American Jousting Alliance - Articles - Weapons of War This was a weapon favored by military-minded clerics (who were not allowed to carry weapons with blades or to shed blood) such as the Bishop of Beauvais who captured the Earl of Salisbury at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214 by stunning him with a mace. Increasingly during the 14th century, Knights dismounted and fought on foot during battles, though the cavalry charge was still an effective way of disrupting the enemy's ranks. The increased effectiveness of the longbow and the crossbow meant that even plate armour could be pierced and the importance of cavalry in battle declined. www.jameszoppe.com /article16.htm   (230 words)

Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Seven Ages of Paris - Alistair Horne Keeping primarily within the confines of political history, he covers nine centuries, from the battle of Bouvines in 1284 to the barricades of 1968. The critical French victory at the battle of the Marne in September 1914, the humiliation of Paris in World War II, and above all the great saga of Charles de Gaulle inspire excellent pages. Some of Horne's judgments on modern France are assailable, but his epilogue on the cemetery of Pere Lachaise is a fitting end to this labor of love. www.foreignaffairs.org /20030301fabook10372/alistair-horne/seven-ages-of-paris.html?mode=print   (246 words)

Probably composed in the early 1260's, by a man known only as the Minstrel of Rheims, the Récits d'un menéstrel Not satisfied merely with having provided a dramatic sacralization of the preparations for the battle of Bouvines, eager to compound the magnitude of the day's royal accomplishments, the Minstrel arranges for King John of England to be defeated by Louis at Roche‑aux‑Moines, on the same day as the battle of Bouvines(15). Since the battle of Bouvines was Philip's only major military accomplishment, the Minstrel understandably devotes significant attention to the event. One of the clearest illustrations of this technique is the incident in which Philip's momentary halt on the way to the battle of Bouvines, represented by only three words ­ modici guieti vacaret in William the Breton's text(9), becomes a major scene in the Récits. www.bu.edu /english/levine/min.htm   (4109 words)

Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor Otto of Brunswick had been elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1209; Frederick had been elected emperor by a rebellious faction who had the backing of Innocent III in 1211 at the Diet of Nuremberg, but until the debacle at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214 this was an empty honor.
