Book Synopsis Mediaeval France by : Gustave Masson
Download or read book Mediaeval France written by Gustave Masson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mediaeval France: From the Reign of Hugues Capet to the Beginning of the Sixteenth Century "The story of a nation," we conceive, is read, not only in its political annals, in the records of the battle-field, and the details of treaties of peace; but in its social life, in the development of commerce, industry, literature, and the fine arts. Accordingly, whilst attempting throughout the following pages to give the history of Mediaeval France, we have allowed a large share to what may be called the intellectual side of the subject, more especially to the formation and progress of national literature. Without pretending to exhaust the topic, we have illustrated it by extracts from several authors, accompanied, whenever necessary, by a translation in English. The reader will thus be able to follow at the same time the development of the language; and the glossary at the end of the volume will help him to understand the archaisms used in the original passages quoted in the text. We have consulted the best sources for the preparation of this work, especially the histories of Messrs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Capetians written by Jim Bradbury and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-27 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the demise of the Carolingian dynasty in 987 the French lords chose Hugh Capet as their king. He was the founder of a dynasty that lasted until 1328. Although for much of this time, the French kings were weak, and the kingdom of France was much smaller than it later became, the Capetians nevertheless had considerable achievements and also produced outstanding rulers, including Philip Augustus and St Louis. This wide-ranging book throws fascinating light on the history of Medieval France and the development of European monarchy.

Book Synopsis The Man Who Believed He Was King of France by : Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri
Download or read book The Man Who Believed He Was King of France written by Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Replete with shady merchants, scoundrels, hungry mercenaries, scheming nobles, and maneuvering cardinals, The Man Who Believed He Was King of France proves the adage that truth is often stranger than fiction—or at least as entertaining. The setting of this improbable but beguiling tale is 1354 and the Hundred Years’ War being waged for control of France. Seeing an opportunity for political and material gain, the demagogic dictator of Rome tells Giannino di Guccio that he is in fact the lost heir to Louis X, allegedly switched at birth with the son of a Tuscan merchant. Once convinced of his birthright, Giannino claims for himself the name Jean I, king of France, and sets out on a brave—if ultimately ruinous—quest that leads him across Europe to prove his identity. With the skill of a crime scene detective, Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri digs up evidence in the historical record to follow the story of a life so incredible that it was long considered a literary invention of the Italian Renaissance. From Italy to Hungry, then through Germany and France, the would-be king’s unique combination of guile and earnestness seems to command the aid of lords and soldiers, the indulgence of inn-keepers and merchants, and the collusion of priests and rogues along the way. The apparent absurdity of the tale allows Carpegna Falconieri to analyze late-medieval society, exploring questions of essence and appearance, being and belief, at a time when the divine right of kings confronted the rise of mercantile culture. Giannino’s life represents a moment in which truth, lies, history, and memory combine to make us wonder where reality leaves off and fiction begins.

Download or read book Medieval France at War written by John France and published by ARC Humanities Press. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide an overarching analysis of the French military in the medieval period. Inevitably this will involve some definition of 'French', which has meant different things at different times. The focus will be on the armies of the French monarchy and the lands close around them, extending from the Low Countries to Provence. Central themes will be recruitment and 'pay' (in the widest sense), military organisation, leadership, strategy and tactics, and weapons and arms. This will embrace chivalry and military culture and the rise of military professionalism. The result will be a comprehensive analysis of the French military in the medieval period.
