Faced by stunning military disasters and the collapse of public order, writers and intellectuals carefully scrutinized the martial qualities expected of knights and soldiers. They questioned when knights and men-at-arms could legitimately resort to violence, the true nature of courage, the importance of mercy, and the role of books and scholarly learning in the very practical world of military men. Contributors to these discussions included some of the most famous French medieval writers, led by Jean Froissart, Geoffroi de Charny, Philippe de Mézières, Honorat Bovet, Christine de Pizan, Alain Chartier and Antoine de La Sale. This interdisciplinary study sets their discussions in context, challenging modern, romantic assumptions about chivalry and investigating the historical reality of debates about knighthood and warfare in late medieval France.Chivalry & the Ideals of Knighthood in France during the Hundred Years WarChivalryPhilosophyChivalryFranceHistoryTo 1500Chivalry in literatureHistoryTo 1500Knights and knighthoodFranceHistoryTo 1500Knights and knighthood in literatureHistoryTo 1500Hundred Years' War, 1339-1453War and societyFranceHistoryTo 1500ChivalryPhilosophy.ChivalryHistoryChivalry in literatureHistoryKnights and knighthoodHistoryKnights and knighthood in literatureHistoryHundred Years' War, 1339-1453.War and societyHistory394/.70944Taylor Craig(Historian),1042781UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910462724003321Chivalry and the ideals of knighthood in France during the Hundred Years War2467276UNINA
