Allegory, Satire, and the Legitimation of Rebellion in Fourteenth-Century Sweden
- 2021

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In fourteenth-century Sweden, several depositions of kings (in 1318, 1364, and 1389) were followed by the production of literary depictions of those kings’ reigns, pointing out their many faults, the wickedness of their advisors, or the tyrannical nature of their rule. Thus, Latin and vernacular literature could serve a legitimating function, presenting both the actions of the rebels and the succeeding regime as lawful. These texts were composed shortly after the events in question, giving one faction’s view of a recent conflict; they portray motivations, modes of composition, and a historical consciousness distinct from regnal history writing.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- De första riddarromanerna som översattes till fornsvenska, Herr Ivan (1303) och Flores och Blanzeflor (1312), utgör i denna artikel exempel på hur två medeltida översättningar omformulerar känslor och beskrivningar av verbala och fysiska känslomässiga uttryck. De litterära gestalternas emotionella tillstånd presenteras som etiska dilemman, men de svenska översättningarna understryker också deras effekter på den sociala och politiska ordningen. Felaktiga känslor och inte minst omåttliga känslouttryck var problematiska för den politiska eliten. Den svenska 1300-talsaristokratin behövde en litteratur som kunde lansera höviska uppförandekoder, som spred idén om att den som fötts med ädelt blod var mer behärskad, rationell och därmed lämplig att styra riket. I artikeln diskuteras hur översättningarnas funktioner relaterar till olika strata inom den svenska aristokratin och dessas möjliga varierande reception av texterna.

Crowdsourcing and Citizen Humanities : The Problems and Potentials of Public Engagement in Humanities Research
- 2023

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter begins by discussing the different types and phases of crowdsourcing in terms of their possibilities for participants and problems for scholars. Forms of crowdsourcing such as volunteers’ transformation of content (existing institutional resources) and their production of new content differ from each other, and even more from projects explicitly including pedagogical aims and aspirations of co-production.The chapter uses the example of a recent large-scale humanities research project that relied heavily on crowdsourcing, the Estoria DIgiTal (EDIT). After exploring crowdsourcing in the humanities through examining that and other projects in the cultural heritage sector, the humanities, and citizen history, the chapter moves on to themes of current relevance to public humanities and public history. It defines citizen humanities as a distinct, participatory rather than delegatory, type of project, and then discusses the impact and relevance of citizen humanities and volunteer commitment in terms of problems and possibilities. Finally, I outline the features of a citizen humanities that considers both knowledge production and the teaching of related skills.I argue that to establish a field of genuine citizen humanities, we must learn how to teach research-related skills to participants and define transferable skills as a pedagogical outcome of such projects.

Den medeltida riddaren som intertextuellt fenomen : Om hjältekonstruktioner i Eufemiavisorna och Erikskrönikan

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Riddarromaner och historiska krönikor är området för Kim Bergqvists artikel "Den medeltida riddaren som intertextuellt fenomen: Om hjältekonstruktioner i Eufemiavisorna och Erikskrönikan." I artikeln studerar Bergqvist görandet av hjältar genom analyser av föreställningar om och gestaltningar av medeltida riddare, så som de framställs i ovanstående narrativ från 1300-talet. Bergqvist menar att dessa, mer eller mindre, fiktiva hjältegestaltningar, förhandlade i en samtida nationell, sociohistorisk kontext, utgjorde ett medel i den aristokratiska gruppens identitetsskapande och som sådan verkade normerande för tidsperiodens uppfattningar om idealiserad manlighet och kvinnlighet. (Ur Therése Anderssons inledning, Hjältar och Hjältinnor, ss. 13-14)

'Era omne de grant coraçón' : Gendered Grief, Sorrow, and Zeal in Medieval Castilian History Writing
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Grief, Gender, and Identity in the Middle Ages. - Leiden : Brill Academic Publishers. - 9789004315129 - 9789004499690 ; , s. 15-36
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- When kings are portrayed in medieval Castilian history writing from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries as mourning the loss of sons to war or illness, grief is represented as debilitating and dangerous, if not moderated. Hence, the historiographical response to grief and sorrow demonstrates that not all displays of emotion by kings can be interpreted as intentional political acts or ritual display. Rather, the chronicles reveal instances of ideological use of emotions within history writing to disseminate certain ideas about kingship, gender, and emotions, which also contributed to forming lay noble emotional habitus. Chroniclers reveal an ideal that valued the transformation of sorrow into just anger and religious zeal, emotions whose functions were apparent in the ideological and military context of the Christian conquest of Muslim Spain.

History and Chronicles in Late Medieval Iberia : Representations of Wamba in Late Medieval Narrative Histories by Aengus Ward
- 2013
-
Ingår i: La Corónica. - New York : Modern Language Association of America. - 0193-3892 .- 1947-4261. ; 41:2, s. 265-270
-
Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The book under scrutiny here is the culmination of an ambitious study. It has been the intention of Aengus Ward (Ph.D., 1995, Birmingham) to examine a large number of textual representations of the seventh-century Visigothic King Wamba in order to delve into the question of the existence of a chronicle genre in late medieval Iberia. Ward, a Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of Birmingham, has previously published critical editions of late medieval Iberian chronicles and a number of articles on historiography, authorship, and manuscript culture. The importance of his contribution to the recent strengthening of research on medieval Iberian historiography is undeniable.

