Guy Thewes, La voie de l’État. L’axe Bruxelles-Namur-Luxembourg au 18e siècle [The way of the State. The Brussels-Namur-Luxembourg axis in the 18th century]
The renewal of Luxembourg‘s road network began as early as 1718 when the Austrian government handed over the administration of the duchy‘s roads and bridges to the provincial states. Considerable sums were invested in the great road linking Luxembourg to Namur via Bastogne and Marche. However, this road crossed land belonging to the Principality of Liège, which taxed transit trade. This is why the Austrian authorities had a new, longer road built, but one that avoided the territory of Liège. From the point of view of the government, the new road strengthened the sovereignty of the Netherlands vis-à-vis its neighbors. It expected an increase in customs revenue. On the other hand, the provincial states contested the usefulness of this investment and preferred to develop the existing road network. An analysis of trade and troop movements shows that the old road remains the main link with the other provinces of the Netherlands, even after the new route via Neufchâteau was opened in 1766.
Ralph Lange, Korrespondenz und Koordination. Die militärische Integration der Habsburger Grenzfestung Luxemburg unter Wiener Regie im Jahr 1748 [Coorespondence and Coordination. The military integration of the Habsbourg border fortress Luxembourg under the rule of Vienna in 1748]
This article draws upon a set of correspondences on the transfer of artillery at the end of the Austrian War of Succession and attempts to embed it in its historical context between a multipolar understanding of rule in the Habsbourg Empire and the particular situation of the border fortress Luxembourg in the 1740s. At this time, the fortress of Luxembourg was isolated on the periphery of the realm. Its military integration was enacted from Vienna by the director general of artillery Joseph Wenzel von Liechtenstein under the particular necessities of the ongoing war. Reverting to an extensive network of imperial agents, Liechtenstein wrote to Johann von Widmann to engineer the sending of mortars from Nuremberg to Luxembourg. Their correspondence reveals that Johann Karl Philipp von Cobenzl was commissioned to negotiate on guns in Frankfurt, providing an insight into the basic conditions of written communication, the challenges of coordination from a distance and the dynamics of broker patronage at the imperial court.
Tom Birden, Luxembourg, dernier refuge autrichien lors de la Révolution brabançonne. Mise en place d’un gouvernement et d’une administration provisoires des Pays-Bas autrichiens (1789-1791) [Luxembourg, the last Austrian refuge during the Brabant Revolution. Establishment of a provisional government and administration of the Austrian Netherlands (1789-1791)]
At the beginning of the Brabant Revolution and following the chaotic flight from Brussels on December 12, 1789, the imperial administrators found refuge in the Duchy of Luxembourg, the only province they were able to defend until the reconquest in the autumn of 1790. This paper examines in a first part the provisional governmental structures set up by Vice-Chancellor Jean-Philippe de Cobenzl, the plenipotentiary minister sent from Vienna. It analyses the composition of the Jointe de Luxembourg and its reshuffling after its relocation to Trier, an exile due to the fear of a siege of the fortress of Luxembourg. The second part – to be published in the next issue – will deal with the replacement of the Jointe by the Commission Royale de Luxembourg by Governors General Marie-Christine and Albert Casimir of Saxe-Teschen and the reconquest.
The focus of this research is on the role these executive structures played in negotiating with the insurgents, in gathering intelligence on their movements and in supporting the commander of the fortress. The article also highlights how the financial means necessary for the endurance of the fortress of Luxembourg and ultimately the reconquest of the Low Countries were acquired through a variety of loans.
Quelleneditionen
Timothy Salemme, Un vidimus mal interprété de Pierre de Vianden, prévôt de Saint-Martin de Liège, et de Conon, seigneur de Reuland (ca. 1264-ca.1276) [A misinterpreted vidimus of Pierre de Vianden, provost of St-Martin in Liège, and Conon, lord of Reuland]
The work of editing medieval documents is full of pitfalls. Among the greatest difficulties is undoubtedly that of providing a critical edition of the copy of a document contained in a cartulary. What is the level of reliability of this copy with respect to its archetype? What is the role of the editor of the cartulary as mediator between the archetype and the copy? What should be done in the presence of an abbreviated copy of a lost archetype? This paper offers a case study illustrating these issues, by focusing on a vidimus issued by Pierre de Vianden and Conon de Reuland at the end of the 1260s-early 1270s reporting an agreement between count Philippe I of Vianden and Henri V of Luxembourg. Improperly dated and misinterpreted by researchers in the course of the 20th century, this document is the object of a new analysis which places it in a totally different historical perspective.
