Abstract:

In August, 1944, the Allies embarked on one of the "two supreme operations of 1944," Operation Anvil/Dragoon. It is an operation that almost did not happen. Envisioned as a direct supporting operation of Overlord, Anvil soon ran into troubles. Other operations taking away resources away from Anvil in addition to opposition from the highest levels of Allied command threatened Anvil. This thesis chronicles the evolution of this debate, as well as shed light on one of the most overlooked and successful operations the Allies embarked on in World War II.

Abstract:

Cette recherche doctorale porte sur la construction du récit muséal d’un évènement historique majeur du XXe siècle : le Débarquement en Normandie du 6 juin 1944. La Basse-Normandie est un territoire, aujourd’hui marqué par la présence de près d’une trentaine de structures muséales et de lieux de mémoire. Quel discours sur le Jour-J est-il délivré ? Que contient-il ? Sur quels aspects historiques insiste-il ? Au contraire, quels éléments sont passés sous silence ? La narration délivrée dans la région est mise en rapport à l’historiographie la plus récente mais est également comparée aux expositions de musées blockbusters que sont l’Imperial War Museum de Londres, le Musée de l’Armée de Paris et le Musée Royal de l’Armée de Bruxelles. Cette démarche, en plus de nous conduire à déterminer l’existence -ou non- d’un récit typiquement normand, doit nous permettre d’analyser les messages portés par ces structures et de comprendre à qui ils s’adressent en priorité
His PhD thesis focuses on the museal story construction of one the XXth century main historic event: the landing of June 6, 1944. Nowadays, Lower Normandy is a territory scattered with almost thirty museums and memorials. What is the speech about D-Day? What is it made of? On which aspects does it insist? And which ones are ignored? The storytelling of this region is compared to the newest historiography and also to exhibitions of blockbusters’ museums such as the London’s Imperial War Museum, Paris’s Army Museum and the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History of Brussels. In this approach, we'll try to determine whether a specific speech from Normandy exists or not, and we will also analyse the museums' discourses as well as to whom they are addressed

Abstract:

Much has been written about twelfth-century chroniclers in England, but satisfactory reasons for their approaches to historical explanation have not yet been advanced. This thesis investigates how and why historians in England retold accounts of England's eleventh-century invasions: the Danish Conquest of 1016 and the Norman Conquest of 1066. The object is to illuminate the consistent historical agendas of three historians: William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon and John of Worcester. I argue that they share a view of royal responsibility independent both of their sources (primarily the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle) and of any political agenda that placed English and Norman allegiances in opposition. Although the accounts diverge widely in the interpretation of character, all three are concerned more with the effectiveness of England's kings than with their origins. Part One outlines trends in early insular narratives and examines each of the three historians' background, prose style and view of English history to provide the necessary context for understanding how and why they rewrote narratives of kings and conquest. Part Two analyzes narratives of defending kings Æthelred and Harold; Part Three conducts a parallel analysis of conquering kings Cnut and William. These sections argue that all three writers add a significant and new degree of causal and moral responsibility to English kings in their invasion narratives. Part Four discusses the implications and significance of the thesis's findings. It argues that the historians' invasion narratives follow consistent patterns in service of their projects of redeeming the English past. It contends that modern understanding of the eleventh-century conquests of England continues to be shaped by what historians wrote years later, in the twelfth. In departing from prior modes of explanation by collective sin, the three historians' invasion narratives reflect a renaissance of ancient ideas about rule.