It's A Good Life, If You're Free from Sin : The Moral and Political Sense of Chivalry in Medieval Castile
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the manner in which the virtues and vices play a part in the representation of the social order in the work of Don Juan Manuel, with a particular emphasis on the Libro del cauallero et del escudero, and in reference to the configuration of chivalry in Alfonso X’s Siete partidas (2P, Title XXI) and Ramon Llull’s Llibre de l’orde de cavalleria. I discuss how Don Juan Manuel’s representation of knighthood and chivalry differs from that of his predecessors, the moral and ethical notions inherent therein, and its relation to conceptions of social order. The discussion concerns the motivations and aims of these diverging conceptions of chivalry and how they are legitimated and justified.

Kings and Nobles on the Fringes of Christendom : A Comparative Perspective on Monarchy and Aristocracy in the European Middle Ages
- 2019

Ingår i: The Routledge History of Monarchy. - : Routledge. - 9781138703322 - 9781315203195 ; , s. 622-635

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter on the relationship between kingship and nobility focuses on the kingdoms of Castile-Leon and Sweden during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. It aims to describe research on kingship and nobility in these contexts—ones that seldom take part in the same scholarly dialogues—with a comparative analysis of the varied and shifting political circumstances of medieval European monarchies. In medieval Europe, representatives of monarchy and aristocracy vied for supremacy, often in open conflict. The aristocracy was granted legal exemption from royal taxation while the king secured high-profile military resources for his own ends. The recurrent periods of royal minority in Sweden and Castile were times when the nobility or aristocracy had the opportunity to implement their own political agendas. The chapter demonstrates that both Sweden and Castile share common traits with contemporary kingdoms in western and central Europe, and that a comparative perspective is profitable in order to make connections between seemingly disparate contexts.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- En este ensayo trataré temas relevantes para entender cómo podemos usar la enseñanza del período medieval en Escandinavia en la formación de profesores de Historia. Empezaré enfocándome en cuál es la mejor manera de aprender la historia – intentando identificar una convergencia entre teoría y práctica docente – y luego explicaré la necesidad de, en un inicio, concentrar nuestros esfuerzos en las habilidades necesarias para la producción y el entendimiento de investigaciones históricas, para después obtener los conocimientos concretos. Encontrar representaciones populares en clases educativas, en conjunto con las fuentes históricas, puede contribuir a que los estudiantes entiendan cuáles preguntas podemos plantear en estos textos, qué incluyen las narrativas y qué se mantiene oculto. Debemos estar conscientes de la diversidad de medios que afectan la conciencia histórica de nuestros estudiantes, para poder poner énfasis en la facultad crítica con la que tenemos que enfrentar cada representación, medieval o moderna. Alumnos, estudiantes y profesores continuarán interactuando con el pasado a través de distintos medios de comunicación. Lo crucial es saber cómo enfrentarse con usos del pasado de manera reflexiva, pensativa e interrogadora. Así se puede ir formando una consciencia no solo del pasado, sino de los usos del pasado.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article expounds on how internal military conflicts and actions – rebellions and civil wars – were motivated in the Iberian and Scandinavian areas during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, with a particular focus on the kingdoms of Castile-León and Sweden. It also considers how military resources, both internal and external to the respective realm, were mobilized to carry out these actions. The article offers a comparison of experiences in the Castilian and the Swedish context vis-à-vis social dynamics, military composition, and outside support for contentious politics.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses different paradigms for analysis of conflicts between magnates and kings in the period c. 1250–1370 in Norway and Sweden. During the past few decades, the study of feuds and the idea of the survival of a feud culture into the Late Middle Ages or Early Modern period has been prevalent in scholarship on medieval Scandinavia. Here it is argued that conflicts between kings and magnates in the period under study were perceived as being of a different order than conflicts between individual or groups of magnates, both by kings and by magnates themselves. Magnates were protective of their right of resistance against unlawful kings, and increasingly presented themselves as protectors of the common good, and representatives of the community of the realm. Kings, meanwhile, began to label any (armed) resistance to their initiatives as treason, leaning on Roman law. These circumstances should make scholars wary of ignoring the constitutional and legal ramifications of aristocratic resistance.

