In this fascinating new book, Malcolm Vale sets out to recapture
the splendour of the court culture of western Europe in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Exploring the century or so
between the death of St Louis and the rise of Burgundian power in
the Low Countries, he illuminates a period in the history of
princes and court life previously overshadowed by that of the
courts of the dukes of Burgundy. Taking in subjects as diverse as
art patronage and gambling, hunting and devotional religion,
Malcolm Vale rediscovers a richness and abundance of artistic,
literary, and musical life. He shows how, despite the pressures of
political fragmentation, unrest, and a nascent awareness of
national identity, a common culture emerged in English, French, and
Dutch court societies at this time. The result is a ground-breaking
re-evaluation of the nature and role of the court in European
history and a celebration of a forgotten age.
