[en] The Dauphin and the Peace During the Civil War in the Kingdom of France. Pax infusa and pax acquisita in Christine de Pizan's Political Theory

During the Hundred Years' War and the civil war in France, every social group speak about peace, invoke peace and preach about peace. It is precisely in this context that Christine de Pizan writes her Livre de la Paix (1412-1414), dedicated to the young heir to the throne of France, Louis of Guyenne. The present article aims to examine the concept of peace as an act by the Dauphin that De Pizan develops in this book, using two central topics: peace as a prophetic fact and the preservation of peace as a fact of government. In this sense, miracle and pedagogy are the two crucial processes of a theory of governability, to be used by the heirs to the French throne who pursue the construction and strengthening of a monarchical state.
