Craft guild ideology and urban literature: The Four Crowned Martyrs and the Lives of Saints Nazarius and Celsus as told by the masons’ guild of fifteenth-century Ghent
The economic and political dimensions of guilds in medieval Flanders, especially medieval Ghent, have been well studied for generations. It is often noted that guilds were more than work organizations, and that their religious and social activities made them very like confraternities, but exploring the cultural and ideological side of guilds can be hampered by less surviving evidence. The present article attempts to address this lacuna by using p…
John Page’s ‘The Siege of Rouen’: London, British Library MS Egerton 1995, ed. Joanna Bellis
John Page’s account of Henry V’s siege of Rouen of 1418–19 is an extremely important source for historians and for scholars of literature. In just over 1,300 lines, the Middle English poem is stylistically sophisticated and historically fascinating as what claims to be an eyewitness account of warfare. Joanna Bellis’s thorough introduction to both the text and its manuscripts and her helpful glossary should ensure that the text receives the atten…
A New Power in the Late Fourteenth‐Century Low Countries: Philip the Bold's Planned Franco‐Burgundian Invasion of England and Scottish Alliance, 1385–1386
This article considers the power of Philip the Bold, duke of Burgundy and count of Flanders, Artois and Burgundy Palatine, and his attempts to use violence against England to strengthen his rule in the Low Countries, and help to secure his nephew's rule in France. In 1385, and again in 1386, he came close to launching a large‐scale invasion of England with the support of Scotland and of Brittany that had the potential to remove English influence …
La Reine au Moyen Âge: Le pouvoir au féminin, XIVe–XVe siècle, by Murielle Gaude-Ferragu
Murielle Gaude-Ferragu addresses the silence surrounding the queens of late medieval France (with the exceptions of Isabel of Bavaria and Anne of Brittany) and provides an impressively well informed and engaging book which attempts to address this lacuna. Her work draws mainly on other published sources but brings in some new information through engagement with manuscripts, especially books of hours, and the financial accounts of the queens where…
Sisters of Saint George: Female membership and material remembrance within the Crossbow Guild of late medieval Ghent
This article contributes to ongoing research on women's roles within late medieval guilds and parishes, especially their giving of objects on their death. Looking at women within archery and crossbow guilds in Flanders, and drawing on records of bequests they left to guilds on their deaths, as well as at membership lists, the article will demonstrate the ability of women to take part in religious services through objects. Female guild-sisters wer…
Le Spectacle des joutes, sports et courtoisie à la fin du Moyen Âge, by Sébastien Nadot
As Adeline Rucquoi’s preface and Sébastien Nadot’s introduction emphasise, jousts have always captured the professional and public imagination, and are emblematic of the medieval world and chivalry. In this book Nadot provides a detailed study of late medieval jousts, with a focus on France and the Burgundian domains, analysing the physical practicalities of jousts, their spectacular nature and their part in a wider socio-political environment. T…

Honour, community and hierarchy in the feasts of the archery and crossbow guilds of Bruges, 1445–81
Archery and crossbow guilds first appeared in the fourteenth century in response to the needs of town defence and princely calls for troops. By the fifteenth century these guilds existed across northern Europe. Despite this they have not received the attention they deserve, and have even been dismissed as little more than militias. An analysis of the uniquely detailed account books of the two Bruges guilds, the archers of St Sebastian and the cro…
