The Franco-Flemish region of medieval Flanders was a locus of important trade routes in the 13th and 14th centuries. Located in a prime position between the Holy Roman Empire and the North Sea (present-day northern Belgium), the urban centers of the region were surpassed in population only by the city-states of central and northern Italy. This positioning afforded the Flemish citizens of the region great prosperity and they formed guilds to protect their rights, regulate their working hours and standardize their wages. These guilds produced a cohesive unit of people eager to retain the rights they had gained. In 1302, French cavalry faced the determined Flemish soldiers on foot at Kortrijk (Courtrai). This book analyzes the battle that ensued, its origins, consequences and legacy. It also examines the everyday lives of the inhabitants of Flanders; urban dwellers, knights, nobles, women and others. This is the first major English-language study of the historic 14th century battle between the French and the Flemish, a conflict whose repercussions linger in modern Belgium.

Written at the promptings of friends and family, the story of Midshipman Boys captivity and escape from Napoleonic France stands as an adventure yarn par excellence, it is however the true story of his trials after capture by the French in 1803. As a young sailor in the Royal Navy, Boys was posted to the Mediterranean as part of the ships crew of the Phoebe, a 38-gun frigate. Cruising off the French naval base of Toulon as part of the blockade carried out by the British to squeeze the sea-borne trade of the French Republic, the Phoebe captured two small prize vessels, of which Boys was appointed prize master. This was the be a fateful turning point for him. Chased by French frigates that the prize vessel could not outsail, Boys was captured and entered the prisoner of war system in Napoleon’s France. From Toulon he went on the long journey northward to Verdun, the main prisoner of war depot then in use, his many adventures, including exorbitant extortions and attempts to escape are told with some modesty and a keen eye to the details. After a number of foiled attempts, he manages to escape and sets out on a journey to find a way back to England make for a fascinating and entertaining read. Author – Captain Edward Boys, R.N.

This study examines the evolution of national and regional, cultural and political identities in that northern region of France which borders Belgium, over the two centuries which followed the French Revolution. During that time the region was transformed by the development of the industrial economy, population shifts, war and occupation, and numerous changes of political regime. Through an analysis of a wide range of issues, including language, regional and national political movements, educational policy, attitudes towards immigrants and the border, the press, trade unions, and the church - as well as the attitude of the French State - the author questions traditional interpretations of the process of national assimilation in France. At the same time he illustrates how the Franco-Belgian border, originally an arbitrary line through a culturally homogeneous region, became not only a significant marker for the identity of the French Flemish, but a real cultural division. TIMOTHY BAYCROFT is lecturer in French history, University of Sheffield.

A study of manuscript illumination in Amiens in the late Middle Ages, this is the second in a series of monographs on all aspects of medieval culture. It examines the subject in its historical and socio-economic context, discussing evidence of artistic interchange between France and Flanders. During this period, Amiens was an important commercial, religious and cultural centre, poised geographically and politically between France and Flanders, the two most avant-garde regions in Northern Europe for panel painting and manuscript illumination. It also produced Simon Marmion, the most celebrated manuscript illuminator working in the Burgundian territories in the second half of the century.
