History of the Dukes of Normandy and the Kings of England by the Anonymous of Béthune

Ever since its publication by Francisque Michel for the Société de l’Histoire de France in 1840, the Old French prose history of the dukes of Normandy translated here has been recognized as an important source for the history of Normandy, England, Flanders, and Capetian France. Its unnamed author is customarily referred to as the ‘Anonymous of Béthune’ because of the prominence in the narrative of the lords of Béthune (dépt. Pas-de-Calais), who were ‘advocates’ (lay protectors) of Arras but also major landowners in England between the eleventh and mid-thirteenth centuries. The same writer is believed to have been the author of a vernacular prose history of the kings of France, usually called the Chronique des Rois de France, which was partly published by Léopold Delisle in 1904. The two Béthune texts reworked and continued two French texts from the beginning of the thirteenth century, known, respectively, as the Chronique de Normandie and the Geste de France, which in turn drew upon and embellished older Latin texts—respectively, in the traditions of Norman and pro-Capetian historical writing. Despite their wealth of original detail, historians have been hesitant to use the two Béthune histories as historical sources. In part, this is due to their genre: vernacular texts, whether in prose or verse, have often been treated with suspicion by medieval historians trained in the use of Latin chronicles, and the relationship between the many vernacular histories from this period is also problematic. Yet there can be no doubt that the lack of either a modern critical edition or an English translation of the Anonymous Norman history has also hindered its use, and so the present work, published in Routledge’s Crusade Texts in Translation series, is very welcome indeed. The translation, using the 1840 edition, was drafted by the distinguished translator Janet Shirley, who died in 2017, but it is Paul Webster who has prepared it for publication, with extensive historical notes and a scholarly introduction.

The Haskins Society Journal 31 ed. by Laura L. Gathagan, William North and Charles C. Rozier

Reviewed by: The Haskins Society Journal 31 ed. by Laura L. Gathagan, William North and Charles C. Rozier Lindsay Diggelmann Gathagan, Laura L., William North, and Charles C. Rozier, eds, The Haskins Society Journal 31 (Studies in Medieval History), Woodbridge, The Boydell Press, 2020; hardback; pp. 233; 6 b/w, 3 line illustrations; R.R.P. £50.00; ISBN 9781783275731. Volume 31 of The Haskins Society Journal presents essays from the organization’s 2018 conference, along with other contributions in related fields. The Journal honours the American scholar Charles Homer Haskins and is dedicated to those aspects of the history of the central Middle Ages in which he was prominent. Its ambit is somewhat wider than that of the comparable series Anglo-Norman Studies (see my review of the latest volume elsewhere in this issue of Parergon) but nonetheless takes Norman affairs as its central focus, in line with Haskins’s own interests. Four essays deal with the Crusades. Alheydis Plassmann revisits the much-debated question of Normannitas (Norman identity). By comparing the careers of the most prominent Norman First Crusade leaders from the north (Robert Curthose) and the south (Bohemond of Taranto) Plassmann proposes that contemporaries saw very little that was specifically ‘Norman’ in their character or achievements. While useful, this conclusion does not stray too far from the view of those such as John France who have written on the topic previously. Katherine Allen Smith observes how early crusade narratives are ‘replete with references to Babylon’ (p. 50) in opposition to Jerusalem. This, in Smith’s persuasive view, is a shorthand for a series of powerful dichotomies: Islam and Christianity; pride and humility; sin and righteousness; Augustine’s earthly and heavenly cities. Clerical authors who had been trained in scripture and theology brought this mindset to bear when describing the geopolitical rivalries of their own day. Andrew Buck’s study of women and power in the crusader principality of Antioch draws on recent debates that seek to remove the framework of exceptionalism from accounts of women’s political influence and economic agency in the Middle Ages. Examining both the ruling families and the wider nobility, Buck asserts that ‘the exercise of rulership in the principality was not simply a masculine space’ (p. 117). Theodore Evergates reflects on the creation and reception of the Memoirs of Geoffroy de Villehardouin, marshal of Champagne and later of ‘Romania’, a key figure in the Latin Empire of Constantinople after 1204. The Memoirs provide one of the standard accounts of the Fourth Crusade and the sack of the eastern Christian capital by western forces. Other contributions delve into Anglo-Norman dynastic affairs and their historiography. Alexandra Locking reminds us that the celebrated marriage of Henry I and Matilda of Scotland, so crucial to uniting the Norman and Saxon royal lines, nearly did not happen. Archbishop Anselm initially objected to the match, as Matilda had taken the veil as a child, before relenting. Locking examines the contemporary debate over this controversy and the way Matilda’s reputation was later transformed to position her as a powerful royal figure. Mark Blincoe traces the shifting dynastic identity in Henry II’s charters before and [End Page 238] after he became king in 1154. Having been recognized as Stephen’s heir in 1153, Henry acknowledged this at first, but soon ignored the reality of Stephen as his predecessor in official documents, emphasizing instead continuity with the reign of his grandfather Henry I, who had died in 1135. This much is well known, but Blincoe makes the cogent point that the strategy forced Henry to implicitly deny the legitimacy of earlier claims to power in England or Normandy by his mother, the Empress Matilda, and father, Geoffrey of Anjou. On the basis of the vernacular history known as the Chronique de Normandie, Alex Hurlow argues for the continued importance of Norman identity into the thirteenth century, even if more regional in nature and in competition with the growing power of the centralizing French monarchy. Three further essays discuss social and legal issues ‘from below’. Stuart Pracy examines evidence from witness lists for manumissions in late Saxon and early Norman England to suggest that opportunities for social mobility by...

