Les Voeux Du Paon
''Vows of the Peacock'' () is a poem composed by Jacques de Longuyon between 1312 and 1313 for the Bishop of Liège, Theobald (bishop of Liège), Thiébaut de Bar. The poem describes courtly activities and amusements during truces in a battle. Alternating between intense battle sequences and an idealised court setting, the poem emphasises notions of chivalry and valiance. The narrative culminates in a banquet where the gathered knights and ladies take turns swearing on an elaborately prepared peacock. ''Voeux'' was created as a later self-contained addition to the Roman d'Alexandre and achieved significant contemporary success. Through numerous illuminated manuscripts, and then later printed books, the story became well known. Longuyon’s grouping of Nine Worthies, the 'Nine Worthies’ in this text became a defining topos of the late Middle Ages. Date In the final laisse of the ''Vows'', the poet identifies himself and his patron. This laisse, however, is found in only one manusc ...

Jacques De Longuyon
Jacques de Longuyon (Old French ''Jaques de Langhion'' or ''Longuion'') was the author of the ''Vows of the Peacock'', a chanson de geste written for Theobald (bishop of Liège), Thibaut de Bar, bishop of Liège, about 1310.Antoine Thomas (linguist), Antoine Thomas"Jacques de Longuyon, trouvère" ''Histoire littéraire de France'' (Paris, 1927 ), vol. 26, pp. 1–35. It was one of the most popular romances of the 14th century and introduces the concept of the Nine Worthies. What is known of Jacques's origins comes from his own words in the final ''laisse'' of the ''Vows''. He states that he was from Lorraine, although his name indicates the village of Longuyon, which was technically part of the Barrois mouvant. The final ''laisse'' was added to an already completed poem, since it deplores the death of Bishop Thibaut on 29 May 1312 and of Emperor Henry VII on 24 August 1313, by which time the poem was already in circulation. Jacques is praised as the poet of the ''Vows'' in the ''P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marginalia
Marginalia (or apostils) are marks made in the margin (typography), margins of a book or other document. They may be scribbles, comments, gloss (annotation), glosses (annotations), critiques, doodles, drolleries, or illuminated manuscript, illuminations. Biblical manuscripts Biblical manuscripts have notes in the margin, for liturgical use. Numbers of texts' divisions are given at the margin (, Ammonian Sections, Eusebian Canons). There are some scholia, corrections and other notes usually made later by hand in the margin. Marginalia may also be of relevance because many ancient or medieval writers of marginalia may have had access to other relevant texts that, although they may have been widely copied at the time, have since then been lost due to wars, prosecution, or censorship. As such, they might give clues to an earlier, more widely known context of the extant form of the underlying text than is currently appreciated. For this reason, scholars of ancient texts usually t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jean De Le Mote
Jean de Le Mote ( 1326–1350) was an Old French poet and musical composer from the County of Hainaut. Le Mote was a native speaker of Picard dialect, Picard or Walloon language, Walloon, as the spelling of his surname indicates, since ''le'' is feminine in those dialects. He is, however, probably the same person as the Jehan de La Mote who worked as a scribe in the chancery of Hainaut according to the registers of 1325–1326. He may have hailed from Ghent, if he is the person of the same name to whom King Edward III of England granted an annuity of 20 pounds in 1338. He was probably connected to the English court through Edward's wife since 1328, Philippa of Hainaut. He was still living in 1350, when Gilles Li Muisis praised him in his ''Méditations'' as one of the four greatest living poets. Le Mote wrote three known long poems: *''Li Regret de Guillaume le conte de Haynnau'' (1339), an elegy on the death of Count William I of Hainaut (1337), father of Queen Philippa *''Voie ...

