Entered according to the Act of Congress of the Confederate States of America, BY JOHN RUSSELL, In the District Court for the District of South Carolina. TO W. GILMORE SIMMSy ESQ.y LL.D. MY DEAR SIR, In looking abroad for one to whom I might inscribe this volume, I know of no one to whom I can more worthily dedicate it than to you—to you, my nearest neighbour and one of my oldest friends; to you, who first suggested the work as one suited to my capacity, my tastes, and to what little learning I possessed ; who watched over its progress with scarcely less interest than if it had been your own; and who cheered me on, through the years of labour it has cost me, to its final completion now. To me it will be a pleasing reflection, that we, who have lived under the same sky, who have looked to heaven for the same refreshing rains, and for its grateful sunshine; that we, who have so long interchanged our thoughts on ques­ tions of deep interest, and who have sympathized in each others' joys and sorrows,—should have our names associated in the minds of men, when we shall no longer be affected either by their praise or their censure. " Inque sepulchro, Si non urna, tamen junget nos littera. Si non Ossibus ossa meis, at nomen nomine tangam." Ever most truly yours, D. F- JAMISON. BuRWOOD, Feb. I'jth, 1862. ' •• " " "Tl '• " •• •• " " " ' ADFER TISEMENT. HAVE attempted to rescue from oblivion the name of a man whose deeds are now almost unknown to the English, whom he opposed in a life-long conflict, and are regarded somewhat in the light of a myth by a large body of the French people, whom he defended ; whose fame, during a great portion of the fourteenth century, was only inferior, if it was inferior, to that of Edward III. of England and his heroic son the Black Prince. Coming forth from the wild forests of Brittany, with no advantages of education or birth, for he was the son of a poor and obscure knight, he became the leader of a band of adventurers, during the wars between John de Montfort and Charles de Blois for the succession to the duchy of Brittany; and, by dint of personal prowess, courage, and sagacity, he first extended his reputation throughout his native province, and then, attracting the notice of the king of France by his daring courage at the siege of Melun and his triumphant victory at Cocherel, he led the Free Com­ panies into Spain, dethroned Peter the Cruel, and placed Henry of Trastamara on the throne of Castille; when, return­ ing to his own country, he was created constable over the viii Advertisement. highest heads in the realm, and, by his prudence, firmness, and military skill, gradually drove the English out of all their extended possessions in France, until little was left to them but the city of Bordeaux in the south and Calais in the north. Such were the achievements of Bertrand du Guesclin. To the high qualities of mind and heart, which insured success, were added the virtues of generosity, good faith, and loyalty, which secured esteem; and no one of his time was more regarded in life or more regretted in death. It seemed to me, therefore, a worthy object to sweep from his memory the dust in which time was fast enveloping it, and preserve, for our own and subsequent years, the records of a life that derived its chief lustre from the stern virtues of the man, without those external advantages of fortune on which we commonly set so high a value. No period of the past has appeared to me more interest­ ing and instructive than that portion of mediaeval history which is embraced within the limits of this work. It was a period of transition from one state of civiHzation to another, when the old elements of society began to give way: to be replaced by new forms, or to be charged with new functions. It was the period when the feudal system, which had at­ tained its utmost vigour during the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries, with its traditions, its isolation, and real power, was forced to yield to the increasing authority of the prince, the growing influence of the communes and of men acting in masses. It was the period when the Crusades, which had precipitated one continent upon another for the recovery of the Holy Sepulchre, was little more than a re­ miniscence, and when the enthusiasm of Europe could no longer be aroused to arras at the bidding of the church; Advertisement. ix and when the head of that church, which had for centuries exercised a sway so potent over the Germanic nations after they had been transplanted on the Roman soil—driven from Rome, by schism and the factions of Italy, to "seventy years of captivity " at Avignon—was scarcely respected by sove­ reigns, and little reverenced by the people. It was the period when the institution of chivalry, which had so long exerted its humanizing influences over the individual man, and softened the manners of a barbarous age—with all its romance, its tournaments, and pageants—began to decline ; and when woman, who had been too much idolized before marriage and too secluded after it, came to exert a more wholesome influence on society, because it was more diffused. It was the period when, by the discovery of gunpowder, the lance and battle-axe began to give place to cannon and the matchlock, and when a standing military force came to be substituted for the hasty levies of the feudal militia; and it was the period when romantic literature disappeared with the songs of the troubadours; when, during the reigns of Edward III. of England and Charles the Wise of France, the Latin language became less extensively used in the pre­ paration of state papers and the preservation of historical records ; and when Chaucer in the first-named country, and Froissart in the last, employed their native tongues to give forth to the people the effusions of poetry, and to chronicle the passing events of the times. It was my design to introduce the work which is now offered to the public by a brief sketch of the state of Europe, from the commencement to the middle of the fourteenth cen­ tury; and, particularly, to show the general character of feudal­ ism, its influence on society and manners by the isolation of the X Advertisement. individual man, by its destruction of all political unity, its segregation of the people into a multitude of small sove­ reignties, and in the entire absence of a controlling head or central government—that the feudal epoch, which may be comprised between the reigns of Hugh Capet and Philippe de Valois in France, was marked by private wars, as distin­ guished from national, between one feudal lord and another, for the increase of power and the extension of territory, and by the Crusades which terminated with it; and in what manner feudalism gave way before the increasing influence of the throne and the communities; but neither the circum­ stances of the times nor my own situation permitted me to carry out this purpose. The original draft of the work was completed—after seven or eight years of assiduous labour, during the intervals of leisure from other and engrossing employments—a little more than two years ago; and I had set riiyself to the task of re-writing the whole, of which not above one hundred and twenty pages of manuscript were completed, when the work was suspended by my public duties, in the month of Decem­ ber, i860. About the ist of June of the following year I resumed the revision, which was finished just one year ago, about the gloomiest period of the great struggle between the South and the North, when Fort Donelson fell and Nashville was occupied by our enemies. Amidst the distractions of passing events, I attempted to write the introduction which I had designed ; but the times to me were then too sad to inquire into the history of the past—the present absorbed all my thoughts; and now, if the prospect is less gloomy than before, I have no leisure from my public engagements to carry out my design. Advertisement. xi After completing the revision, I placed the MS. in my escritoir, to await more peaceable and happy times ; and the work would not now have seen the light, but for the kind offers of one whom I am happy to call my friend—of Theodore D. Wagner, Esq., a distinguished member of the patriotic and princely house of John Fraser and Co. of Charleston, and Fraser, Trenholm, and Co. of Liverpool. I am aware that I incur two serious risks in trusting the work to the chances of capture by an ever-vigilant enemy now blockading our harbour, and infesting the seas between this port and the place of its destination, as well as in trust­ ing the proofs of its publication to any other eye than my own. This risk is especially great, as, with few exceptions, it will be found that I have used none but original materials in the composition of the work; and, as the references in the notes, with which I have taken especial pains, are to autho­ rities in old French and Spanish of the fourteenth century, mediseval Latin, and occasionally in Gascon, the author must incur the hazard of many errors in the publication.

