Authority, Reputation, and the Roles of Jeanne De Penthièvre in Book I of Froissart's Chroniques Journal of Medieval History
Authority, reputation, and the roles of Jeanne de Penthièvre in Book I of Froissart’s Chroniques Journal of Medieval History (forthcoming 2019: accepted manuscript) Erika Graham-Goering Department of History, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium Abstract: This article examines how a medieval noblewoman’s positive reputation could be framed through different aspects of seigneurial power using a case study of Jeanne de Penthièvre and her war for the duchy of Brittany. Froissart wrote about Jeanne in the three main redactions of the first book of his Chroniques. However, he focused in the Amiens manuscript on her position as an heiress and the object of her followers’ loyalty, while the B text largely reduced her prominence but planted the seeds for the active military role Jeanne assumed in the Rome redaction. Such changes did not move strictly between more- or less- accurate reports, but engaged with different tropes that had also featured in the official portrayals of Jeanne during her lifetime. These parallel constructions of reputation reveal a plasticity to models of lordly authority even in rhetorical contexts more usually associated with formulaic and conventional representations of elite society. Article History: Received 16 May 2018. Accepted 5 July 2018. Keywords: Froissart, chronicle, reputation, rhetoric, Brittany, Jeanne de Penthievre, medieval women, lordship Rehabilitating the reputations of politically-active medieval women has meant that, in the past few decades, a growing body of scholarship has turned a much-needed critical eye to the process by which social mores, political interests, and iconic narratives could combine to create the ‘black legends’ that frequently transformed more-or-less typical noblewomen, and especially queens, into immoral caricatures. -

ISBN 978-2-7535-1430-0 1 Paru en 1996 et seulement traduit en 2011, l’ouvrage de John Bell Henneman est parti d’une interrogation fondamentale : pourquoi donc, dans ses études si complètes de la société politique du royaume de France sous les règnes de Jean II et de Charles V, Raymond Cazelles n’a-t-il jamais évoqué la figure d’Olivier de Clisson ? Sans doute, répond l’auteur parce que ce seigneur breton, dont la devise était « Pour ce qu’il me plest », n’a jamais été membre du conseil royal, ce qui ne justifie pas pour autant qu’on doive nécessairement l’écarter d’une telle analyse. -

Joan of Navarre, the “Invisible” Queen of England by Natalia Rodríguez-Salcedo and Tom Watson
Joan of Navarre, the “invisible” Queen of England by Natalia Rodríguez-Salcedo and Tom Watson Above the Cathedral’s north aisle and close to the crossing, is the window celebrating the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1936. Look higher up the window and you will see two other figures. (Fig 1) On the left is Henry IV and to the right is his second wife and queen-consort, Joan of Navarre, whom he married in 1403 at the Cathedral. The historical novelist Anne O’Brien recently called Joan (or Joanna) of Navarre (Juana de Navarra) a queen who was “more invisible than most” [1], but Joan was not only long-lived but a highly successful consort in two realms and once a regent. Fig 1 Images of Henry IV and Joan of Navarre in the Coronation Window designed by Hugh Easton Photos: Simon Newman Joan was probably born at Evreux in northern France on 10 July 1370, and died on 9 July 1437 at Havering-atte-Bower, Essex. [2] She was Duchess consort of Brittany and Queen consort of England. Joan was the regent of Brittany from 1399 until 1403 during the minority of her son John. 1 A member of the Evreux family, she was a daughter of King Charles II of Navarre (later called Charles the Bad) and Joan of Valois, daughter of Jean II of France. Aged sixteen she first married the nearly thirty-years-older Duke John IV of Brittany (Jean de Montfort), who had two English wives before her, at Saillé-près- Guérande on 2 September 1386. -
Government in the Reigns of Charles VI and Henry VI
The Politics ofMadness: Government in the Reigns of Charles VI and Henry VI By Sarah Alger BA A thesis submitted as part ofthe requirements for the degree of Bachelor ofArts with Honours in History School ofHistory and Classics University ofTasmania July 2001 Acknowledgments My sincere thanks must go to the following people, whose indispensable assistance has made this thesis possible: To Professor Michael Bennett for his eternally patient, constructive and insightful supervision, without which this thesis would not have been achievable.

