  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Valois Dynasty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
The Valois Dynasty succeeded the Capetian Dynasty as rulers of France from 1328-1589.
They were descendants of Charles of Valois, the third son of King Philip III and based their claim to be ahead of Edward III of England on a reintroduction of the Salic law.
The term "Valois Dukes of Burgundy" is employed to refer to the dynasty which began after a member of the Royal family (Philip, son of King Jean II), was given the Duchy of Burgundy.

 Faisceau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was founded on November 11, 1925 by Georges Valois, being was preceded by its newspaper, Le Nouveau Siècle - founded as a weekly on February 26, it became a daily after the party's creation.
For Valois, it arguably meant a form of Producerism, with an economy to be run by the producers (everyone involved in manufacturing goods), whereas Mathon interpreted it as an amended laissez-faire Capitalism, where businessmen like himself should be in charge, with no interference by the state.
Valois himself, whose politics were becoming more left-wing, was excluded from the party, the remains of which founded the Parti Fasciste Révolutionnaire.

 From Fascism to Libertarian Communism
Georges Valois is the enigma who stands at the center of French fascism.
Writer, publisher, economic and political organizer, Valois went from adolescent anarchism to fascism and finally to libertarian socialism.
From Fascism to Libertarian Communism is the first study of Valois to take his entire life and work as its focus, explaining how certain basic assumptions and patterns of thought took form in strikingly different ideological options.

 Preface and Acknowledgements
For example, Valois was hardly an archetypal ‘charismatic’ leader: certainly he cut neither a dashing figure, nor was he a good speaker.
Many saw Georges Sorel’s work on the power of myth of the general strike as a variation on this argument in the context of a rising group of working class leaders.
Although Valois celebrated Pétain’s role at Verdun, he called for a new elite to emerge which would forge a new social order and tie the masses to the nation-state through organic bonds.

 Georges Duby, historian and aesthete of the Middle Ages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
hen Georges Duby died on December 3, 1996, aged 77, at his house in Provence (southern France), at the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire so dear to Cézanne, it was a little as if the Middle Ages themselves were in mourning.
Not that he had not written any works dating back to the Carolingians (kings of France between 751 and 987) or extending to the Valois (who reigned from 1328 to 1589); it is just that the first three centuries of France under the Capetians were truly his.
Georges Duby was also editor in chief for Histoire de la France urbaine (Seuil, 1985), joint editor with Michel Laclotte on Histoire artistique de l'Europe (Seuil, 1995), with Michelle Perrot on Histoire des femmes en Occident (5 volumes, Plon, 1990) and with Philippe Ariès on Histoire de la vie privée (5 volumes, Seuil, 1985).

Like du Bousquier, like the Chevalier de Valois, she had a policy of her own; she was on the watch for circumstances, awaiting the propitious moment for a move with the shrewdness of maternal instinct.
Never did the Chevalier de Valois, or du Bousquier, mount the steps of the double stairway leading to the portico of this house without saying to himself, one, that it was fit for a peer of France, the other, that the mayor of the town ought to live there.
Madame Granson and the Chevalier de Valois, although they could not explain to themselves Mademoiselle Cormon's inconsistencies, had detected her naive glances in that direction, the meaning of which seemed clear enough to make them both resolve to ruin the hopes of the already rejected purveyor, --hopes which it was evident he still indulged.

Valois provides a particularly interesting commentary on this, writing that war had given its participants an understanding of the nature of man that years of school had failed to achieve.
Valois did not so much celebrate war as derive lessons from it: for example, he wrote about the emergence of a sense of fraternity in his battalion, where men had used the egalitarian-familiar 'tu' form of address.
Even Valois, who is generally accepted to have been notably uncharismatic, argued that: 'In order to be great, strong, prosperous, a nation needs leaders', something which he held was unlikely to emerge in the liberal state which was designed to produce mediocrity.

 Adventures in Philosophy: A Brief History of Political Philosophy
When Woodrow Wilson promulgated his famous Fourteen Points, Georges Clemenceau (picture) remarked that "Our Father in Heaven would have been content with ten." This and others of his sayings caused Americans to regard his character as that of a cynical politician, narrow-minded French nationalist, advocate of power politics, and victim of French propaganda.
In 1871 he had protested against the peace dictated by Bismarck; he always expressed a hope for the return of Alsace to France; during World War I, he encouraged the French to resist and vanquish the German onslaught; and he was held responsible for the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles.
But very soon, the militant workers turned against him who, with his pupil Georges Valois as intermediary, negotiated with the royalist Charles Maurras, the leader of the "Action Française." The outbreak of the war, in 1914, prevented their alliance.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre
Margaret of Valois stated in her account that it was Rets, his former tutor, whom Catherine sent to reason with him, who eventually succeeded in obtaining the king's consent.
In February Alessandrino, who had vainly endeavoured to prevent the marriage of Margaret of Valois with the Protestant Henry of Bourbon, closed his report with these words: "I am leaving France without accomplishing anything whatever: I might as well not have come." Let us be mindful of this tone of discouragement, this acknowledgment of failure.
He believed that the Valois had just escaped a most terrible conspiracy which, had it succeeded, would have unfitted France for the struggle of Christian against Turk.