L’histoire des rois de France dans la “Fleur des histoires” de Jean Mansel. Archéologie d’une compilation bourguignonne du xve siècle

It has generally been assumed that Burgundian compiler Jean Mansel borrowed the history of the kings of France included in his Fleur des histoires from the Grandes Chroniques de France, the most widely circulated French historiographical work at the time. The present paper challenges this assumption, focusing the attention on a particular segment of Mansel’s Fleur in its short redaction. Extant in five manuscripts, this section covers the history of the French kings from Charlemagne to Charles VI. A comparison of Mansel’s text with that of the Chronique de France jusque 1380 discloses the striking similarities of the two works in their recounting of the history of the kings of France. It appears that both authors are not dependent on the Grande Chroniques as much as they are indebted to an already reworked and rewritten redaction of this work. Indeed, Jean Mansel and the author of the Chronique jusque 1380 provide a history of the French sovereigns which comes from the Abrégé Paulin Paris. Lexical and stylistic resemblance between Mansel’s Fleur and the Chronique jusque 1380 indicates both authors mined an intermediate, unidentified text based on the Abrégé; chronology in the composition of the two works and divergent choices in the selection of episodes recounted assure that the authors worked independently from one another.

Semiosis of intercultural cooking: The nineteenth century travel literature as a case study

AbstractMy interest in culinary dates back to approximately fifteen years ago when I collaborated with [Béatrice Fink 1999. The cultural topography of food. Special issue, Eighteenth century life 23(2)] on a special issue of Eighteenth Century Life on food topography. I proposed then a study on the reactions of an English physician to Moroccan food, mainly couscous and tea. I continued working on other studies, and I realized how much a semiotics of food could serve the history of mentalities and private lives. While doing my research, I discovered the works of Jean Louis Flandrin 1986. La distinction par le goût. In Roger Chartier (ed.), Histoire de la vie privée de la Renaissance aux Lumières, vol. 3, 267–309. Paris: Seuil and Flandrin 1992. Chronique de Platine: Pour une gastronomie historique. Paris: Odile Jacob), who had contributed to the same volume directed by Fink and also represented a great inspiration for me. I felt that I was concerned with the study of the relation with the Other, with culture shock or encounter through travelers’ reactions to the food or the culinary, the prepared dish, and the consumed product in ceremonies or in private occasions. While thinking about these points, I asked myself the following questions: in which way does the reaction to food reveal the attitude of the traveler, his prejudices on the culture, the society, the food or the dish in question? In which way would reaction to food reveal his culture? This article explores these and other related issues.