Though it took to the end of the seven- teenth century for the modem law of nations, based on the idea of state sover- eignty, to be formed, the roots of many of its concepts and institutions can be situated in this period2 .

Doulce France! Amie, je te lairay briefment”1 -Attributed to Bertrand du Guesclin, 1380 Images on front page: The kings of France, England, Navarre and the duke of Burgundy (as Count of Charolais), as depicted in the Grand Armorial Équestre de la Toison d’Or, 1435- 1438. 1 Cuvelier in Charrière, volume 2, pp 320. ”Ah, sweet France, my friend, I must leave you very soon.” Translation my own. 2 3 Abstract Whether nations and nationalism are ancient or more recent phenomena is one of the core debates of nationalism studies. Since the 1980’s, modernism, claiming that nations are distinctively modern, has been the dominant view. In this thesis, I challenge this dominant view by doing an extensive case-study into late-medieval France, applying modernist definitions and approaches to a pre-modern era. France has by many regarded as one of the ‘founding fathers’ of the club of nations and has a long and rich history and thus makes a case-study for such an endeavour. I start with mapping the field of French identity formation in the thirteenth century, which mostly revolved around the royal court in Paris. With that established, I move on to the Hundred Years War and the consequences of this war for French identity.

  • 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.

    Sarah L. Peverley A Tretis Compiled out of Diverse Cronicles (1440): A Study and Edition of the Short English Prose Chronicle Extant in London, British Library, Additional 34,764 Sarah L. Peverley Introduction The short English prose chronicle extant in London, British Library, MS Additional 34,764 has never been edited or received any serious critical attention.1 Styled as ‘a tretis compiled oute of diuerse cronicles’ (hereafter Tretis), the text was completed in ‘the xviij yere’ of King Henry VI of England (1439–1440) by an anonymous author with an interest in, and likely connection with, Cheshire. Scholars’ neglect of the Tretis to date is largely attributable to the fact that it has been described as a ‘brief and unimportant’ account of English history, comprising a genealogy of the English kings derived from Aelred of Rievalux’s Genealogia regum Anglorum and a description of England abridged from Book One of Ranulph Higden’s Polychronicon.2 While the author does utilize these works, parts of the Tretis are nevertheless drawn from other sources and the combination of the materials is more sophisticated than has hitherto been acknowledged. Beyond the content of the Tretis, the manuscript containing it also needs reviewing. As well as being the only manuscript in which the Tretis has been identified to date, Additional 34,764 was once part of a (now disassembled) fifteenth- century miscellany produced in the Midlands circa 1475. The miscellany was 1 To date, the only scholar to pay attention to the nature of the text is Edward Donald Kennedy, who wrote two short entries on the chronicle (Kennedy 1989: 2665-2666, 2880-2881; 2010: 1).

Used with permission. ‘But Who Will Bell the Cat?’: Deschamps, Brinton, Langland, and the Hundred Years War Elizaveta Strakhov Surprisingly little work has been done on William Langland and contemporary responses to the Hundred Years War: surprising not in the least because this war was a dominant international political conflict over the course of the poet’s lifetime and because Langland openly references the famous Treaty of Brétigny in the continuation of the Meed episode in Passus III. In that passus, Meed invokes the Treaty as part of her defense of meed, and its centrality to good administrative rule, before the king at Westminster. She accuses Conscience of having demurred from battle for fear of a ‘dym cloude’ (B. 3. 193), which has been understood as a topical allusion to the so-called ‘Black Monday’ storm that beset Edward III’s troops at Chartres on April 13, 1360, just before the signing of the Treaty of Brétigny, much remarked upon by contemporary chroniclers.1 Meed goes on to accuse Conscience of having persuaded the king ‘to leven his lordshipe for a litel silver’ (B. 3. 207) and, far more unambiguously in the C-text, of having counseled him ‘to leten | In his enemyes handes his heritage of Fraunce’ (C.
