During his lifelong career as a messenger and a diplomat in Charles’s service, Gilles le Bouvier, known as The Berry Herald, travelled far and wide on his master’s behalf. This translated work is a compilation of his observations as he moved around Western Europe, the Mediterranean states and the Black Sea region. Throughout the text, Gilles le Bouvier:
* assessed or commented on the lands encompassed by his extensive travels
* discussed the peoples he claimed to have encountered, from the honourable Turks to the ‘bad Catholics’ of southern Italy
* surveyed the military capabilities of France’s neighbours, allies, enemies and neutral states
Expertly introduced and contextualised by Gideon Brough and Sophie Patrick, this book provides a compelling and unique historical source for understanding life in late-medieval Europe through the eyes of someone who lived it.
Gideon Brough holds a PhD in Medieval Diplomatic Relations and Warfare from Cardiff University, UK. He currently teaches Welsh, British and European History at The Open University, UK. His main academic interests are Welsh and French History, focusing on aspects of warfare, diplomacy, power relations, geopolitics, insurgencies and notions of identity. Sophie Patrick is Lecturer in French at University of New England, Australia. Her research interests include medieval French literature and translation, as well as dystopian and declinist literature.