In this issue ofWeather

Weather was first published seventy years ago this month, the Royal Meteorological Society and its members clear that, in the year following the Second World War, there was a new era in the provision of – and interest in – weather services to customers. The Society and the Editorial Board of this journal wish it a very happy birthday! In our first paper (on p. 108), Dennis Wheeler focuses on the extreme disturbance of the weather in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1816, part of a cool year across the globe that was the result of the eruption of Mt Tambora in Indonesia the previous year. It may come as a surprise to some that the injection of aerosols and ash into the tropical atmosphere, halfway across the world could have a significant effect in North East England, but the signal for this teleconnection was particularly evident 200 years ago, when it was said that it was a ‘year without a summer’. On p. 118, we move on to the ‘Analysis of rainfall events over peninsular Malaysia’ by Ren Jie Chin and his co-authors. Around the world, it is increasingly evident that we need to know the likely maximum rainfall in a day or number of days, in order to be prepared for its effects on the population and infrastructure. This paper presents the results of a study over more than 40 years using a newly developed ‘event mining tool’. Finally, we move on to a report of a ‘Violent thunderstorm in Toulouse – 13 June 1854’ on p. 123, translated from an article in French in the Chronique de Jersey by Frank Le Blancq, who also comments on the serious effects of the event. News of loss of life and damage due to the weather would only have been available from the newspapers 162 years ago and reports such as this were a spur in the development of meteorological services, many of which were founded around this time.

The French chroniques de langage between prescriptivism, normative discourse and anti-prescriptivism

ABSTRACTFrance has a long tradition of linguistic prescriptivism, linked to a casuistic metalinguistic literature going back to Vaugelas, Gilles Ménage, and others. This type of normative discourse has survived into the twenty-first century, but is affected by changes in the media. Since the emergence of mass media in the late nineteenth century, national newspapers have contained a popular genre, the chronique de langage, language chronicles, written mainly by people from the literary world, philologists and – in some cases – linguists. Until the 1970s these chroniques were among the most popular articles in the French press. Authors like Abel Hermant, Marcel Cohen, Jacques Cellard and Claude Duneton have since the 1970s shaped the public linguistic conscience, responding to an obvious public need for normative orientation. Although there is a certain decline of this genre to be observed, metalinguistic discussion continues to play an important role in popular French media. The attitudes towards prescriptivism merit reflection. Have there been changes in normative attitudes during the last decades? Do these chroniques serve as prescriptive language usage guides, or should they, on the contrary, rather be seen as popularized non-normative linguistics? This study focuses on some of the most popular twentieth-century chroniques.

The Memoirs of Jin Luxian, Vol. 1: Learning and Relearning 1916–1982 (review)

