La presencia española en Nápoles a través del servicio doméstico (1580-1640) 2025-04-17T17:59:04+02:00 Verónica Gallego Manzanares gallego.manzanares@gmail.com <p>The Spanish presence in Naples significantly increased following the reform of the Spanish Monarchy's army in the 1580s. In addition to military staff and members of the administration, hundreds of young women also relocated to the city of Naples to become part of the domestic service in the households of the military and government elite, including those of the viceroys. Through the study of notarial and inquisitorial sources and documentation from various charitable institutions, a collective narrative is constructed for pays attention to those who provided and hired this female domestic service, the conditions under which it was performed, and how it impacted the court's social organization.</p> <p>La presencia española en Nápoles aumentó significativamente desde que se llevase a cabo la reforma del ejército de la Monarquía Hispánica en los años ochenta del siglo XVI. A la ciudad partenopea no solo llegaron militares o miembros del aparato de la administración, sino que también se desplazaron centenares de mujeres jóvenes que entraron a formar parte del servicio doméstico de las familias de la élite militar y de gobierno, incluida las de los propios virreyes. A partir del estudio de fuentes notariales e inquisitoriales, y la documentación procedente de diferentes instituciones asistenciales, se construye un relato colectivo que presta atención a quienes ofrecían y contrataban este servicio doméstico femenino; a las condiciones que presentaba dicho desempeño; y cómo afectaba todo ello en la organización social cortesana.</p> 2025-04-17T15:17:47+02:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://rime.cnr.it/index.php/rime/article/view/768 La duchesse de Berry, veuve royale et porteuse d’espoir, entre tradition et innovation / The Duchess of Berry, royal widow and symbol of hope, between tradition and innovation. 2025-04-17T17:59:03+02:00 Matthieu Mensch mensch@unistra.fr <p>Cet article analyse comment la grossesse inattendue d’une princesse qui n’est ni dauphine, ni veuve du roi porte tous les espoirs de la dynastie des Bourbons. La duchesse de Berry, enceinte au moment de l’assassinat de son époux, est placée, par la propagande royale, au centre d’un cycle allant de la mort de son époux à son accouchement. Devenue à la fois une héroïne douloureuse et courageuse, elle est aussi inscrite dans la lignée des souveraines veuves. La Restauration, au travers de la figure de la princesse, s’inscrit dans le temps long de la monarchie et entretient une forme de sentimentalisme autour de la dynastie.</p> <p>This article analyses how the unexpected pregnancy of a princess who is neither dauphin nor widow of the king carries all the hopes of the Bourbon dynasty. The Duchess of Berry, pregnant at the time of her husband's assassination, was placed by the royal propaganda at the centre of a cycle from the death of her husband to his delivery. She became both a painful and courageous heroine, and was also included in the line of widowed sovereigns. The Restoration, through the figure of the princess, takes its place in the long history of the monarchy and maintains a form of sentimentality around the dynasty.</p> 2025-04-17T13:09:59+02:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://rime.cnr.it/index.php/rime/article/view/974 Introducción 2025-04-17T17:59:03+02:00 Ángela Muñoz Fernández Angela.Munoz@uclm.es Diana Pelaz Flores diana.pelaz@usc.es 2025-04-17T12:45:44+02:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://rime.cnr.it/index.php/rime/article/view/797 La autoridad de las subrepticias: Las Camareras oficiosas de Isabel de Farnesio y María Amalia de Sajonia 2025-04-17T17:59:04+02:00 Natalia Gonzalez Heras nataliagh@ghis.ucm.es Gloria Franco Rubio gafranco@ghis.ucm.es <p>This study raises the importance of analisying in depth the different ways of accessing power by women in different spaces of society and, more specifically, within the framework of the court sphere in the Eighteenth Century. To do this, a theoretical argument is made about the meaning of the concepts of power, authority and influence from a gender perspective; fundamental concepts to understand how an informal power structure based on personal relationships was established and developed through proximity and familiarity with the figures of the queens.