{"product_id":"english-diplomatic-practice-in-the-pierre-chaplais-9781852853952","title":"English Diplomatic Practice in the Middle Ages","description":"Though many historians date the practice of diplomacy to the Renaissance, Pierre Chaplais shows that medieval kings relied on a network of diplomats and special envoys to conduct international relations. War, peace, marriage agreements, ransoms, trade and many other matters all had to be negotiated. To do this a remarkably sophisticated system of diplomacy developed during the Middle Ages. Chaplais describes how diplomacy worked in practice: how ambassadors and other envoys were chosen, how and where they traveled, and how the authenticity of their messages was known in a world before passports and photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Chaplais\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1852853956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852853952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.44w x 1.08d","brand":"Pierre Chaplais","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939013460223,"sku":"9781852853952","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_128f94df-ae51-4f04-a9ff-5b06a09c8624.jpg?v=1681438986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-diplomatic-practice-in-the-pierre-chaplais-9781852853952","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