Far Eastern The Memoirs of Jin Luxian,Vol. 1: Learning and Relearning 1916-1982. Translated by William Hanbury-Tenison. Introduced by Anthony E. Clark. (Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press. 2012. Distrib. Columbia University Press. Pp. xxii, 296. $28.00 paperback. ISBN 978-988-8139-67-5.)Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian (1916-2013) is one of the most significant fig- ures in the history of the Roman Catholic Church in the People's Republic of China. Yet his role in the struggles and the revival of the Church in China remains controversial. Abroad as well as in his home country, he has received both strong criticism and praise. This first volume is in part an Apologia pro Vita Sua by which Jin hopes to dispel accusations mischievously included (p. 3) against him, thereby ceasing to be a sign of contention and turning instead into a beacon of hope and reconciliation for the Chinese Catholic Church.The book is divided into five parts, each composed of several chapters that deal with the following subjects: Jin's youth and his family in the Shanghai area; his life as a seminarian and a young Jesuit from 1932 to 1947; his studies between 1947 and 1950; his ministry in Shanghai until his arrest in 1955; and finally the twenty-seven years spent in prisons and re-education camps until his return to the Diocese of Shanghai in 1982. This chronological order is sprinkled with many flashbacks and flashforwards as Jin ponders events and persons that influenced the course of his life.Apart from his three-year study abroad, Jin's life was filled with hurtful experiences. Orphaned at a very young age and ignored by most of his rela- tives, he persevered in his calling to the priesthood. Subsequently, his obedi- ence to his Jesuit superiors placed him several times in harm's way. The most painful blow came during his detention when he learned that his Jesuit con- freres had vilified him and branded him a traitor. Yet in the face of all these adversities, his love for the Jesuit Order remained steadfast.The last two sections of the book about his return to Shanghai in 1950 and his years in detention are certainly the most important and revealing. They shed a complementary and sometime different light on accounts written by two other Jesuits: Jean Lefeuvre's eyewitness account, Les enfants dans la ville, chronique de la vie chretienne a Shanghai 1949-1955 (Paris, 1956), and Paul Mariani's academic study, Church Militant: Bishop Kung and Catholic Resistance in Communist Shanghai (Cambridge, MA, 2011; reviewed ante, 98 [2012], 621-22). …

L’effet d’apprentissage au cours de la répétition d’un équilibre assis instable sur balancelle chez des adolescents présentant une scoliose idiopathique

La douleur chronique peut engendrer chez l’enfant un handicap majeur. Pour prendre en compte toutes les dimensions de son modèle bio-psychosocial, le concept d’un traitement multidisciplinaire semble optimal. De tels programmes existent à l’étranger où des études ont montré leur efficacité. Nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective dans un centre de rééducation fonctionnelle (CRF) français pour décrire la prise en charge multidisciplinaire qui y était réalisée et ses résultats.Il s’agit d’une analyse rétrospective des dossiers des patients consécutivement hospitalisés pour des douleurs chroniques inexpliquées, majoritairement musculo-squelettetiques, à partir de 2010. Le critère principal composite était la douleur et son retentissement fonctionnel et scolaire.Vingt-neuf patients de 9,4 à 17,8 ans avaient été hospitalisés pour douleur chronique entre 2010 et août 2014, dont 65,5 % en hospitalisation de semaine et 34,5 % en hospitalisation de jour, pour des durées de 1 à 68 semaines. La prise en charge avait associé un suivi médical, une kinésithérapie, une ergothérapie, une prise en charge psychologique, une pharmacothérapie et la scolarité. La douleur avait été améliorée de manière significative chez 89,7 % des patients (IC95 % [0,73–0,98]). Il n’y avait pas de différence significative selon que les enfants avaient été pris en charge en hospitalisation de jour ou de semaine.Le traitement multidisciplinaire de la douleur chronique de l’enfant dans ce CRF français a eu une efficacité comparable à celle des programmes décrits dans les études étrangères. Cette prise en charge gagne à être encadrée par des évaluations standardisées comme des échelles de mesure du retentissement de la douleur.Chronic pain in children and adolescents has a major impact on their life in terms of school, sleep as well as family and social life. Teenagers aged 13–15 and girls are at the highest risk. Zeltzer et al. established a bio-psychosocial model of chronic pain in 1998 to account for all its dimensions and advocated a multidisciplinary management plan. Programs based on their principles target specific symptoms such as anxiety and loss of function, while treating underlying factors and teaching coping skills to patients and their families. They aim for patients to regain autonomy rather than focusing on pain resolution. Such programs, with varied protocols, have existed outside of France for approximately 15 years. The efficacy of these multidisciplinary programs has been shown in studies in Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. To our knowledge, there are no French studies on this topic; therefore, our aim was to describe a French program. We hypothesized that the program would be effective in reducing chronic pain and its impact.The aim of this study was to describe the multidisciplinary management of chronic pain in a French pediatric functional rehabilitation center. It is a public health establishment located in the suburbs of Lille, offering care for children aged 0–18 with various conditions. It has 52 hospital beds, can accommodate up to 22 day-hospital visits per day and has comprehensive technical facilities. This prospective study consisted in a chart review of all consecutive patients who were hospitalized in the functional rehabilitation center for chronic pain with significant disability since 2010. We reviewed the treatment protocol for each patient as well as the treatment results for the composite primary endpoint, comprising pain characteristics and the impact of pain on function and schooling after discharge.Twenty-nine patients, aged 9.4–17.8 years, 62.1% of whom were girls, were hospitalized for chronic pain with a significant impact on their daily life between 2010 and August 2014. The most common diagnosis was complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) (37.9%). Pain had major consequences, with total disability in 69% of cases and 100% of children taking pain medications. In 65.5% of cases, patients were hospitalized in an inpatient setting, and 34.5% attended an outpatient program. Treatment lasted from 1 to 68 weeks (mean, 24.3; standard deviation [SD], 21.6). Patients received a combination of medical care, physical therapy (100%), occupational therapy (37.9%), psychological counseling (100%), pain medications (96.6%), and schooling (96.6%). Pain improved significantly in 89.7% of patients (95% confidence interval [95% CI] [0.73–0.98]) and pain medication consumption decreased significantly in 72.4% of children (95% CI [0.53–0.87]). Patients who had stopped walking could ambulate again in 91.7% of cases (95% CI [0.73–0.99]) and 86.4% of patients who had been missing school were back at school full time (95% CI [0.65–0.97]). There were no significant differences for these results between inpatient and outpatient management programs. Improvements were maintained at 3–6 months after discharge in 83.3% of cases.The multidisciplinary pain management program in this French pediatric functional rehabilitation center shows results comparable to the programs described in other countries. Chronic pain should be evaluated with standardized and validated tools, such as the measurement of the pain-related disability with the Functional Disability Index.

