Excerpt from La Bataille De Trente: A Middle-French Poem of the Fourteenth Century; A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Schools of Arts Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, (Department of Romance Languages) Did J eban le Bel have our poem before him at the time he wrote his account Of the event We think probably not, but it seems likely that he had seen it in some form or heard a portion of it recited. The outline of the story is the same in the poem and in his account, the verbal coincidences are sufficiently numerous to attract attention, and the lack of more exact parallels can be explained as due to the great condensation in the chronicle. The discrepancies can be explained by J ehan' s preference for hearsay evidence rather than the testimony of a livre rime, and it is not astonishing that he fails to mention the poem since others who have used it have done the same.1 The substitution of Beaumont for Beaumanoir is probably an attempt to reflect glory on Jehan le Bel's patron, the sire de Beaumont, for whom the author wrote his chronicle;2 the name Brandebourch and the statement that he was a German is also comprehensible 3 and as the two leaders represented the warring duchesses, we can appreciate Jehan's readiness to assign this cause for the battle in place of an. Act of humanity not quite so much in accord with the spirit of the fourteenth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The literature of chivalry and of courtly love has left an indelible impression on western ideas. What is less clear is how far the contemporary warrior aristocracy took this literature to heart and how far its ideals had influence in practice, especially in war. These are questions that Maurice Keen is uniquely qualified to answer. This book is a collection of Maurice Keen's articles and deals with both the ideas of chivalry and the reality of warfare. He discusses brotherhood-in-arms, courtly love, crusades, heraldry, knighthood, the law of arms, tournaments and the nature of nobility, as well as describing the actual brutality of medieval warfare and the lure of plunder. While the standards set by chivalric codes undoubtedly had a real, if intangible, influence on the behaviour of contemporaries, chivalry's idealisation of the knight errant also enhanced the attraction of war, endorsing its horrors with a veneer of acceptability.
