Anscombe on the shallowness of consequentialism
This paper is divided into two parts. In the first I outline and defend Elizabeth Anscombe's claim that consequentialism is a shallow philosophy by considering how two contemporary consequentialists reach opposing but equally outlandish moral conclusions on a matter as fundamental as whether it is good or bad that the human race continues. In the second I argue that in order to show what is wrong with the consequentialist arguments presented in p…

A Courtier is Always in Danger
In the mid-1460s, an experienced French soldier named Jean de Bueil wrote Le Jouvencel, a fictional account of the military career of an anonymous young soldier rising through the ranks. This was inspired by real events, people, and places that the author had known and witnessed during his own military career stretching back to the 1420s. Though it was not an autobiography or memoir that offered a simple account of the life and career of its auth…
Moral Difference and Moral Differences
The idea that human beings have a distinct moral worth—a moral significance over and above any moral worth, such as that may be, possessed by other animals—has a long history and has traditionally been taken for granted by philosophers and theologians. However, in a variety of quarters in recent philosophy, this idea has come into disrepute, seeming to indicate a mere prejudice in favour of our own species. For example, Peter Singer has argued th…
Sir John Fortescue and the Governance of England
Reasons behind Reasons
This paper analyses conceptual frameworks that have been suggested in the literature for understanding women’s radicalization, including the emergent phenomenon of family bombings, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia. We argue that understanding these trends requires grappling with socio-culturally specific gender-related concepts and that the liberal political theory framework that has informed a significant body of research in this area, with it…

La maleureuse bataille’
This article examines the military and political impact of the battle of Agincourt in France and the way in which this defeat was remembered up until the end of the Hundred Years’ War. The English presented their victory as a sign of God’s support for Henry V and his claims in France, but the French preferred to understand their defeat as a divine punishment for their sins. This led to debate about who had incurred God’s wrath, as civilians blame…
Resident Aliens in Later Medieval England
The essays collected in this volume identify and analyse the presence of immigrants in late medieval England. Drawing on unique evidence from the alien subsidies collected in England between 1440 and 1487 and other newly accessible archival resources, and deploying a wide range of historical and cultural methods, they reveal the considerable contribution of foreign-born people to the economy, society and culture of England in the age of the Black…

Jean Fouquet and the Invention of France
Jean Fouquet died around 1480, having established his legacy as one of the most important French artists of the fifteenth-century. He illuminated manuscripts, executed panel paintings and enamels, and designed tapestries and stained glass. His earliest recorded work was a now lost portrait of Pope Eugenius IV, but his splendid images of kings Charles VII and Louis XI number amongst the most important works of late medieval portraiture. Indeed Fou…

The Salic Law, French Queenship, and the Defense of Women in the Late Middle Ages
The Lex Salica (Salic Law) was a legal code written around the time of Clovis (476–96) for the Salian Franks. After being revised and expanded under the Merovingian and Carolingian kings, it was slowly forgotten until the middle of the fourteenth century, when it was rediscovered by Richard Lescot and the monks of Saint-Denis. The Salic Law enjoyed a second lease on life from the beginning of the fifteenth century, when it was officially adopted …

The entry of Charles Vm into Reims in 1484 for his royal coronation was accompanied by a number of historical and allegorical tableaux vivants. Amongst these was a scene where Clovis received the holy balm used to anoint \nall French monarchs, an appropriate illustration of the mystical and liturgical nature of French kingship. Just before this there was another dramatic performance in which the first king of France, Pharamond, commissioned and \…