Ruses, finesses, bons tours

The Cent nouvelles nouvelles of Philippe de Vigneulles represent a narrative world in which crimes and misdemeanors play an important structuring role. The question as to whether these fictional actions correspond to actual legal transgressions in the real world of Metz in the XVIth century cannot be answered simply and unequivocally. Because of the conventions of “carnivalesque” literature according to which Vigneulles wrote his tales, actions that would normally be defined as crimes are tolerated and at times even valorized in the comical situations that he creates. Compared to the violent and punitive legal situation evoked in La Chronique de Philippe de Vigneulles and his Gedenkbuch or Journal, the idea of legality presented in his collection of tales is quite flexible, in accord with the conventions of narrative traditions that preceded Philippe’s work, including genres as varied as the exemplum, the fabliau, and earlier tale collections. Nevertheless, from numerous claims made in the work itself, it seems ironically as though many of these tales were in fact based on actual events that Philippe witnessed in his native city, or on stories that he heard from his contemporaries. The hybridity of this particular version of the Renaissance nouvelle hence combines testimonial accounts with fictive versions of real events, producing an ambivalent world that complicates the task of reading and interpreting these stories.

« Maistre Jenin le recouvreur pendus » ou comment chanter en allant vers le gibet

This paper explores the way in which justice, crime and execution are described in Philippe de Vigneulles’ Chronique de Metz. Focusing on a fait divers about Master Jenin, a roofer, who was condemned and hung for stealing chalices, I argue that this specific story does more than list the events from 1437 that led to his death. It provides rather a strong narrative crafted specifically to hold our attention, a “marvellous” story that takes its lead from a vibrant literary and musical tradition. This paper also discusses the way in which Jenin’s song provides a key to understanding the entire story.

