Appel à contribution : “Communication – Cooperation – Confrontation. Queens, Noblewomen, and Burgher Women in the Middle Ages”, Prague, Academic Conference Center, du 16 au 17 octobre 2025, date limite du 31 mars 2025

Medieval women were not isolated figures in society. As part of a complex system of relations – personal, ideological, or material –, they lived and worked within various networks. The terms “communication, cooperation and confrontation” can served as analytical categories for comprehending how women exerted influence and power, gained support for the realization of their goals, and navigated around their social, economic and other obstacles. With this conference, we seek to apply these lenses to...

Journées d’étude : « Mazarin et les pays du Nord », Versailles, Centre de recherche du Château de Versailles, 22-24 juin 2023

Parution : Bryan Cussen, Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform 1534-1549, Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2020

When Paul III was elected in 1534, hopes arose across Christendom that this pope would at last reform and reunite the Church. During his fifteen-year reign, though, Paul’s engagement with reform was complex and contentious. A work of cultural history, this book explores how cultural narratives of honour and tradition, including how honour played out in politics, significantly constrained Pope Paul and his chosen reformers in framing strategies for change. Indeed, the reformers’ programme would...