Performing Chivalric Masculinity : Morality, Restraint, and Emotional Norms in the Libro del Cavallero Zifar
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Affective and Emotional Economies in Medieval and Early Modern Europe. - Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783319606682 - 9783319606699 ; , s. 227-246
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bergqvist offers an analysis of how emotional and affective behavior are portrayed in relation to masculinity in the Libro del Cavallero Zifar, the first domestic book of chivalry composed in medieval Castile around the year 1300. This literary work embodies knightly manhood and the performative aspect of lay elite masculinity. Bergqvist finds that the male ideal of the Zifar, epitomized in its eponymous hero, is characterized by emotional restraint and composure. This ideal of moderation, shared with contemporaneous wisdom literature, grounds Castilian chivalry in morality, and creates a distance from the emotionally expressive Arthurian knights of French romances. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the incentive for promoting this ideal and the influence on the narrative of Toledo as the place of composition.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article offers an analysis of political language as manifested in the representation of two historical episodes in the Crónica de Castilla (c. 1300): the minorities of the Castilian kings Alfonso VIII and Enrique (Henry) I. In comparison with representations of the same events in related chronicles from the preceding period, a close examination of the discourse gives insight into the strategies deployed by the chronicler to offer an ideologically invested version of the past. Conclusions drawn from this investigation are used to discuss the battle for historiographical hegemony, in relation to the struggle for political power between the magnate class (the ricos hombres) and royal authority.

Tears of Weakness, Tears of Love : Kings as Fathers and Sons in Medieval Spanish Prose

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A striking example of the paradoxical relationship between the roles of king and father can be found in the Chronicle of Alfonso X (Crónica de Alfonso X), written by Fernán Sánchez de Valladolid in the 1340s, on behalf of the ruling King Alfonso XI of Castile and León. In the midst of political turmoil and civil war raging because of a succession crisis, Alfonso is reached by false news of the death of his second son, Sancho (later IV), and is struck by grief. His counsellors, upon seeing his reaction, are mortified. In all probability this particular scene is not principally based on written evidence but a product of the chronicler’s imagination, and to understand this scene, we must consider what it was meant to convey to the intended audience of a historical discourse at court. How are we then to approach the emotions of people in the Middle Ages, when they are so far away in time, and so ephemeral? Certainly we cannot be sure to reach anything more than an assumption of what this or that person may have felt in a particular situation. Nevertheless, the attitudes held towards emotive expressions and the ways in which they were interpreted are accessible to us. The shedding of tears is a constant human gesture, while its signification and cultural relevance are not. The meanings attributed to crying men and women vary according to each historical situation, with each cultural context or emotional community (to use a phrase coined by Barbara Rosenwein). As historians we need to be sensitive to the particular context in which emotional expressions were constructed. This article examines crying, the emotions connected thereto, and the portrayal of kings as fathers and sons in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Spanish prose, in varying literary genres. The aim is to offer some reflections on the attitudes taken towards lachrymose behaviour, and to reach some insight into the distinction between the public and the private, the political and the emotional life in said context.

The Shoemaker and the Troubadour Knight, and Other Stories : Historicity and the Truth of Fiction in Medieval Castilian Literature

- The Castilian fourteenth-century author Don Juan Manuel is most renowned for his frame-tale collection of exempla, the Conde Lucanor (1335), but he wrote numerous works of fiction and history, always in a didactic vein. This article examines certain ‘reality elements’ in the fictional and historical tales of the Conde Lucanor and other works of its author, principally the use of autofiction and the insertion of historical figures in a fictional setting or their use in such a mode. This topic is approached through wider discussions about the distinction between allegorical and historical truth in Juan Manuel’s work, the discursive common ground between medieval history and fiction in terms of their plausibility, and the notion of the purported self-referentiality of fiction. It is argued that autofictional and other reality elements are not so much an attempt to verify or authenticate otherwise fictional narratives, as it is a conscious play on the common ground of the historical and the fictional mode, and part of a cohesive didactic strategy on the part of the author in question – interconnected with his social and political position in fourteenth-century Castile.

The Vindication of Sancho II in the Crónica de Castilla : Political Identity and Historiographical Reinvention in Medieval Castilian Chronicles
- 2018
-
Ingår i: The Medieval Chronicle. - : BRILL. - 1567-2336 .- 1879-5927. ; 11, s. 64-86
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The first part of the post-Alfonsine Crónica de Castilla (c. 1300) is partly a vindication of the reputation of Sancho II, the king who is known to have initiated the fratricidal wars after the death of Fernando I in 1065. This article demonstrates how this is a direct consequence of the political identity constructed and disseminated within this utterly Castilian chronicle, and probably a response to certain specific historical and political circumstances in the final years of the thirteenth century. The article argues the need to view changes in the historiographical genre during this period, including those that transformed history writing towards a more 'literary' mode, as relevant to the ideological views and projects of the instigators of chronicle writing. Finally, it questions current views of the Crónica de Castilla as an example of aristocratic historiography.

War, Diplomacy and Peacemaking in Medieval Iberia
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This volume offers insights into the nature of warfare, diplomacy and peacemaking on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages, and the influences and entanglements resulting from these processes. The essays collected here emphasize both violent conflict and the brokering of allegiances and settlements, either within polities and common endeavours or between rival entities (such as the taifas of Seville and Badajoz in the fractious eleventh century). The volume begins with an account of Muslim warlords who sought service under Christian rulers in the tenth century and their historiographical fates, and embraces the whole of the Iberian Peninsula, from its western coast, in an analysis of the tightrope walked by the Galician monastery of Oia in maintaining its Portuguese domains at times of bitter conflict between Castile and its neighbour, to its eastern coast, as Catalan and Aragonese merchants coped with pirates and state-sponsored confiscation in the fifteenth century.