“It takes a village … ” : Transgressing Rural Geographies in Sinapi's Camping à la ferme

Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes Notes 1 Sully reportedly claimed: “Labourage et paturage sont les mamelles de la France.” Pétain's June 25, 1940 radio address states: “La terre, elle, ne ment pas … Elle est la patrie elle-même. Un champ qui tombe en friche, c’est une portion de France qui meurt. Une jachère à nouveau emblavée, c’est une portion de France qui renaît.” See Barbas 66. 2 For a comparative study of citizenship and a history of jus soli, see Brubaker. 3 For the impact of Yves Robert's films on audience figures, see Powrie, French Cinema in the 1990s, 3. For an analysis of Claude Berri's films as “nostalgia for rural communities,” see Powrie, French Cinema in the 1980s, 50–61. 4 Even TF1's TV reality show “La Ferme des célébrités” presented rural France as a tough, wild place for city-dwellers to survive. 5 Other critically acclaimed documentaries addressing this malaise include: Depardon's Profils Paysans (2000, 2004), La vie moderne (2008), and Meunier's La vie comme elle va (2004), followed by Ici Najac, à vous la terre (2006). 6 Their portrayal of men and farmers, in particular, signals a crisis in the patriarchal order traditionally associated with the land in France. Philibert evokes a dying father and Meunier interviews an inconsolable widower. Depardon's aging farmers can’t find wives and die single and childless. Such documentaries present French audiences with a disappearing breed inhabiting increasingly deserted rural areas. 7 In his television address in November of 2005, President Chirac said : “C’est une crise de sens, une crise de repères, c’est une crise d’identité.” See Chirac. 8 Director Jean-Pierre Sinapi focused on various minorities in his previous films Vivre me tue (2003) and Nationale 7 (2000). 9 For his personal discussion of his experience within the Villepin government and acrimonious relationship with then Minister Sarkozy, see Begag's Un mouton dans la baignoire. The title itself alludes to Sarkozy's words about the killing of a sheep for the Muslim celebration of Aïd-el-Kebir. 10 The TIG (Travail d’Intérêt Général) was instituted in the mid 1980s and aimed at substituting community work for a jail sentence and at involving the community at large in the social rehabilitation of the delinquent. Only public organizations can offer TIG and the benefits are meant to be mutual (for the community and for the individual). Concrete examples of TIG include maintaining and keeping up public spaces (lawns, beaches) and fixing up “national” buildings (“patrimoine”). For a fuller description, see Ministère de la Justice. 11 The term was actually used by Begag in an interview with Marc Cheb Sun and Hélène Ganzman: “Et bien oui, il faut traverser le périphérique, aller chez les indigènes là-bas, les descendants de Vercingétorix … C’est risqué, parce qu’on s’en prend plein la gueule, surtout lorsqu’on est basané …” See Begag “La diversité, c’est mon pays !” 12 On RTL's “Chronique de Denis Girolami,” Girolami comments, “du fermier poivrot à la mairesse opportuniste en passant par l’agriculteur facho sans oublier la bouchère nymphomane.” 13 The Politique Agricole Commune was criticized for encouraging farmers not to plant for fear of losing subsidies. 14 To describe the same idea of a mobile frontier, but in a different context (Duvivier's Maria Chapdelaine about French settlers in Canada), Winifred Woodhull contrasts the pioneering défricheurs who “push back the frontiers of the wilderness” with the sedentary settlers. See Woodhull's “France in the Wilderness” in Stovall 61. 15 See “Dossier Presse Camping” 7.

Les maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l’intestin : quels autoanticorps choisir ?

Summary The diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) based on a cluster of clinical and biological arguments includes two steps. First, IBD have to be distinguished from other digestive diseases, and then, it is important to separate among the major forms of IBD: Crohn's disease (CD) from ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of this study was to compare different autoantibodies (Ab) in an unselected population of 38 undeterminated colitis diagnosis including CD patients ( N = 10) and UC patients ( N = 13) for whom the diagnosis was established a posteriori. According to our results, antilactoferrin (LF) Abs exist in 56.5% of the maladie inflammatoire chronique de l’intestin (MICI) but the specificity of such a test is moderate (66.7%). When IBD is established, anti- Saccharomyce cerevisiae Abs, on one hand, and anti-perinuclear neutrophil cytoplasmic Abs (p-ANCA), on the other hand, allowed to discriminate between CD and UC, respectively, but sensibility for both tests are moderate (≤30%). On the whole, anti-LF, ASCA and p-ANCA may help to make earlier diagnosis of CD or UC.