To Doctor Chris Williams from the Psychology Department, who helped me to understand the psychological aspects ofCharles VI and Henry VI's cases. To Jenny Alger for her help in translating sections ofthe Chroniques du Religieux de Saint Denis and Histoire de Charles VI, without which my primary sources regarding Charles VI would have been insufficient. To my proofreaders and critics, Roland Alger, Jenny Alger and Kristy Willson-Alger, without whom this thesis would be littered with errors. To Andrew Richardson for proofreading my appendices and doing many other tedious tasks, for the use ofhis computer when mine crashed and for his unswerving support. To my niece Hazel for providing many hours ofwelcome distraction and stress relief. Special thanks must also go to my Honours colleagues whose bizarre behaviours made the stresses ofthe year easier to bear.

El Centro-Oeste Francés Y La Expedición a Las Islas Canarias En 1402
EL CENTRO-OESTE FRANCÉS Y LA EXPEDICIÓN A LAS ISLAS CANARIAS EN 1402 Nathalie Le Brun El 1 de mayo de 1402 sale del Puerto de La Rochela una expedición francesa que marca el inicio de la conquista señorial de las Islas Canarias. Según las crónicas de la conquista conocidas con el nombre de Le Canarien, en dicha empresa, encabezada por Jean de 2009 Béthencourt, caballero del País de Caux (en Normandía) y Gadifer de La Salle, caballero del País de Thouars (en Poitou), participaban naturales de Normandía y de toda la franja oeste de Francia. Nos hemos interesado en la participación de estos últimos, y más particularmente en los nativos de la zona centro-oeste. A principios del siglo XV, el centro-oeste correspondía a universitaria, las provincias de Poitou, Saintonge, Aunis y Angoumois. Globalmente, estaba delimitado al norte por el valle del Loira y se extendía hacia el sur hasta el estuario de Gironde; estaba bordeado al oeste por las costas atlánticas y se extendía hacia las tierras interiores unos 200 Biblioteca kilómetros aproximadamente. El País de Aunis correspondía a un pequeño enclave costero rodeado por Poitou y Saintonge, y tenía como principal centro urbano y portuario La Rochela. ULPGC. A la hora de situar dicha expedición dentro de un contexto social general, nos damos por cuenta de que el momento de su realización corresponde a una época en que, tras haber sido escenario de conflictos franco-ingleses durante más de cincuenta años, el centro-oeste francés vive un período de tregua de diez años (1394-1404) en la guerra de Cien Años (1330-1453). -

By Paula Sutter Fichtner. (London, England: Reaktion Books, 2008. Pp. 205. $45.00.) As its slightly unfortunate title suggests, this author’s overarching, but carefully grounded, scholarly account of the Habsburg encounter with the Ottoman Empire is moved very much by concerns of the present. She proceeds by means of three equally weighted chapters, sandwiched between a broad-brush introduction out- lining the historiographical and contemporary political contexts and a short “coda” that looks forward into the second half of the nineteenth century. -

As the kingdom of France consolidated and royal authority was extended, political power became centered in the person of the king and his bureaucratic advisers. One consequence was the decline or once powerful members of the feudal aristocracy and the queen. In the time of the early Capetians, the queen had been a true partner in power with the king, traveling with him and sharing the same household. But by 1500, she was excluded from power and participation in government, and her intimacy with the ld.ng was undermined by the formation of a separate household. By the thirteenth century the governmental functions of the queen were ceremonial, decorative, or sym bolic. Thus it was only under extraordinary circumstances that a queen could gain independent political power, and such was the fate of Isabeau of Bavaria. When she married Charles VI, ld.ng or France, in 1385, he was under a regency controlled by four dukes, but in three years Charles asserted his sole authority by releasing them. -
