This thesis explores the impact of Rome upon Anglo-Saxon politics, religion, and culture in the ninth century. From the Gregorian mission onwards, Rome helped shape the ecclesiastical and devotional contexts of Anglo-Saxon Christianity and occupied a central place in the imaginations of early English writers. Yet the extent to which these links continued into and throughout the ninth century remains obscure, with scholarship about religion and culture often treating the period as a hiatus. In political narratives, the ninth century is treated as a crucial period, and Roman involvement is most visible in this sphere. By redressing the imbalance between religion and politics, this thesis achieves a thorough appreciation of the part played by Rome in these various fields of experience, as well as showing how Anglo-Saxon writers located themselves and their pasts in relation to the city. It does so over the course of five thematic chapters, which progress from an analysis of the most fundamental issues to more imaginative ones. Chapter one examines contact and communication between England and Rome, arguing that the two areas were closely and constantly connected across the century. The second and third chapters explore the impact of Rome on religion and kingship respectively, finding that while Roman influence on the church was most pronounced in the first half of the century, in political terms the city played a significant and changing role throughout the period. Chapters four and five consider the position of Rome in Anglo-Saxon historical thought and geographical understanding, examining how writers continued to define their position in a wider Christian world with reference to the city and its past. This thesis argues that, in the ninth century, Rome continued to play an important role in English life, while also influencing Anglo-Saxon thought and experience in new and dynamic ways.

[pt] O trabalho consiste num estudo da Monarquia, um tratado de filosofia política escrito por Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) em princípios do século XIV. Com o objetivo de elaborar uma defesa definitiva do ideal de Império, o autor acaba por construir um modelo de sociedade fundamentado na dualidade de poderes. A abordagem leva em conta o caráter singular da obra em relação à produção intelectual referente à teoria imperial, que circulou durante os últimos séculos da Idade Média. A singularidade não se encontraria na forma de governo proposta por Dante - o governo universal de um só -, mas na argumentação que define esferas de atuação distintas entre o poder secular e o espiritual, responsáveis por guiar a humanidade ao seu duplo fim. Dentro da concepção de mundo medieval, assentada na experiência de unidade entre o transcendente e o imanente, o dualismo sobre o qual Dante constrói sua tese aponta para uma possibilidade de compreensão do caminho privilegiado pelo pensamento moderno. / [en] The work consists of a study of Monarchy, a political- philosophy treaty written by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) in the beginning of the XIV century.

The approach takes into account the singular nature of the work in relation to the intellectual production referring to the Empire theory, that circulated during Middle Age´s last centuries. The singularity is not in the form of Dante´s proposal of government - the universal government of just one - but in the argumentation that defines distinct actuation areas between secular power and spiritual power, responsible for guarding humanity to its double end.

L'iconographie de saint Grégoire le Grand (v.540 – 604) n'a été jusqu'à présent que très peu étudiée.Lorsqu'on connaît l'importance de ce saint dans la société médiévale, et plus particulièrement à partir du IXe siècle et jusqu'au XIIe siècle, il s'avère donc logique d'en approfondir l'iconographie et les enjeux qui s'en détachent. Riche d'un héritage antique et surtout carolingien lui conférant une autorité, l'image grégorienne souvent insérée au sein d'une image tripartite hiérarchisée (Dieu, l'homme et le livre), semble liée à plusieurs données: hagiographiques, scéniques, scripturaires ou géographiques. Elle expose les relations entre oralité et registre écrit, rend compte des changements de fonction du litteras et de l'importance de la mémorisation et témoigne d'une recherche aiguë du sens. Tendant à s’éloigner des bases hagiographiques, elle met l’accent, entre les IX et le XIe siècles, sur la vocalisation, puis, au XIIe s., sur la représentation des différentes phases de la vie d'un texte, de ce fait l'image est donc liée à la production du livre et axée sur la représentation de la transmission du savoir et de son enseignement dans laquelle la visualisation du savoir prend toute son importance (recherche généalogique et didactique centrées sur les vertus du saint). Grégoire, doué d'attributs impériaux l'élevant vers l'au-delà, est intégré à une image représentant l'invisible puisque Dieu reste caché à la vue de l 'homme. Cette image, à insérer dans le contexte liturgique et sensitif, fait non seulement écho aux principales préoccupations théologiques, morales voire canoniques de l'époque mais tente surtout de les légitimer. / The iconography of St. Gregory the Great (ca. 540 - March 12, 604) has so far been little studied, despite a resurgence of studies recognized for several decades. When we know the importance of this saint in medieval society, especially from the ninth century to the twelfth century, it seems therefore logical to study the iconographic aspects and issues emanating from it. A rich antique heritage and especially carolingian giving it authority, the Gregorian picture often inserted within an image tripartite hierarchy (God, man and the book), seems to be linked to several data: hagiographic, scenic, scriptural or geographic. It describes the relationship between oral and written records, reports changes depending on litteras and the importance of storage and research shows acute sense. Tending to move away from hagiographics bases, it emphasizes between the IXth and XIth centuries, the vocalization, and then, in the twelfth century, on the representation of the different phases of the life of a text (inspiration, transcription, writing, transmission), this that the image is linked to the production of the book focuses on the representation of the transmission of knowledge and teaching wherein the visualization of knowledge becomes important (genealogical and didactic research focus on the virtues of the saint). Gregory, endowed with imperial attributes raising him toward beyond, is integrated into an image representing the invisible because God remains hidden from the view of the man. These pictures to be inserted in the liturgical context and sensitive, are not only reflected the main concerns theological, moral or canonical time but mostly trying to legitimize them.

Korstågen har haft stor inverkan på världshistorien. De stora krigshärarna som drog ut i strid i främmande områden lämnade ett blodigt spår efter sig där de drog fram i Mellanöstern, Baltikum, Spanien såväl som i södra Frankrike. Korstågen gestaltar dessutom det kontroversiella ämnet om relationen mellan religion och politik som har genomsyrat historien och som är av lika stor vikt i modern tid. Korstågen har därför en särskild plats inom historievetenskap, fiktion såväl som modern politisk agenda. Denna studie ämnar lyfta fram användandet av Gud och religiösa uttryck i påvliga brev mellan 1145 och 1215 för att, genom en adaptering av Foucaults diskurs- samt maktanalys, påvisa hur makt användes genom religiösa uttryck och vad Foucault kallar för pastoral makt. Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en större förståelse för religiöst inflytande under medeltiden samt hur den religiösa makten manifesterades i påvliga brev.

This thesis deals with events during the Czech Catholic exile in Italy with a focus on the 1960's. It provides a closer look at the institutional and discursive changes that took place at the time of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and the subsequent stay of Cardinal Josef Beran in Rome (1965-1969). The work focuses mainly on the development of the publishing house Christian Academy, the Velehrad Center and the Nepomucenum Papal College where the leading figures of Czech Catholic exile, mostly priests, worked. By using the method of historical discourse analysis the work studies how the pro-conciliary orientation which defined itself in opposition towards conservative tendency in the Church became increasingly predominant in the exile environment. Last but not least, the work also shows how the form of Catholic exile discourse in Italy was influenced by the changing relationship between papal diplomacy and Communist Czechoslovakia.
