Full textAbstract:
If the issue of prisoners of war has given rise to numerous studies in recent years, nevertheless, this topic is far from exhausted. Built on a large corpus of archival sources, this study fuels the debate on ransoms and prisoners with new material. Its originality lies in its broad chronological framework, i.e. the duration of the Hundred Years War, as well as its perspective – that of lower ranking as well as higher-ranking prisoners on both side of the Channel. What does it mean for those men to live in the once coined ‘golden age of private ransoms’? My investigations hinge around three different themes: the status of prisoners of war, the ransoming process and the networks of assistance. I argue that the widespread practice of ransoming becomes increasingly systematic in the late Middle Ages. More importantly, I show how this evolution comes ‘from below’; from the individual masters and prisoners who faced the multiple obstacles raised by the lack of official structure. Indeed, the ransoming of prisoners remained the preserve of private individuals throughout the war and no sovereign could afford that this became otherwise. It is specifically the non-interventionism of the crown and the large freedom of action of individuals which shaped the ransom system.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation offers a study of the fifteenth century French polemical treatises written by authors such as Jean de Montreuil, Jean Juvénal des Ursins, Noël de Fribois and Robert Blondel, together with an edition of perhaps the most important of these works, Pour ce que plusieurs (1464). This treatise may have been written by Guillaume Cousinot II, who had been personally involved in the events surrounding the attack upon Fougères in 1449, a subject addressed in highly partial terms by this text; moreover, Cousinot had visited the Lancastrians in exile in Scotland, which might explain how Sir John Fortescue was able to learn of Jean Juvénal's Tres crestien, tres hault, tres puissant roy (1446), and how Pource que plusieurs in turn drew upon the pamphlets of Fortescue. The polemical texts went beyond moral and chivalric discussion of the war, to address the complex legal and historical issues underpinning the conflict. In response to the English claim to the French throne, Jean de Montreuil adopted the Salic Law, a highly dubious and problematic authority, but one that achieved great fame particularly through the influence of Pour ce que plusieurs. Similarly, the polemical writers rejected English demands for Aquitaine and Normandy in full sovereignty by arguing that no French king could alienate the sovereign rights of the crown. In the sixteenth century, both of these principles were elevated to the status of Fundamental Laws. These texts were not intended to serve as propaganda, but were generally produced by royal officials to serve as manuals for their fellow administrators and diplomats, and perhaps also for the king and other members of the court involved in negotiations with the English. Only in exceptional circumstances were such works disseminated beyond the narrow circles of the government and court, though royal officials did draw upon them when speaking at public assemblies.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse porte d’abord sur des territoires disputés entre Français, Anglais et Bourguignons, les « pays de frontière ». Notre large éventail de sources nous permet de les définir juridiquement et fiscalement, par opposition aux « pays de paix », comme l’ensemble des paroisses payant des impôts à deux camps à la fois, ou encore situées à moins de 50 km d’une forteresse ennemie, et par là concernées par le cas « d’éminent péril ». Afin de parer aux dangers, loin d’être impuissantes, les sociétés des frontières manifestèrent leur capacité d’action. Pour résister aux sièges, les villes se fortifiaient ; pour échapper à une « surprise », elles faisaient bonne garde et établissaient un éclairage public tout autour des remparts. Pour se prémunir des fourrageurs, les villageois s’abritaient dans leurs églises ou dans les bois.La frontière était tout à la fois un territoire et une ligne entre les deux obédiences qu’elle mettait en contact. Ce n’était pas seulement une ligne imaginaire séparant les obéissants des désobéissants, identifiés par leurs passeports, leurs insignes, leurs cris et leurs injures. Notre travail a mis au jour une liste des paroisses du Maine et de l’Anjou obéissant respectivement aux Anglais ou aux Français, ce qui permet de les cartographier avec précision. La frontière s’y dessine comme une véritable ligne de démarcation, appuyée sur des cours d’eau et séparant des villages voisins, loin du cliché d’un Moyen Âge ignorant la maîtrise de l’espace.La frontière était enfin un concept abondamment employé par la monarchie pour justifier le prélèvement d’impôts devenus permanents et théoriquement destinés à la « garde et tuition de la frontière des ennemis ». Les communautés urbaines et les justiciables de toutes sortes apprirent vite à le réutiliser habilement dans leur correspondance avec le roi. Cette appropriation n’était pas une pure instrumentalisation : le concept figure dans les délibérations municipales internes aux communautés urbaines, et Jean Juvénal des Ursins pouvait opposer dans ses écrits les « povres compagnons des frontières » tels que lui aux autres régnicoles, qui ne connaissaient qu’indirectement les effets de la guerre.Écrire l’histoire de la frontière des ennemis, c’est ainsi découvrir la capacité des sociétés à se soustraire au régime d’incertitude qu’imposait la guerre, mais aussi la façon dont les Français du XVe siècle concevaient leur espace et leurs rapports avec les princes alors en guerreThis PhD deals with the frontier of the enemies, a territory disputed by the French king, the English king and the duke of Burgondy. We can define it as the whole of the parishes taxed by both sides, meaning most of the parishes located less than 30 miles from an enemy’s fortress. In these dangerous areas, people were compelled to face incertitude, and invented new solutions to deal with it. This thesis also focuses on the frontier as a line, an imaginary boundary between obedient and inobedient people to a same king, as well as a real boundary between the parishes subdued to the French or the English king’s authority. Eventually, the frontier of the enemies was a juridical concept which both kings and urban communities used in their correspondence. This concept was part of the identity of the people living in a territory at war, as Jean Juvénal des Ursins, bishop of Beauvais. By writing the history of this frontier during the second part of the Hundred Years War, we reveal how the French conceived their territory and their relations with the princes then at war

