‘Propositum Meum Retardarunt’
View through CrossRef
Bodin’s experiences in the Netherlands and in England as a member of Anjou’s entourage are recounted, experiences which illustrate both his reputation as a man of learning and his risky explorations of preferment by other than French potentates. His official role in Laon as king’s proctor is described, as is the deteriorating political situation around him notwithstanding Henri III’s efforts at governmental reform. His conduct during the period of League control and consequent siege of Laon is assessed, and his apparent changes of sides are analysed in the light of the arguments presented in Lettres published over his name. The chapter’s final section turns to the programmes which Bodin developed humanist-style for physical, academic, and moral education, recommended to a German prince and to a nephew, and implemented in the upbringing of his own two sons.
