Book Synopsis Los viajeros medievales by : Maria Serena Mazzi
Download or read book Los viajeros medievales written by Maria Serena Mazzi and published by Antonio Machado Libros. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la Edad Media se viaja por motivos políticos, por trabajo, para rezar o para estudiar: por los caminos se encuentran reyes y mercaderes, peregrinos y delincuentes, clérigos y juglares, marginados y caballeros andantes. Se navega por ríos, por lagos, por canales, por mares o por el océano. Este libro nos presenta a esta variada humanidad en camino mientras atraviesa países y continentes; reconstruye sus trayectos, sus penalidades, sus miedos, sus emociones. ¿Qué significaba ponerse en camino dejando atrás el propio hogar?, ¿cuáles eran los modos concretos de viajar?, ¿qué conocimientos nacían del saber geográfico y cuáles eran solo fantasías?, ¿cuáles eran los países por entonces conocidos?, ¿qué relaciones se establecían con los extranjeros? Curiosidad, inquietud, fe, deseo de aventura, ansias de conocer, necesidades materiales o exigencias del trabajo animan sin cesar este trasiego de gentes. Ningún libro de viajes, por muy fiel que sea, podrá describir la intensidad y la dimensión que caracterizaban el ir y venir de personas normales y corrientes por los caminos medievales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second update of "A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology," which appeared in 2002. It is meant to do two things: to present references to works on medieval military history and technology not included in the first two volumes; and to present references to all books and articles published on medieval military history and technology from 2003 to 2006. These references are divided into the same categories as in the first two volumes and cover a chronological period of the same length, from late antiquity to 1648, again in order to present a more complete picture of influences on and from the Middle Ages. It also continues to cover the same geographical area as the first and second volume, in essence Europe and the Middle East, or, again, influences on and from this area. The languages of these bibliographical references reflect this geography.

Book Synopsis Medieval Warfare 1300–1450 by : Kelly DeVries
Download or read book Medieval Warfare 1300–1450 written by Kelly DeVries and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War was epidemic in the late Middle Ages. It affected every land and all peoples from Scotland and Scandinavia in the north to the southern Mediterranean Sea coastlines of Morocco, North Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East in the south, from Ireland and Spain in the west to Russia and Turkey in the east. Nowhere was peaceful for any significant amount of time. The period also saw significant changes in military theory and practice which altered the ways in which campaigns were conducted, battles fought, and sieges laid; and changes in the leadership, recruitment, training, supply and financing of armies. There were changes in the relationship between those waging warfare, from generals to irregular troops, and the society in which they lived and for or against which they fought; the frequency of popular rebellions and the participation in them by townspeople and peasants; changes in the desire to undertake Crusades, and changes in technology, including but not limited to gunpowder weapons. This collection gathers together some of the best published work on these topics. The first section of seven papers show that throughout Europe in the later Middle Ages generals led and armies followed what are usually defined as "modern" strategy and tactics, contrary to popular belief. The second part reprints nine works that examine the often neglected aspects of the process of putting and keeping together a late medieval army. In the third section the authors discuss various ways that warfare in the fourteenth and fifteenth century affected the society of that period. The final sections cover popular rebellions and crusading.