Norton, Mason. "Resistance in Upper Normandy, 1940-1944." Thesis, Edge Hill University, 2017. http://repository.edgehill.ac.uk/10030/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to make an original contribution to knowledge by looking at the phenomenon of resistance in the French region of Upper Normandy between 1940 and 1944 from a perspective of ‘history from below’, by looking principally at the testimonies of former resisters, and demonstrating a political history of resistance. The introduction defines what is meant by Upper Normandy and justifies its choice as a region for this study, before analysing both the historiography and the epistemology of resistance, both locally and nationally, and then giving a justification and an analysis of the methodology used. The main body of the thesis is then divided into four chapters. Chapter one looks at resistance that was designed to revolutionise society, by looking at Communist resisters and the idea of the grand soir, as well as the sociological origins of these resisters, and how this influenced their resistance action. Chapter two looks at more gradualist forms of resistance, which were conceived to slowly prepare for an eventual liberation and the struggle against Vichyite hegemony, arguing that these resisters formed a ‘resistance aristocracy’, aiming to slowly forge a post-Vichy vision of the polis. Chapter three analyses resistance purely from a patriotic angle, and identifies three different forms of patriotism, before arguing that resistance was part of a process to ‘remasculate’ France after the defeat of 1940, and that these resisters saw their engagement as primarily being one of serving France. Chapter four looks at auxiliary resistance, or resistance actions that were designed to help people, whether they were fleeing persecution or were active resisters, aiming to show that resistance went beyond just organisations and networks, and could be about facilitating other actions rather than direct confrontation. The conclusion then argues for a new understanding of resistance, not as une organisation or even un mouvement, but as a form of la cité, or polis, engaged in creating a new form of polity. It shows that the political history of resistance is a combination of institutional politics and expression politics, and that resistance, even if not necessarily politicised, was political by its very nature.

Abstract:

Le présent travail porte sur l'influence du substrat vieux-breton sur le latin des Vies de saints armoricaines antérieures aux invasions normandes. L'étude, avant tout statistique et comparative, s'est appuyée sur des relevés effectués dans ces textes (une trentaine) et dans six textes témoins (cinq Vitae continentales influencées par un substrat roman ou germanique, et une Vita irlandaise). Elle a porté sur la morphosyntaxe et le lexique, et plus précisément, pour la morphosyntaxe, sur unus et solus, puis sur les prépositions (notamment cum, contra, desuper, et les prépositions / adverbes signifiant " autour "); pour le lexique, sur les anthroponymes (abordés entre autres sous l'angle de la flexion), les toponymes et les termes génériques qui leur sont associés, enfin sur quelques noms communs. Cela a permis de mesurer dans les textes bretons la conformité à la norme du latin écrit à cette époque, et d'y relever des particularités plus ou moins susceptibles d'être des britonnismes
This work studies the influence of the old Breton substractum on the Latin of the Armorican saints' lives prior to the Norman invasions. The study, mainly statistical and comparative, is based on lists established in these texts (about thirty) and in six other texts selected as testimonies (five continental Vitae influenced by a Romanic or Germanic substractum, and an Irish Vita). It was directed on morphosyntax and vocabulary, and focused for the morphosyntax, on unus et solus, then on prepositions (particularly cum, contra, desuper, and the prepositions / adverbs meaning " around "); and regarding the vocabulary, on the anthroponyms (seen among other things from the angle of inflection), the toponyms and the generic names which are closely linked, and at last on some common names. This allowed to evaluate in the Breton texts the compliance to the written Latin standards of this period, and to point out some particularities which are more or less likely to be brittonnisms

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis covers Gothic architecture in Normandy from c.1150-c.1250. It establishes a chronology for the large number of ecclesiastical buildings erected in Normandy in this period, and traces stylistic developments. Chapter I discusses the emergence of an Early Gothic style with distinctly Norman Characteristics, epitomised at Fecamp, out of a stolid vaulted Romanesque, current in the early years of the 12th century in the Lower Oise and the Vexin, as well as Normandy. Chapter II considers the obverse of the 12th century Norman coin, that is, those buildings, notably Lisieux and Nortemer choir, which reflect French sources to the extent of prejudicing their Norman character. Chapter III discusses the new ideas and approaches, not all of Ile de France origin, that flooded Norman architecture between c.1180 and c.1200, notably at St.Etienne at Caen in Lower Normandy, and Bonport and Petit Andeli in Upper Normandy, bringing a new elegance and spatial fluidity to Norman Gothic, and preparing the way for 13th century developments. Chapter IV discusses these developments in Upper Normandy, focussing on the central problem of Rouen cathedral. Chapters VI and VII do the same for Lower Normandy: the sixth dealing with the incestuous `Bessin' group related to Bayeux cathedral, and the seventh with the far south-west, notably Coutances cathedral choir, and the Merveille at Le Mont-Saint-Michel. The fifth chapter differs in that it is devoted to the architectural development of the Cistercians in Normandy, from c.1150-c.1240. The relationship between Norman Gothic architecture and the architecture of the Capetian Ile de France and Picardy is an everpresent consideration. The influence of Paris emerges as paramount, with quite strikingly little influence from the Aisne Valley, Northern Picardy or Chartres. The conclusion considers the development of Norman Gothic architecture within the historical context of the Loss of Normandy in 1204.