Bethell, J. J. "Tactics, strategy and the social composition of the army in England during the Hundred Years War, with particular reference to the periods 1337-1386 and 1413-22." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2009. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.596610.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis takes a thematic, rather than chronological, approach to the questions of tactics, strategy, and the social composition of the army in England, in order to examine the major questions of change and renewal in later medieval warfare. Rather than seeking to catalogue organisational or logistical minutiae, I wish to emphasise what fourteenth century English political society believed it could achieve, sought to achieve, and how it set about realising these ambitions. The thesis first considers the historiography of the period and its problems; it highlights the fact that the secondary literature, though extensive, is patchy and frequently concerned with broader or peripheral issues. The thesis turns first to tactics and in so doing must necessarily take some time to consider certain technical issues of equipment and weaponry which have dominated the limited current debate. It moves next to examine the influences on English tactics and the ancestry of those developments which came to characterise the conduct of English armies in the field; it emphasise the wider historical and geographical context in which their actions are located and reflects on how tactical expertise was passed on. In considering strategic affairs, the thesis presents perhaps the most striking example of the defining dialectic with tactics below and political society above. This chapter subdivides ‘strategy’ into operational and grand-strategic levels, reflecting the distinctive character of medieval monarchical government. In both areas, though, we may trace the influences on English campaigns and witness the emergence of a new strategic approach through trial and error. This chapter presents a new interpretation of the chevauchée and of the campaigns in Northern France. Within the chapter on the social composition of the army, the thesis traces the effect of mobilisation for war on the various strata of English society. With the heavy commitment of the elite to war, albeit an elite invigorated by Edward’s comital creations of 1337, it notes the amalgam of old and new which is so typical of Edward III’s reign – a novel method of performing the traditional role of a warrior of aristocracy. The factors which bound them to this role were likewise both cultural and financial. What also emerges is the creation of a small sub-society, which is in many ways internally classless, becoming dedicated to the profession of perennial expeditionary warfare. The thesis next surveys the reign of Henry V, in whose campaigns it traces the evolution of different aims, and, therefore, different strategies, while still employing some of the same tactical elements. His later grand-strategic ambitions are traced in the operational course of the fifteenth century campaigns with a lasting consequence for the regime which followed his death.

Full textAbstract:
Current scholarship on the devotional practices of late medieval England has emphasized two representations of Christ. The first, considered the dominant trend, is that of the suffering Christ; the second, a minor, but important trend particularly for female audiences, is the maternal Christ. Both are revealing of the nature of late medieval Christo-centric devotion. This project contributes to the understanding of late medieval Christocentric devotion in England during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries by examining the representation of Christ in a martial role, as presented to clerical and lay audiences through the medium of popular sermons. It is a new contribution to the scholarship of late medieval devotion in its demonstration of a multifaceted Christ; the martial Christ echoes, but in many ways also contrasts, the images of the suffering and maternal Christ, in order to provide its audience with a more complex rendering of the human Christ, one which may have been more accessible to a lay populace seeking to form a relationship with him. This project also contributes to the growing field of sermon studies, intended to be comprehensive in nature. It uses a different approach to sermon studies, in that the entire corpus of nearly 4,500 sermons was reviewed. This was done in order to provide the most complete picture of the martial Christ. As a result, this project examines Christ in various martial roles, as well as his modelling of knighthood for kings, knights, preachers, and the laity. These representations were utilised by preachers to instruct their audiences in devotional practice, specifically forms of affective meditation; it was used as a didactic tool to teach the laity the complex doctrines of redemption and atonement; and finally, it was employed as a means to demonstrate the importance of right living in order to fulfill what Christ had promised on the cross, that is eternal salvation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the Celestine monks of France, a largely neglected and distinctive reformed Benedictine congregation, at their apex of growth (c.1350-1450). Based largely within the kingdom of France, but also including key houses in the contiguous territories of Lorraine and the Comtat, they expanded significantly in this period, from four monasteries to seventeen within a hundred years. They also gained independence from the mother congregation in Italy with the coming of the Great Western Schism (1376-1418). The study aims view the French Celestines against the backdrop of a vibrant culture of 'reform' within both the monastic estate (the Observants) and the Church as a whole, as well as the political instability and war in France. It will reveal a congregation alive with the passions of their times and relevant within them. Following an introductory section, chapter 1 will discuss the previously unstudied Vita of the leading French Celestine Jean Bassand (d.1445) in depth and introduce the key themes of the subsequent chapters. Chapter 2 will examine their Constitutions, in the process providing perspective on their hyper-scrupulous understanding of sin and the relation of their statutes to the Christian idea of 'reform'. Chapter 3 will look to anecdotal evidence concerning the quality of their observance in practice, as well the spiritual and moral writings of Pierre Pocquet (d.1408), another important Celestine leader. Chapter 4 will begin to establish how and why the order grew, examining records of benefaction (contemporary martyrologies and charters) as well as taking view of the financial (and in the end, moral) difficulties brought by war through the documents concerning the reductions of founded masses at the Paris and Sens houses. Chapter 5 will look at monumental and anecdotal/literary evidence, as well as the works of Jean Gerson, a friend of the order, to further define the cultural impact of the monks.

Full textAbstract:
Le Poitou au XIVème siècle subit des alternances de domination au cours de la guerre de Cent Ans. De 1360 à 1372, le Poitou est sous le contrôle de l’Angleterre et intégré à la Principauté d’Aquitaine. C’est alors que se met en place une administration spécifique avec un mode de gestion adapté à ces nouvelles régions. Après une reconquête ardue menée jusqu’en 1375 par Du Guesclin, le Poitou et les pays de l’Ouest passent sous le contrôle de la France et font partie de l’apanage du Duc Jean de Berry. Pendant les périodes où ils sont officiellement absents de la région : 1320-1356 et 1375 1415, les Anglais maintiennent une pression permanente sur la région, au moyen de raids, de chevauchées destructrices et de tentatives de débarquement avortées ou réussies. Il s’agit d’une nouvelle région où la domination anglaise s’exerce sous des formes très spécifiques. On peut ainsi avoir une vue d’ensemble des régions conquises et dominées par l’Angleterre pendant la Guerre de Cent Ans. On peut aussi y constater une nouvelle forme de « recovery » mise en place après chaque moment de tension et de conquête, soit par les Français, soit par les Anglais et ainsi étudier cette réalité politique de manière plus globale. Enfin, on peut aussi étudier l’intégration de cette région à un ensemble plus vaste constitué par la principauté d’AquitainePoitou during the Hundred Years’ War in the 14th century is alternately dominated by different political dynasties. From 1360 à 1372, Poitou is under English control and is part of the Principality of Aquitaine. An administration is put in place to administer these newly acquired regions. After a difficult reconquest of these regions by Du Guesclin in 1375, Poitou and the western lands are under the French control and are part of the “apanage” of the Duke of Berry. Despite not governing these lands from 1320-1356 and 1375-1415 the English keep these lands under constant military pressure via a series of raids, pillaging and naval landings. English domination while only periodic had very specific effects on these new lands. We can as such uniquely view these regions thanks to their domination both militarily and politically by the English during the Hundred Years’ War. We can also see periods of “recovery” after each tense period or military action, either by the French or the English, and as such study this unique political situation in its globality. Finally, we can also study the integration of this land in a bigger ensemble within the Principality of Aquitaine

Abstract: At the first half of fifteenth-century, military expeditions led to the effective occupation of French domains claimed by English monarchs. Despite the successful results achieved in the campaigns started in 1413, it was generally asserted that, until the beginning of 1450’s, the governance of those territories was characterized by instabilities originated from the inadequate behavior of warriors on both sides of the struggle. Such state of overall jeopardy was noticed by William Worcester (1415-1480/5?) in his treatise Boke of Noblesse, where he denounced a state of disorderly warfare, on the one hand, poorly associated with virtues and, on the other, strongly related to vices, stretched away from Christian recommended models. When compared to his contemporaries ideas, William Worcester’s offer evidences regarding crucial steps in conflict organization and performance, enabling, in like manner, a proper questioning of both French and English martial enterprises characteristics. Aware of such perspective, this inquest targets what was understood as condemnable in war making, and, therefore, it interrogates English writings about the desired paths to be tread on effective conflict development and conquest plans. Shortly, this research aims to question a particular fraction of military history: the reasonings and evaluations concerning warriors’ behaviour, scrutinizing their role as a mirror that enables a deeper interpretation of people’s conducts beyond war itself.

