Representations were divided into five categories - namely textual, visual, material, heraldic, and performative representation. A comparison was made between the two dynasties of the Hungarian Angevins and the Hunyadi, which lead to the conclusion that under king Matthias Hunyadi (r. 1458-1490), Stephen was represented more effectively and in new forms. This was in spite of the Hungarian Angevins being pioneers in the representation of Stephen, since they had had a greater urgency to legitimize themselves using representation after the previous Árpádian dynasty had ended in 1301. The thesis used a broad selection of source-types - (illuminated) chronicles, frescoes, coins, seals, altarpieces, and church interiors and exteriors - to trace the forms that were given to the representations of Stephen.Show less

De nadruk wordt gelegd op Vysjinski's vaardigheden in de kruisverhoren, zijn actieve pogingen een narratief rondom de processen te creëren en de invloed die hij daarmee had op verslaggevers in het Westen. Geconcludeerd wordt dat Vysjinksi een onmiskenbare speler in het grote theaterspel was en dat zijn invloed de showprocessen legitiem deden lijken.Show less

Terrorists are enormously benefitting from the increasing openness of the Area of Freedom Security and Justice (AFSJ) to perpetuate attacks. An intelligence service across the EU, comparable to the American FBI, would come as logical consequence. To this end, Europol, the European agency tasked with assisting MSs in intelligence cooperation, was established. However, it still lacks vital executive powers such as the ones to monitor suspects, arrest and launch its own investigations. This thesis focuses on how the lack of executive powers hindered Europol’s role as an intelligence actor during the deadly attacks of November 15, 2015 in Paris. The attacks are considered as a good example of transnational threat since they were coordinated by cell located in Belgium and valuable material of analysis because of the poor involvement of the agency. Finally, the dissertation sheds light on whether the events that affected the French capital triggered any important change at Europol’s mandate in counter-terrorism.Show less

Het onderzoek naar uitingen in de dagbladpers, ingezonden brieven en bevolkingsenquêtes schetst een beeld van de ontwikkeling in reacties van de Nederlandse bevolking en hun verwachting ten aanzien van een kernoorlog.Show less

Both sides raided and skirmished to control strongholds on the major rivers (Rhine and Waal) and to encircle Utrecht. The final offensive of the count was a chevauchee of almost 3000 horses, which forced the Bishops surrender in June 1356. The forces collected by the count were mostly from Guelders and Holland but also from other principalities which bordered the great rivers. Their interest in trade and tolls is likely to have been a key factor to explain their involvement.Show less
