Philip IV Of France
Philip IV (April–June 1268 – 29 November 1314), called Philip the Fair (), was King of France from 1285 to 1314. Jure uxoris, By virtue of his marriage with Joan I of Navarre, he was also King of Navarre and Count of Champagne as Philip I from 1284 to 1305. Although Philip was known to be handsome, hence the epithet ''le Bel'', his rigid, autocratic, imposing, and inflexible personality gained him (from friend and foe alike) other nicknames, such as the Iron King (). His fierce opponent Bernard Saisset, Roman Catholic Diocese of Pamiers, bishop of Pamiers, said of him: "He is neither man nor beast. He is a statue." Philip, seeking to reduce the wealth and power of the nobility and clergy, relied instead on skilful civil servants, such as Guillaume de Nogaret and Enguerrand de Marigny, to govern Kingdom of France, the kingdom. The king, who sought an uncontested monarchy, compelled his vassals by wars and restricted their feudal privileges, paving the way for the tran ...

Jacques De Longuyon
Jacques de Longuyon (Old French ''Jaques de Langhion'' or ''Longuion'') was the author of the ''Vows of the Peacock'', a chanson de geste written for Theobald (bishop of Liège), Thibaut de Bar, bishop of Liège, about 1310.Antoine Thomas (linguist), Antoine Thomas"Jacques de Longuyon, trouvère" ''Histoire littéraire de France'' (Paris, 1927 ), vol. 26, pp. 1–35. It was one of the most popular romances of the 14th century and introduces the concept of the Nine Worthies. What is known of Jacques's origins comes from his own words in the final ''laisse'' of the ''Vows''. He states that he was from Lorraine, although his name indicates the village of Longuyon, which was technically part of the Barrois mouvant. The final ''laisse'' was added to an already completed poem, since it deplores the death of Bishop Thibaut on 29 May 1312 and of Emperor Henry VII on 24 August 1313, by which time the poem was already in circulation. Jacques is praised as the poet of the ''Vows'' in the ''P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Voeux Du Paon
''Vows of the Peacock'' () is a poem composed by Jacques de Longuyon between 1312 and 1313 for the Bishop of Liège, Theobald (bishop of Liège), Thiébaut de Bar. The poem describes courtly activities and amusements during truces in a battle. Alternating between intense battle sequences and an idealised court setting, the poem emphasises notions of chivalry and valiance. The narrative culminates in a banquet where the gathered knights and ladies take turns swearing on an elaborately prepared peacock. ''Voeux'' was created as a later self-contained addition to the Roman d'Alexandre and achieved significant contemporary success. Through numerous illuminated manuscripts, and then later printed books, the story became well known. Longuyon’s grouping of Nine Worthies, the 'Nine Worthies’ in this text became a defining topos of the late Middle Ages. Date In the final laisse of the ''Vows'', the poet identifies himself and his patron. This laisse, however, is found in only one manusc ...

He was the third son of King Charles II of Naples and Mary of Hungary, and during his father's lifetime he was styled Duke of Calabria (1296–1309).

King Of The Romans
King of the Romans (; ) was the title used by the king of East Francia following his election by the princes from the reign of Henry II (1002–1024) onward.

The title was also used to designate the successor to the throne elected during the lifetime of a sitting Emperor.