Full textAbstract:
Le XVe siècle voit la naissance de la nation France et l'unification progressive du pays sous le pouvoir de l'État royal. En ces temps troublés de la guerre de Cent Ans se pose la question de la maîtrise du territoire, dans sa double dimension intellectuelle et pratique. Comment, au XVe siècle, un roi de France pouvait-il se représenter son royaume ? Comment pouvait-il le gouverner ? La territorialisation du pouvoir s'affirme dans un va-et-vient entre figurations et occupation concrète. Des espaces sociaux différenciés se constituent, selon que les régions sont gouvernées directement par le roi et ou qu'elles sont confiées à des gouverneurs, un prince ou encore un Parlement. Dans le cadre fixé par les frontières des Quatre Rivières, la monarchie accède à une maîtrise globale du territoire qui coïncide avec l'intégration de la société politique dans un État d'offices sommé par la justice royale. L'unité royale et les constructions régionales divergentes se combinent dès lors dans une forme d'État-nation originale, un État territorial mixte, unitaire et hétérogèneDuring the 15th century, the French nation emerged and the unification of the country progressively took place, under the rule of the royal state. The question of how to control the territory, in both its intellectual and practical dimensions, was made more urgent by the troubles caused by the Hundred Years’ War. How, in the 15th century, could a King of France visualize his kingdom ? How was he able to govern it ? The territorialisation of power, oscillating between representation and real occupation, became progressively clearer. Differentiated social spaces emerged, depending on whether the regions were directly governed by the King or were entrusted to governors, be it a Prince or a Parliament. At the time when the monarchy gained overall control over the territory within the limits defined by four rivers (Scheldt, Meuse, Saone, Rhone), political society organised itself in a state constituted by offices ruled by royal law. Royal unity and diverging regional structures combined themselves into an original type of nation-state, a mixed territorial state, unitary and heterogeneous at the same time

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de cette thèse est de faire connaître un poème inédit du XIVe siècle, conservé à la bibliothèque du Château de Chantilly sous la cote 1477.Nous proposons une édition annotée de ce texte et complétée par différents glossaires et index qui permettent de le situer dans l’histoire littéraire du Moyen Âge.Dans un deuxième volet, nous avons cherché à apporter des réponses sur l’histoire du manuscrit, son auteur, les dédicataires à qui il était destiné. Nous avons également tenté de restituer le contexte culturel, historique et religieux du Livre royal ainsi que les intentions de son auteur. La dédicace indique qu’il était destiné à Philippe VI de Valois, premier roi de la dynastie des Valois et sa famille ; cette dédicace permet de dater l’ouvrage de 1345-1347. Il est donc royal par sa destination et sa qualité artistique ; il peut s’apparenter à un Miroir aux princes ou plutôt aux princesses car il semble destiné en priorité à un public féminin pour lequel il est rédigé en français. Il reflète les vicissitudes du temps puisqu’il fut composé lors de la première phase de la guerre de Cent Ans qui opposa le roi à Edouard III souverain anglais. Dans le domaine politique, le Livre royal apparaît comme l’œuvre d’un publiciste du pouvoir en place. Il témoigne également des préoccupations morales et religieuses de son auteur, soucieux de contribuer à la formation des élites et, à ce titre, il est un exemple de vulgarisation religieuse. Le Livre royal qui puise dans des sources nombreuses et variées se présente donc aussi bien comme un témoin de la circulation des textes et de leur réception dans le milieu des lettrés que le témoin d’une culture, celle d’un clerc du XIVe sThe purpose of this thesis is to present an original poem of the fouteenth century, preserved in the library of the Château de Chantilly in classification mark 1477.We therefore propose an annotated edition of the text and supplemented by various glossaries and indexes that situate him in the literary history of the Middle Ages.In a second phase, we sought to provide answers about the history of the manuscript, the author, the didicatee in which it was intended. We also attempted to restore the cultural, historical and religious context of the Royal Book and the intentions of its author. The dedication says it was intented to Philippe VI, the first king of the dynasty of Valois and his family ; this dedication makes it possible to date the book from 1345 to 1347. The manuscript is a royal destination and its artistic quality ; it can be likened to a mirror for princes or princesses rather because it seems aimed primarily at a female audience for which it is written in French. Il reflects the vicissitudes of time since it was composed in the first phase of the Hundred Years War that pitted the king Edward III English sovereign. In politics, the Royal Book appears as the work of a publicist in power. Il also reflects the moral and religious concerns of its author, anxious to help train the elite and as such, it is also an example of religious outreach. The Royal Book that draws from many diverse sources presents itself both as a witness to circulation of texts and their reception in the middle of the scholars that the witness of a culture, that of a clerk of the fourteenth century

Full textAbstract:
Le processus de mise en défense du bas Moyen Âge pose la question de l’évolution des communautés d’habitants du Toulousain. La compréhension des dynamiques de la défense nécessite une approche pluridisciplinaire fondée sur l’analyse des sources écrites, planimétriques, figurées et archéologiques. La richesse de la documentation met en lumière les rapports sociaux et l’organisation d’un groupe face au danger. Le phénomène des forts villageois a servi de support à une réflexion plus large sur les types et les formes de dispositifs défensifs. Une démarche comparative sur les structures interroge ainsi les modèles de fortifications et leur évolution. Au-delà de la dimension humaine et communautaire de la mise en défense, l’étude multi-scalaire éclaire les relations entre communauté et autorité seigneuriale, le rapport au territoire et l’interaction entre Toulouse et ses campagnes, mais aussi les réseaux de solidarité dans la protection d’un espace partagéThe defence process in the late Middle Ages raises the question of evolution of communities inhabitanting in Toulouse area. Understanding the defensive dynamics requires a multidisciplinary approach based on the analysis of written, planimetric, iconographic and archaeological sources. The documentation’s precious contents highlight the social relationship and the organization of a group facing danger. The “forts villageois” phenomenon served a larger reflection about types and forms of defensive measures. A comparative approach on the structures questions fortifications models and their evolution. Beyond the human and community scope the multi-scale study points out the relationships between community and lord, the relation to the territory and the interaction between Toulouse and the surrounding villages, as well as the solidarity networks in a shared space protection

