This volume is concerned with diplomacy between England and the
papal curia during the first phase of the Anglo-French conflict
known as the Hundred Years' War (1305-1360). On the one hand,
Barbara Bombi compares how the practice of diplomacy, conducted
through both official and unofficial diplomatic communications,
developed in England and at the papal curia alongside the formation
of bureaucratic systems. On the other hand, she questions how the
Anglo-French conflict and political change during the reigns of
Edward II and Edward III impacted on the growth of diplomatic
services both in England and the papal curia. Through the careful
examination of archival and manuscript sources preserved in
English, French, and Italian archives, this book argues that the
practice of diplomacy in fourteenth-century Europe nurtured the
formation of a "shared language of diplomacy". The latter emerged
from the need to "translate" different traditions thanks to the
adaptation of house-styles, formularies, and ceremonial practices
as well as through the contribution of intermediaries and
diplomatic agents acquainted with different diplomatic and legal
traditions. This argument is mostly demonstrated in the second part
of the book, where the author examines four relevant case studies:
the papacy's move to France after the election of Pope Clement V
(1305) and the succession of Edward II to the English throne
(1307); Anglo-papal relations between the war of St Sardos (1324)
and the deposition of Edward II in 1327; the outbreak of the
Hundred Years' Wars in 1337; and lastly the conclusion of the first
phase of the war, which was marked in 1360 by the agreement between
England and France known as the Treaty of Bretigny-Calais.
