Course Description
This course will examine a set of case studies of Western European celebrations – both nuptial and funereal -- from the late Middle Ages to the eighteenth century.
Together we will review music, art, fashion, and pageantry surrounding these significant life events at high and middle echelons of society.
We will also examine the materials and methods available for reconstruction of these highly symbolic ceremonies, along with the gaps in our knowledge.

Marriage scene: Nuptial of Bohemond I of Antioch and Constance de France
Bohemond came to France to seek by any means he could the hand of the Lord Louis' sister Constance, a young lady of excellent breeding, elegant appearance and beautiful face. So great was the reputation for valour of the French kingdom and of the Lord Louis that even the Saracens were terrified by the prospect of that marriage. She was not engaged since she had broken off her agreement to wed Hugh, count of Troyes, and wished to avoid another unsuitable match. The prince of Antioch was experienced and rich both in gifts and promises; he fully deserved the marriage, which was celebrated with great pomp by the bishop of Chartres in the presence of the king, the Lord Louis, and many archbishops, bishops and noblemen of the realm.
Note: The groom took the opportunity to encourage the nobility to fight in the Holy Land, and also negotiated for a marriage between Bohemond's nephew Tancred, Prince of Galilee and Constance's half-sister Cecile of France
