Book excerpt: Pendant presque mille quatre cents ans, des rois se sont succédé de manière quasiment ininterrompue sur le trône de France. Ils étaient issus de trois célèbres dynasties, les Mérovingiens, les Carolingiens et les Capétiens. A travers l'épopée tumultueuse de leurs vies et de leurs règnes, où se révèlent des personnalités diverses et parfois controversées, renaissent avec un grand éclat les heures les plus prestigieuses et les plus exaltantes de notre Histoire. Roi à douze ans, Charles VI eut un des règnes les plus longs de notre Histoire. Marié en 1384 à Isabeau de Bavière, il se libéra bientôt de la tutelle de ses oncles et gouverna par lui-même. Tout annonçait une époque brillante. Mais la démence qui le frappa, en 1392, provoqua une impitoyable guerre entre Armagnacs et Bourguignons. Pendant les rémissions de sa maladie, il tenta en vain de rétablir la paix. La victoire d'Azincourt (1415), l'assassinat de Jean sans Peur à Montereau permirent à Henry V d'Angleterre d'hériter du royaume de France. Le roi fou n'était plus qu'un spectre couronné. Cependant, ce fut lui qui sauva l'unité de la France grâce à l'amour que lui vouait son peuple. Ce règne apocalyptique eût inspiré Shakespeare, s'il était né français.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the policy objectives underlying the gift of this Order, to sixty men, on January 1 1403. Drawing primarily on Philip's household accounts, it undertakes complementary iconographical and prosopographical analyses (of the Order insignia's form, materials, design and motto; and of distinguishing common features among its recipients), refined by reference to his policy concerns around the occasion of its bestowal, to test seven hypotheses. The evidence from the analyses enables six of these (that it was purely decorative; a courtly conceit; crusade-related; a military chivalric order; a livery badge; or a military alliance) progressively to be discarded, pointing strongly to the seventh, that the Order was a specific policy alliance, designed in fashionable form, to obscure its politically sensitive purpose. The nature of that purpose then permits a revision of Philip's role in history, particularly in relation to the creation of an independent Burgundian state, and the use of a co-ordinated propaganda campaign of slogan, badge, and supporting literature, to legitimise and popularise his plans. The analytical approach also offers insights into the significance of decorative, material gift-giving; the identification of networks; Christine de Pisan's earlier political writings, and the origins of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Carol Chattaway is Honorary Research Assistant at the Royal College of Art and University College, London University. She researches on the political significance of material objects at the Burgundian Court, in the later middle ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of madness as a challenge to communities lies at the core of legal sources. Medieval Communities and the Mad: Narratives of Crime and Mental Illness in Late Medieval France considers how communal networks, ranging from the locale to the realm, responded to people who were considered mad. The madness of individuals played a role in engaging communities with legal mechanisms and proto-national identity constructs, as petitioners sought the king's mercy as an alternative to local justice. The resulting narratives about the mentally ill in late medieval France constructed madness as an inability to live according to communal rules. Although such texts defined madness through acts that threatened social bonds, those ties were reaffirmed through the medium of the remission letter. The composers of the letters presented madness as a communal concern, situating the mad within the household, where care could be provided. Those considered mad were usually not expelled but integrated, often through pilgrimage, surveillance, or chains, into their kin and communal relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This French medieval text is now published in its entirety, accompanied by an introduction and extensive synopses in English. Philippe de Mezieres (1327-1405) was a French soldier, publicist and statesman who travelled widely through much of the Christian world and served a number of rulers, particularly the King of Cyprus and Charles V and VI of France. Throughout his life Philippe de Mezieres was obsessed by the ideal that the West must reform itself in the light of the Christian view of the good life and he urged all Christian rulers to join together in a final crusade to liberate the Holy Land and the eastern Christian empires. This is the underlying theme of Le Songe du Vieil Pelerin, Philippe de Mezieres' major work. It is divided into three parts: the first is a wide-ranging survey of the Christian world, the second an examination of the state of France and the third a study of the duties and requirements of authority. The style is highly allegorical but contains much personal observation and historical fact.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En 1392, le roi de France, Charles VI, devient "fou" lors de la célèbre crise du Mans. Il règne cependant jusqu'à sa mort, en 1422. Ces années sombres pour le pays voient la guerre civile entre Armagnacs et Bourguignons s'ajouter au conflit contre les Anglais. Ceux-ci obtiennent le royaume par le traité de Troyes. Dans cette période "noire" de notre histoire, peu se sont intéressés à Charles VI. Comme si la folie l'isolant du monde l'effaçait de son règne. Pourtant, ce roi resta sur le trône. Au-delà des débats sur la pathologie dont il était atteint, il convient de s'interroger sur son maintien au pouvoir. N'était-il qu'un "fantoche" aux mains des factions luttant pour faire main-basse sur un gouvernement vacillant ? A t-il eu, en dépit de la maladie, prise sur les évènements ? Est-il possible de déceler, entre les attaques de son mal, une ligne politique ? La réponse ne se trouve telle pas dans le surnom donné par le peuple : "le Bien-Aimé" ? Ou dans ses souffrances, miroir de celles d'une population prise dans la folie de la guerre ravageant le royaume ? Dans l'esprit du temps, Charles VI, roi "par miracle consacré", ne partage t-il pas, dans son esprit souffrant, la Passion dont les "mystères" rejouent inlassablement les scènes au peuple ?"--Page 4 of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can stories of magical engraved rings or prophetic inscriptions on walls tell us about how writing was perceived before print transformed the world? Writing beyond Pen and Parchment introduces readers to a Middle Ages where writing is not confined to manuscripts but is inscribed in the broader material world, in textiles and tombs, on weapons or human skin. Drawing on the work done at the Collaborative Research Centre “Material Text Cultures,” (SFB 933) this volume presents a comparative overview of how and where text-bearing artefacts appear in medieval German, Old Norse, British, French, Italian and Iberian literary traditions, and also traces the paths inscribed objects chart across multiple linguistic and cultural traditions. The volume’s focus on the raw materials and practices that shaped artefacts both mundane or fantastical in medieval narratives offers a fresh perspective on the medieval world that takes seriously the vibrancy of matter as a vital aspect of textual culture often overlooked.