La première version des Chroniques des rois, ducs et princes de Bretagne a été rédigée par Pierre Le Baud sur commande de Jean de Châteaugiron,seigneur de Derval, et est achevée en 1480. Deux manuscrits nous sont parvenus de cette rédaction : l’original conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale de France (ms fr.8266) a été édité partiellement en 1907 par Charles de La Lande de Calan, alors que le deuxième, appartenant à la Bibliothèque municipale d’Angers (ms. 941) et copie du premier, n’a jamais fait l’objet d’une transcription.Cette édition transcrit le manuscrit 941 dans sa totalité, c'est‐à‐dire les trois livres rédigés sur 406folios. Cette transcription analyse également la méthode de compilation du chroniqueur, les particularités linguistiques du copiste et les variantes par rapport au manuscrit 8266 de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Un glossaire ainsi que des index des personnes, des lieux et des sources permettent d’éclairer les aspects historiques, géographiques et culturels présents dans cet ouvrageThe first version of "Chroniques des rois, ducs et princes de Bretagne" was ordered by Jean de Châteaugiron, lord of Derval and Pierre Le Baud finished writing it in 1480. Only two manuscripts reached us : the original, preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (ms fr.8266),was partially edited in 1907 by Charles de LaLande de Calan, whereas the second, which canbe found at the Bibliothèque municipale d'Angers and is a copy of the first, was never transcripted. This edition transcribes the manuscript 941 in its entirety, meaning all the three books written on over 406 folios. This transcription also analyses the method the chronicler used to compile the text, the linguistic characteristics of the scribe andthe differences with the manuscript 8266 of theBibliothèque nationale de France.

Full textAbstract:
At the end of the fourteenth century Jean d’Arras rewrote a popular folktale. The tale told how Mélusine, a fairy who was serpent from the navel down every Saturday, married a knight and founded the fortress of Lusignan. In his introduction to the tale Jean d’Arras presents the ideas of four authority figures to convince the reader that fantastical things are possible and that his work should be taken seriously. These authority figures are David, Aristotle, Paul and Gervaise de Tilbury. It is the contention of this thesis that Jean d’Arras presents these figures in his introduction to provide context and serve as doubles for characters in the narration as well as convince the reader to take the work seriously. Through his allusion to Tilbury, Jean d’Arras establishes a context and a doubling for the story-line which he so repetitiously tells. Through his allusion to David we see a doubling for Raymondin, who in fact bears the name of earthly king, a position which David held in archetype. Through his allusion to Paul we see a doubling for Geoffrey à la grande dent, enfant terrible who becomes a responsible leader. And finally we suggest that Aristotle is a type for Jean d’Arras himself, who is presenting to his reader a methodical study of the telos of earthly kings. The thesis contains a discussion of these four individuals, how they were viewed in the late fourteenth-century and what the implications are for reading the text with them in mind. When viewed in the light of these comparisons the text can be seen, not only as a fantastical story, but as political commentary. Jean d’Arras glorifies the Duke of Berry, his patron, by connecting him to a supernatural being, but he also suggests throughout the narration, that the true justification for nobility and political power is not a supernatural connection, but a practical ability to deal with earthly affairs.

De 1154 à 1453, Bordeaux se trouve sous l'obédience du roi d'Angleterre.L'ouverture du marché anglais favorise le développement d'un vignoble à vocation commerciale autour de la ville. De nombreux travaux sont consacrés à cette période faste du vignoble et du commerce du vin bordelais. En revanche, la situation du vignoble au lendemain de la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans (après la prise de Bordeaux par Charles VII en 1453) est très souvent restée dans l'ombre.Ce travail propose donc d'étudier les caractéristiques et les dynamiques du vignoble bordelais dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle, après les crises de la fin du Moyen Âge. En raison de la nature des sources employées, l'approche adoptée est celle du point de vue des Bordelais sur le vignoble, ce qui permet d'analyser l'emprise urbaine sur les vignes des alentours. Nous verrons comment les stratégies foncières et économiques des élites urbaines, essentiellement composées de marchands, influencent l'évolution du vignoble bordelais après la guerre de Cent Ans.

Full textAbstract:
Jusqu'à la fin du XIIe siècle, la vie de Clovis, roi mérovingien et premier roi chrétien qui a régné sur le royaume franc sûrement à partir de 481 et jusqu'à sa mort, le 27 novembre 511, ne paraît avoir été que rarement transposée en images. À partir de 1200, en revanche, l'iconographie figurant le souverain mérovingien se développe, diffusée de plus en plus largement dans le royaume de France. Cette évolution traduit un changement qui s'opère dans l'intérêt porté à Clovis durant les trois derniers siècles du Moyen Âge. Afin de saisir la teneur de ce changement, la présente étude se propose d'analyser l'importance octroyée à l'image de Clovis dans le royaume de France entre 1200 et 1500. Pour ce faire, l'examen de l'iconographie clodovéenne encore connue a été effectué. Celui-ci permet d'abord, grâce à l'évaluation de l'abondance et de la propagation de l'imagerie clodovéenne dans le royaume, de rendre compte de l'importance de la diffusion de l'image du roi et de cerner l'étendue et la diversité du public auquel celle-ci s'adressait. Cet examen permet ensuite d'analyser les modalités de la mise en images de l'histoire du souverain, renseignant sur les variations du discours diffusé par l'iconographie. Enfin, l'étude de la signification des images et de leur fonction permet, à une époque où se forme ce que Colette Beaune nomme le « sentiment national » et où l'histoire du royaume est traversée par un des conflits majeurs de la période, la guerre de Cent Ans, de comprendre les raisons du développement de l'imagerie figurant Clovis et des variations de la place conférée au roi dans le discours iconographique diffusé, entre 1200 et 1500, dans le royaume de FranceUntil the end of the 12th century, the life of Clovis, a Merovingian king and the first Christian king of the Frankish kingdom, who reigned from about the year 481 until his death on November 27, 511, seems to have been rarely depicted in images. From 1200 onwards, however, iconography picturing the Merovingian king expanded, spreading more and more widely in the kingdom of France. This evolution reflects a change in the interest accorded to Clovis over the last three centuries of the Middle Ages. In order to grasp the substance of this change, this study analyzes the importance attributed to the image of Clovis in the kingdom of France between 1200 et 1500. To this end, an examination of known Clodovian iconography has been conducted. First, this evaluation of the quantity and spread of Clodovian imagery in the kingdom allows us to determine the magnitude of the dissemination of the king’s image as well as the scope and diversity of the public to which it was addressed. This examination then allows us to analyze the modalities of depicting the sovereign’s history, based on variations in the message spread by the iconography. Finally, the study of the meaning of the images and of their function yields – at a time when what Colette Beaune calls the “national sentiment” is forming and when the kingdom encounters one of the major conflicts of the period, the Hundred Years War – an understanding of the reasons for the development of the imagery depicting Clovis and for the variations in the place accorded to the king in the iconographic discourse spread between 1200 and 1500 in the kingdom of France

