标题:Navigation atlantique de trois galères castillanes au début du XVe siècle d’après Le Victorial : de la chronique chevaleresque à l’histoire maritime
出版社:Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas
摘要:Beyond the chivalrous figure of Pero Niño and its military exploits during the naval operations conducted in the Bay of Biscay and English Channel in 1405 and 1406, the Victorial provides interesting information on the navigation of three Castilian galleys sent by Henry III to honour the military agreements with France. The cross-checking of these dispersed and fragmentary data allows to reconstruct a part of the universe in which ships and crews are evolving in the late Middle Ages and which usually escapes the historian for lack of writings left by the sailors crossing the seas of Ponant.
