Judging from repetitious appearances of her marital arms in the painted line-endings, the Psalter-Hours John Rylands Library Latin MS 117 probably belonged to Jeanne of Flanders (c.1272–1333), daughter of Count Robert III of Flanders and in 1288 second wife to Enguerrand IV of Coucy. Yet the line-endings also contain some 1,800 diminutive painted escutcheons, many of which refer to other members of the local nobility active during the 1280s. This study, based on an exhaustive survey of the total heraldic and codicological evidence, suggests that the majority of the extant Psalter predated the Hours and that the two parts were combined after the 1288 marriage. The ‘completed’ manuscript bears witness to major events that unfolded in and around the Coucy barony over the course of the decade. It suggests a complex relationship between Jeanne of Flanders and a lesser member of the local nobility, a certain Marien of Moÿ, who may have served as her attendant.
Folembray and Attolae curtis , of which the former was owned by Rheims but lay in the diocese of Laon, while the latter was owned by Laon but lay in the diocese of Rheims. The disputes turned on the question of whether these churches should be considered as mere chapels dependent upon other churches, at Coucy and Iuviniaca villa respectively, or whether they were themselves autonomous and independent parish churches in their own right, as Hincmar of Rheims argued for Folembray, and Hincmar of Laon for Attolae curtis . 11 The two cases mirrored each other, and in
Christianity not as one who had committed an error, nor as one who had been seduced by bodily temptations and appetites, but rather as one who had been convinced by Christianity and, especially, as one who intended to harm Judaism in a severe manner. His Jewish past, and at times also his expertise in Jewish writings, gave him destructive potential as one who intended to harm, and often did harm, the very essence of Jewish existence in the Christian world.

Luynes became governor and lieutenant general of the Ile-de-France, with a reservation on the offices of governor and lieutenant general of Paris, which he secured in 1620 after the incumbent died. Mayenne also resigned to Luynes the governments of the Picard fortresses and towns of Noyon, Coucy, Chauny, and Soissons.77 The king in December 1618 named Luynes’s wife first lady of honor and superintendent of the queen’s household, an office suppressed by Henri IV, recreated for her, and suppressed again in 1623
] their ladies and maidens, to flee to Meaux in Brie; one after another other, they fled, wearing only their nightshirts. They did the same in Normandy, between Paris and Noyon, Paris and Soissons towards the lands of the lord of Coucy. And in these two regions, they devastated more than eighty castles, beautiful homes, and worthy manors of knights and esquires. They would have killed and destroyed
Rouen to reconcile and pacify those of this city who like the Parisians had risen up. They killed their mayor 54 and demolished his home along with many other crimes. Therefore, the king with the dukes of Burgundy and Bourbon, Lord Coucy 55 and Arbeti, and many other knights, soon returned to his castle in the Bois de Vincennes. He dispatched the duke of Burgundy and Lord Coucy to the castle of Saint Antoine to pacify the

Rashi adds here to that which appears in the Talmud and, in characteristic fashion, states that at the time that the Temple was standing, the convert was also required to bring a sacrifice, and if he did not do so the process of conversion was incomplete.

for the classified buildings, photographs aimed to both document their state with a view to reconstruction and to symbolise the damage to the French collective identity. An example of this is Figure 4.4 , which shows ‘the ruins of the town’ in Coucy le Chateau, in Northern France. 33 The amount of rubble in the foreground and the few walls left standing in the background prevented the reader from identifying what exactly had been destroyed. It could have been a classified monument or just a villager’s house, and the fact that the caption did not identify the

Her father, the duc de Montbazon, already master of the king’s hunt (grand veneur), governor of Nantes, and a knight of Saint Esprit, now became governor of the Ile-de-France and the Picard fortresses of Noyon, Chauny, Coucy, and Soissons. In 1620, he was named the Queen Mother’s chevalier d’honneur and lieutenant general of lower Normandy, and after Luynes’s death, he became governor and lieutenant general of the city of Paris.