Full textAbstract:
Constitué par saint Louis en faveur de son fils Pierre, mort en 1284, l’apanage d’Alençon renaît en 1290 lorsque le roi Philippe le Bel l’octroie à son frère Charles de Valois. Sept comtes, puis ducs à partir de 1415, lui succéderont jusqu’en 1525. Cousins des rois et pairs de France, les Valois-Alençon ont fait de cet apanage normanno-percheron le cœur d’une principauté étendue du pays de Caux aux rivages de la Loire, des marches de Bretagne au pays chartrain.Les principats de Pierre II (1367-1404) et de son fils Jean Ier, mort à Azincourt en 1415, marquent l’apogée de cette œuvre politique soutenue par le roi. Désormais enracinés sur l’apanage, les Alençon réforment l’administration des territoires, s’entourent d’officiers polyvalents et dotent leur principauté des institutions traditionnellement dévolues au gouvernement des états : une chancellerie active, une trésorerie générale, une Chambre des comptes et même un Échiquier réputé souverain. Au palais neuf d’Argentan, l’Hôtel comtal accueille quelque deux cent trente officiers et serviteurs et brille d’un éclat jusqu’alors insoupçonné. La démarche prosopographique, qui étudie les caractéristiques sociologiques et les réseaux d’influence façonnant les carrières des agents du pouvoir, guide ici la découverte des administrations princières.Hommes liges du parti d’Orléans, les Alençon paient toutefois au prix fort leur engagement politique. L’occupation lancastrienne (1417-1450) et l’exil, les rançons et l’obstruction durable du duc Jean II à la politique du roi minent leur autorité. La faillite menace et contraint les princes aux pires expédients. Leur incurie aggrave l’isolement qui les frappe jusqu’à ce qu’en 1515 l’avènement au trône de France de François d’Angoulême, « frère » par alliance du dernier duc Charles IV, offre à cette principauté un ultime et éphémère rayonnementFormed by Saint Louis in favour of his son Pierre, who died in 1284, the Alençon appanage revived in 1290 when King Philippe le Bel bestowed it upon his brother Charles de Valois. Seven princes, who became dukes as of 1415, succeeded him till 1525. Cousins to Kings and Peers of France, the Valois-Alençons turned the Norman-Percheron appanage into the heart of a principality stretching from the Pays de Caux to the banks of the Loire river, from the « Marches de Bretagne » to the Chartres area.The principates of Pierre II (1367-1404) and his son Jean I, who died in Azincourt in 1415, marked the heyday of this political piece of work supported by the King. Henceforth, rooted in this appannage, the Alençons reformed the administration of territories, surrounded themselves with versatile officers and endowed their principality with institutions traditionally devoted to the governance of states: an active chancellery, a general treasury, an exchequer and even a deemed sovereign court of justice. At the new castle of Argentan, the prince court hosted some two hundred and thirty officers and servants, and sparkled with a so far unsuspected lustre. The prosopographic approach, which studies the sociological features and the influence networks shaping the careers of the agents of authority, herein guides the discovery of the princely administration

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat a pour principal objet l'édition critique complète du dernier texte inédit de Christine de Pizan, son Livre des fais d'armes et de chevalerie, écrit en 1410 lors des prémices de la guerre civile entre Armagnacs et Bourguignons, trois ans après l'assassinat de Louis d'Orléans par Jean sans Peur et cinq ans avant la bataille d'Azincourt.Chef-d’œuvre oublié de Pizan, ce texte fut destiné à l'éducation des hommes d'armes en général et du dauphin Louis de Guyenne en particulier. Réécriture autant que compilation, les Fais d'armes ont été dès leur publication une référence sur « la chose de chevalerie », sollicitant Végèce, Valère Maxime, Frontin, L'Arbre des batailles d'Honorat Bovet ainsi que des sources orales demeurées anonymes. Leur édition permet de combler une lacune importante dans notre connaissance de la production christinienne de miroirs aux princes, et devrait être utile aux médiévistes comme aux juristes et polémologues.Cette édition, qui se veut génétique, s'appuie sur la première étude exhaustive de la tradition textuelle entière (25 témoins, manuscrits et imprimés) qui a mis au jour plusieurs versions d'auteure, découverte qui vient s'ajouter à l'exploration des versions remaniées d'un point de vue politique, ce qui avait déjà été remarqué par la critique. En outre, l'établissement d'un stemma codicum permet de préciser les liens entre deux familles de manuscrits, ceux qui respectent l'auctorialité de Christine de Pizan (famille A) et ceux qui oblitèrent son nom et sa féminité (famille B).En plus de donner à lire le texte en moyen français, assorti d'un appareil de notesphilologiques, linguistiques et historiques, l'édition permet, grâce à un apparat critique génétique, d'ouvrir la voie à des études stylistiques et linguistiques sur l'auteure à sa table de travail, modifiant son texte à deux reprises. La recherche des sources du traité permettra également de mieux connaître les techniques de Christine de Pizan en compilatrice. Nous proposons une édition des extraits de Valère Maxime et Frontin traduits par Simon de Hesdin pour y inciter nos lecteur·rice·s.Le texte s'accompagne d'une description codicologique des 25 témoins, d'unglossaire, d'éléments de contexte historique et littéraire, et enfin d'une étude linguistique qui verse une nouvelle pièce au dossier débattu de la possible autographie d'un manuscrit des Fais d'armesThe principle study of this doctoral thesis is the critical edition of the last unedited text of Christine de Pizan, the Livre des fais d’armes et de chevalerie. It was composed in 1410, at the outbreak of the first civil war posing Bourguignons against Armagnacs, three years after the assassination of Louis d’Orléans on the orders of Jean the Fearless and five years preceding the Battle of Azincourt. This forgotten masterpiece of Pizan was destined generally to educate young men of arms, and particularly for the instruction of the Dauphin, Louis de Guyenne. The Fais d’armes, a re-writing as much as it is a compilation, was upon its publication a reference work on chivalry, soliciting the authority of Vegetius, Valerius Maximus, Frontinus, L’Arbre des batailles by Honorat Bovet, as well as other oral sources that remain anonymous. This critical edition will allow us to fill significant gaps in the christinienne production of the specula principum and will be equally useful to medievalists as much to jurists and to specialists of military history.This edition, which goes back to the origins of the text, leans on the first exhaustive study of the entire textual tradition (25 text sources, in printed and manuscript forms) that identifies several different versions by the author. This discovery adds a new dimension to the study of this text when considered alongside versions that were re-worked for political purposes. What’s more, the establishment of a stemma codicum allows us to define the relationship between two manuscript families : Family A, which respects Christine de Pizan’s auctorialité ; and Family B, which obliterates her name and femininity.Furthermore, the edition of the text in Middle French, accompanied by philological,linguistic and historical notes and commentaries, allows for future stylistique andlinguistic studies on the author-at-work, changing her text on two occasions. Research on her sources also reveal Christine de Pizan’s techniques as “compilator”. This study also proposes an edition of quotes from Valerius Maximus and Frontinus as translated by Simon de Hesdin to inspire further reading.The edition includes a codicological description of the 25 manuscripts and printed copies, elements describing historical and literary context, and, finally, a linguistic study that adds another voice to the debate surrounding a manuscript containing the Fais d'armes and the question of its potentially “autographic” nature

