Of Majesty and Anarchy - The Imaginative Conservative“. Brown,The Bleeding Lance(1. Once upon a time the luminous oracle of Virgil’s Fourth Eclogue consecrated the birth of a lonely and mysterious German prince who was to become the stupor mundi and immutator mirabilis of West and East, the course of his life to run arrow- straight to its zenith, then to vanish from the earth like a comet in the aether. The eerie poem, composed during the reign of Augustus in 2.
BC, described a ruler “throned in the clouds,” bearing a globe and law- book, and foretold of “a new breed of men sent down from Heaven” and of “the majestic role of circling centuries that begins anew.” On that occasion, St. Stephen’s Day, 1.
Teutonic Order in dedication to this future leader of a century—that of the brilliant Thirteenth—and blood- heir to a lineage that included Frederick Barbarossa (the boy’s grandfather), the terrorizing Henry VI (his father) and a certain Thomas von Aquino (his second- cousin). The boy’s mother, “She, who obsessed the imagination of her contemporaries as few have done,” in the words of one smitten chronicler, was descended from swashbuckling Norman kings whose rare blood, it was said, allowed her to conceive at age forty the future imperator romanorum, her first and only child. The news of this strange birth aroused mass speculation that she, the grand- daughter of Guiscard, was bearing possibly the seed of the Second Coming, possibly that of the anti- Christ. The great German epics took their final form in the Hohenstaufen period, blending solemn Latin hymns of Christian ritual with heroic tales of Christian chivalry. It was, in the words of the dashing German Romanticist Friedrich Gundolf, “that wonderful Hohenstaufen age,” in which “poets and heroes were carriers of magic, warmed through and through by Southern light.
His ascetic Christianity, influenced by St. Bernard of Clairvaux—”the very Church of Christ broken into bloom”—whom Dante chose as the final guide to the throne of God, contrasted sharply with the high- flying self- aggrandizement of his secular life: of his lively court at Palermo and at the University of Naples, animated as these institutions were by the great mathematicians, philosophers, astronomers and alchemists of his day; of his self- coronation as King of Jerusalem whilst a two- time ex- communicate from the Church—a move that so angered Pope Gregory IX that he, the pope, then ex- communicated Jerusalem itself (!) Frederick was fluent in six languages, was a poet and scholar, the author of a scientific work on falconry considered a classic to this day, and he built strange, numerologically- configured Sicilian castles that elude interpretation but impearl imagination.
He maintained close friendships with Muslim sultans and emirs who sent him lavish gifts of elephants, white peacocks and commercial treaties, and commanded the loyalty of independent Hanseatic merchant princes through whom Frederick organized his superlative customs system, the vocabulary of which was borrowed from the Arabs while entire categories of trade were entrusted exclusively to the Jews. To Matthew Paris, the author of the Chronica Majora of 1.
Messianic ruler of the West.” In the most utterly poetic work on the Middle Ages you will never read—the 1. Frederick The Second by Ernst Kantorowicz—Frederick’s eminence is summed up: “The triumph of illustrious pedigree, the extraordinary personality crafted in early- orphaned childhood at the center of the Mediterranean world, in the hinterlands of his rightful ascendancy to the German empire, at the intrigue- rich courts of popes and potentates that served as his regents; his love of learning, his translations of Aristotle. Most importantly, however, it was Emperor Frederick in whom the medieval concept of the philosophy of monarchy triumphed as a philosophy of anarchy. The product of the 1.
