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 Me?zie?res, 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. 517 3 $aChivalry & the Ideals of Knighthood in France during the Hundred Years War 606 $aChivalry$xPhilosophy 606 $aChivalry$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChivalry in literature$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aKnights and knighthood$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aKnights and knighthood in literature$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHundred Years' War, 1339-1453 606 $aWar and society$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aChivalry$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aChivalry$xHistory 615 0$aChivalry in literature$xHistory 615 0$aKnights and knighthood$xHistory 615 0$aKnights and knighthood in literature$xHistory 615 0$aHundred Years' War, 1339-1453. 615 0$aWar and society$xHistory 676 $a394/.70944 700 $aTaylor$b Craig$c(Historian),$01491350 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787647503321 996 $aChivalry and the ideals of knighthood in France during the Hundred Years War$93713141 997 $aUNINA