Full textAbstract:
Pendant longtemps, les relations entre les réseaux de communication et les sites castraux ont été associées à la fiscalité seigneuriale (perception de droits de péage) ou encore à un contexte militaire (en cherchant à bloquer le trafic dans une intention défensive). Toutefois, la coordination des maillages routiers, fluviaux et castraux fait apparaître en creux de nombreuses relations dynamiques entre les territoires, leur organisation économique, politique ou encore sociale. La question décisive revient à intégrer ces nouvelles perspectives à une représentation dynamique de la pratique des territoires pour définir les conditions réelles d'interrelation entre les sites castraux et les réseaux de communication au cours du second Moyen Âge. Le cadre géographique de cette thèse, la vallée du Lot, depuis sa source jusqu'à son confluent sur un parcours de 485 km, permet de considérer la permanence des relations sociales et spatiales dans un rapport réciproque d'organisation et de structuration, caractérisée par une pluralité d'ensembles politiques et de luttes d'influence entre individus. La présence de ces différents acteurs de pouvoir (grands princes territoriaux, seigneuries plus modestes, oligarchie et aristocratie locale), dont les seigneuries et les châteaux, les logis seigneuriaux ou aristocratiques s'imposent le long de cette rivière, peuvent faire dialoguer entre eux les espaces, la politique, les sociétés et l'économie pour ainsi détailler les phénomènes dynamiques qui se rapportent à la structuration viaire, fluviale et castrale des territoires observés. Cette étude est enrichie par le dépouillement de sources écrites collectées, entre autres, dans neuf dépôts d'archives départementales, à la BnF, aux archives nationales ou encore au Public record Office de Londres. Ce travail historique s'intéresse ainsi aux différents acteurs du pouvoir riverains du Lot et à leurs instruments de domination du sol afin de mieux cerner leurs logiques de pouvoir et de gestion territoriale quel que soit leur rang socialFor a long time, the relations between communication networks and castral sites have been associated with seigniorial taxation (tolls) or military activities (by stopping the trafic). Nevertheless, the coordination of roads, rivers, waterways and castles make appear many dynamic relationships between territories, their economic, political or social organization. The decisive question is to integrate these new perspectives into a representation of the practice of territories to define the real conditions of interrelationship between castral sites and communication networks during the end of the early medieval period and the late Middle Ages. The geographical framework of this thesis, the Lot valley from its source to its confluence, on a course of 485 kilometers (301 miles), allows us to consider the reciprocal permanence of social and spatial relations characterized by a plurality of political groups and struggles of influence between individuals. These different powers (great territorial princes, modest lordships, oligarchy and local aristocracy), whose seigniories and castral domains obtrude along this river, can make spaces, politics, societies and economy interact together to explain the dynamic phenomena that relate to the road, river and castles of the territories observed. This study is enriched by the analysis of archives collected, in nine departmental archive repositories, at the National Library of France (BnF), at the national archives of France or at the Public Record Office of London. This historical work focuses on the various actors of power bordering the Lot and their instruments of land domination in order to understand their logic of power and territorial management regardless of their social rank

Full textAbstract:
Le manuscrit Aix-en-Provence, bibliothèque municipale, 428/(306) contient deux ensembles de textes. Le premier, La Chanson de Bertrand du Guesclin, est un poème épique rimé retraçant la vie de Bertrand du Guesclin (1320-1380), modeste chevalier breton qui s'illustre lors de la première partie de la Guerre de Cent Ans et devient connétable de France. Cette biographie a été composée par un certain Cuvelier entre 1380 et 1385, peu après la mort du guerrier. Le second est un ensemble de sept pièces lyriques écrites en mémoire de Bertrand, dont certaines sont attribuées à Eustache Deschamps. La première œuvre, à la fois récit historique, épopée, éloge posthume, biographie et poème, tient une place de choix dans la production littéraire de l'époque, puisqu'elle est considérée comme étant la dernière chanson de geste à avoir été rédigée en français. Les poèmes à la gloire du connétable sont pleinement en adéquation avec le renouveau lyrique de la fin du Moyen Age. A travers notre travail, nous souhaitons faire découvrir ou redécouvrir ces textes mal connus. Nous fournissons, avec la transcription de tous les textes originaux du manuscrit, la description des autres témoins, une étude littéraire incluant une analyse du contexte ainsi que de nouvelles informations sur l'auteur, une analyse linguistique du texte, des notes critiques, un glossaire, un index des noms propres, la liste des proverbes et une bibliographie sélectiveThe manuscript Aix-en-Provence, municipal library, 428(306) contains two different texts. The first, La Chanson de Bertrand du Guesclin, is a rimed epic poem telling the life of Bertrand du Guesclin (1320-1380), a Britain knight from a modest background who took part of the One Hundred Years War, and would become the constable of France. This biography has been written by a certain Cuvelier between 1380 and 1385, right after Bertrand's death. The second is a set of seven lyric poems written in memory of Bertrand, three of which were written by Eustache Deschamps. The first text, at the same time historical, epic, a tribute, biographie and poem, has a considerable importance in the literary production of the day as the last chanson de geste to be written in French. The poems celebrating the constable are fully in line with the lyric revival of the end of the 14th century. Through our study, we like to discover or rediscover this underrated work ; we will provide original text of the manuscript, descriptions of the other manuscripts, a literary review including a study of the context and new information about the author, a linguistic study, critical notes, a glossary, an index, a list of proverbs, and a comprehensive bibliography