Great Prince,” Frederick embodied this ideal most powerfully through his tortured separation of the imperium (secular power) from the sacerdotium (papal power) and his self- appointed position between these two authorities as the figure of Justice- Incarnate on earth. Indeed, the Great Prince is both Monarchist and Anarchist: he is the summa of the great currents of the centuries before him and an anomaly to his times; he is the caretaker of Order (historical memory) and also the curator of Revolution (the creation of history). At once the devoted heir to tradition and the avowed enemy of corrupted status quo, only he, the Great Prince, is intermediary between the Law of God and the realm of mankind; he must serve exclusively the Law of Justice. Thus, by “philosophy of monarchy” we do not here refer to a kind of British or Anglo- American version of such—from James I to William of Orange, a passing of belief in Absolute Divine Right to Consent of those Governed. Instead, we mean a Romanized German concept of the Great Prince, one borne so wonderfully in the intense personality of Frederick, the climax of the Hohenstaufen. Rome Immemorial was his bloodline; revolutionary Christian maverick was his self- invention, and for this reason Frederick has been called the first modern monarch and the first modern revolutionary in Western history; Nietzsche declared him “the first European.” Oswald Spengler, in his typically striking way, summed it up thus: “Only the great personality—the It, the race, the cosmic force bound up in personality—has been creative and has effectively modified the type of entire classes and peoples.” Kantorowicz, in his beautiful book, writes: “Frederick’s greatest power lay in his own personality.” He continues: “At the zenith of his glory, this most Roman of all German Emperors possessed not only the armed forces but the personal magic to sway the princes to his will and direct their gaze to the great problems of the Roman world.” Though Frederick’s program was to renew the Roman Empire—the renovatio imperii Romanorum—this goal of .
Rather, it was but the means through which “the German came back to himself, a form of the incarnation of the German spirit made visible.”Such is how the idea of the “Great Prince” came into prominence during these Ages one would never dare call Dark. Among the earliest treatments, written during the reign of Frederick Barbarossa (Frederick I Hohenstaufen) in 1. The Policratus of John Earl of Salisbury, the first elaborate medieval treatise on politics. Scholars have called this work a landmark in the history of political speculation, the first to be written just as Western thought was becoming familiar again with the politics of Aristotle.
He must curb the malice of officials and provide that any occasion for extortion may be removed.” Ultimately, “If the Prince controverts the Law of God, his subjects are justified in refusing obedience.”This writing revived the tradition of Mirror- of- Princes (speculum principum or Fuerstenspiegel, as they were called) literature that had its origin in Persia and Ancient Greece and culminated as a tradition in Machiavelli. These works peaked during the High Middle Ages, and rather gorgeously so. Aquinas was one author of them. He believed strongly in monarchy, arguing that the . Giraldus Cambrensis, or Gerald of Wales, a Welsh nobleman who wrote histories of the universities of Paris and Oxford, continued this tradition of the Great Prince in his De Principis Instructione of 1. Louis IX (Saint Louis) of France, a great friend of Frederick II and himself an eloquent defender of Justice. The struggle between God and Caesar—that most quintessentially Western dilemma—took root in the scorched soil of Frederick’s breathtaking life .***In the Perceval of Chretien de Troyes, the Holy Lance has a single drop of blood on it, which is seen to fall from the spear during the Grail procession, and runs down the hand of the bearer.
In Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival, this becomes a stream of blood. In a French interpretation, the Peredur, there are three streams of blood and in the most famous of the French versions, the Perlesvaus, Sir Gawain sees the blood running from the Grail, which is the chalice of the Last Supper that Joseph of Arimathea used to collect the blood of Christ on the Cross. In the greatest of any version, Wagner’s Parsifal, a work that is not, to this writer, an opera but a sacred revelation, his hero could only recover the Lance once he learned Compassion, having at first been cast out of the Grail castle at Monsalvat when he turned his back on the holy wound and sufferings of King Amfortas—that is, on the sufferings of the world. Only then could Parsifal return to the great castle of the Grail knights. The Lance has been interpreted as many things but primarily as a metaphor for Eternal Justice: when the Lance is used as a weapon, the attempt to injure another results only in an increase of one’s own pains and misfortunes.
However, once aware of this wisdom of the world, the Christian hero will understand that the Lance that strikes the wound is that which also heals the wound—another way of saying that insight into the human condition only comes through one’s own experience of that condition. Parsifal, “awakened to the world by the kiss of Kundry,” comes to realize this power of the Lance and once he does, the evil domain of the world—the realm of Klingsor in that story—is destroyed. It is said that three Hohenstaufen emperors came into possession of the Holy Lance—also known as the Spear of Destiny or the Sword of Longinus—and it is thus somewhat fascinating to learn that Frederick II, bequeathed the Lance by his German imperial rival Otto IV, came to see as himself as the mediator of Justice on earth. The main tenet of secular rule in the Middle Ages was that of . Therefore, the earthly State—a product of the Fall of Man—existed with one task before it: to preserve this blessing of God. As savior and fulfiller of the Law, Emperor Frederick saw Justice as both weapon and shield. In the words of the early 2.