</p> <p>To show our hypothesis we present two hitherto unpublished cases, those of the Princess of Piombino and the Duchess of Castropignano, trusted women of Queens Isabella of Farnese and Maria Amalia of Saxony, respectively. Both Italian nobles who used their close personal ties with the royal consorts to achieve certain levels of influence over them, as well as to achieve certain levels of political intervention within the reigns of Philip V and Charles III.</p> 2025-04-17T00:00:00+02:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://rime.cnr.it/index.php/rime/article/view/774 Queens and Queenship in Premodern Hungary: Research Problems and State of the Art in 2023 2025-04-17T17:59:03+02:00 Ágnes Máté mate.agnes.klara@gmail.com <p>The essay gives a bibliographical overview of the research made on the history of Hungarian queens in the last two decades. First, it touches upon the most important dynastic relations of the different ruling houses of the Kingdom of Hungary between 1000-1600 AD. Second, it offers a checklist of the most researched aspects of queenship, focusing on the last four queens of medieval Hungary: Beatrix of Aragon, Anne Candale-Foix, Mary of Habsburg and Isabella Jagiellon. It also calls attention to themes that would be worth examining in international cooperation, e.g. the relations between Saluzzo, Poland and the Principality of Transylvania.</p> <p>&nbsp;Il saggio contiene un resoconto bibliografico sulla ricerca della storia delle regine ungheresi, fatta negli ultimi vent’anni. Per primo, vanno esaminate le più importanti relazioni dinastiche delle diverse casate reali d’Ungheria tra il secolo undicesimo e quello sedicesimo. Poi, va segnalato una lista dei temi più esaminati riguardanti lo stato reginale, mettendo in evidenza le ultime quattro regine dell’Ungheria medioevale: Beatrice d’Aragona, Anne Candale-Foix, Maria d’Asburgo e Isabella Jagellone. Finalmente, sono menzionati alcuni temi che secondo l’opinione di chi scrive, dovrebbero essere soggetti di cooperazione internazionale, come, ad esempio, le relazioni tra tre stati: il marchesato di Saluzzo, la Polonia, e il Principato della Transilvania.</p> 2025-04-17T00:00:00+02:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://rime.cnr.it/index.php/rime/article/view/811 Rompere paradigmi: intersezioni politiche e soggettività nelle forme di governo di Margherita d’Austria (1522-1586 2025-04-17T17:59:03+02:00 Silvia Maria Mantini silviamaria.mantini@gmail.com <p>Negli studi degli ultimi decenni sulle donne di potere nelle monarchie europee le figure femminili appaiono come soggetti sempre più trasversali che sfuggono ai precedenti paradigmi che la storiografia ha inteso attribuire di madri, mogli, sorelle, amanti, religiose. Emblematico è il caso di Margherita d’Austria (1522-1586): figlia dell’imperatore Carlo V, è sorella di Filippo II e di Giovanni d’Austria, moglie e vedova di Alessandro de’ Medici, poi moglie di Ottavio Farnese, madre di Alessandro Farnese. Proiettata dal padre e da due pontefici (Medici e poi Farnese) verso nozze politiche, educata, tuttavia, da intelligenti zie sovrane, trasformerà i suoi destini con un’arte della politica moderna, con sistemi amministrativi e fiscali nuovi, con un soft power capace di mediazione in governi complessi (Fiandre), committenze artistiche per architetture simboliche (Palazzo Madama, Piacenza, L’Aquila), cenacoli culturali con esperienze religiose non conformi.</p> 2024-12-31T00:00:00+01:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://rime.cnr.it/index.php/rime/article/view/824 L’Ospedale del SS.

Gonfalone di Monterotondo (Rome) is one of the oldest institutions in the city, whose origins date back to at least 1343. The papers of the Notarial Archive of Monterotondo allow us to follow its events, outlining its administrative and financial affairs. This is direct and indirect documentation which, between the 16th and 17th centuries, also testifies to the exploitation of the hospital's "pietrara". This ensured continuous income through the contracting out of the mining activity, teams of Lombard professionals obtained travertine and flakes for many Roman factories and also "per servitio de la Fabrica di S. Pietro".</p> <p>L’Ospedale del SS. Gonfalone di Monterotondo (Roma) è una delle più antiche istituzioni della città, le cui origini risalgono almeno al 1343.
