Thinking about them and their relations with Louis IX opens up a new and altogether sobering vista for exploring the nature of the king's rule and the impact of his rule on his subjects.Natalie Zemon Davis annual lecture series ;v. 11.CourtesansFranceBiographyFrancePolitics and government1226-1270FranceHistoryLouis IX, 1226-1270FranceCourt and courtiersHistoryTo 150013th century, Biography, Court, Courtier, France, Medieval.Courtesans944/.023Jordan William Chester1948-170274MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786314603321Men at the center3693856UNINA
