Download or read book The Hundred Years War Volume 1 written by Jonathan Sumption and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1999-09-29 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What history records as the Hundred Years War was in fact a succession of destructive conflicts, separated by tense intervals of truce and dishonest and impermanent peace treaties, and one of the central events in the history of England and France. It laid the foundations of France's national consciousness, even while destroying the prosperity and political preeminence which France had once enjoyed. It formed the nation's institutions, creating the germ of the absolute state of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In England, it brought intense effort and suffering, a powerful tide of patriotism, great fortune succeeded by bankruptcy, disintegration, and utter defeat. The war also brought turmoil and ruin to neighboring Scotland, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
Download or read book Les Fran aises pendant la guerre de Cent Ans written by Jean Verdon and published by Librairie Académique Perrin. This book was released on 1991 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au travers de la vie des Françaises de toutes conditions pendant la guerre de Cent Ans, c'est un tableau des mœurs de la société française au cours de plus d'un siècle de notre histoire que dresse Jean Verdon, historien reconnu du Moyen Age. Servantes ou maîtresse ? Apparemment les contemporains de la guerre de Cent Ans regardent les femmes avec les yeux de leurs ancêtres... et de nombre de leurs descendants. Bien fragiles paraissent les voix des paysannes de Montaillou ou celle de Christine de Pisan. Tenir la maison, faire des enfants, telle doit être la tâche des femmes. D'ailleurs ne sont-elles pas des êtres inférieurs ? Ni l'amour courtois, jeu aristocratique, ni le culte de Marie, vierge mère, qui risque de déprécier la sexualité conjugale, ne peuvent enrayer ce courant. De la naissance à la mort, les femmes se trouvent placées sous l'autorité masculine. Jeunes, elles dépendent de leur père. Epouses, elles doivent obéissance à leur époux. Pourtant, les femmes nobles gèrent de vastes domaines durant les absences de leur époux et jouent un rôle politique à la tête des fiefs parfois importants. Il en est qui, instruites, pratiquent le mécénat. Les paysannes aident leur époux dans certains travaux. A la ville, malgré un malthusianisme grandissant, les artisanes exercent la plupart des métiers. Mais la période est rude. Guerre étrangère et civile, peste, dépression économique jalonnent le XIVe siècle et une partie du XVe. La violence soldatesque et, plus encore, villageoise, familiale, s'exerce aux dépens des femmes. Bien des veuves sans ressources mènent une triste existence. Voilà pourquoi, entre autres raisons, on rencontre tant de marginales, particulièrement des prostituées, encore qu'on assigne alors à celles-ci un rôle social - détourner des épouses le désir des mâles célibataires, lutter contre l'homosexualité. Sombre tableau, bien éloigné de certaines visions édéniques, mais que Jean Verdon tempère. Ne peut-on se demander en effet si la misogynie n'était pas en partie le reflet de la crainte d'une domination féminine au sein du foyer ? Si on la craignait, n'était-ce pas parce qu'elle était assez répandue ? Et n'oublions pas que cette époque voit coexister Jeanne D'Arc et Colette de Corbie, réformatrice des clarisses, sans parler d'Agnès Sorel, la belle maîtresse de Charles VII.

Download or read book The Warrior King and the Invasion of France written by Desmond Seward and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the course of the Hundred Years War, Henry V was the English figure most responsible for the mutual antipathy that existed between France and England. His art of attacking an opponent by making total war on civilians, as well as soldiers, created tremendous distrust and enmity between the two countries, which survives even to this day. He was a man of many contradictions, a perverse mix of rigorous orthodoxy—exemplified by his fanatical and intolerant religion—and of neurotic insecurity, stemming in part from the dubious nature of his claim to the English throne.Henry V owed his popularity at home to victories against the French that gratified an emerging English nationalism. A tremendously ardent military strategist who experimented with ballistics and built the first English navy, at the time of his early death at the age of thirty-six he controlled one-third of modern-day France. Utilizing new discoveries from local French historical societies, Desmond Seward draws a portrait of Henry V that shows him as a brilliant military strategist, ambitious conqueror, and, at least briefly, triumphant warrior king.
Download or read book Knights and Peasants written by Nicholas Wright and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1998 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exciting and provocative... Overall, this courageous, well-written book provides us with a ground-breaking survey. It brings out a story of the Hundred Years War that has long needed to be told, and will deservedly form an essential addition to reading on the subject. HISTORY TODAY This alternative account of peasant life during crisis is a welcome addition to the historiography of late-medieval France... a useful corrective to most standard interpretations of warfare and peasantry. SPECULUM This study of the soldier-peasant relationship in the context of the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) aims to bring out the realities of the situation. It seeks an understanding of different attitudes: how aristocratic soldiers reconciled the ideals of chivalry with exploitation of non-combatants, and how French peasants reacted to the soldiery, drawing on the late-medieval literature of chivalry and political commentary in England and (especially) in France. Employing additional documentary material, including the largely unpublished records of the French royal chancery, the book also describes the ways in which individual peasants and village communities were exploited by soldiers, and how, in order to survive, they adjusted to and reacted against their treatment.

Download or read book The Hundred Years War Vol 5 written by Jonathan Sumption and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eagerly anticipated final volume in Jonathan Sumption's prize-winning history of the Hundred Years War, 'one of the great historical undertakings of our age' (Dan Jones, Sunday Times). Triumph and Illusion is the final volume of Jonathan Sumption's epic history of the Hundred Years War. It tells the story of the collapse of the English dream of conquest, from the opening years of the reign of Henry VI, when the battles of Cravant and Verneuil consolidated their control of most of northern France, to the loss of all of England's continental dominions except Calais thirty years later. This sudden reversal of fortune was a seminal event in the history of the two principal nation-states of western Europe. It brought to an end four centuries of the English dynasty's presence in France, separating two countries whose fates had once been closely intertwined. It created a new sense of national identity in both countries. The legacy of these events would influence their divergent prospects for centuries to come. Behind the clash of arms stood some of the most remarkable personalities of the age: the Duke of Bedford, the English Regent who ruled much of France from Paris and Rouen; Charles VII of France, underrated in both countries, who patiently rebuilt his kingdom after the disasters of his early years; the captains who populate the pages of Shakespeare - Fastolf, Montagu, Talbot, Dunois and, above all, the extraordinary figure of Joan of Arc, who changed the course of the war in a few weeks at the age of seventeen.
