Text of the page (random words):
lly inherits his counties mir geribert and his allies effectively secede he calls himself prince of olèrdola takes over ramon berenguer s and sanç s properties wherever he can and invades the franchises areas of judicial self government awarded and until now protected by the counts ramon berenguer s response is hampered by the fact that really this is brother sanç s territory but sanç is about fourteen at this point and not reacting in full lordly outrage also the men who bring ramon berenguer his troops when he goes to war are partly involved and on two campaigns one against the count of neighbouring cerdanya and one more dangerously against al andalus he may only be in his twenties but he knows where the answer lies his forces suffer serious desertions in barcelona itself though the citizens arm themselves in his support and pledge him vast sums of money it still isn t enough to stop the actual bishop and the viscount mir geribert s cousins both besieging him in the comital palace although he does at least manage to turn the battle round and capture them he can t however get consensus enough together to punish them he just doesn t have the whole hearted support the count of urgell can t help because he is under attack from muslim saragossa and has a set of peasant communes in andorra taking the joint opportunity to secede cerdanya is ranged against barcelona too in fact the only help for the counts available is from the church and inevitably grandmother ermessenda which comes with a price tag ramon berenguer doesn t like and only goes far enough to save him not to let him advance his own plans so 1041 to 1046 are difficult years for the young hero anti hero by the end of that because he has been wise enough despite everything to keep up raiding against al andalus he is able to buy support enough to establish relative peace in 1046 he forces the nearest muslim cities lleida and tortosa both to agree a yearly payment of tribute which more or less guarantees him this kind of revenue for the future though mir geribert remains an independent prince in penedès and will for eight more years yet perhaps because there is little of his county left sanç gives it up to his brother in 1049 for a fairly meagre pension and that is more or less the last we hear of him retirement age circa 22 in 1051 ramon berenguer i manages to force a tribute out of the very rich city of saragossa meanwhile in 1052 everything at home explodes at once and it s ramon berenguer s fault ermessenda is by now very old and losing not so much grip as her helping hands the oldest churchmen on whose respected status and pacific principles she had relied including her brother pere bishop of girona and the famous bishop oliba of vic son of a count once a count himself and also abbot of quite a lot of places and thus a very major magnate in his own right have died and she is finding it hard to command the respect she once had against her grandson s increasing control both of men and resources in a clear symptom of this escape from her control in 1052 ramon berenguer repudiates his wife countess blanca whom ermessenda found him in 1030 when he was still a child and does no less a thing than abduct and marry almodis de la marche already married to the ageing count of toulouse pope victor ii is called on to excommunicate the young count and does so meanwhile the uncaring ramon berenguer launches a judicial suit against mir geribert mir of course laughs at this but all that ramon wants is the cause to start the enforcement so the war begins again with mir taking over whatever he may have been made to give back and more and ramon berenguer keeping up war against both his grandmother and al andalus so as to be able to meet mir with an overwhelming force mir s desperate tactics must in part be down to the fact that he can see how this will end if ramon berenguer can stay in power long enough but he is unable to stave off the inevitable despite a second and local excommunication of the count in 1056 already in 1054 brother guillem is bought out of osona in the same way as sanç had been with bishop oliba gone he is probably finding it hard to hold onto what s his given the war his brother has started the ambiguity oliba must have felt in his last years about the comital family is hard to get one s head around in 1057 ermessenda admits defeat she allows ramon berenguer and almodis who seems happily to have become to ramon berenguer what ermessenda had been to his grandfather the vital and enlivening right hand on whom he could utterly rely to buy girona from her for a vast sum of money a sum that she hardly gets to use because she dies in venerable retirement the same year i can t help wondering how having her gone must have felt to ramon berenguer who had spent most of his life being held up by her in several senses an ever present and considerable force always part of his thinking now removed heavy to contemplate it is by now pretty much all over anyway in 1058 ramon berenguer amasses his largest army