Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis XI, known as "The Spider King" because he wove many intricate plots, lives on in popular imagination primarily as a villain and a cruel, cunning, rather unscrupulous character. Absolutists fled to his banner whilst constitutionalists reviled him as a rapacious totalitarian murderer. In Images of Kingship in Early Modern France, Adrianna Bakos uses the changing nature of Louis XI's historical reputation to explore the intellectual and political climate of early modern France. Using Louis XI's historical reputation as a prism for fresh investigation, Adrianna Bakos offers new, more complex interpretations of the ideological landscape of early modern France. Images of Kingship in Early Modern France is an important contribution to European historiography and to debates on historical versus political interpretations of Kingship.

Book excerpt: "The 'Memoirs' of Philippe de Commynes have been celebrated for more than four hundred years both as a remarkable literary work and as a priceless controbution to the history of the fifteenth century. They fall into two quite different parts. The first (comprising Books I-VI) narrates the intense, violent struggle for the dominance of western Europe between Louis XI of France and his greatest vassal, Charles the Rash, Duke of Burgundy, which was resolved by the triumph of the king; it begins with the appearance of Commynes on the political scene in 1464 as a young squire in the service of the House of Burgundy and ends in 1483 with the death of Louis XI, at which Commynes was himself present. In the second part (Books VII-VIII) he recounts the first French invation of Italy in 1494 under Louis XI's feeble son, Charles VIII. He took part in that ill-fated expedition, s a royal councillor and diplomat, and fought at Charles VIII's side in the desperate battle of Fornovo; but the chief adviser and confidant of Louis XI enjoyed little influence in King Charles' frivolous household. The 'Memoirs' conclude in 1498, following the death of Charles VIII, with Commynes' entering the service of that monarch's successor, Louis XII. It is the earlier, and much richer, part of the 'Memoirs' that is here translated." -- introduction, page 7.

Book excerpt: Le portrait renouvelé d'un roi majeur de la France médiévale, par son plus fin historien. Louis XI est le roi de France, et plus largement le souverain d'Europe, qui a le plus fortement marqué le Moyen Âge tardif. Au point que les travaux qui lui sont consacrés sont nombreux, mais tous, ou quasiment, se concentrent sur la manière dont il a été dépeint, loué ou condamné au fil des siècles plutôt que sur le contenu de son règne, de 1461 à 1483, et sa gouvernance. Le portrait brossé ici laisse de côté les stéréotypes usés, notamment l'image un peu simple et sinistre de l'" universelle araignée ", et tente de mettre en pleine lumière des pans essentiels du caractère du souverain et de sa politique : justice, religion, armée... Se découvre alors un roi omniprésent, à la fois ondoyant et intransigeant sur sa fonction, maître d'un pragmatisme érigé en doctrine, qu'il s'agisse de régler le conflit avec Charles le Téméraire ou d'apaiser ses grands vassaux et de courir après la " finance ". S'il est coutumier de souligner la modernité de ceux dont nous écrivons l'histoire, rarement l'emploi de ce mot a été aussi justifié que dans le cas de Louis XI, parfois englué dans son temps, mais aussi visionnaire en perpétuel mouvement. C'est à un grand roi que ce présent volume a voulu revenir, et aux vérités de son action et de son règne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Louis XI: The Rebel Dauphin and the Statesman King From His Original Letters and Other Documents The historian, P. F. Willert, who wrote a Life of Louis XI in 1876 (historical Handbooks), regrets that these letters were not available then, yet in many points he forestalls the later view therein given of the character of Louis XI, which has also been so warmly advocated by recent French writers, such as M. Urbain Legeay. He remarks that a student may perhaps be perplexed to find Louis presented in a light so different from that in which, owing to an early ac quaintance with 'quentin Durward, ' he may have learnt to regard him.

Download or read book Louis XI written by Paul Murray Kendall and published by Fayard/Pluriel. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’histoire de Louis XI est celle d’un homme qui sut imposer ses décisions, qui dut garder sans cesse l’esprit en éveil, plier le temps à ses desseins, être deux fois plus habile et trois plus rapide que ses semblables, et cacher son sens de la comédie derrière les gestes du conformisme. Ce livre nous montre l’image d’un homme aux capacités exceptionnelles, doué d’une personnalité diverse et complexe. Certains le considéraient comme « le plus subtil qui soit ». Pourtant, peu après sa mort, on racontait qu’il s’abreuvait du sang des nouveau-nés au cours de sa dernière maladie, était l’assassin de son frère et se délectait à écouter les cris de ses victimes torturées. En abandonnant la légende pour retrouver la vie, Paul Murray Kendall révèle les vraies dimensions de l’homme, son habileté à charmer, son insatiable curiosité, son goût de la loyauté. Tout cela dans une biographie qui apporte une contribution essentielle à l’histoire du xve siècle tout en demeurant d’une lecture facile et passionnante. Paul Murray Kendall (1911-1973) a enseigné l’histoire à l’université de l’Ohio et à celle du Kansas. Il a consacré plusieurs ouvrages à l’histoire du xve siècle. Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Éric Diacon.