Alexander, Alison. "Annalistic writing in Normandy, c. 1050-1225." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2012. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265531.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis provides an analysis of annalistic writing in Normandy between c. 1050 and c. 1225. It examines three principal groups of texts which were written and copied in religious institutions throughout the duchy from the mid eleventh century, before being transmitted beyond its borders into France and England. Its purpose is to address a significant gap in modern scholarship by establishing the origin, development and purpose of annalistic writing in Normandy and to consider the contribution of the texts to our understanding of Norman history in this period . The thesis consists of three main parts, followed by two appendices. Part I addresses the annals of Rouen, which were first written in Rouen cathedral chapter c. 1054/5 and which subsequently became the base text for one family of Norman annals. It presents a model of composition, outlining stages of redaction, sources used in its production and textual development down' to c. 1225. The text is also examined within the context of institutional and historiographical developments in the cathedral chapter of Rouen in the same period. Part 11 addresses the monastic annals of Normandy, outlining patterns of dissemination around the duchy and analysing each text in turn . Part II A considers the Rouen family of annals, Part II B the Bee family and Part II C the 'Fecamp' family . Finally, Part Ill considers the contribution of this analysis to modern scholarship. It examines what the annals can tell us about the nattlre and purpose of historical writing in Norman religious communities; and discusses how the texts can be used to enhance our knowledge of Norman history at both the institutional and the duchy-wide level. The thesis also includes a general introduction and conclusion, a bibliography, several diagrams and two technical appendices which provide an overview of the manuscripts in which the Norman annals are now preserved.

Abstract:

L'étude des lois anglo-saxonnes, instaurées en Angleterre entre le VIe siècle et 1066, et anglo-normandes, appliquées entre 1066 et 1189, n'est pas chose nouvelle. En 1840, THORPE B. publiait déjà un ouvrage intitulé Ancient Laws and Institutes of England portant sur les lois pré-normandes et, entre 1874 et 1878, STUBBS W. publiait les trois volumes de son ouvrage The Constitutional History of England in its Origin and Development, particulièrement important pour le droit de la deuxième période. Mais, malgré les nombreuses études qui ont suivi, aucune ne s'est intéressée à une comparaison de ces deux modèles de droit. Pourtant, à la lumière des textes originaux, cette méthode de travail apporterait aux réponses déjà apportées deux réflexions d'importance.
Il est difficile de considérer qu'après l'invasion normande il fut fait table rase des pratiques judiciaires anglo-saxonnes tellement la tradition légale était forte. Il est tout aussi improbable que la nouvelle classe dirigeante ait préservé dans sa totalité l'usage des codes de lois établis avant leur arrivée. Par conséquent, d'un point de vue purement légal, le premier intérêt d'une telle recherche comparative, fondée sur la continuité et la rupture, permet d'appréhender l'évolution des lois à travers deux « civilisations » qui se succèdent sur un même territoire, ici l'Angleterre, et que tout semble séparer.
Le second intérêt est tout historique : ne peut-on lier les deux systèmes judiciaires concernés au succès de l'invasion de Guillaume le Conquérant et à l'instauration réussie d'un droit anglo-normand ? En d'autres termes, il convient de se demander si ce seigneur aurait réussi à envahir ce pays si les pratiques légales et administratives anglaises avaient été différentes. De plus, comme nous le montre le cas du Domesday Book, lui et ses successeurs auraient-ils pu créer un corpus de lois propre à leur société naissante sans utiliser comme base le système pré-existant ?

