Summary

‘what a gratifying activity war is, for many are the splendid things heard and seen in the course of it, and many are the lessons to be learned from it.’ Such was the chivalric language, used by Jean de Bueil, author of Le Jouvencel, in the mid-fifteenth century, to describe the feelings of those who participated in military activity. War, however, was more than an opportunity for physical excitement or the chance to win reputation through deeds worthy of being recorded for the benefit of others. War was widely regarded as a way of securing peace and justice: ‘he who desires peace, let him prepare for war’, Vegetius had written in the late fourth century, an approach echoed by Jean de Bueil when he wrote that ‘when war is fought in a good cause, then it is fought for justice and the defence of right’ which might be legal, feudal, dynastic, in most cases ‘historic’ in some sense of that word. War was a last resort, a final, legitimate means of securing and maintaining justice. By the same token, victory was viewed as a sign from Heaven: God attributed victory to those whose cause was just.
