Story
The most famous date in history is 1066, and with good reason, since no battle in medieval history had such a devastating effect on its losers as the Battle of Hastings, which altered the entire course of English history.

Story
On a chilly November night in 1407, Louis of Orleans was murdered by a band of masked men. The crime stunned and paralyzed France since Louis had often ruled in place of his brother King Charles, who had gone mad. As panic seized Paris, an investigation began. In charge was the Provost of Paris, Guillaume de Tignonville, the city's chief law enforcement officer - and one of history's first detectives. As de Tignonville began to investigate, he realized that his hunt for the truth was much more dangerous than he ever could have imagined.

Story
The parish, the lowest level of hierarchy in the medieval church, was the shared responsibility of the laity and the clergy. Most Christians were baptized, went to confession, were married, and were buried in the parish church or churchyard; in addition, business, legal settlements, sociability, and entertainment brought people to the church, uniting secular and sacred concerns.

Story
In prose as crystalline as his view to the Pyrenees on a clear day, Allman animates Lauzerte and its surrounding communities—Cahors, Moissac, Montauban—all ever in thrall to the magnetic impulse of Paris. Witness to so many dramas over the centuries, his house comes alive as a historical protagonist in its own right, from its wine-cellar cave to the roof where he wages futile battle with pigeons, to the life lessons it conveys. “The onward march of history, my House keeps demonstrating, never takes a rest,” he observes, pulling us vividly into his world.

When T. D. Allman purchased an 800-year-old house in the mountain village of Lauzerte in southwestern France, he aimed to find refuge from the world's tumults. Instead, he found that humanity’s most telling melodramas, from the paleolithic to the post-modern, were graven in its stones.

Story
Entre "Naître" et "Mourir", les vingt-deux chapitres de ce livre - appelé à devenir un classique - scandent l'existence des hommes et des femmes du Moyen-Âge. L'on découvre ainsi qu'on ne se marie pas par amour et que les futurs époux, surtout la femme, n'ont pas leur mot à dire. La sexualité tient pourtant une place importante au sein du couple et certains textes, connus des milieux cultivés, attestent même l'existence d'un art érotique.

Story
"Au temps des Vikings" nous plonge au sein d'une civilisation fascinante, loin des clichés virils et barbares dont on l'a longtemps affublée. Le temps des Vikings, de 800 à 1100, c'est ce moment de l'histoire du Moyen Âge où de farouches guerriers venus du Nord sèment la terreur dans de nombreuses villes européennes accessibles par mer ou voie fluviale. Ils pillent, s'emparent des trésors des églises et des monastères, enlèvent des habitants qu'ils échangent contre une rançon ou vendent comme esclaves.

Story
The largest island of the Mediterranean has always been a complicated place with a fraught relationship to the Italian mainland. Separated by only the narrow Strait of Messina, Sicily feels like a different country in many ways, and the differences between Sicilians and Italians are much vaster than the tiny geographical separating them might intimate. For example, the linguistic differences between the two are substantial, as Sicilian is practically its own language, rather than just a dialect.

Story
Qu'est ce que l'inquisition ? L'histoire de l'inquisition – dans laquelle le Midi de la France tient une large place – a longtemps été l'objet d'opinions contradictoires. On a pu croire qu'elle avait sauvé la chrétienté et la société occidentale de la subversion religieuse et sociale ; on a pu dire qu'elle avait écrasé une religion évangélique par l'oppression, la terreur et les bûchers. Cet enregistrement tente d'approcher au plus près les réalités médiévales sans a priori ou complaisance et de dresser le tableau de l'inquisition en Languedoc au temps où elle consacre tous ses efforts à l'éradication du catharisme. Inquisition et hérésie.

Story
"L'Histoire de France" de Jules Michelet est un monument. Littéraire, d'abord, par le style envolé de ce digne héritier de Dumas et par sa puissance d'évocation : Michelet s'était donné pour mission de ressusciter le passé, de faire revivre personnages et coups d'éclat qui ont construit l'identité de la France pour mettre en évidence ce qui fait l'âme d'une nation. Historique dans tous les sens du terme, ensuite : ses dix-sept tomes publiés entre 1833 et 1867 constituent la première histoire exhaustive consacrée à la France, qui avant lui n'était décrite que par une "suite d'annales" sans qu'un sens global en ait jamais été dégagé.

2020, centenaire de la canonisation de Jeanne d'Arc. Ce livre audio se propose, en quelques chapitres très clairs, de couper court aux pires bêtises qui circulent encore sur Jeanne. Car depuis plusieures années, les recherches ont permis d'établir de façon scientifique et incontestable la vie de la "Pucelle d'Orléans". Face aux hypothèses sensationnalistes que l'on peut lire ou entendre encore, Colette Beaune, avec la rigueur et l'exigence d'une grande historienne, rétablit ici la vérité : Jeanne fut-elle bergère ou fille d'un roi caché?