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on conflict within families in Normandy, c. 1025 to 1135. Despite the occurrence of several acute struggles within the ducal house during this period, and a number of lesser known but significant disputes within aristocratic families, this topic has attracted little attention from historians. Kin conflict was cast by medieval commentators as a paradox, and indeed, it is often still regarded in these terms today: the family was a bastion of solidarity, and its members the very individuals to whom one turned for support in the face of an external threat, so for a family group to turn against itself was aberrant and abhorrent. In this thesis, I draw on significant narrative and documentary evidence to consider the practice and perception of family discord. When considered in its broader setting, it emerges that kin disputes were an expected and accepted part of Norman society at this time. I begin by introducing the topic, justifying my approach, considering the relevant historiography, and providing an overview of the sources. In chapter one, I examine the representations of family and conflict in a range of primary sources to glean contemporary views. In chapters two and three, I focus on the practice of conflict within the ducal family, considering the causes of disputes, and then the place of internal ducal dissension in the Norman world. Chapter four analyses the same issues in relation to discord within aristocratic families, before chapter five explores family disputes which arose from patronage of the Church. In the conclusion, I consider the Norman example within its comparative contemporary milieu and ponder the broader themes of family conflict.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to examine the varied portrayals of Norman ethnicity in the major narrative texts produced in two areas controlled by those of Norman origin or descent: the duchy of Normandy itself, and that part of southern Italy which became the Kingdom of Sicily in 1130. Its central argument is that Norman identity was constantly being recreated by writers, a process driven partly by the political and societal circumstances in which they found themselves, and partly by the different literary and personal preferences that they brought to historical writing. The thesis is divided into five parts. The first, the introduction, examines previous writing on Norman ethnicity in the light of a broader historical understanding of ethnicity, arguing that it is important to understand not just the values or physical distinctions that can be associated with Normanness, but the implicit categories (birth, behaviour, clothing) which are used to define what it is to be a Norman at any given point. The second part, Chapter One, considers the settlement period in Normandy and the use made of the Scandinavian past by Dudo of St Quentin and William of Jumièges. It also attempts to judge how that Scandinavian past was understood by those Normans who travelled to Italy in the eleventh century. Chapter Two examines the process of Norman settlement in southern Italy, arguing that the variety of Norman experience made the creation of a single Norman identity there extremely problematic. It then examines two Norman identities that emerged, the assimilatory model offered in the works William of Apulia, and the more aggressive model expressed in those of Geoffrey Malaterra. The fourth part looks at the very end of this process of settlement in Italy, using the text of the author now known as Hugo Falcandus to examine the role of played by ethnicity in the intrigues surrounding the courts of William I and William II of Sicily. The fifth, and longest part, looks at historical writings in Normandy after the English conquest. It starts with an examination of the Norman triumphalism evident in the flurry of works which briefly followed that conquest, showing that writings produced in this period demonstrate a much greater concern with lingusitic and physical markers of Normanness than had been the case in earlier works. It concludes with an examination of the later twelfth-century, as writers struggled to find ways of describing Norman identity in a polity now no longer ruled by direct male descendents of the first Norman dukes. Three linked strands of wirting are examined: the nostalgic glory of the Draco normannicus, the pragmatic, broader view of the works of Robert of Torigni, and finally the failed attempt made by Wace to create a Norman history which shifted the focus away form the dukes and onto the Norman nobility itself.

Dutton, Kathryn Ann. "Geoffrey, Count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy, 1129-51." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2011. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3052/.

Full text

Abstract:

