Jean-Baptiste Santamaria

From Artois to Burgundy, Marguerite of France can be regarded as a female incarnation of political reformism during the Hundred Years' War.

The studies composing this book examine, from a comparative perspective, the long-term evolution of curial itinerancy in France, the nature of courtly mobility and its impact on both the royal entourage and society at large.

The art of argumentation does not yield its rights in war situations. On the contrary, the preparation of conflicts, the conduct of operations and the reconstruction of peace are intense moments of persuasion, negotiation and confrontation in which public speaking occupies its full place.
