‘Dat huus stoet up viere pylare’. De betekenis van het kastelenbouwprogramma van Floris V

Frequently buildings are also defined by the significance deliberately attached to the building in question by the commissioning authority. This also applies for buildings from the Middle Ages and the significance of medieval religious buildings has more than once been the subject of research. We are intrigued by the question whether such a significance can also be pointed out in profane medieval buildings. We have chosen the castle-building programme of Floris V in West Friesland as our object of research. In doing so we distinguish two levels: the level of the type of castle – the quadrangular castle – and the level of the total concept. We see this concept as a spatially connected series of five castles, interrelated by the West- Frisian Omringdijk with Muiderslot as an outpost and with the objective of consolidating power in the newly conquered area. We have based our research on a method developed by Günter Bandmann, which proved to be practicable in the research into the significance of religious medieval buildings. On the strength of the outcome of our research based on the four categories of meaning distinguished by Bandmann: the historical, the allegorical, the symbolic and the aesthetic, we can conclude that especially the historical and allegorical categories of meaning offer a lot of leads. Particularly literary sources provide surprising insights here. It notably concerns the works written by the teacher of Floris V, Jacob van Maerlant, at Voorne under the authority of Aleid van Avesnes, the aunt at whose house Floris grew up. In our opinion the ideas and symbolism in the literary works of Van Maerlant are reflected in the type of castle chosen by Floris V and in his total concept of it. We think that in his castle-building programme Floris did not only express his power, but also his victory over the Frisians and the fact that he had avenged the murder of his father, the Roman Catholic king Willem II, by the West Frisians. In addition, he proved to aspire after a sovereign hereditary power, not an elected power as his father’s was. In his aspirations he expressed that he, as the son of a king, possessed the qualities which a good sovereign should have and that he thought he was entitled to the monarchy. In brief: we think that Floris V, just as the medieval commissioning authorities of religious buildings, deliberately gave significance to his profane buildings

Report of the Regional Co-ordination Meeting for the North Sea and Eastern Arctic (RCM NS&EA) 2013 final report European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) Vigo, Spain 09/09/2013-13/09/2013The Regional Coordination Meeting for the North Sea & Eastern Arctic (RCM NS&EA) was held in September 2013 in Vigo (Spain). The main task of the RCM’s is to coordinate the National Programmes (NP), which propose the national data collection to be carried out by the Member States (MS) under the EU Data Collection Framework (DCF). It was envisaged that, from 2104 onwards, data collection by the MS would be carried out under a new framework (DC-MAP). However, the legislation for this framework is not ready yet. Therefore the Commission has decided to extend the present DCF for the time being and the most recent NPs have been adopted for 2014. Since these NP have been adopted without any changes, there is no need for major coordinatio

The expert groups included WGCATCH, PGDATA, WKISCON2, WKRDB 2014-01, RDB–SC, STECF and the Zagreb meeting on transversal variables. ICES, as a main end user, provided feedback. A summary was presented of the progress in the regional coordination project (fishPi). This project involves over 40 participants from 12 members states from NS&EA, NA and Baltic regions, two external statistical experts, and ICES. The project has a wide scope of regional cooperation issues including sampling designs, data formats, code lists, PETS, stomach sampling, small scale and recreational sampling, and data quality software production. It has a budget of €400,000, and a one year time line and with a planned completion date of April 2016. A project with identical aims is running in paralleled in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions The majority of the ToRs of the RCM NS&EA were addressed by three subgroups: one concerned with data analysis, one with the landing obligation, and one with issues particularly related to role and work of national correspondents