L'archétype et le stemma des annales angevines et vendômoises

The manuscript Cotton Otho B III in the British Library, London, is a composite manuscript of which only a few fragments survived the fire in the Cotton Library in 1731. Thanks to Thomas Smith's description of the manuscript in the catalogue of 1696, the studies of Louis Halphen, as well as other evidence, it is now possible to identify the Recueil initial de Saint-Maurice d'Angers among the works once united in this historical compilation. The Recueil, which has two parts, is the archetype for several Angevin and Vendômois annals drawn up between the end of the eleventh century and the first half of the thirteenth. A partial reconstruction of the original text can now be envisaged using the Annales de Vendôme, the Annales dites de Renaud, the Annales de Saint-Aubin d'Angers, the Annales de Saint-Florent de Saumur, the Chronique de Saint-Maixent and the Obituaire de Saint- Serge d'Angers.

Balzac, una visión crítica y contemporánea del periodismo

Prolific writer and habitual collaborator of the French press of the first half of the XIXth century, Honore de Balzac was the director and owner of the magazines Le Chronique de Paris and La Revue Parisienne. This article analyzes Balzac’s conception of journalism and his opinion about the role of the journalist of his time through his work as the director of magazines, and two of his works: the novel Lost Illusions, mainly the second part, and his essay Les journalistes: Monographie de la presse parisienne.

Comment ont été continuées les Grandes Chroniques de France dans la première moitié du XIVe siècle

In the first third of the 14th century, several attempts were made to extend the " Roman des rois ", i.e. the original nucleus of the Grandes Chroniques de France, compiled at Saint-Denis by the monk Primat, beyond 1223. The preferred solution was to use the Chronique française abrégée des rois de France by Guillaume de Nangis, enlarged and continued at Saint-Denis after his death. In the 1350s, Richard Lescot chose a somewhat different option : he reverted to the Vitae of Louis IX and Philip III, and next devised a compilation based on the Chronique française abrégée and the Chronicon of Guillaume de Nangis together with its two Latin continuations. From 1322, the second continuation, being the main source for the period, was supplemented with the chronicle of Géraud de Frachet and the Chronique de Flandre. After 1340, although he kept using the continuation of Géraud de Frachet's chronicle up to the point where the original breaks off in 1344, the compiler ceased to use the Chronique de Flandre. Instead, up to 1347, he made conspicuous use of the continuation of Guillaume de Nangis's Chronique française abrégée. All known copies of that text extend into the early 1380s, and thus belong to a later period than the " Richard Lescot version " of the Grandes Chroniques de France. But it can be proved that an intermediate version once existed, one that ended shortly before the surrender of Calais in 1347. By taking into account these two sources, of which one was incorrectly identified (the Chronique de Flandre) and one hitherto unknown (the continuation of the Chronique française abrégée), it is possible to shed new light upon the methods of the author responsible for the reign of Philip VI in the Grandes Chroniques. des rois de France by Guillaume de Nangis, enlarged and continued at Saint-Denis after his death.

All known copies of that text extend into the early 1380s, and thus belong to a later period than the " Richard Lescot version " of the Grandes Chroniques de France. But it can be proved that an intermediate version once existed, one that ended shortly before the surrender of Calais in 1347. By taking into account these two sources, of which one was incorrectly identified (the Chronique de Flandre) and one hitherto unknown (the continuation of the Chronique française abrégée), it is possible to shed new light upon the methods of the author responsible for the reign of Philip VI in the Grandes Chroniques.
