Souvent associés au monde médiéval, les tournois faisaient pourtant toujours partie des fêtes les plus riches et impressionnantes des cours du XVIe siècle, en particulier en France. Rituels chevaleresques traditionnels et spectacles grandioses, les meilleurs artistes et artisans de la cour y étaient sollicités pour en concevoir les décors, les armures, les costumes, la musique ou encore les textes. Pour la première fois, la présente publication explore la nature, les enjeux et les évolutions des tournois royaux français, depuis le règne de Charles VIII jusqu’aux premières années de celui de Louis XIII. Faisant usage de toutes les sources disponibles, tant textuelles et archivistiques qu’artistiques, cette étude rapporte l’image vibrante de ces spectaculaires évènements alors au centre de la vie curiale française.

Première étude détaillée à grande échelle sur le sujet
Approche interdisciplinaire explorant tout autant les aspects matériels, artistiques, sociaux et historiques de ces évènements
Évocation vivante de spectacles parmi les plus impressionnants et élaborés des fêtes de cour de la Renaissance en Europe
Often associated with the medieval world, tournaments were still an important part of courtly life during the Renaissance, being among the most lavish and impressive public royal celebrations of their time, especially in France. Beyond the traditional chivalric ritual, bringing together nobility and monarchy in a carefully crafted spectacle, the best court artists and craftsmen were called upon to create sets, armor, costumes, or even texts and music for such events. This publication offers a first exploration of the nature and evolution of French royal tournaments, from Charles VIII to the first years of Louis XIII’s reign. Using all the textual, archival and artistic sources available, this study provides a vivid picture of those lavish, spectacular performances that were once a focal point of French courtly life.

First thorough, large-scale study on tournaments
Interdisciplinary approach exploring material, artistic, social and historical aspects of such events
Vivid evocation of what were once among the most impressive and elaborate courtly spectacles in Renaissance Europe