 An Old Maid - Chapter I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
The Chevalier de Valois of Alencon was accepted by the highest aristocracy of the province as a genuine Valois; and he distinguished himself, like the rest of his homonyms, by excellent manners, which proved him a man of society.
Though his long slim legs, supporting a lank body, and his pallid skin, were not indicative of health, Monsieur de Valois ate like an ogre and declared he had a malady called in the provinces "hot liver," perhaps to excuse his monstrous appetite.
The circumstance of his singular flush confirmed this declaration; but in a region where repasts are developed on the line of thirty or forty dishes and last four hours, the chevalier's stomach would seem to have been a blessing bestowed by Providence on the good town of Alencon.

But it was diffcult to annule his marriage, only the pope could do it, and by the moment the throne of Saint Peter was empty.
Thanks to Valois and Robert d'Artois' suggestions, Louis ordered the second to get rid of Marguerite by any means.
By the same time Marguerite was murdered in her prison, Enguerrand de Marigny, who had been Philippe le Bel's chancellor, was arrested by instigation of Charles de Valois, who had always feel a terrible hatred for the minister.

Well before 1914 V61kisch ideology, the set of ideas which are crucial to the understanding of nazism, had found a widespread acceptance in German society, notwithstanding a remarkable flowering of the intellectual disciplines in that country, reminiscent of the classical period around 1800, over which V61kisch ideology nevertheless gained the upper hand.
European socialists of the extreme left felt it in consequence essential to teach the proletariat to despise anything that smacked of bourgeois or liberal values, to hold in contempt bourgeois virtues and morals, and the bourgeois' respect for the law, for legal forms, for democratic government.
George Sorel's work is well known today, and yet when in 1908 he published his Reflections on Violence, he was not saying anything that sounded unusual in syndicalists' ears.

Besides "A Nonspecialist's Guide to the Current Debate" (George Alter), contributions have been included about, among other subjects, "Mothers and the State in Britain, 1904-1914" (Ellen Ross), changing conjugal relations (Wally Seccombe), the mythology of childhood (Mary Jo Maynes) and demographic nationalism (Susan Cotts Watkins).
This is the first major biography of Georges Valois (1878-1945, real name Alfred Georges Gressent), whose political career and ideological evolution was, according to the author, one of the most exceptional in the history of the Third Republic France.
Valois moved from anarcho-syndicalism in his youth, via the Action française to fascism, when he founded the Faisceau, the first openly fascist movement in the 1920s, to end up as a nonconformist French leftist, who died in Bergen-Belsen, as a resister during the Occupation.

 Introduction to Valois Burgundy
Richard Vaughan in his Valois Burgundy presents a succinct account of the growth of Burgundian power.
The Dukes of Burgundy can be said to have suffered the same disorder as their Valois relatives in France, what Brigitte Buettner has identified as "vello-mania." Like his great uncle Charles V, Philip the Good was active in the commissioning of new texts and translations.
Controlling many of the lands that would become part of Valois Burgundy, Girart, like Philip, was a vassal of the French king, and both clashed with their feudal lord.

These are manifestations of their quest to allow saved, born-again Americans to experience the rapture and survive a nuclear strike against the 'rogues' in Iran, North Korea, China, or Russia.
It is in this context that Frederick Simonelli's excellent study of George Lincoln Rockwell and his American Nazi Party should be read and appreciated as a remarkably clear-minded, original and well-written study of the roots of American neo-Nazism.
George Lincoln Rockwell was the first child of George Lovejoy "Doc" Rockwell, an egotistical vaudeville comedian with little interest in his children, and Claire Schade Rockwell, a talented toe dancer and child stage star who became a submissive and largely ineffectual woman when she married Doc, remaining so even after their divorce nine years later.

Hitler too was concerned by the affective appeals of the left, though he was more directly influenced in his youth by the rise of Austrian politicians who sought to counter the rise of socialism with quasi-religious appeals.
The first was Georg Schönerer, who had people pay tribute to him as 'Führer' and abolished the Christian calendar for supporters.
The leader of the French Faisceau, Georges Valois, who had fought in the First World War, did not so much celebrate war as derive lessons from it – such as the need for leadership and to create a new spirit of community to ensure the achievement of collective tasks.
