Описание: Volume IV of the first complete English translation of the chronicles of Fernao Lopes chronicles the Battle of Aljubarrota (1385), which secured the throne for Joao I, his marriage to Philippa of Lancaster, and his reign up to 1411.Until now, the chronicles of Fernao Lopes (c.1380-c.1460) have only been available in critical editions or in partial translations. Comparable to the works of Froissart in France or Lopez de Ayala in Spain, the chronicles provide a wealth of detail on late fourteenth-century politics, diplomacy, warfare and economic matters, courtly society, queenship and noble women, as well as more mundane concerns such as food, health and the purchasing power of a fluctuating currency. Lopes had a keen eye for detail and a perspective especially attuned to the common people, and his chronicles provide an invaluable source for the history of Western Europe in the later Middle Ages.

Описание: Alongside annals, chronicles were the main genre of historical writing in the Middle Ages. Their significance as sources for the study of medieval history and culture is today widely recognised not only by historians, but also by students of medieval literature and linguistics and by art historians. The series The Medieval Chronicle aims to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds. There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of a yearbook. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Europe and throughout the Middle Ages chronicles were written, both in Latin and in the vernacular, and not only in Europe but also in the countries neighbouring on it, like those of the Arabic world. Secondly, all chronicles raise such questions as by whom, for whom, or for what purpose were they written, how do they reconstruct the past, what determined the choice of verse or prose, or what kind of literary influences are discernable in them. Finally, many chronicles have been beautifully illuminated, and the relation between text and image leads to a wholly different set of questions. The Medieval Chronicle is published in cooperation with the Medieval Chronicle Society (medievalchronicle.org).

Описание: Gilles li Muisit was the abbot of the Benedictine monastery of St. Martin of Tournai, a city on the north-eastern border of France. This region was a at the centre of Edward III's campaigns in Flanders at the beginning of the Hundred Years War. Le Muisit's chronicle covers events in France and Flanders from the point of view of a well informed contemporary. He kept records of important events from around 1330 onwards, and when he went blind in 1345, he occupied his time by writing up these notes, which were read to him. He then dictated the text to a scribe. An operation for cataracts restored his sight in 1352, but he never managed to revise his text. It consists of a full chronicle up to 1348, and then annals after that. He is a spirited writer, and his comments on fashion (with illuminations) are often quoted; he also has a remarkable passage on how it is impossible for anyone to know what is going on in a battle (apropos of the battle of Cr cy), let alone for a historian to produced an accurate account afterwards. He uses some written records, and writes at first hand of the siege of Tournai in 1340. Much of his information comes from the distinguished guests who visited his abbey, but he is very wary about what he hears. 'What they say is partly false, partly true... if I write down things about which I may not be certain, my whole work will be in disrepute'. He is a largely realistic counterweight to the narratives of chivalrous exploits in Jean le Bel and Froissart, who cover the same place and period. And his voice speaks not for the nobility, for whom war represented glory and profit, but for the defenceless and weak who were the main sufferers.
