueles que se lhe opõem. Utilizando o Método Histórico-Crítico e a Análise Narrativa, será evidenciada em 2 Rs 2,19-25 uma mesma trama em dois episódios, servindo de conclusão da seção que engloba todo o conjunto de 2 Rs 2 numa trama unificada. Eliseu é o herói dessa narrativa, o qual tem como objetivo enquanto discípulo tornar-se mestre, o sucessor de Elias. E as simetrias entre 2 Rs 1 e 2 Rs 2 fazem de 2 Rs 1 - 2 a narrativa de sucessão profética de Eliseu moldada à sucessão mosaica. / [en] This actual essay analyzes in the pericope of 2 Kings 2,19-25 the theme of the paradigmatic power in giving life and to pulling it out, to bless and to curse in the Elisha s office. It not only seeks to highlight the role of this pericope as a unit, but also as an introduction to the whole of the Elisha s Cycle, which in his office dealt with the power to bless the obedients and those who respect the prophet as YHWH s genuine representative, and with the power to curse those who oppose the prophet. By using the Historical-Critical Method and the Narrative Analysis, it will be highlighted in 2 Kings 2,19-25 a same plot in two episodes, which serves as conclusion of the section that includes the whole of 2 Kings 2 in an unified plot. Elisha is the hero of this narrative, whose aim as disciple is to become master, the successor of Elijah. And the symmetries between 2 Kings 1 and 2 Kings 2 make 2 Kings 1 - 2 the narrative of Elisha’s prophetic succession molded as mosaic succession.

This thesis examines Alexander�s conception of kingship, his relationship with royal traditions in the three great kingdoms of the Near East, and the concomitant transformation of the king�s court by which Alexander created a distinctive royal insignia and introduced new court personnel and protocol. Section I ("Alexander and Near Eastern Kingship") contains Chapters I, II, and III. Section II ("The Transformation") comprises Chapters IV to VI. In Chapter I, I examine the Macedonian background of Alexander�s court and his native conception of kingship. Chapter II is a study of the kingship of Egypt. Chapter III deals with the kingship of Babylon and Persia. I then turn to an analysis of Alexander�s policies towards the Persians and the concept of the "kingship of Asia," as this was understood by Alexander. This crucial concept is to be distinguished from the kingship of Persia, a position which Alexander supplanted and replaced with his personal kingship of Asia. In Section II, three chapters are devoted to an analysis of the transformation of Alexander�s court. Chapter IV covers the origin and significance of Alexander�s royal insignia. Chapter V examines the introduction of, and the role played by, Persians and easterners in the king�s court; and Chapter VI the significance of other Persian court offices.

This thesis conducts postcolonial readings of 1 Kings 21:1-29 within the context of the struggle for land in Zimbabwe. It is an attempt to investigate the historical and sociological contexts of Zimbabwe and Ancient Israel. The thesis traces the land issue trajectory across both the colonial and post-colonial terrain of Zimbabwe. In the process, this thesis identifies four key moments which it considers as major in the struggle for land in Zimbabwe, which are: the historical moment of the colonization of Zimbabwe; the moment of the Second War of Liberation; the moment of the independent Zimbabwe; and the moment of the current land invasions and land grabbing in Zimbabwe. The thesis has made an attempt to explain the significance of land in Ancient Israel, in an endeavour to understand why Naboth the Jezreelite would not easily succumb to Ahab`s demand for his family land. In this way the Naboth story is located within its socio-historical context. It has also demonstrated that the advent of the monarchy introduced a tributary socio-economic system which replaced the egalitarian social order. In addition, this dissertation has shown that the monarchy introduced land expropriation in Israel and Judah, which was a departure from the inalienability of land, a concept very popular with pre-monarchic Israel and Judah. The issues of the abuse of power and the injustice that was prevalent under both the united as well as the divided monarchies were also discussed At the end, the thesis has attempted to bring the context of the struggle for land in Zimbabwe in dialogue, contrapuntally with the context of the confrontation over land between Ahab and Naboth the Jezreelite, that is, allowing both similarities and differences to manifest or emerge in this dialogue, so that a complete interpretation of the text may be achieved by allowing the context and the text to interrogate and investigate each other. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2008.

Mandume has fought two colonial powers, Portugal and British-South Africa from the time he became king in 1911 to 1917. This thesis looked at the different ways in which Manume is remembered in Namibia and Angola after these countries had gained their independence from colonialism. His bravery in fighting the colonizers has awarded him hero status and he is considered a nationalist hero in both Namibia and Angola. However, he is memorialized differently in Namibia and Angola. The process of remembering Mandume in different ways is related to where his body and head are buried respectively. This is because there is a belief that his body was beheaded, and his head was buried in Windhoek while the rest of his body is buried in Angola. The monument that is alleged to host his head is claimed to belong to him to this day. However, this monument was erected for the fallen South African troops who died fighting him. The author argued that this belief was in response to the need to reclaim a monumental space to commemorate Mandume in the capital city.
