What is undeniable is that for a few months many Frenchmen thought they were fighting a holy war, and the English went in terror of the Maid and her sorceries.

My only slight qualm I feel worth mentioning is that Seward seems almost irritated with the way history has revered Joan of Arc and as a result glosses over her contributions and role in the war. England showed decreasing enthusiasm for conflict deemed not in the national interest, yielding only losses in return for high economic burdens. Even after her death, the French, still feeding on the inspiration she brought, persevered through the next 22 years to drive the English out of every one of their strongholds on the Continent. Philip VI had assembled a large naval fleet off Marseilles as part of an ambitious plan for a crusade to the Holy Land. Clear, concise, and entertaining summary of a complicated conflict.

Furthermore, French kings found alternative ways to finance the war — sales taxes, debasing the coinage — and were less dependent than the English on tax levies passed by national legislatures.

I'm being a little mean to Desmond Seward with only three stars. It's a good intro to the topic, the more so as there is little else out there to read about it. Starting due to a question of succession for the English throne and who had what rights to the French crown, there continues a long series of this various engagements. However, a variety of factors such as the deaths of both Henry and Charles in , the emergence of Joan of Arc which boosted French morale, and the loss of Burgundy as an ally, marking the end of the civil war in France, prevented it. However, the English were decisively defeated at the Battle of Castillon on 17 July To the kings of France, this dangerously threatened their royal authority, and so they would constantly try to undermine English rule in France, while the English monarchs would struggle to protect and expand their lands.

    Late-Medieval France: A Nation under Construction A study of French national identity formation and the emerging of national consciousness, before and during the Hundred Years War, 1200-1453 Job van den Broek MA History of Politics and Society Dr. Christian Wicke Utrecht University 22 June 2020 Word count: 13.738 2 “Ah! 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.

Review by: Stephen Donnachie Review: King John: England, Magna Carta and the making of a Tyrant King John: England, Magna Carta and the making of a Tyrant. By Stephen Church. London: Pan Books, 2015. ISBN: 978-1-4472-4195-9. xxxi + 334 pp. £25. he association of King John with tyranny, bad governance, and the abuse of power is an image long accepted of England’s most infamous monarch. John’s negative reputation was one well T known to contemporary chroniclers and avidly seized upon by later writers to villainise his rule. John’s reputation has proceeded him down through the centuries, his crimes deemed inexcusable and his reign viewed as an abysmal failure. Compared to the successes of his illustrious father Henry II, bellicose brother Richard I, and great rival Philip II Augustus of France, John’s achievements have always appeared as shallow victories and he as the least of the “devil’s brood”. Despite his longstanding legend of cruelty more recent works upon John have attempted to rehabilitate him, presenting the image of a complex individual and talented administrator whose abilities and accomplishments are both admirable and praiseworthy. However, these attempts to reform John’s image and to reassess his reign return to his key failures: the loss of Normandy and other continental possessions, the defeat at the battle of Bouvines and short road to rebellion and Magna Carta that followed. Stephen Church in this thoroughly engaging and well written biography does not attempt to dispel the notion of John as a tyrant and cast him in a new light, nor does he seek to provide us with a misunderstood hero or melodramatic villain.

Hudson Professor of History and Medieval Studies Thesis Supervisor/Honors Adviser Robert Edwards Professor of English and Comparative Literature Thesis Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The beginning of the Hundred Years War came about from relentless conflict between France and England, with roots that can be traced the whole way to the 11th century, following the Norman invasion of England. These periods of engagement were the result of English nobles both living in and possessing land in northwest France. In their efforts to prevent further bloodshed, the monarchs began to engage in marriage diplomacy; by sending a young princess to a rival country, the hope would be that her native people would be unwilling to wage war on a royal family that carried their own blood. While this method temporarily succeeded, the tradition would create serious issues of inheritance, and the beginning of the last phase of the Hundred Years War, and the last act of success on the part of the English, the Treaty of Troyes, is the culmination of the efforts of the French kings of the early 14th century to pacify their English neighbors, cousins, and nephews. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Plantagenet Claim to France...................................................................................

