Abstract

A plethora of the most important aspects of late medieval England are covered here, with a focus on Edward I. Crown-magnate relations, the Anglo-Scottish, Anglo-French and Anglo-Irish wars, national and local finance and administration and the nature of late medieval kingship are among the principal themes explored in this volume, along with aristocratic consumption, historical writing, chivalric culture and a review of recent work on crusading history. All newly commissioned from distinguished scholars, they shed new light on late medieval British political, military and governmental history. CONTRIBUTORS: NICHOLAS VINCENT, DAVID CARPENTER, M. L. HOLFORD, ARCHIE DUNCAN, MATTHEW STRICKLAND, BJORN WEILER, ROBIN FRAME, ANDY KING, W. MARK ORMROD, G. L. HARRISS, NORMAN HOUSLEY, ANNE CURRY, MAURICE KEEN, WENDY CHILDS.

Abstract

Factional Struggles' explores the dynamics of conflicts among ruling elites within cities, dynastic courts, rural areas and regional noble lineages during the early modern period. Building on case studies from France, Italy, the Empire and the Swiss Confederation, the essays collected by Mathieu Caesar in this volume highlight how factions were formed and how they shaped political society from the late Middle Ages. The authors have especially focused on how political and religious ideologies contributed to the formation of partisanship, the role of propaganda, and the significance and strategies of factional leaders. The volume shows how factions, despite the generally negative view of them held by theologians and jurists, were in practice accepted and used as political tools.

Abstract

Sans rien ignorer des spécificités de différentes aristocraties, anciennes et nouvelles, et des groupes qui les constituent, les auteurs de cet ouvrage tentent plutôt de les confronter, de rechercher les caractères communs qui les soudent, les différences qui les séparent et, plus encore, les fondements de clivages souvent ambigus entre aristocrates et non-aristocrates. Leur ambition est tout à la fois de présenter des études de cas précises réalisées en France, Grande-Bretagne, Allemagne, Italie, Hongrie, Finlande et Suède, un état des lieux ainsi que des recherches sur les noblesses menées par historiens, anthropologues et sociologues et enfin de proposer une analyse critique et comparative des évolutions de ces noblesses. Quel est le poids du symbolique mais aussi des décrochements politiques dans les transformations: disparition, désagrégation et parfois recomposition des anciennes aristocraties et constitution de nouvelles aristocraties ? Comment appréhender le phénomène aristocratique dans son extension européenne ? Comment articuler étude des tensions entre appartenances contradictoires - nationale et européenne, nobiliaire et démocratique - dans lesquelles sont parfois enserrés les aristocrates, et analyse des modes de reproduction de ces groupes ? Ce sont quelques-unes des questions majeures abordées dans ce livre.
