Opis

A reconsideration of aristocratic violence and the rise of the royalist French state from the Albigensian Crusade to Agincourt.

Recenzje

'This book offers a new narrative of the French kings' increasing monopoly over land and power in the Middle Ages, where royal power over Languedoc expanded most often in cooperation, not tension, with local elites.' Susan McDonough, American Historical Review
