This book presents an edition of two treatises that examine the
legal issues that arose during the Hundred Years War, namely the
laws governing the succession to the French crown, English claims
to territories within France, and the responsibility for the
breeches of various treaties and truces. The first treatise, Pour
ce que plusieurs, was written in 1464 by a French diplomat and
administrator, Guillaume Cousinot, and is most famous for its part
in establishing the myth that the royal succession in France was
determined by a otiose law code of the Franks, the Salic Law. The
second is an English response to these arguments, A declaracion of
the trew and dewe title of Henrie VIII, written during the reign of
Henry VIII (1509-1547). The declaracion provides valuable evidence
of English reactions to the rhetoric and propaganda generated by
the French crown at the end of the middle ages.
