The Bastard Kings and their families

This is series of posts are complementary to this historical parallels post from the JON SNOW FORTNIGHT EVENT, and it's purpouse to discover the lives of medieval bastard kings, and the following posts are meant to collect portraits of those kings and their close relatives.

In many cases it's difficult to find contemporary art of their period, so some of the portrayals are subsequent.

1) Aethelstan I of England (894 – 939), son of Edward the Elder and his wife Ecgwynn

2) Edward the Elder (c. 874 –924), son of Alfred the Great and his wife Ealhswith

3) Æthelflæd of Mercia (c. 870 – 918), daughter of Alfred the Great and his wife Ealhswith

4) Eadgifu of Wessex (? - c. 951), daughter of Edward the Elder and his wife Ælfflæd; and her son with Charles III of France, Louis IV of France (920/921 – 954)

5) Edmund I of England (920/921 – 946), son of Edward the Elder and his wife Eadgifu of Kent

6) Eadwig I "All-Fair" of England (c. 940 – 959), son of Edmund I of England and his wife Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury

7) Edgar I of England (944 – 975), son of Edmund I of England and his wife Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury

8) Eadred I of England (c. 923 – 955), son of Edward the Elder and his wife Eadgifu of Kent

9) Eadburh of Winchester (921/924-951/953), daughter of Edward the Elder and his wife Eadgifu of Kent

Home Alone dir. by Chris Columbus, written/prod. by John Hughes (1990) + Louis IV of France by Charles de Steuben

The English speaking peoples bring other preconditions to what we may call the people's will, the voting system, than, say, the French — the Latin peoples in general. The Latin peoples, especially the French, certainly carried out the revolution of the eighteenth century, but the French people today are more royal than any other. To be royal doesn't only mean to have a king at the top. Naturally a person whose head has been cut off cannot run around; but the French as a people are royal, imperialistic, without having a king. It has to do with the mood of soul. This “all are one” feeling, the national consciousness, is a real remnant of the Louis IV mentality.

Trompe-l’œil ft. Napoleon and Charles IV of Spain

1801

Laurent Dabos

Location: Marmottan Museum

A trompe-l’œil is a type of painting which creates an optical allusion which tricks the viewer into perceiving painted objects or spaces as real. This style of painting dates back to ancient times, but the term itself originated during the Napoleonic Era when it was first used by Louis-Léopold Boilly as the title of his 1800 painting.

Loyal brothers

The Capetian kings found their brothers no more difficult than their sons. The exceptions were the brothers of Henri I, Robert and Eudes, but thereafter the younger Capetians developed a tradition of loyalty to their elders. Robert of Dreux, the brother of Louis VII, who was the focus of a feudal revolt in 1149, was only a partial exception, for at that date the king was still in the East, and the real object of the hostility was the regent Suger. By contrast, Hugh of Vermandois was described by contemporaries as the coadjutor of his brother, Philip I. St Louis's brothers, Robert of Artois, Alphonse of Poitiers, and Charles of Anjou, never caused him any difficulties, and the same can be said of Peter of Alençon and Robert of Clermont in the reign of their brother Philip III. Even the disturbing Charles of Valois, with his designs on the crowns of Aragon and Constantinople, was always a faithful servant to his brother Philip the Fair, and to the latter's sons. The declaration which he made when on the point of invading Italy in the service of the Pope is revealing:

"As we propose to go to the aid of the Church of Rome and of our dear lord, the mighty prince Charles, by the grace of God King of Sicily, be it known to all men that, as soon as the necessities of the same Church and King shall be, with God's help, in such state that we may with safety leave them, we shall then return to our most dear lord and brother Philip, by the grace of God King of France, should he have need of us. And we promise loyally and in all good faith that we shall not undertake any expedition to Constantinople, unless it be at the desire and with the advice of our dear lord and brother. And should it happen that our dear lord and brother should go to war, or that he should have need of us for the service of his kingdom, we promise that we shall came to him, at his command, as speedily as may be possible, and in all fitting state, to do his will. In witness of which we have given these letters under our seal. Written at Saint-Ouen lès Saint-Denis, in the year of Grace one thousand and three hundred, on the Wednesday after Candlemas."

This absence of such sombre family tragedies as Shakespeare immortalised had a real importance. In a society always prone to anarchy the monarchy stood for a principle of order, even whilst its material and moral resources were still only slowly developing. Respectability and order in the royal family were prerequisites, if the dynasty was to establish itself securely.

The Formation of the Valois Burgundian Empire – Philip the Bold

Philip the Bold, the first Valois Duke of Burgundy Origins of the Burgundian Kingdom Long ago, in the mists of time, there was an island, called in Old Norse, Burgundarholm. The island’s inhabitants were primitive tribes of Scandinavian origin who were extremely mobile and considered nomads and migrants. These tribes first settled on the island of Bornholm before moving on to the mainland in…

The affirmation of the Capétiens and the expansion of the royal domain in France (987-1461)

« Atlas historique mondial », Grataloup, Les Arènes, 2019

via cartesdhistoire

In 987, the royal domain (the lands on which the King of France directly exercises his power) was limited to the 98le-de-France. Elsewhere, his dominance rests on more or less strong feodo-vassal links.

Between the Xth and 12th centuries, the king must compose with the influence of the great princes of the kingdom (dukes, counts). They are the ones who elect Hugues Capet to succeed in 987 the last Carolingian, Louis V. Certainly, the Capetians have strengths, starting with the sacred, and they manage to expand their area of influence, but some princes manifest desires for autonomy, such as the Count of Flanders or the Plantagenêts, whose domains extend in 1170 from Normandy to Gascon.

The reigns of Philippe Auguste (1180–1223), Louis VIII (1223–1226) and Saint Louis (1226–1270) mark the affirmation of Capetian power. The former extends his influence in Flanders and Champagne. He triumphs over the Plantagenêts and integrates Normandy, Anjou, Maine (1204) as well as a part of the Auvergne (1213). He starts a push towards the Languedoc pursued by his son Louis VIII. These conquests are then consolidated by St. Louis.

In the 13th century the share of the royal domain in the kingdom increases and with it the direct influence of the king. Less taxable the ties between men and men, his power is increasingly territorialized.

In 1328, the death without heir of Charles IV, the last son of Philippe IV the Bel, raises the question of the royal succession; grafted on the old Franco-English rivalry, it leads to the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). Charles VII wins and conquers the entire kingdom except Calais. Despite hardships, war helps strengthen the royal ideology (a very Christian and divine lawful king) and the royal state (especially in its ability to collect taxes). At the end of the Middle Ages, the indirect branch of the Valois thus holds the kingdom firmly.
