Popular views of medieval chivalry—knights in shining armor, fair ladies, banners fluttering from battlements—were inherited from the nineteenth-century Romantics. This is the first book to explore chivalry’s place within a wider history of medieval England, from the Norman Conquest to the aftermath of Henry VII’s triumph at Bosworth in the Wars of the Roses.Saul invites us to view the world of castles and cathedrals, tournaments and round tables, with fresh eyes. Chivalry in Medieval England charts the introduction of chivalry by the Normans, the rise of the knightly class as a social elite, the fusion of chivalry with kingship in the fourteenth century, and the influence of chivalry on literature, religion, and architecture. Richard the Lionheart and the Crusades, the Black Death and the Battle of Crecy, the Magna Carta and the cult of King Arthur—all emerge from the mists of time and legend in this vivid, authoritative account.

This study of the Catholic Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg and its largely Protestant aristocracy demonstrates that shared family ties and traditional privilege could reduce religious based conflict. These findings raise fundamental questions about current interpretations of the Reformation era. Prince-bishops regularly appointed Lutheran nobles to administrative positions, and those Lutheran appointees served their Catholic overlords ably and loyally. Bamberg was a center for social interaction, business transactions, and career opportunities for aristocrats. As these nobles saw it, birthright and kinship ties made them suitable for service in the prince-bishopric. Catholic leaders concurred, confessional differences notwithstanding. This study tells the complicated story of how Lutheran nobles and their Catholic relatives struggled to maintain solidarity and cooperation during an era of religious strife and animosity

Founded to support Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land and most famous for their support for crusading, the Military Religious Orders' activities and interests stretched far beyond the frontiers of Christendom. Representing some of the most recent advances in research, in this volume eleven scholars from Europe and North America explore important and hitherto under-researched aspects of the Orders' history, scrutinizing their relations with the papacy, their organisational structure, their devotional practices, their fortresses and their presence in the localities of Western Europe.

Roman historique, biographie romancée ou chronique médiévale ? Le lecteur tranchera ! En tout cas, Guy Weyn nous relate présentement la vie tumultueuse d'un chevalier wallon du XIIe siècle avec le sérieux de l'historien et le brio du narrateur. Les XIe, XIIe et XIIIe siècles ont vu s'illustrer, en notre terre wallonne, des chevaliers aussi braves qu'aventureux : Godefroid de Bouillon, Gilles de Trazegnies et tant d'autres qui mériteraient assurément de sortir de l'oubli.Godefroid de Thuin fut l'un d'eux. Il appartenait à la famille riche et influente des châtelains de Thuin, vassaux des princes évêques de Liège. Cadet de famille, il accompagnait souvent Gérard, son frère aîné, à Liège, afin d'y accomplir les obligations féodales. Thuin formait en effet le chef-lieu du quartier sud, dit d'Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse, de la principauté de Liège. Héritier à la mort de sa mère, Clémence de Marbais, de la seigneurie de Courcelles en Hainaut, Godefroid fréquenta, dès lors, assidûment la cour montoise du comte Baudouin V.Devenu également vassal des comtes de Namur grâce à l'acquisition de terres dans le comté, il fut convoqué au château de Namur en 1198. Brabançon par sa mère, Liégeois par son père, Hennuyer par héritage et Namurois par ses acquisitions, Godefroid de Thuin fut l'exemple type du seigneur wallon intrépide et fier. Au XIIe siècle, les moeurs et les conditions d'existence sont rudes. Homme de son temps, Godefroid passa une notable partie de sa vie en confrontations acharnées avec le Chapitre de Fosses et le monastère de Bonne-Espérance, dont il convoitait les revenus à Courcelles, ce qui lui valut à deux reprises l'excommunication.Féru de gloire, il n'hésita pas à participer à la troisième croisade dans le contingent principautaire qui accompagnait le Prince-Evêque de Liège et l'Empereur de Germanie, Frédéric Barberousse. Enfin, il fut témoin de tous les évènements notables de son siècle : le tournoi de Trazegnies, le siège de Mons, l'incendie de Liège ou la croisade. Il mourut dans les premières années du XIIIe siècle.
