In AD 205, the praetorian prefect Plautianus was murdered in the imperial palace. The ancient sources, Dio and Herodian, tell of a plot, though they offer different versions as to who was behind it and who the target. This article will consider both accounts as well as numismatic and epigraphic evidence in an attempt to provide a new interpretation for this event.

This article examines three vernacular chronicles written from contrasting view-points: the Scalacronica of Sir Thomas Gray, whose father was linked with Edward IIโs court, and the โLongโ and โShortโ continuations of the prose Brut, both markedly sympathetic towards Thomas of Lancaster, leader of the opposition to the king. This is a period which saw a sea change in the crownโs attitude towards rebellion, but the accounts of these chronicles suggest that a significant part of the political community did not accept the crownโs new definition of treason.

Rebels and traitors, Hobbes insists, should not be prosecuted legally as citizens. As self-proclaimed enemies of the State, they should instead be dealt with by the right of war. Regardless of its merits, this claim should strike us as puzzling. It suggests that rebels, by their act of rebellion, forfeit their citizenship. But this implies that citizens can unilaterally (if unjustly) renounce their subjection to the State; and this radically voluntarist position on political obligation appears at odds with Hobbesโs social contract theory. This chapter defends the Citizenship Forfeiture Thesis. Rebels and traitors indeed lose their citizenship; their injustice dispels them from the legal order. It does not follow that the obligation, incurred in the original covenant, to simply obey the sovereign is thereby voided. This obligation is not part of the legal order; rather, it upholds it. For Hobbes, political obligation is not possessed as a citizen. Recognition of oneโs political obligation is what makes one a citizen.

Drawing and writing in real time from inside the courtroom, artist and WikiLeaks activist Clark Stoeckley here captures first-hand the extraordinary drama of The United States vs. Private Chelsea Manning, one of the most important and secretive trials in American history.
In the course of the trial, Private Manning insists that her release of the Iraq and Afghanistan war logs to WikiLeaks was an act of conscience, justified by the urgent need to reveal to the world the atrocities committed by the US military in the ostensible cause of freedom. At the prosecution table, military lawyers for the American government seek to set an example and discourage future whistle-blowers by locking away Manning for decades, possibly the rest of her life.
Stoeckleyโs vivid sketches from inside the court and beyond, together with carefully selected transcripts of the proceedings, trace the arguments as they move back and forth between the defense and the prosecution. His rendering of the trial provides both a vital record and a uniquely compelling read.

Acts of treachery and treason often depend, paradoxically, upon trust between co-conspirators. To bring down a monarchy, an insurgent may need a sophisticated plan and the support of like-minded dissidents. In order to execute such a plan, they must display trust: the slightest wrong move can betray a conspiracy and leave the plotters open to destruction. The uneasy tension between trust and treachery is a fertile area for drama to explore. Mining material ranging from classical history, English chronicle, Italian novella, and contemporary experience, the playwrights of the Renaissance commercial stage frequently presented the ambiguity of trust and treachery. This paper will consider a variety of those offerings before focusing on James Shirleyโs The Traitor, a Caroline tragedy in which the comic cowardliness of Depazzi, a hapless courtier in the service of a usurping prince, sheds unexpected light on the uneasy nature of trust and treason.
