Named one of the Best Medieval Books of 2025 by Medievalists.net

Translated from the medieval French, this book is a landmark English-language version of the work of Gilles le Bouvier. As the senior herald to King Charles VII, the monarch on the French throne as they advanced to victory in the Hundred Years War between England, France and their allies, Gilles le Bouvier was close to the king during a decisive, formative period in Frances history, as well as being a well-known figure from the period. The Observations of Gilles le Bouvier thus delivers a rare glimpse of a singular medieval worldview, offered through the constrained voice of a skilled diplomat carefully and occasionally sharing his opinions to audiences composed of his social superiors.

During his lifelong career as a messenger and a diplomat in Charless service, Gilles le Bouvier, known as The Berry Herald, travelled far and wide on his masters 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 Frances 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.

Arvustused

Take a plunge into medieval history and travel, forget your modern day worries and prepare to be surprised. You will be entering a world that is not only pre-Columbus, pre-Reconquista, pre-Renaissance, but also slightly predates the Gutenberg Bible and the War of the Roses. Your stereotypical ideas about the Middle Ages as a dark, gloomy period will be blown to bits. Youll see that people traveled, observed, depicted, compared and constructed their worldview much the same way we do in the age of low-cost flights and Instagram, just a bit differently. Keep an open mind and youll be richly rewarded! * Alexis Charbonnier, Professor of English, Université Clermont Auvergne, France * The Observations of Gilles le Bouvier, impeccably edited and translated into clear, conversational English, is an exciting addition to medieval travel literature. Written by Gilles le Bouvier, best known as the author of Les Chroniques du Roi Charles VII par Gilles le Bouvier Dit le Hérault Berri, this work offers geographical details of many of the kingdom of Europe, not to mention many lands in the Near East, the region of the Caucasus region, and other lands bordering on the Black Sea. * Tracy Adams, Professor in European Languages and Literature, University of Auckland, New Zealand *
