This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1834 edition. Excerpt: ... He died at forty-four, the same age as the Duke de Guise, of a shot from an arquebuse, received in his left shoulder, at the seige of Rouen, where he commanded. His death happened the 17th of November, 1562, the thirty-fifth day of his wound. The uncertainty which he had shown during his life, troubled him in his last moments; and though he had received the sacraments according to the usage of the Romish church, it was doubted whether he did not die a protestant. He had received his mortal blow in the trench, where he had privately retired. So this epitaph was made on him: Ami Francais, le prince ici gisaut Vecut sans gloire, et morut en pisaut. There is one with M. le Laboureur, which resembles this and ends with the same hemistich. M. Jurieu asserts that when Louis, Prince de Conde, was in prison, at Orleans, the king of Navarre, his brother, went to solicit the Cardinal Lorraine, and that he received the king of Navarre, sitting and covered, who addressed him standing and bare-headed. I know not whence M. de Jurieu could discover this fact. (Taken from the edition of 1723.) 14 Louis de Conde, brother of Anthony, king of Navarre, the seventh and last of the children of Charles de Bourbon, Duke de Vendome, was one of those extraordinary men born for misfortune and for the glory of their country. He was for a long time the chief of the reformers, and died, as is known, at Jarnac. He had one arm in a sling on the day of battle. As he was marching towards the enemy, the horse of the Count de Rochefoucauld, his brother-in-law, gave him a kick which bruised his thigh. The prince, without deigning to complain, addressed himself to the gentlemen who accompanied him: "Learn," says he to them, "that unruly horses do more harm than good in an...

"There are few historical figures in the Middle Ages that cast a larger shadow than Charlemagne. This volume brings together a collection of studies on the Charlemagne legend from a wide range of fields, not only adding to the growing corpus of work on this legendary figure, but opening new avenues of inquiry by bringing together innovative trends that cross disciplinary boundaries. This collection expands the geographical frontiers, and extends the chronological scope beyond the Middle Ages from the heart of Carolingian Europe to Spain, England, and Iceland. The Charlemagne found here is one both familiar and strange and one who is both celebrated and critiqued. Contributors are Jada Bailey, Cullen Chandler, Carla Del Zotto, William Diebold, Christopher Flynn, Ana Grinberg, Elizabeth Melick, Jace Stuckey, and Larissa Tracy"--

The Regiment of Princes

Thomas Hoccleve was born in 1367 and entered government service as clerk in the office of the Privy Seal in 1387, an office that he held until his death in 1426. His earliest datable poem (the Epistle of Cupid, a free translation of Christine de Pisan's Epistre au Dieu d'Amour) was completed about 1402. The Regiment of Princes, written about 1410-11, was composed at a time when England was still feeling the consequences of the deposition of Richard II. Essentially it is addressed to a prince on the subject of his governance, but it exhibits considerable generic instability and thus raises fundamental questions about how we should understand the tone of considerable portions of the poem. For all the problems it presents, The Regiment shows that Hoccleve has strengths as a poet. At times he could be a very talented prosodist. In autobiographical sections of the poem he creates a most interesting early-modern subjectivity. He has distinctive observations to make about his time, and, in his self-critical awareness, probes the limits of what is means to be a poet writing in the wake of Chaucer.
