‎Summary The Crown and the Cross examines the heretofore-unstudied role of the French province of Burgundy in the 'traditional' era of the crusades, from 1095-c.1220. Covering the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Albigensian Crusades in detail, it focuses primarily on the Capetian dukes, a cadet branch of the French royal family, but uncovers substantial lay participation and some crusading traditions among Burgundian noble families as well. The book additionally uses the crusading institution to explore the development of the medieval French monarchy, and makes accessible a corpus of scholarship and documents that until now have mostly existed in French or Latin. It concludes that while piety and religion did play a central role in the experience of many everyday Burgundian crusaders, the greater political ramifications of the crusading project functioned in subtle and long-lasting ways, and had consequences for the entire institution, not just Burgundy or France. Of interest to scholars of the crusades, French history, and the formation of medieval Europe, The Crown and the Cross nuances, challenges, and expands our understanding of the intellectual genealogy of the crusades and their real-world consequences, fills a critical gap in the historiography, and poses a set of important conclusions and questions for continued study.

‎Summary Mary of Burgundy (r. 1477-1482) occupies an important place in the history of late medieval and early modern Europe, yet her life and principate have received relatively little scholarly attention. They are, however, key to the history both of the Low Countries and of Europe, since her marriage to Maximilian of Austria united the Habsburgs with the Valois-Burgundy dynasty, giving them vast territories on the borders of France. In this book, some of the best specialists in the field contribute to a better understanding of Mary's principate, its features, and its long-term perception. In the first part, the authors address the issue of Mary's contested legitimacy as a late medieval female ruler: law, literature, visual arts and theatrical representations are examined as means of communication, strengthening or weakening her authority. In the second part, the authors examine some of Mary's governmental tools and the agents behind them. Finally, the last part questions the ways in which Mary's power and her principate have been represented and reinterpreted in subsequent eras, often with political or social intent, beginning with Maximilian's long regency and reign immediately after her death, right up to modern-day Belgium. Marie, duchesse de Bourgogne (r. 1477-1482), occupe une place essentielle entre Moyen ge et premi re Modernit dans l'histoire des Anciens Pays-Bas et d'Europe. Alors que son mariage avec Maximilien d'Autriche unit la dynastie des Valois-Bourgogne celle des Habsbourg, laquelle s' tablit alors durablement aux fronti res de la France, la vie et le bref principat de Marie restent peu tudi s. Visant comprendre cette p riode de transition et ses ressorts, tant l' poque que dans le temps long, ainsi qu' tablir un bilan et lancer de nouvelles pistes de recherche, cet ouvrage r unit plusieurs des meilleurs sp cialistes actuels autour de trois questions essentielles. Dans un premier temps, la l gitimit contest e de ce pouvoir f minin est abord e sous diff rents angles : le droit, la litt rature, les arts visuels et les spectacles publics qui sont tudi s en tant que moyens de communications renfor ant ou affaiblissant l'autorit de la duchesse. Ensuite sont mis en lumi re les agents et les outils gouvernementaux au service de ce pouvoir. Enfin, les contributeurs s'interrogent sur la mani re dont ce pouvoir et ce principat furent (re)lus et repr sent s aux poques ult rieures en fonction d'agendas politiques volutifs, du long r gne de Maximilien de Habsbourg la Belgique contemporaine.

‎Cent Nouvelles nouvelles (Burgundy-Luxembourg-France, 1458 - c. 1550). Text and Paratext, Codex and Context‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 309 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:21 b/w, 17 col., 4 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503585994.‎

‎Summary A collaborative investigation of one of the best-known works of late medieval European literature, the Franco-Burgundian collection of short stories known as the Cent Nouvelles nouvelles. Modelled loosely on Boccaccio's Decameron and incorporating elements from Old French fabliaux as well as Poggio Bracciolini's Liber Facetiarum, the anonymous collection attributes its morally challenging and frequently humorous tales to named narrators including Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy and Louis of Luxembourg, Count of Saint Pol. The contribution of this new volume of essays is threefold: - empirical, in that it brings entirely new interdisciplinary insights into the study of the genesis and reception of the work; - methodological, in that it integrates study of the text within a 360-degree evaluation of the work's manuscript and early printed context; and - conceptual, in that it seeks to understand the social dimensions of textual production and consumption. These approaches unite ten principal contributions by specialists in the fields of art history, book history, court history and linguistics from France, the Netherlands, the USA and the UK.

‎Illuminated Crusader Histories for Philip the Good of Burgundy,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, 312 p., 38 b/w ill. + 38 colour ill., 190 x 250 mm. ISBN 9782503518046.‎

‎Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy from 1419 to 1467, distinguished himself as a patron of illuminated histories and historical romances, and as host of the most lavish entertainment of the middle ages. The Banquet of the Pheasant was a response to the Fall of Constantinople, and it was staged to enlist support for the coming crusade. Two splendid tributes to heroic crusaders from the duke's family tree, commissioned in the 1450s, provide an opportunity to bring these elements of his reputation - bibliophile and would-be crusader--under the same lens. Our perception of the Charlemagne Chronicle in Brussels (BR, MS 9066-68) and the Jerusalem Chronicle in Vienna (ONB, Cod. 2533) is enhanced when we consider other examples of "crusade literature" and remember the perennial goal of recovering Jerusalem. This study of the visual and literary projects that supported Philip's efforts to launch a crusade, long after the days of the "classic" crusades, sets these manuscripts in the context of his court's interest in history writing and updated historical romances, and against the background of the French crusading tradition and the Burgundian incarnation that succeeded it.
