Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "Jacques Coeur - Merchant Prince of the Middle Ages" offers a compelling exploration of one of the most remarkable figures of the 15th century. Albert Boardman Kerr chronicles the life of Jacques Coeur, a man whose visionary approach to commerce and finance propelled him from a modest background to become the grand argentier for King Charles VII of France. This biography delves into the complexities of the late Middle Ages, a time when the feudal system began to give way to the early stirrings of modern capitalism and international trade.The narrative follows Coeur's meteoric rise as he established a vast commercial empire that spanned the Mediterranean, bringing unprecedented wealth and influence to the French crown. However, his story is equally defined by the dramatic fall that followed, marked by court rivalries, accusations of treason, and the eventual confiscation of his immense fortune. Through detailed research, Kerr illuminates the cultural and political landscape of post-Hundred Years' War France, presenting a portrait of a man who was both a brilliant financier and a tragic victim of his own success. This work remains an essential study for those interested in the history of trade, the evolution of European economics, and the personal dramas that shaped the medieval world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
