Description:From the back cover:Towards the end of 1482, King Louis XI of France concluded a European treaty that shattered his tenuous peace -- or armistice -- with King Edward IV of England. Louis needed agents in London to keep him apprised of how Edward could retaliate. Domenico Mancini, and Italian friar, was entrusted with a mission by one of the French king's high-ranking advisers to gain intelligence in the English capital. By chance, Mancini was still in London in April 1483 when Edward IV took to his bed and died unexpectedly, leaving sons aged twelve and nine. Mancini remained long enough to record his impressions of the extraordinary ten weeks that led to the accession of Edward's brother to become Richard III.This is the account Mancini wrote for the enjoyment of his French readers, reflecting the attitudes of his masters at Louis XI's court. As a cleric he gave full voice to the moralizing precepts of his calling. His opening chapters depict the court of Edward IV rife with the sins of degenerate lust, gluttony, avarice, jealousy, manipulation of power and sale of offices. However, as a visitor who probably spoke little English his understanding was shaped by what he picked up from the people around him ... which leaves the reader uncertain whose anonymous opinions guided his pen. This influential report is the most detailed narrative we have by someone who was present and made observations which he afterwards wrote down; but argument rages as to how prejudiced it is. Objectivity was not assisted by the judgemental vocabulary of its original translation, published in 1936. The study of late mediaeval England has moved on since then, and this analysis reveals Mancini was far from the 'detached foreigner' he was once asserted to be.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