Count Geoffrey V of Anjou (1129-51) features in Anglo-French historiography as a peripheral figure in the Anglo-Norman succession crisis which followed the death of his father-in-law, Henry I of England and Normandy (1100-35). The few studies which examine him directly do so primarily in this context, dealing briefly with his conquest and short reign as duke of Normandy (1144-50), with reference to a limited range of evidence, primarily Anglo-Norman chronicles. There has never been a comprehensive analysis of Geoffrey’s comital reign, nor a narrative of his entire career, despite an awareness of his importance as a powerful territorial prince and important political player. This thesis establishes a complete narrative framework for Geoffrey’s life and career, and examines the key aspects of his comital and ducal reigns. It compiles and employs a body of 180 acta relating to his Angevin and Norman administrations to do so, alongside narrative evidence from Greater Anjou, Normandy, England and elsewhere. It argues that rule of Greater Anjou prior to 1150 had more in common with neighbouring principalities such as Brittany, whose rulers had emerged in the tenth and eleventh centuries as primus inter pares, than with Normandy, where ducal powers over the native aristocracy were more wide-ranging, or royal government in England. It explores the count’s territories, the personnel of government, the dispensation of justice, revenue collection, the comital army, and Geoffrey’s ability to carry out ‘traditional’ princely duties such as religious patronage in the context of Angevin elite landed society’s virtual autonomy and tendency to rebel in the first half of the twelfth century. The character of Geoffrey’s power and authority was fundamentally shaped by the region’s tenurial and seigneurial history, and could only be conducted within that framework. This study also addresses Geoffrey’s activities as first conqueror then ruler of Normandy. The process by which the duchy was conquered is shown to be more intricate than the chroniclers’ accounts of Angevin siege warfare suggest, and the ducal reign more complex than merely a regency until Geoffrey’s son, the future Henry II (1150-89), came of age. Through use of a much wider body of evidence than previously considered in connection with Geoffrey’s career, and a charter-based methodology, this thesis provides a new and appropriate treatment of an important non-royal ruler. It situates Geoffrey in his proper context and provides an account of not only how he was presented by commentators who were sometimes geographically and temporally remote, but by his own administration and those over whom he ruled. It provides an in-depth analysis of the explicit and implicit characteristics of princely rulership, and how they were won, maintained and exploited in two different contexts.

Riches, Samantha J. E. "The 'La Selle Retable' : an English alabaster altarpiece in Normandy." Thesis, University of Leicester, 1999. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/30488.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is an examination of the form, iconography and history of a highly unusual multi-panelled carved altarpiece, featuring cycles of the life of St George and of the Virgin Mary, probably dating to c.1485. The author sets the work in the context of current research into English alabaster panels, and presents an analysis of all extant documentary evidence relating to the retable. Comparisons are drawn with both visual cycles and individual subjects of the lives of St George and the Virgin in both alabaster and other media, and also hagiographical writing, to demonstrate that the atypical iconography of the work is likely to have arisen as the result of a direct commission from a Norman patron. The medieval cult of St George in Normandy is considered, also the distribution of English alabasters in the region, and the likely source of the commission is named as the Abbey Saint-Sauveur of Evreux, a community of Benedictine nuns. Consideration is given to the historical links between Saint-Sauveur and the hamlet of La Selle, and various possibilities are considered which may explain the reasons why the retable was moved to the hamlet. Finally, possible areas for future research are outlined.

Full text

Abstract:

In this thesis I consider the use of space by women within castles and nunneries, by those involved in the care of the sick and in male sacred space. The methodology is based on theories of space, gender and the body. My evidence comes from written sources and material culture. The thesis is built around four themes that recur time and again and form the framework for my conclusion. Apart from the introduction and conclusion the thesis consists of four chapters: I Women in castles; II Women's religious communities; III The care of the sick and IV Women in male sacred space. I. Recent work on women in castles and the use of space has centred around the public/private dichotomy and ideas of segregation of the female household. It may be a useful framework in which to discuss the issues but in considering the role of women in the household, ceremonial activities, war and imprisonment, I come to different conclusions, arguing that the primary reason for segregation of groups was class and not gender. II. A discussion of various aspects of female monastic life including topography, the cloister, use of buildings and the presence of the laity within the precinct, shows that nunneries were composed of groups of people other than the nuns. Combined with the nuns' adaptation of monastic space to suit their own needs better, their presence led to a fluidity in spatial practice and contrasts with the ecclesiastical visitors expectations. III. The sick were cared for at home, in churches and hospitals. This section reveals a greater fluidity in the way space was used than in other chapters, for example, in the laity's use of a church as a sick ward. Problems relating to access to healthcare provision as well as spatial problems arising from segregation by gender and state of health are discussed. IV. Women in male sacred space occupied a marginal place. They were either accepted or reviled depending on their position, for example, lay sister or priest's wife. In addition, women worked as maidservants, sought hospitality or visited men within monasteries. I speculate that some of these women were looking for a spiritual vocation outside mainstream female monasticism.

