"The twenty-first century has seen a surge in cross-linguistic research on forms of address from increasingly diverse and complementary perspectives. The present edited collection is the inaugural volume of Topics in Address Research, a series that aims to reflect that growing interest. The volume includes an overview, followed by seventeen chapters organized in five sections covering new methodological and theoretical approaches, variation and change, address in digital and audiovisual media, nominal address, and self- and third-person reference. This collection includes work on Cameroonian French, Czech, Dutch, English (from the US, UK, Australia, and Canada), Finnish, Italian, Mongolian, Palenquero Creole, Portuguese, Slovak, and Spanish (in its Peninsular and American varieties). By presenting the work in English, the book offers a bridge among researchers in different language families. It will be of interest to pragmatists, sociolinguists, typologists, and anyone focused on the emergence and evolution of this central aspect of verbal communication"--

At the beginning of the twelfth century, the region around Paris had a reputation for being the land of unruly aristocrats. Entrenched within their castles, the nobles were viewed as quarrelling among themselves, terrorizing the countryside, harassing churchmen and peasants, pillaging, and committing unspeakable atrocities. By the end of the century, during the reign of Philip Augustus, the situation was dramatically different. The king had created the principal governmental organs of the Capetian monarchy and replaced the feudal magnates at the royal court with loyal men of lesser rank. The major castles had been subdued and peace reigned throughout the countryside. The aristocratic families remain the same, but no longer brigands, they had now been recruited for royal service.In his final book, the distinguished historian John Baldwin turned to church charters, royal inventories of fiefs and vassals, aristocratic seals and documents, vernacular texts, and archaeological evidence to create a detailed picture of the transformation of aristocratic life in the areas around Paris during the four decades of Philip Augustus's reign. Working outward from the reconstructed biographies of seventy-five individuals from thirty-three noble families, Baldwin offers a rich description of their domestic lives, their horses and war gear, their tourneys and crusades, their romantic fantasies, and their penances and apprehensions about final judgment.Knights, Lords, and Ladies argues that the aristocrats who inhabited the region of Paris over the turn of the twelfth century were important not only because they contributed to Philip Augustus's increase of royal power and because they contributed to the wealth of churches and monasteries but also for their own establishment as an elite and powerful social class.

Quatrième de couverture : Les décors héraldiques et emblématiques qui ornent encore châteaux, abbayes et maisons du Moyen Âge et de la période moderne, interpellent souvent l'observateur, qu'il soit amateur, étudiant ou même historien chevronné. À la fois séduits et intrigués par ces signes graphiques aussi esthétiques qu'étranges, les passionnés sont souvent décontenancés par l'apparente complexité de ces compositions, les termes techniques qui servent à les décrire ou encore les multiples interprétations qu'elles génèrent. Quel paradoxe pour des signes précisément créés pour communiquer, faire connaître et comprendre ! L'objectif de ce manuel est de rendre accessibles à tous les innombrables informations que nous livrent les emblèmes du Moyen Âge, de faire partager au plus grand nombre les approches renouvelées de ces signes fascinants. Cet ouvrage synthétique, fondé sur des analyses de sources et de cas pratiques appréhendés dans leurs contextes, sans négliger les fondamentaux du blason et une lecture théorique de ces emblèmes, propose une approche dynamique de l'emblématique vécue. Richement illustré, il offre les outils nécessaires pour décrypter non seulement les armoiries, mais aussi les cimiers, cris de guerre et devises.

"Images and image cycles with genealogical content were everywhere in the high and later Middle Ages. They represent families related by blood as well as successive office holders and appear as family trees and lineages of single figures in manuscripts, on walls and in stained glass, and in sculpture and metalwork. Yet art historians have hardly remarked on the frequency of these images. Considering the physical contexts and functions of these works alongside the goals of their patrons, this volume examines groups of figural genealogies ranging across northern Europe and dating from the mid-twelfth to the mid-fourteenth century. Joan A. Holladay considers how they were used to legitimize rulers and support their political and territorial goals, to reinforce archbishops' rights to crown kings, to cement relationships between families of founders and their monastic foundations, and to commemorate the dead. The flexibility and legibility of this genre was key to its widespread use"--