Book Synopsis Handbook of World Exchange Rates, 1590–1914 by : Markus A Denzel
Download or read book Handbook of World Exchange Rates, 1590–1914 written by Markus A Denzel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a world economy emerged from the 16th-17th centuries onwards, a global cashless payment system arose. This had its base in Europe, first in Italy, then in the rising regions of the north-west, with Amsterdam and then London as the central financial market. The mutual quotation of exchange rates, which provide the data tabulated and analysed here, mark the integration into a global network of all areas with significant economic potential. The primary aim of this book is to provide a compact account of the exchange rates in all these financial markets, from the late 16th century up to the First World War. This makes possible an instant conversion between the major world currencies at nearly any date within that period, while the important introduction provides the explanation and context of developments. The present handbook therefore serves as an invaluable resource for those concerned with all aspects of commercial and financial history.
Book Synopsis The Hundred Years War by : Christopher Allmand
Download or read book The Hundred Years War written by Christopher Allmand and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-02-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comparative study of how the societies of late-medieval England and France reacted to the long period of conflict between them commonly known as the Hundred Years War. Beginning with an analysis of contemporary views regarding the war. Two chapters follow which describe the military aim of the protagonists, military and naval organisation, recruitment, and the raising of taxes. The remainder of the book describes and analyses some of the main social and economic effects of war upon society, the growth of a sense of national consciousness in time of conflict, and the social criticism which came from those who reacted to changes and development brought about by war. Although intended primarily as a textbook for students, Dr Allmand's study is much more than that. It makes an important general contribution to the history of war in medieval times, and opens up new and original perspectives on a familiar topic.
Book Synopsis Romanesque Architecture and its Sculptural in Christian Spain, 1000-1120 by : Janice Mann
Download or read book Romanesque Architecture and its Sculptural in Christian Spain, 1000-1120 written by Janice Mann and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2009-04-08 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades following the year 1000 marked a watershed in the history of the Iberian Peninsula when the balance of power shifted from Muslims to Christians. During this crucial period of religious and political change, Romanesque churches were constructed for the first time in Spain. Romanesque Architecture and Its Sculptural Decoration in Christian Spain, 1000-1120 examines how the financial patronage of newly empowered local rulers allowed Romanesque architecture and sculptural decoration to significantly redefine the cultural identities of those who lived in the frontier kingdoms of Christian Spain. Proceeding chronologically, Janice Mann studies the earliest Romanesque monuments constructed by Sancho el Mayor (r.1004-1035) and his wife, daughters, and granddaughters, as well as those that were built by Sancho Ramírez, king of Aragon (1064-1094). Mann examines groups of buildings constructed by particular patrons against the backdrop of changing social conditions and attitudes that resulted from increased influence from beyond the Pyrenees, the consolidation of royal power, and intensified aggression against Muslims. An in-depth study of the rise of an architectural style, this is the first book to examine early Romanesque architecture and sculpture of the Iberian Peninsula as it relates to frontier culture.

Download or read book The Queens Regnant of Navarre written by Elena Woodacre and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 267 pages.

Book excerpt: The five queens of Navarre were the largest group of female sovereigns in one European realm during the Middle Ages, but they are largely unknown beyond a regional audience.

Download or read book Clash of Crowns written by Mary McAuliffe and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict between England and France was a fact of life for centuries, but few realize that this conflict originated with the Vikings and their settlement of what would become Normandy. In this compelling and entertaining history, Mary McAuliffe takes the reader back to those dark and turbulent times when Viking descendant William the Conqueror became king of England, yet as duke of Normandy remained an unwilling subject to the French crown. This led to ongoing hostility between his descendants and generations of French monarchs, culminating in the clash between young Philip Augustus of France and his royal English rivals, most notably Richard Lionheart. Mary McAuliffe colorfully provides the background and context for this "clash of crowns," whose outcome would shape the course of English and French history throughout the centuries that followed.
Book Synopsis The Hundred Years War by : Andrew Villalon
Download or read book The Hundred Years War written by Andrew Villalon and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the first of a two-volume set, is the work of fourteen European and American scholars and focuses on the wider aspects of the Hundred Years. These essays range far afield from the traditional heartlands of Hundred Years War studies to investigate the influence of the conflict on Italy, the Low Countries, and Spain and on such topics as urban history, and the actualities of weapon use on the battlefield. A number of the essays in this collection seek to re-examine old but thorny questions long associated with the conflict, including the real immediate impact of gunpowder technology on siege warfare during the fourteenth century and the “purposeful” strategy of Henry V in staging and bringing about the battle of Agincourt in 1415. With contributions by L.J. Andrew Villalon, María Teresa Ferrer i Mallol, Donald J. Kagay, Clara Estow, William P. Caferro, Sergio Boffa, Peter Michael Konieczny, Paul Solon, Manuel Sánchez Martínez, James E. Gilbert, Jane Marie Pinzino, Clifford J. Rogers, Kelly DeVries, and John Clement. Winner of the 2014 Verbruggen Prize of De Re Militari (the Society for the Study of Medieval Military History) given annually for the best book on medieval military history.