Abstract:

This thesis re-evaluates the chronology of Lower Normandyâs integration into the duchy growing around Rouen from the tenth century onwards. The introduction argues that modern accounts of Normandyâs development remain dependent on the works of Dudo of Saint-Quentin and Flodoard of Rheims. Difficulties with these authors and alternative approaches to Normandyâs early history are identified. It is argued that regional distinctions throughout the later duchy hindered efforts to bring about political cohesion. Chapters One and Two identify the ninth-century Breton occupation and early tenth-century Scandinavian settlement of Lower Normandy as the twin sources of ongoing regional divisions. The early dukesâ interest in and influence over the west are also called into question. Chapters Three and Four instead posit that ducal interest in Lower Normandy was a product of the late tenth century, with direct intervention following in the favourable circumstances of the early eleventh century. Ducal success in this period depended upon the co-operation of regional aristocrats and ecclesiastical institutions and continuing constraints on Rouenâs influence and authority are emphasised. Chapter Five argues that Robert the Magnificent was a more assertive ruler, who actively strengthened ducal authority in Lower Normandy in spite of renewed opposition. Chapter Six considers how rebellion against William the Conqueror in 1047 reveals growing local interest in the conduct of ducal government. Victory allowed William to consolidate ducal authority in Lower Normandy, encouraging further expansion beyond its borders. Local landholders, however, resultantly received little direct ducal patronage, including scant reward in the post-Conquest settlement of England. In conclusion, while Lower Normandy had been brought firmly under ducal control by 1087, it is argued that it was only under Williamâs son, Henry I, that the regionâs aristocrats acquired any major influence over ducal policy and secured an equal position within the wider Anglo-Norman nobility.

Abstract:

Matilda of Flanders, as she is commonly known, was the wife of William II, count/duke of Normandy and, from 1066, king of the English. This thesis is a study of her, and specifically of her power and authority, with a focus on her activity in Normandy rather than in England. It is thus neither a biography nor a contribution to the study of queenship, though it does aim to contribute to the studv of countesses, if not 'countess-ship'. The existing historiography of early medieval elite women has mostly neglected both countesses and women in the eleventh century. This is especially so for Normandy, where little study has been done on Matilda and her predecessors. However, the potential for this type of study has been shown by previous work on Matilda, as well as on queens and queenship. This work builds on the existing historiography to examine Matilda in Normandy as a countess, and in comparison as a queen after 1066. The focus throughout is on contemporary sources, especially the writings of Dudo of Saint Quentin, William of Jurnieges, William of Poitiers and the more than five hundred surviving Norman and Anglo- Norman charters from the period 996-1086. The issue of legitimate marriage, which made a woman a wife and gave her access to power and authority through her family role, was critical, and Matilda's marriage can be established as legitimate and secure. The bulk of this thesis considers the activity of the comital/ducal women recorded within the Norman charters, focusing on the actions which reveal power, and the descriptions which suggest the way in which they, and their authority, were perceived. Throughout, Matilda is compared with her predecessors, but also with contemporary men, especially the male members ofthe family. Close study of the source material reveals a Norman court in the tenth and eleventh century where family women, especially the legitimate wives of the count/dukes, were important actors. Matilda, however, was distinct from her predecessors: her power and authority greater than theirs. During her lifetime, there are hints at the development of an office of countess, and she appears to have acted as both a regent and a deputy in Normandy after the Conquest of England. Her activity as a queen, and the comparison with her as a countess, sheds light on both roles, suggesting that countesses could exercise a quasi- queenly power, but also that coronation and inauguration set queens apart. However, even after Matilda's coronation, the role of 'wife' was still important, as was family power. This work thus increases our understanding of tenth- and eleventh-century Normandy, as well as contributing to the wider study of the ducal family, eleventh-century countesses and the development of the role of the queen in the Anglo-Norman realm.