Lorraine
Lorraine, also , ; ; Lorrain: ''Louréne''; Lorraine Franconian: ''Lottringe''; ; ; is a cultural and historical region in Eastern France, now located in the administrative region of Grand Est. Its name stems from the medieval kingdom of Lotharingia (855–959 AD), which in turn was named after either Emperor Lothair I or King Lothair II. Lorraine, originally the southern or "upper" part of this kingdom, came to be ruled by the Holy Roman Empire as the Duchy of Lorraine before the Kingdom of France annexed it in 1766. From 1982 until January 2016, Lorraine was an administrative region of France. In 2016, under a reorganisation, it became part of the new region Grand Est. As a region in modern France, Lorraine consisted of the four departments Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Moselle and Vosges (from a historical point of view the Haute-Marne department is also located in the region), containing 2,337 communes. Metz is the regional prefecture. The largest metropolitan area ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Philip The Good
Philip III the Good (; ; 31 July 1396 – 15 June 1467) ruled as Duke of Burgundy from 1419 until his death in 1467. He was a member of a cadet line of the Valois dynasty, to which all 15th-century kings of France belonged. During his reign, the Burgundian State reached the apex of its prosperity and prestige, and became a leading centre of the arts. Duke Philip has a reputation for his administrative reforms, for his patronage of Flemish artists (such as Jan van Eyck) and of Franco-Flemish composers (such as Gilles Binchois), and for the 1430 seizure of Joan of Arc, whom Philip ransomed to the English after his soldiers captured her, resulting in her trial and eventual execution. In political affairs, he alternated between alliances with the English and with the French in an attempt to improve his dynasty's powerbase. Additionally, as ruler of Flanders, Brabant, Limburg, Artois, Hainaut, Holland, Luxembourg, Zeeland, Friesland and Namur, he played an ...

Feast Of The Pheasant
The Feast of the Pheasant () was a banquet given by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy on 17 February 1454 in Lille, now in France. Its purpose was to promote a crusade against the Turks, who had taken Constantinople the year before. The crusade never took place. There are contemporary accounts of the banquet (notably the ''Memoirs'' of Olivier de la Marche, and the ''Chroniques'' of Mathieu d'Escouchy), which name and describe in much detail the lavish entertainments staged during the meal and even the various pieces of music performed, perhaps including Dufay's motet '' Lamentatio sanctae matris ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae''.Spechtler, Franz Viktor: Lyrik des ausgehenden 14. und des 15.

Feast Of The Swans
The Feast of the Swans was a chivalric celebration of the knighting of 267 men at Westminster Abbey on 22 May 1306. It followed a proclamation by Edward I that all esquires eligible for knighthood should come to Westminster to be knighted in turn by their future king, and to march with him against the Scots. The King first knighted his son Edward, Prince of Wales, who in turn knighted the 266 others. At the feast that followed the king had two swans brought in. He swore before God and the swans to avenge the murder of John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch and the desecration of Greyfriars Church in Dumfries by the Earl of Carrick Robert Bruce and his accomplices earlier in the year, and to fight the infidels in the Holy Land. Among those knighted were Piers Gaveston, Hugh le Despenser, John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey, Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and his uncle, Roger Mortimer of Chirk. The event was dramatised in the 2018 film ''Outlaw King ''Outlaw King'' is a 2018 hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alexander The Great In Legend
The vast conquests of the Macedonia (ancient kingdom), Macedonian king Alexander the Great quickly inspired the formation and diffusion of legendary material about his deity, journeys, and tales. These appeared shortly after his death, and some may have already begun forming during his lifetime. Common themes and symbols among legends about Alexander include the Gates of Alexander, the Horns of Alexander, and the Gordian Knot. In the third century AD, an anonymous author writing in the name of Alexander's court historian Callisthenes (commonly referred to as Pseudo-Callisthenes) authored the Greek ''Alexander Romance''. This text would spawn a genre of literature about the legends and exploits of Alexander across centuries, going through over one hundred versions in premodern times and appearing in almost every language in both European and Islamic worlds. Greek tradition Prophesied conqueror Philip II of Macedon, King Philip II had a dream in which he took a Seal (emblem), wax ...

He was prince-bishop of Liège from 1302 until his death in 1312, while serving in the retinue of Henri VII of Luxembourg. Life In 1296, on the death of Bouchard d'Avesnes, bishop of Metz, he was one of the candidates in competition with , bishop of Orléans. In the end Gérard de Rhéninghe was chosen. Adolph of Waldeck, prince-bishop of Liège, died at the end of 1302. Of three candidate, Guillaume d'Arras was elected. He, however, turned down the position, claiming his background was too humble, and designated Theobald. Theobald's election gained papal approval 13 March 1303; Theobald was then in fact in Rome. He allied himself with Philip IV of France, in 1304. Two years later his relative Henri VII of Luxembourg became King of the Romans; Theobald was a close adviser.
