Croisade, tyrannie et conspirations antichrétiennes : l’ambiguïté des zones frontières chez quelques auteurs français de la fin du Moyen Âge
| Résumé |
This article focuses on the representation of the margins of
Christianity across certain narrative sources of the late medieval
period. The contact areas between Latin Christianity and other
religions are perceived in very ambiguous terms, at once bastions
of Christianity and potential sources of subversion. Taking the
assassinations of Peter of Castile and Louis I of Orléans as a
starting point, the focus is on the manner in which Castile,
Cyprus, and Hungary, as well as Lombardy, are represented:
assimilated into a “peripheral” nation out of necessity. Mixed in
with the heroic and exotic imagery of the crusade are a number of
negative stereotypes that are used to attack an illegitimate
government, such as tyranny, heresy, apostasy, sorcery, and
treason. |