Full text

Abstract:

Despite their importance in. France and Europe in the sixteenth century, the Guise have received little archival study from historians this century. This thesis overturns the myths that have surrounded the family as a result of this neglect, and re-evaluates the political aims of the Guise. They were not confined in their interests to eastern France; they possessed lands in provinces as diverse as Provence and Brittany. Moreover, they were a family with a truly European strategy with concerns in Scotland, Italy and the Empire. The Norman lands of the Guise were the wealthiest possessions of the family and provided an important base for Guise intervention in Scotland. This thesis traces the development and dynamics of the Guise affinity in Normandy, composed of clients, servants and kinsmen. There was a volatile relationship between patron and client, and the Guise regularly sought the advice and opinions of their clients in council when formulating family strategy. This strategy was one primarily concerned with family interest and not blinded by devotion to religious dogma; the Guise protected their Calvinist kinsmen and employed Calvinist servants on their estates. The position of the Guise in the popular imagination and the relationship between elite politics and the masses was highly complex. The Guise manipulated religious passions in factional manoeuvring at court and as early as 1562 established a catholic peasant league in Normandy. However, the Guise could only exploit, not control, popular forces. The research for this thesis was undertaken in Paris and Rouen over fifteen months. It attempts to construct the personnel and relationships that constituted an affinity by harnessing quantitative data drawn from gendarmerie musters, household accounts, legal and financial transactions to the more conventional sources of letters and memoirs. For example, the uncatalogued notarial records of Rouen demonstrate that the correlation between the heavy financial investment made by Guise clients in the city elite and the growth of the ultra-catholic faction in the city. The ambitions of the Guise are still misinterpreted because research has been hindered the by the prejudices of monarchical apologists, liberal nationalist and protestant historians. This thesis uses new archival material to show that the Guise pursued strategies and defended their interests within the context of sixteenth-century noble culture and aspirations, challenging assumptions about the role of monarchical power and the rise of the 'state'.

Abstract:

Invasive alien species occur within several biodiverse regions of South Africa. It is not yet fully understood the extent to which invasive alien species affect natural vegetation. It is important to classify such species based on abundance and distribution in order to determine invasion patterns and set priorities for management within a region. Such a study was adapted for the Agulhas Plain of South Africa in the Cape Floristic Region. Eucalyptus lehmannii was recognised as the top invasive alien species, occupying both natural and transformed landscapes at high densities, >130% canopy cover. Acacia saligna and Acacia cyclops are the most widely distributed species, covering 41 % and 53% of the total area. Effectively determining invasive alien species richness required the use different variables to those used in this study. Invasive alien species invasion pattern was classified into two groups, namely coastal invasion and interior invasion. These characteristics differed with regards to vegetation types and species composition. Natural vegetation within the Mountain fynbos (100% invaded), Dune fynbos (91 % invaded) and Mountain top fynbos (99% invaded) vegetation types were largely threatened by invasive alien species. Vegetation types largely affected by transformation include Elim asteraceous fynbos (89% transformed) and Renoster fynbos. The invasion patterns described could be used in prioritisation of manageable land.

Abstract:

Comprised of three regular battalions of infantry, 2nd Battalion The South Wales Borderers, 2nd Battalion The Essex Regiment, 2nd Battalion The Gloucester Regiment and Brigade HQ, 56th (Independent) Infantry Brigade was only formed in early March 1944. Its specific task was to land 'under command' of 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division on D-Day. This Division itself was made up of three brigades of very experienced infantry. What is remarkable is that 56th Infantry Brigade's infantry battalions had all been on Home Service since June 1940 and were not experienced in battle. Despite this, within only thirteen weeks of formation, 56th Infantry Brigade task was to land on Gold Beach on D-Day as follow up troops and fight inland taking the town of Bayeux by nightfall. After this the Brigade was expected to provide infantry for 7th Armoured Division in a quick push south to take Villers-Bocage. This study traces the journey made by the three battalions of 56th Brigade from 1940 through to a very concentrated forming up and training period specific to the Normandy landings in 1944. It follows their actions from the landings through to the taking of Le Havre in September 1944, by which time the Brigade had served in four different divisions and lost its 'Independent' title to become a permanent member of 49th (West Riding) Infantry Division for the remainder of the war in North West Europe. No study has previously been made of 56th Infantry Brigade and extensive use has been made of primary evidence from The National Archives and other sources in this investigation. A considerable amount of new evidence has been gathered by interviews with surviving veterans of 56th Infantry Brigade. The evidence is used to explore issues that shed new light on life in the Army at home during the war, training for war and the Normandy Campaign.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the prevalence of perineural invasion in cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). The study will determine if previously assessed perineural invasion by original pathology reports would be increased by re-review of the originally hematoxylin-eosin-(H &E) stained slides as well as review of slides reacted immunohistochemically with S100 to enhance visualization of nerves. The study will also assess whether perineural invasion or its absence in MEC is associated with clinical outcome. Thirty-one cases of major and minor salivary gland MEC were reviewed for perineural invasion and compared to the perineural invasion status stated on the original pathology report when available (13/31). All H & E-stained slides were reviewed as well as S100-reacted sections of each case’s tissue blocks that contained tumor. Patient demographics and clinical outcome were collected from electronic medical records. Perineural invasion was identified in 23% (3/13) of tumors in the original reports, 13% (4/31) of the authors' re-review of the same slides, and 29% (9/31) when cases were reacted with S100. A positive relationship was seen between the discovery of perineural invasion on H & E-stained slides and a greater number of foci of perineural invasion. Perineural invasion and larger-diameter nerve involvement was significantly associated with death at 5-year follow-up. In conclusion, immunohistochemical enhancement improves the accuracy, ease and speed of perineural invasion determination. Perineural invasion is a significant factor in the decreased survival outcome of cases of MEC. These findings support continued inclusion of the presence or absence of perineural invasion as a grading parameter in MEC.