    The Chronicle of Melrose Abbey A STRATIGRAPHIC EDITION I. Introduction and Facsimile DAUVIT BROUN JULIAN HARRISON Scottish History Society 2007 fcs. SH/ SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY SIXTH SERIES VOLUME I The Chronicle of Melrose Abbey A Stratigraphic Edition Volume I Introduction and Facsimile Edition The Chronicle of Melrose Abbey is the principal source for Scottish history in the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries; it is also a remark- able survival of a chronicle-manuscript that grew for over a century. It is thus of great importance to historians and palaeographers alike. This new edition is accompanied by a detailed introduction, offering a full account of scribes; a collation of the manuscript; a discussion of the manuscripts evolution and binding-history in the light of its disbinding in 2005-d; a new ‘stratigraphic’ approach to the chronicle’s development; and a full account of the manuscript’s history. There is also a discussion of Cistercian chronicling in the British Isles. Of particular interest is the recognition that the manu- script comprised part of British Library MS Cotton Julius B. XIII as well as Cotton Faustina B. IX, shedding new light on the nature of the original codex and its date. The book is accompanied by a DVD containing digitised images of the whole manuscript. Dr Dauvit Broun is a senior lecturer in Scottish History at the University of Glasgow Julian Harrison is a Research Fellow in Scottish History at the University of Glasgow and is attached to the Department of Western Manuscripts at the British Library SCOTTISH CHRONICLES PROJECT This is the first of a number of volumes on Scottish chronicles which will appear occasionally as part of the main series of annual volumes published by the Scottish History Society.

  • The Invasion of Prince Louis of France to England, 1216–1217 OPEN ACCESS
    The Invasion of Prince Louis of France to England, 1216–1217 OPEN ACCESS Jan Malý In the middle of the month of June 1215, an assembly of English barons, currently in revolt against King John of England, called “Lackland” met him in Runnymede be- tween London and Windsor. They came up with a series of articles, limiting royal power and establishing boundaries between the king and his people. After few days of negotiations, King John finally agreed to put his royal seal on the document, which became one of the most famous not only in the history of British Isles but also in the history of whole world. On 19 June of 1215, Magna Carta was born.1 The path to Runnymede was the beginning of serious civil war, which would tear England apart for almost two years, during which King John would be deposed and replaced by a man, who wouldn’t be expected by many — an heir to the French throne, Prince Louis. What was the true purpose of Louis’s invitation and how it eventually ended? We will try to reveal in following lines. Before we can examine the story of “King Louis of England”, it’s necessary to look on the reasons for his English adventure. The reign of King John,2 who succeeded his brother Richard in 1199, was in many ways troubled and full of conflicts. After he had settled his initial problems with succession, when he had to struggle against his nephew Arthur of Brittany (disappeared in 1203, probably killed by his uncle John) 1 One of the most acknowledged and fullest work about Magna Carta is J.

The Affair or the State: Intellectuals, the Press, and the Dreyfus Affair Abstract In his introduction to The Age of Revolution historian Eric Hobsbawm considers "a few English words which were invented, or gained their modern meanings, substantially in the period" between 1789 and 1848. The list includes 'capitalism', 'socialism', 'aristocracy', 'liberal', 'conservative', 'nationality', 'crisis', 'journalism', and 'ideology'. For Hobsbawm, "To imagine the modern world without these words (i.e. without the things and concepts for which they provide names) is to measure the profundity of the revolution which broke out between 1789 and 1848, and forms the greatest transformation in human history since the remote times when men invented agriculture and metallurgy, writing, the city and the state." This analysis is relevant when thinking of the Dreyfus case. To imagine the Affair without words such as 'capitalism', 'aristocracy', 'nationality', 'crisis', or 'ideology', is not hard, it is impossible.
