Sicard Of Benevento
Sicard (died 839) was the Prince of Benevento from 832. He was the last prince of a united Benevento which covered most of the Mezzogiorno. On his death, the principality descended into civil war which split it permanently (except for very briefly under Pandulf Ironhead from 977 to 981). He was the son and successor of the Spoletan Sico. He warred against the Saracens and his neighbours continually, especially Sorrento, Naples, and Amalfi. He was the strongest military and economic power in the region. By the ''Pactum Sicardi'' of 4 July 836, he signed a five-year armistice with the three aforementioned cities and recognised the right of travel of their merchants. Nonetheless, war continued. In a war of 837 with Duke Andrew II of Naples, the latter called in the first Saracens as allies and a trend began, drawing more and more Muslims into Christian wars on the peninsula. He also captured Amalfi in 838 by sea. Despite his warmaking, he was also a builder. He built a new chu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sichard
Sichard ( la, Sichardus; it, Sicardo) was a 9th century Italian monk. He was the Abbot of Farfa from ''c''.830 to 842. His abbacy corresponds with a drop in the number of property transactions involving Farfa, perhaps because "[its] wealth was by that time sufficient to cover major building at the abbey itself." Sichard added an oratory (worship), oratory to the existing abbey. On Sichard's death in 842, the Emperor Lothair I intervened to appoint Bishop Peter II (Bishop of Spoleto), Peter of Spoleto in charge of the abbey until an abbot, Hilderic of Farfa, Hilderic, could be elected (844). Sichard's epitaph was copied into the ''Libellus constructionis Farfensis'', the earliest history of Farfa, of which only a fragment survives in an eleventh-century lectionary. The rediscovery of most of the epitaph in 1959 demonstrates that the author of the ''Libellus'' was an accurate copyist.Costambeys, 13–14. Cf. also C. McClendon, ''The Imperial Abbey of Farfa'' (New Haven: 1987), 2, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sicard Of Cremona
Sicardus of Cremona (Latin: ''Sicardus Cremonensis''; Italian: ''Sicardo'') (1155–1215) was an Italian prelate, historian and writer. Biography Sicardus was born in Cremona, probably to the Casalaschi family, and probably in the 1150s. His brother Bocardus is sometimes called ''Bocardus Casalascus''. He studied law in Bologna and Mainz, though he could not take a degree from Mainz since the university had not yet been founded or received a charter. Sicardus himself records in his ''Cronica'' that he received minor holy orders in 1179 from Bishop Offredus of Cremona (1168–1185). In 1180, while living in Mainz, he composed the ''Summa canonum''. He returned to Cremona. He was ordained a subdeacon by Pope Lucius III in 1183, and was sent to the emperor Frederic Barbarossa, to arrange a meeting between the emperor and the pope. Bishop Offredus died on 9 August 1185, and Sicardus was elected bishop of Cremona, before 23 August 1185, when he signed an agreement with the Canons ...

Bernart Sicart De Maruèjols
Bernart Sicart de Maruèjols ( fl. 1230) was a Languedocian troubadour from Marvejols in Lozère. His lone surviving work, a ''sirventes'' entitled ''Ab greu cossire'' ("With grave worrying"), is of historical interest for its commentary on the Albigensian Crusade and the lost culture of Languedoc from a native perspective. The ''sirventes'' was set to the metre and melody of another by Guillem de Cabestany. Stylistically it follows a work by Peire Cardenal. Essentially it is an attack on the French crusaders, the military orders of the Temple and Hospital, and the clerics who preached the Crusade and supported the Papacy. It is a lament full of sadness as well as anger and hatred, simultaneously emotionally intense and bitingly sarcastic. It can be dated definitively to 1230 because of the Treaty of Paris the prior year, by which Raymond VII of Toulouse signed over his rights in southern France to the French king Louis IX. The poem was dedicated to James I of Aragon James I t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sicart De Figueiras
Isarn or Izarn was a 13th-century French Dominican missionary, inquisitor, and writer. Among his works is a fictitious dialogue between himself and an adherent of Catharism. "News of the Heretic" Sometime before 1292 Isarn wrote a 700-verse poetic dialogue in Occitan between himself and a fictitious Cathar bishop named Sicart de Figueiras. ''Novas del eretge'' ("News of the Heretic"), or ''The Controversy of Izarn, with an Albigense Theologian'', as it is known, is a long diatribe against Catharism and its alleged doctrines. Isarn is sometimes inaccurate, but his ignorance, and that of many Catholics, as to the particulars of Cathar dogma, is probably the result of the meetings in thickets and bushes which he describes. The Cathars, in order to preach in the vernacular from vernacular Scriptures, often held secret meetings in the woods to escape notice. Isarn seems to believe that Cathars and Waldensians both believe some form of Manichaeism. He defends marriage against virgini ...
