Kildare rebellion (1534-1535) in the Annals of the Four Masters
2020
Abstract One of the most important Irish historical sources, which are the Annals of the Four Masters, written in the modern period, provide us with unusually valuable information about the history of the Emerald Island. In addition to data from the ancient or medieval periods, it also contains material from the difficult 16th and 17th centuries for Ireland, when it came under the yoke of English Protestants, who were initially represented by the Tudors and then by the Stuart dynasty. The Annals of the Four Masters also witnesses the resistance of the Irish, both those from Hiberno Normans and Gaelic Irish, to the demands of new authorities, including the rejection of Catholicism and total …
Gallivanting Round the Globe: Translating National Identities in Henry V
2012
In this article we shall be looking at the character of MacMorris in Henry V, and at his small but important role in the four captains’ scene. We shall explore some of the historical, cultural, political, dramaturgical and linguistic complexities of his portrayal of Irishness as a necessary preliminary study to its translation into other languages, both for the printed page and for the stage. Spanish and Catalan translations of the scene will be briefly analysed in what we hope will be the framework of a wider, multilingual preoccupation: how does national identity translate in a global context? How does —or can— MacMorris speak in other languages?

Conrad of Querfurt (ca. 1160–1202) was one of the most important and influential German bishops at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. He was associated with the Hohenstaufen dynasty. As a result, he became the bishop of Hildesheim (1194–1199), and then the bishop of Würzburg (1198–1202), as well as served two German kings from that family as chancellor (1194–1201). Conrad of Querfurt was a man of extremely broad political horizons and great ambitions. It was not a coincidence that the title of chancellor, along with the governorship of the Norman kingdom, was given to him by Henry VI. He took great care of his public image, which he proved by sponsoring the work of Peter of Eboli, tit…
Ceremoniał za panowania dwóch pierwszych królów elekcyjnych doby pojagiellońskiej w świetle relacji rodzimych i cudzoziemskich
2020
W II poł. XVI w. drogi ustrojowe państw Europy zachodniej i Rzeczypospolitej zaczęły się coraz wyraźniej różnicować. W sprzyjających okoliczności mogło to budzić wzajemne zaciekawienie, którego owocem są zachowane do dzisiaj relacje podróżników i dyplomatów. Wymiana spostrzeżeń w czasach, w których umysł polskiego szlachcica nie był jeszcze zdominowany przez ksenofobię, ujawnia w równej mierze aprobatę, jak chłodny dystans, a niekiedy niechęć. Zestawienie rodzimych refleksji z wnioskami płynącymi z cudzoziemskich podróży do Polski w drugiej połowie XVI w. wzbogaca naszą wiedzę na temat wizerunku Rzeczypospolitej w czasach jej świetności. Jak zauważył Mirosław Sadowski, okres panowania pierw…