Full textAbstract:
Les espaces fortifiés médiévaux du Velay (diocèse médiéval du Puy-en-Velay), sont analysés dans leur constitution et leur utilisation. L’enquête concerne un corpus de sites castraux, bourgs fortifiés, maisons fortes, prieurés et églises fortifiées de 145 communes situées en majorité dans le département de la Haute-Loire (France- Auvergne). Les changements que ces espaces fortifiés opèrent sur la période XIIIe-XVe s. sont mis en avant : morphologie spatiale et choix d’occupation des espaces, évolution de l’habitat individuel seigneurial et des enceintes en contexte rural et urbain. L’ensemble est documenté par des textes qui indique la nature des relations entre les différents groupes sociaux, acteurs de la construction du territoire fortifié : relations entre les seigneurs et l’évêque du Puy ou le roi, relations entre les seigneurs et les communautés urbaines ou rurales, émergence de nouveaux groupes sociaux (la petite noblesse). L’accent est mis sur l’articulation de ces espaces et le rapport social et symbolique que chacun des groupes sociaux entretient avec la fortification. Les intentions de dominations et les résistances de chacun des groupes sociaux sont ainsi mis en évidence par l’analyse du parcellaire, des édifices et de la forme de la fortificationThe fortified medieval areas of the Velay (medieval diocese of Puy-en-Velay) are analysed in their constitution and their use. The survey concerns a corpus of castle sites, fortified towns, fortified houses, priories and fortified churches in 145 communes, mostly in the department of Haute-Loire (France-Auvergne). The changes that these fortified spaces operate during the 13th-15th centuries are highlighted: spatial morphology and choices of occupancy of these areas, evolution of individual seigneurial habitats and enclosures in rural and urban context. The nature of the relations between the different social groups building this fortified territory is mainly documented by texts : relationships between the lords and the bishop of Le Puy or the king, relationships between the lords and the urban or rural communities, emergence of new social groups (the small gentry). The purpose focuses on the articulation of these areas and the social and symbolic relationships that each of the social groups has with fortifications. Thus, the intentions of domination and the resistance of each of the medieval social groups are revealed by analysing the plots, the buildings and the form of the fortification

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse analyse l’évolution du pouvoir des abbés de onze abbayes bénédictines masculines du diocèse de Rouen entre la fin du XIIe siècle et le milieu du XVe siècle, mettant l’accent sur les plus grandes d’entre elles (Le Bec, Fécamp, Saint-Ouen, Saint-Wandrille…) mais prenant aussi en charge des maisons plus modestes et méconnues. Au cœur du raisonnement figurent la relation des abbés avec les pouvoirs royaux français et anglais. Après l’intégration de la Normandie au domaine royal capétien en 1204, les abbés devinrent royaux : en étudiant en particulier les actes de la pratique, cette thèse propose une définition de cette catégorie. Le rôle de Philippe Auguste dans la définition des rapports entre les crosses et les couronnes est mis en valeur. La suite du XIIIe siècle et le début du XIVe siècle sont marquées par une continuité politique assez remarquable, doublée d’une prospérité économique ; cela se traduisit par une réelle liberté des élections dans les monastères normands et l’avènement des abbés gestionnaires, qui parvinrent même à conserver les biens de leurs abbayes situées dans les terres du roi d’Angleterre. Les débuts de la Guerre de Cent ans furent un véritable tournant : à partir de ce moment-là, les abbés durent s’engager dans les affaires politiques et la guerre (notamment dans le conflit entre le roi de France et le roi de Navarre puis au moment de la conquête de la Normandie par Henri V, après sa victoire à Azincourt en 1415). S’appuyant sur une prosopographie de cent-quatre-vingt-huit abbés, la thèse étudie par ailleurs le profil de ces supérieurs (origines sociales et géographiques, formation, etc.) et l’évolution de la figure abbatiale au fil de ces trois siècles : de plus en plus de supérieurs furent formés à l’université ou gravitaient dans les cercles de pouvoir de l’Église ou de la royauté. En conséquence, ils fréquentaient de moins en moins leurs cloîtres, habituant les moines à leur absence, tandis que la liberté des élections était progressivement rognée sous l’influence du pape et des rois. L’étude, notamment, des sources narratives et figurées montre que les représentations de leur pouvoir évoluèrent en parallèle : de plus en plus attentifs à leur prestige extérieur, marqué notamment par le port des insignes pontificaux, ils ressemblèrent de moins en moins aux moines qu’ils dirigeaient. Cette thèse propose de lire la mise en place de la commende dans la continuité de ces évolutions du pouvoir abbatial, qui apparaissent moins comme une crise que comme une mutationThis thesis analyzes the evolution of the power of the abbots of eleven male Benedictine abbeys of the diocese of Rouen between the end of the 12th century and the middle of the 15th century, focusing on the largest of them (Le Bec, Fécamp, Saint-Ouen, Saint-Wandrille...) but also on more modest and unknown monasteries. At the heart of the reasoning lie the relationship of the abbots with the French and English royal powers. After the integration of Normandy in the Capetian royal domain in 1204, the abbots became royal: studying in particular the acts of the practice, this thesis proposes a definition of this category. The role of Philip Augustus in the building of these relationships between crosiers and crowns is underlined. The political continuation of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century, coupled with economic prosperity, resulted on the one hand in a real freedom of elections in the Norman monasteries and on the other hand in the advent of abbots managers, who even managed to preserve the property of their abbeys located in the lands of the King of England. The beginnings of the Hundred Years’ War were a real turning point: from then on, the abbots had to engage in political affairs and war (especially in the conflict between the King of France and the King of Navarre, then at the time of the conquest of Normandy by Henry V, after his victory at Azincourt in 1415). Based on a prosopography of one hundred and eighty-eight abbots, the thesis also studies the profile of these superiors (their social and geographical origins, their formartion and career, etc.) and the evolution of the abbatial figure over these three centuries: more and more superiors studied at the university and/or gravitated in the circles of power of the Church or of the kings. As a result, they were less and less physically present in their cloisters, accustoming the monks to their absence, while the freedom of the elections was gradually cut off under the influence of the pope and kings. Besides, the study, in particular, of the narrative and figurative sources shows that the representations of their power evolved in parallel: more and more attentive to their external prestige, marked in particular by the wearing of the pontifical insignia, they looked less and less like to the monks who they were ruling. This thesis proposes to read the setting up of the commendatory system in the continuity of these evolutions of the abbatial power, which appear less as a crisis than as a mutation

