  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Iron King by Maurice Druon the Iron King Summary & Study Guide
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Iron King by Maurice Druon The Iron King Summary & Study Guide. The Iron King Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections: This detailed literature summary also contains Topics for Discussion on The Iron King by Maurice Druon. The novel of "The Iron King" by Maurice Druon is the first in a cycle of seven books "The Accursed Kings" which chronicle the formation of the Nation state of France from the early Fourteenth Century onwards. The tale of the "Iron King" concerns itself with the reign of King Philip IV (or Philip the Fair, known for his outstanding handsomeness). Philip the Fair was an autocratic ruler, a widower and the father of four children, Isabella, Louis, Philippe and Charles. Isabella is now, at the start of the book the Queen of England and has been locked into a loveless marriage with King Edward the Second. Philip the fair's three younger sons are all princes of the realm and married to the ladies of Burgundy; Beatrice, Jeanne, and Blanche. The novel starts with the Chevalier Robert of Artois plotting with Queen Isabella to bring down the princesses of France. Having recently discovered that they are adulterous, he realizes that he can use this fact to bring down their family of Burgundy and the real object of his hatred — their mother Mahaut and his own Aunt. He desires this because Mahaut received lands as a dowry for marrying into the royal family, and he wishes to regai the lands of Burgundy and everything that his family had lost.

  • Jacques De M Jacques De Molay
    Jacques De Molay Born 1240–1250 Franche-Comté Died 18 March 1314 Paris Nationality French Known for Knights Templar Coat of arms of Jacques de Molay Jacques de Malay (c. 1244 – 18 March 1314) [1] was the 23rd and last Grand Master of the Knights Templar , leading the Order f rom 20 April 1292 until it was dissolved by order of Pope Clement V in 1307. Though little is known of his actual life and deeds except for his last years as Grand Master, he is the best k nown Templar, along with the Order's founder and first Grand Master, Hughes de Payens (1070 –1136). Jacques de Malay’s goal as Grand Master was to reform the Order, and adjust it to the situation in the Holy Land during the waning days of the Crusades . As European support for the Crusades had dwindled, other forces were at work which sought to disband the Order and claim the wealth of the Tememplar’s as their own. King Philip IV off FranceF , deeply in debt to the Templars, had de Molay and many other French Templars arrested in 1307 and tortured into making false confessions. When de Molay later retracted his confession, Philip had him slowly burned upon a scaffold on an island in the River Seine in Paris , in March 1314. The sudden end of both the centuries-old order of Templars, and the dramatic execution of its last leader, turned de Molay into a legendary figure. Youth source Little is known of his early years, but de Molay was probably born in Molay, Haute- Saone , in the county of Burgundy , at the time a territory ruled by Otto III as part of the Holy Roman Empire , and in modern times in the area of Franche-Comté , northeastern France.

    History of the Crusades. Episode 174. The Crusade Against the Cathars. 14th Century France. Hello again. Last week we saw the decline of the Cathar faith in southern France in the last half of the 13th century. Next week we will begin our examination of the Cathars of Languedoc in the 14th century, but before we do so we are going to use this week's episode to take a step back and look at France as a whole in the 14th century. Now imagine for a moment that you are the country of France. As you look back upon your illustrious history, what would you say are your worst years? You might ponder a moment about the chaos and dislocation caused following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century, and there's no doubt that the first half of the 20th century was no picnic, but there is one standout century that will send shudders through you every time you think about it. And that century is, of course, the 14th century. For the Kingdom of France the 14th century was a series of monumental catastrophes, a 100 year period of such violence, upheaval and calamity that it almost doesn't bear thinking about. But think about it we must. Now, just to set the scene and to give you an idea of what we are in for, let's take a look at a cautionary tale from this time. Cautionary tales are stories told to children designed to send them a message about the morality of the time, and to warn them of the perils that they may face should they make the wrong choices.

  • The Wilted Lily Representations of the Greater Capetian Dynasty Within the Vernacular Tradition of Saint-Denis, 1274-1464
    THE WILTED LILY REPRESENTATIONS OF THE GREATER CAPETIAN DYNASTY WITHIN THE VERNACULAR TRADITION OF SAINT-DENIS, 1274-1464 by Derek R. Whaley A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at the University of Canterbury, 2017. ABSTRACT Much has been written about representations of kingship and regnal au- thority in the French vernacular chronicles popularly known as Les grandes chroniques de France, first composed at the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Denis in 1274 by the monk Primat. However, historians have ignored the fact that Primat intended his work to be a miroir for the princes—a didactic guidebook from which cadets of the Capetian royal family of France could learn good governance and morality. This study intends to correct this oversight by analysing the ways in which the chroniclers Guillaume de Nangis, Richard Lescot, Pierre d’Orgemont, Jean Juvénal des Ursins, and Jean Chartier constructed moral character arcs for many of the members of the Capetian family in their continua- tions to Primat’s text. This thesis is organised into case studies that fol- low the storylines of various cadets from their introduction in the narrative to their departure. Each cadet is analysed in isolation to deter- mine how the continuators portrayed them and what moral themes their depictions supported, if any. Together, these cases prove that the chron- iclers carefully crafted their narratives to serve as miroirs, but also that their overarching goals shifted in response to the growing political cri- ses caused by the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) and the Armagnac- Burgundian civil war (1405-1435).

Pangbourne Village housing estate is exclusive, expensive and protected from the outside world by the very latest in security systems. It should be the perfect place to bring up a child. So why, in the space of ten minutes early one morning, were the thirty­two adult residents brutally murdered, and all thirteen children abducted? No kidnapper has ever come forward, and the police are mystified.

Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman. After internment in a civilian prison camp, he and his family returned to England in 1946. He published his first novel, The Drowned World, in 1961.

    12 Re-fashioning Richard III Intertextuality, Fandom, and the (Mobile) Body in The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses Marina Gerzic1 Just as the twisted shape of Richard III looms large over Shakespeare’s first tetralogy of English history plays, so too Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance as Richard casts a shadow over the second series of the BBC television adaptation of Shakespeare’s history cycle, The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (2016). This chapter examines how Cum- berbatch’s Richard is a creation of patchwork intertextual references; House of Cards (2013–present) and Game of Thrones (2011–present) are cited in filming, editing, and costume choices, and along with Cum- berbatch’s celebrity status and intertextuality from his previous roles such as Smaug the Terrible, Sherlock Holmes, and Doctor Frankenstein/ The Monster are used to shape Richard’s disability and character for the screen. This chapter shows that the resulting reception of Cumberbatch’s performance is the creation of a ‘new Richard’ that exists outside the adaptation in the realm of fandom. Zoe Fraade-Blanar and Aaron M. Glazer define fandom as “a minimum required number of people who have enough of a positive emotional response to a fan object and access to a communications platform on which to express it.”2 This chapter is not an in-depth analysis of the concepts of fandom or fan practices, though I reject the idea that fan practices supersede or even erase the source material and instead argue that they heighten an emotional reaction to the source material. Furthermore, this chapter is not an analysis of why celebrity fandoms have especially gravitated to these online spaces, or how these particular spaces influence the production and consumption of fan practices.
