El triunfo de la pólvora plantea una aproximación multidisciplinar a la historia bajomedieval de la artillería pirobalística. Interesan el armamento en sí mismo y su utilización, estudiados tanto a partir de la iconografía como de los testimonios historiográficos y documentales; pero también, los artífices de las piezas, el modo en que se organizaban sus funciones y su producción, e incluso sus trayectorias biográficas y personales. Y, por supuesto, se analizan los cambios experimentados por las fortificaciones para integrar y hacer frente al arma de fuego. El reino de Castilla, en su conjunto y con sus distintas fronteras, centraliza el contenido del volumen, aunque siempre en r...

À partir des chroniques nobiliaires d'époque trastamare, cette étude cherche à établir comment la guerre était vécue et racontée en Castille au XVe siècle. Les deux premiers chapitres portent sur les conditions de production de ces textes, et abordent les problèmes posés par la mise en récit de l'expérience vécue. Les trois suivants montrent que la culture de guerre est alors largement partagée au sein de la noblesse, sans considération de genre ni de statut : femmes et clercs n'en sont pas exclus. En revanche, le discours sur la guerre construit une forme d'exclusivité nobiliaire qui se manifeste dans le traitement narratif réservé aux combattants roturiers. Le dernier chapitre aborde enfin le combat dans une perspective anthropologique, en s'attachant au corps et aux émotions du guerrier.
The late antique and the early medieval periods witnessed the flourishing of bishops in the West as the main articulators of social life. This influential position exposed them to several threats, both political and religious. Researchers have generally addressed violence, rebellions or conflicts to study the dynamics related to secular powers during these periods. They haven’t paid similar attention, however, to those analogous contexts that had bishops as protagonists.

Firstly, it aims to identify the different types of threats ...
