Summary
Georges Duby: Battle of Buvina on July 27, 1214
In 1968, I was asked to write a book dedicated to one of those unforgettable days - July 27, 1214, for Gerard Walter's collection "The Thirty Days That Made France". Otto, Count Ferran of Flanders and Count Reno of Boulogne, and at the end of the day, thanks to the help of the Most High, he remained master of the battlefield: Emperor Otto escaped, the renegade counts were captured. It was, as has already been said and pointed out many times, a victory that struck the foundations of the French monarchy, because it obviously solidified the foundations of the future state. The Great Battle.
A unique event. Something that will be talked about for a long, long time.