yet to march on saragossa because the men will march for muslim gold where civil war might be less profitable but leads it first through the penedès mir knows when he s beaten at last and runs to tortosa whence he sues for peace saragossa submits to tribute for the next four years too making ramon berenguer richer than ever and mir is admitted back to his fidelity in a much reduced state in 1059 and now ramon berenguer is in a position to start making demands for compensation and new style homage from one ex rebel at a time and so closes the film as i care about it but already imagine the scenes you could get out of that the confrontations ermessenda spitting scorn katherine hepburn style at her idiot grandson and her final collapse the brothers arguing the abduction of almodis and the face off between her and ermessenda in 1057 mir having to bend his knee to the young upstart mir s court in the old hillfort with its roman walls and fortified church and all over the film the gold the blood and the buildings and this stuff actually happened can you imagine what it was like to be part of all this i can t but it s fun to try josep maría salrach in whose work i was reading all this again would of course want to emphasise and does so repeatedly indeed along with his pupils that in all this the peasants are getting it in the neck having their surplus expropriated to feed ever large retinues of soldiers their protectors first powerless and then uncaring and that it s all very well to imagine being one of the winners but that overall most people from whom he and the modern population descend were the losers and fair enough as historians we need to keep track of that and not get seduced by heroic narrative we can leave that to the film makers 3 but sometimes all the same you want a film that does it well even by our standards and this would make such a good one 1 contrasting here josep maría salrach el procés de feudalització segles iii xii historia de catalunya 2 barcelona 1987 pp 296 297 with derek w lomax the reconquest of spain london 1978 pp 49 51 the best narrative otherwise is s sobrequés i vidal els grans comtes de barcelona biografies catalanes serie historica 2 barcelona 1961 pp 16 26 2 though i anticipate this script having rather better dialogue than that 3 seriously who would you cast for the final confrontation between charles the bald and bernard of septimania in 844 at last i shall avenge my father on you bernard ha for all you know boy i am your father i d love to see that done well 14 comments posted in catalonia currently reading feudalism this job that i do ii posted on 3 august 2007 1 comment there are 3 371 more roman coins on the web than there were yesterday i just mention it if i can get a search string worked out that actually gives you my contribution without the larger and more irksome work on the bronzes done by my predecessor i may mention it again it s nice to have one s work visible like this update a more direct link is here you have to wade through four or five pages of islamic coins that i didn t scan but did correct on the same day as the roman upload went live but after that you re into genuine augustan silver so there on the other hand some of the islamic stuff is actually medieval even if not tenth century which is about as on topic as this post will get 1 comment posted in islamic crescent uncategorized medieval student report posted on 2 august 2007 leave a comment here s a small gem for you when i was getting feedback on the leeds paper before going up dr alice rio kindly sent me her opinions on the way i was using formulae this was very welcome but still more so was the coda to the e mail which she has given me permission to quote here by the way do you know this weird text copied along with marculf in all main mss perhaps an early example of how to write a student report item alio dicto ad juvenis nescientes scripturas miro prosortam prolixa tempora aut nullum me sermone pagene consecutum cuius eloquia vestri velut ad verbo dictancium polluti mutuati ceras afferunt currunt articuli falsitatis sed ubi venitur ad revolvendum delisse magis quam scripsisse pro solicissimum referit quando sperabam capitula epistolae finisse nec inciperat in primo my iffy translation another text addressed to young men who do not know how to write i wonder that after such a long time my speech has in no way been followed on the page and the borrowed writing tablets which you bring back soiled with your text as if from dictation are filled with the wrong words and when it comes to handing them over he brings them back having erased more than he has written down on account of his solecisms when i was expecting him to have finished the sections of the document he had not even begun obviously something it would be handy to have around for copying out onto student exercises these days we might just get a fairly big rubber stamp made up i suppose it s tempting i wonder how much that would cost but anyway hurrah for medieval irony remind me to tell you or remind you of the one
