The Change in the Traditional Paradigm of the Development of the Foreign Policy of the English Kingdom in 1477-1478/ Изменение традиционной парадигмы развития внешней политики Английского королевства в 1477-1478 гг., 2024

На протяжение нескольких столетий традиционной парадигмой развития внешней политики Англии являлось противостояние с Францией, в котором Англия опиралась на континентальных союзников. В XV веке таким союзником становится Бургундское герцогство. Однако в 1477 г. погибает бургундский герцог Карл Смелый, что приводит к войне за Бургундское наследство. Действия Эдуарда IV в отношение Франции и Бургундии в этот сложный период были крайне неоднозначны, а их оценка в дальнейшем вызвала оживленные дискуссии в исторической науке. Исследователи упрекали Эдуарда IV в алчности и боязни потерять французскую пенсию. Более того, существует мнение, что Эдуард IV имел намерение поделить ослабленное герцогство Бургундское с Людовиком XI. В настоящей статье мы постараемся выяснить, насколько справедливыми являются эти упреки, а также рассмотреть иные мотивы короля Эдуарда IV в изменении внешней политики Англии, исходя из итогов французской экспедиции 1475 г.
The Treaty of Picquigny in 1475 in the estimates of contemporaries, 2024

The number of troops that went on a campaign and its financing, it would seem, obliged the organizers of the expedition to achieve significant results. However, the expedition ended without starting. Its result was the signing of the treaty of Picquigny, which not only actually determined the vector of further development of the foreign policy of the English Kingdom in the last quarter of the XV century, but also caused an ambiguous reaction from contemporaries. The most interesting thing to consider in this study is the assessment of the contract by the English society, which was conditionally divided into opponents (critics) and beneficiaries of the agreement in Picquigny. Among the consistent opponents, the Duke of Gloucester and Baron Hastings can be distinguished, whose knightly positions did not allow compromise with the traditional enemy. The position of the Burgundian side is presented in the form of testimonies of the Burgundian knights Jean de Haynin and Olivier de La Marche, as well as the court chronicler Jean Molinet. The main source for reconstructing events from the French side is the memoirs of Philippe de Commynes, a confidant of Louis XI. At the same time, a critical assessment of the treaty from the French side can be found in the records of the chronicler Thomas Basin.

"Великое предприятие" Эдуарда IV было завершено без единого сражения, и заключение столь спорного соглашения вызвало неоднозначную оценку у современников, что представляет большой интерес для исследования.

English Kingdom in the second half of the XV century was the French
expedition of Edward IV in 1475. The number of troops that went on a
