I'm a medieval historian specialized in french medieval history and I regret that career choice everyday.
Ask me stuff.
>>86018
opinion on the Valois dukes of burgundy? if its within your time frame
You started this thread earlier and it 404'd
This is like the one thing I'd love to learn about, give me books
How much raw dirty fucking did the French get into in the medieval era and did they leave behind paintings of it.
>>86044
They're cool, strong and independent and need no french monarchy. And I'm not saying this because my thesis is about Marguerite and Philippe of Burgundy.
>>86117
I've got an interesting in the Duchy of Burgundy thanks to vidya. Got any recommendations for books (in english)?
>>86341
I know that Richard Vaughan is pretty solid on the subject, so his collection on Valois Burgundy should be more than enough. I don't know the others, tho.
>>86018
Other than what I am assuming to be a bad financial situation why do you regret your choice in career path?
>>86408
thanks mate
>>86438
There is no work, and if you find an available position you have to be the friend or the cousin of a guy/girl already working in that museum/institution to have the slightest chance to have an interview.
Also I'm more into economic and cultural/institutional history and my research director assigned me to an agronomical/social thesis against my will.
>>86482
Define institutional history for me
>>86018
did the cathars have half a chance?
could they have migrated or something?
>>86508
I wanted to work on the officer (senechal, chambellan, etc..) status, prestige and whereabout in the delimited cultural and spacial area of the dukal court.
The first subject I wanted to work on was how the Swan's Keeper office was created in the late Valois Burgundy, his interactions and the power struggle inside the court and with the other officers, and how that office was later transmitted into the boundaries of the HRE.
Now I work on cattling in the princes' holidays castles. Kill me already.

No. Because the Northern nobles needed to expand south anyway, so it was a political and religious genocide.
>>86018
Does 100 Year War fall into your area? If so, why did the French really follow a little girl into battle?
>>86157
Reading them isn't really an issue, I know some folks who can read fluently and I'm picking it up myself. I mostly want them now so I can read them later.
>>86018
Est-ce que t'as des bouquins sur l'histoire économique au moyen-âge (Europe et/ou France) ?
>>86590
Yes, more or less.
>why did the French really follow a little girl into battle?
Because for Charles it was the necessary mean to make his troops believe God was on the French side and make them fight with all of their strenght. Once Joan's purpose have been achieved Charles didn't had any use for her and she was more like a threat to his personnal power. That's why when the burgundians caught her he didn't help her anymore.
>>86633
Ouaip, certains.
Un qui est pas mal est "La naissance du capitalisme au moyen-age" de Heers, qui explique bien les rapports à l'argent et les flu financiers de l'époque, la plupart des Sivéry sont sur les rapport agro-économiques, et les gros bouquins de la collection "Histoire de France" ont de grosses parties sur l'économie.
Après pour d'autre thèmes plus poussés, notamment les systèmes financiers lombards ou l'appareil économique de la Livonie teutonique, vaut mieux regarder dans les publications étrangères.

>No. Because the Northern nobles needed to expand south anyway, so it was a political and religious genocide.
It's a bit more complicated than that.
Innocent III excommunicated cathar nobles, cities and the one who supported them. That means that these territories were "in prey": anyone who could conquer it could legitimately claim it thanks to the Pope. The King of France had much better shit to do than attacking his own people like fighting the English. He had to conquer these territories back or convert its inhabitants or foreign powers like Aragon (see battle of Muret) could have seized them.

>Un qui est pas mal est "La naissance du capitalisme au moyen-age" de Heers
Je confirme, je l'ai lu il y a quelques mois et le livre est passionant. Je conseille aussi "Moyen-Age : Ombre et lumière".
>>86634
so pretty much, if it weren't for Charles championing her, the French would have never followed behind her
Makes me wonder how much lewd thoughts were made of her.
>>86691
I'm wasn't talking about the King, I was talking about the barons, counts and other nobles who wanted a big chunk of the rich southern lands since a while, especially to land their heirs.
They'd have attacked the south anyway in the coming years.
>>86730
But the crusades were organized and authorized by the King.
>They'd have attacked the south anyway in the coming years.
Proof?
I've read all the books of Michel Roquebert about the Croisade des Albigeois and this is his thesis.
>>86018
Was being a peasant really all the bad?
>>86756
>Proof?
A conference I attended 2 years ago but didn't listened to too much (partied the night before and no european credits whatsoever if I submitted a , one of the main thesis of one of the participant was that the number of unlanded heirs in the northern part of France would have led to a civil war in the coming decades, if not years. But as I said it's not the part of history I'm interested in, so maybe I recalled it wrong.

Master de Recherche à l'université de Dijon, j'y suis toujours [spoiler]En troisième année de master :^)[/spoiler]

Well, you had a shitload of days off, could make a little benefice of your work, had a community to belong to, etc.
On the other hand you were the first target of raiders and armies, the first victim of wars, If the new lord was a dick you were fucked deep in the ass except if you could appeal to the king, and if you had a disease you were pretty much done for.
>>86822
Courage, je crois qu'il y a pas mal de places de maîtres de conf en histoire médiévale.
C'est vrai que Dijon a une très bonne [spoiler] moutarde [/spoiler]
>>86872
La recherche et l'enseignement me font chier au plus haut point. Si tout se passe bien je vais rentrer en IAE l'année prochaine et ensuite me trouver du boulot OKLM.
>>86854
are there any direct sorcues from middle age peasants or are they all just written by nobles describing them?
>>86900
Not by nobles, most of the time it's burgers and scholars who describe their life. A good part of the peasantry could read basic stuff but not write anyway.
Also one of the most common source is the archeological studies.
>>86888
Tiens donc pourquoi ? J'envisage aussi la recherche (mais en économie).
>>86943
Aucune gratification, qu'elle soit financière ou professionnelle, ne me fera continuer la recherche en histoire dans le contexte actuel des universités, et encore moins y enseigner.
L'Etat (ici socialiste) veut créer des boeufs technocrates sans culture et je refuse de participer à cette trahison des générations futures.
Donc j'irai faire mon beurre ailleurs.
>>86018
How much were the French into boylove?
I don't mean pedo, but cute twinkish guys.
>>86018
Is your regret because of a lack of career opportunities, interest or because you now realise what a tragedy it is you will never fuck Jeanne d'Arc?
>>90570
She was probably homely desu
Good place to find info on the Baltic tribes pre crusades?
>>90697
Her mere physical form may have been homely, but her spirit was on fleek.