Abstract:

Mechanization signaled the end of the cavalry but the renaissance of heavy cavalry doctrine. The tank heralded the return of breakthrough operations and maneuver warfare. Initially, the western cavalries refused doctrinal revision and chose instead to fight bitter rear guard actions against Fullerist zealots.
The Canadian Cavalry, prompted by Blitzkrieg's triumphs, effortlessly evolved into a tank force---virtually overnight. Canadian doctrine, however, was ersatz. Denied its own vast training areas, the RCAC was sandwiched into southern England and saddled with British warfighting techniques developed in the Western Desert. In Normandy, Canadian operational art was driven by Generals Simonds and Crerar, both gunners, who had neither the skill nor experience to conduct armoured warfare. Hampered by General Montgomery's inability to reproduce a strategic offensive comparable to that demonstrated on the Russian front, Allied armoured forces were squandered in mismanaged frontal attacks.
In the United States, the attempts to protect the horse forced a praetorian's revolt that ended with General Chaffee garroting the US Cavalry, eliminating it from future battlefields. The doctrinal dominance of the American Armored Force was subsequently threatened by a cabal under artillery General Leslie McNair who imposed the Tank Destroyer philosophy. Internecine squabbles and economic nationalism prevented America from producing a tank capable of meeting German panzers on even terms. Though failing technically, the US Armored force succeeded doctrinally via the Louisiana maneuvers and produced a balanced Armored Division. General Bradley's 12th Army Group arrived in France with a purposeful dogma that had been further refined at the Combat Command, Divisional, and Corps level in North Africa and Sicily.
American armour maneuvered during Operation Cobra but it did not fight massed panzers; this was soon redressed in Lorraine where American armoured doctrine reached tactical maturity. Canadian armour fought tank battles throughout Operations Spring, Totalize and Tractable, but it did not maneuver. American and Canadian armour's best opportunity for strategic victory occurred in Normandy. The Canadians, despite better tanks and favourable terrain, failed operationally and received no second chance.

Abstract:

This dissertation interrogates the relation between the French national identity, constructed around the idea of hereditary enmity with Germany, and the behaviour between French and German prisoners of war on the individual level in Normandy between 1944 and 1948. This question is important since it is widely accepted that Franco-German relations reached an all-time low during World War II, especially in areas like Normandy that had been heavily occupied between 1940 and 1944. This position is examined through an entangled analysis of low and high level records both from German and French sources, but also from American, British, and Swiss origins. It appears that individual Franco-German relations depended on the distance between the French official discourse of national recovery and the reality experienced by the civil population. During the Allied presence in Normandy, contradictions were obvious and the relations between French and German prisoners of war in Allied hands were marked with violence. When discourse and reality began to overlap, after the transfer of the prisoners to French custody, individual Franco-German relations normalised. This rapid evolution points to the symbolic character of the enmity between French and Germans, used as a tool to reinforce the national cohesion in times of threat.