Full textAbstract:
Au lendemain de la guerre de Cent ans, on observe le roi de France, vainqueur par les armes en 1453, déployer une politique, un discours, une activité législative destinés à pérenniser la paix. Une grande attention est alors prêtée à la restauration des institutions judiciaires, lesquelles participent de la redéfinition de la géographie juridictionnelle d’un royaume longtemps divisé. C’est dans ce contexte qu’est mobilisée une institution oubliée de la royauté depuis près d’un demi-siècle : les grands jours, qui consistent en l’envoi pour quelques semaines d’un groupe de conseillers du parlement de Paris dans une ville choisie par le roi, pour y juger sur place plutôt qu’à Paris les appels pour un ressort déterminé. Entre 1454 et 1459, sept sessions sont tenues à Poitiers, Thouars, Montferrand et Bordeaux, puis disparaissent à nouveau du paysage institutionnel pour plus de vingt ans. Les grands jours apparaissent en ce milieu du XVe siècle comme un instrument politique en formation, dans un moment de basculement à la fois dans l’histoire du royaume de France et dans l’histoire de l’institution. Cet instrument permet une intensification de la politique judiciaire de la royauté et la reprise d’une relation judiciaire entre le roi, ses représentants et ses sujetsIn the aftermath of the Hundred Years’ War, the King of France, winner by arms in 1453, displays a policy, a speech, a legislative activity, in order to perpetuate peace. Much attention is paid to the restoration of judicial institutions, which contribute to the redefinition of the jurisdictional geography of a kingdom divided for many years. In this context appears a forgotten institution, which had not been mobilized for nearly half a century: the grands jours, consisting in sending for a few weeks of a group of councilors of the Parliament of Paris in a city chosen by the King, to judge on the spot rather than in Paris the appeals for a determined area. Between 1454 and 1459, seven sessions are held in Poitiers, Thouars, Montferrand and Bordeaux, then disappear again from the institutional landscape for more than twenty years. The grands jours appear in this mid-fifteenth century as a political instrument in formation, in a moment of change in both the history of the kingdom of France and in the history of the institution. This instrument allows an intensification of the judicial policy of royalty and the resumption of a judicial relationship between the king, his representatives and his subjects

Full textAbstract:
Egypt has been under a permanent state of emergency for nearly 100 years. This thesis aims at exploring and understanding Egyptian emergency law and its contextual background. It uses a combination of historical and theoretical perspectives to explore how Egypt’s emergency law has developed since its introduction by Britain to the present day. Chapter two examines theories of emergency powers and the failure of traditional theories of emergency powers to explain and justify the permanent state of emergency in Egypt. Chapter three discusses British imperialism in Egypt to show how Britain introduced and enshrined martial law in Egypt’s constitution, as well as other laws, to protect Britain’s political and economic interests in Egypt. Chapter four examines the legal framework of emergency law developed in Egypt after Britain’s departure to show how emergency law developed and expanded from a temporary measure to a permanent one. Chapter five explores the major human rights violations that occurred during, and as a direct result of, the use of a state of emergency.
Chapter six examines contemporary imperialism to show how economic pressure from neo-imperialist organisations is used as a tool to enforce certain economic and political ideologies and policies. Further, it examines the resulting increased poverty in developing nations and the subsequent uprisings that occur. This study further explores how different political regimes use such uprisings as justification for using the force that is permitted under a state of emergency. Chapter seven explores how a minority group of elites have used the permanent state of emergency in Egypt to protect their political and economic interests.
The research concludes that, given Egypt’s history, it would be naïve to believe that formal constitutional or legal constraints could protect the population from dictatorial ‘emergency’ forms of rule. Further, given the country’s record of colonial and neo-colonial oppression, it is unrealistic to conclude that the solutions lie in Egypt alone.
As a result of these conclusions, this thesis recommends social equality, new forms of genuinely participatory democracy, democratic control over all aspects of life (including production, finance and key levers of the economy), guarantees of basic social rights such as education and health, and guarantees of core legal rights such as habeas corpus, open civilian trials and the presumption of innocence.

Full textAbstract:
Why the term 'Anglo-Scottish Struggle' between 1337 and 1346? Why 'The Perspective of English Official Documents'? What influence did the so-called 'Hundred Year's War' have on the Anglo-Scottish relations in the first years of the war? What impact did the 'Scottish issue' have on the policy of the English king during the Anglo-French conflict? How did the perspective of English official documents differ from that of English chronicles or Scottish/French primary sources? What role did the rhetoric of these source play? How was it portrayed? The following thesis will try to analyse some of the aforementioned issues and will strive to prove that the Scottish kingdom had a profound impact on the English policy in multiple respects from the outset of the Hundred Years' War until the battle of Neville's Cross almost ten years later.

Full textAbstract:
This diploma thesis is exploring the topic of legitimacy and legality of the royal power in the late English and French Middle Ages. Specifically, it answers the question whether Edward IV and Charles VII were legitimate kings for their respective subjects, based on analysis and comparison of selected contemporaneous English and French sources. This thesis presents different points of view on the royal power and the royal office according to the medieval authors. It describes the often ambiguous and contradictory opinions on this issue as well as provides a deeper look at the traditions and customs surrounding it. This analysis is presented against the historical backdrop of prolonged armed conflicts and political changes in both kingdoms. The differences between the legal and political situation of Charles VII and Edward IV suggest a wide range of possible interpretations. This thesis, based on the critical analysis and comparison of the relevant historical sources, advocates the view supporting the legitimacy of both kings, based on their respective genealogical and legal claims as well as on the support granted by their subjects. Keywords: Charles VII, Edward IV, royal power, legitimacy, treaty of Troyes, Wars of the Roses, Hundred years war

The subject of this diploma thesis is the French national heroine Joan of Arc and her portrayal and reflection in literary works throughout the centuries. The diploma thesis mentions the historical personality of Joan of Arc in the context of the time she lived in, reconstructs the life of this French saint and deals with the rehabilitation process that completes the myth of the French national heroine. This diploma thesis summarizes the important European literary works that Joan of Arc is the most important theme. The diploma thesis deals more with literary works in which Joan of Arc is the main character but each author writes her story and describes her personality from a different point of view. And precisely these differences of the thesis are analyzed. The diploma thesis focuses more on the literary works of various authors such as Voltaire, Jules Michelet, Anatole France and Stéphen Coubé. The diploma thesis deals also with the portrayal of Joan of Arc in the 20th and 21st centuries.
