- According to medieval Canon Law the validity of a marriage depended solely on the consent of the parties. No one could legally force a couple to marry if they did not freely consent to do so. At the same time, any kind of sexual relations outside of marriage was prohibited by Canon Law. An unmarried couple could be forced to abjure one another sub pena nubendi. This meant that any future intercourse would automatically leave them legally married. In this article I study the conflict between the idea of marriage as solely depending on the free consent of the parties and the marriage coercion imposed by abjuration sub pena nubendi.

- According to medieval canon law, mutual consent was sufficient to create a valid marriage. A marriage contracted secretly could thus be perfectly valid. Such marriages, i.e. clandestine marriages, did however constitute one of the major problems in the marriage legislation of the medieval Catholic Church. This problem was particularly apparent at the local level and practically all synodal statutes in medieval Europe contain multiple prohibitions against such marriages. In this context, Swedish synodal statutes constitute an exception by the relatively modest place accorded to this problem. This article compares the references to clandestine marriages in Swedish and French synodal statutes, analyzes their differences and explores the Swedish legal tradition to determine possible explanations for them. Swedish secular laws contained detailed rules for the formation of marriage that guaranteed a certain publicity. This made clandestine marriages, in the sense of marriages contracted secretly without witnesses, relatively scarce. Swedish synodal statutes reflect this situation, shows the implications of the Swedish matrimonial tradition, and how canon law was adapted to the Swedish context.

Damiette 1220. : la cinquième croisade et l’Apocalypse Arabe de Pierre dans leur contexte nilotique
- 2020

- the discovery of prophetic texts by the 5th crusade in Damietta in 1220 is mostly studied in relation with the quest for Prester John, with whom the crusaders sought an alliance from 1221. This paper goes back to the text first source, the Arabic Apocalypse of Peter in order to explain the prophecies in their original African and Nilotic context. The apocalyptical texts must therefore be understood as an attempt, probably made by some members of the Coptic community, to introduce the Franks in the balance between Ayubids, Nubians and Ethiopians, deeply modified in the beginning of the 13th century.
