  Female majesty, from the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages - heritage and metamorphoses

  Les femmes de la famille impériale ou royale, impératrices, reines ou « princesses », de la basse Antiquité au Moyen Âge, jouissent d’une position protocolaire souvent assortie de prérogatives et de privilèges. Cette position est le fruit d’un héritage complexe, entre traditions gréco-romaines lentement sédimentées et pratiques germaniques variées. Un atelier sur la figure de la souveraine, entre Orient et Occident, viserait, par une suite de rapports de synthèses problématisés, à définir rang et position de la souveraine sur le temps long.

  Two PhD positions in the Emmy-Noether junior research group on "power and influence: influencing emperors between Antiquity and the Middle Ages"

  Since rulers of the Imperial Roman Period and the Early Middle Ages occupied the highest (secular) position, individuals who exerted influence on them enjoyed a great extent of power. As a consequence, there was bitter rivalry between the various agents and much thinking about legitimate and illegitimate influence. These exercises and concepts of personal influence are the topic of a new Emmy-Noether junior research group, which is offering two PhD positions.

  Personal Influence on the Rulers of Imperial Rome and the Early Middle Ages

  Since rulers of the Imperial Roman Period and the Early Middle Ages occupied the highest (secular) position, individuals who exerted influence on them enjoyed a great extent of power. As a consequence, there was bitter rivalry between the various agents, which is reflected in discourses on legitimate and illegitimate influence. The goal of the conference is to establish interpersonal influence as a subject of historical research. Furthermore the study of influence on rulers is to make a contribution towards political history as well as the history of mentalities and discourse.
