The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of historical consciousness and historical memory on political action in the phases of crisis and consolidation of the French monarchy in the late Middle Ages. The project does not focus on the historiographical, publicist, and iconographic testimonies, which are usually analysed as means of propagating relevant historical images. Rather, the focus is on the written material of governmental and administrative bodies, which to a certain extent functions as a communicative interface between kingship and subjects: What concrete elements of historical memory can be grasped there - and which significance do they have for the administrative interaction of rulers and ruled?In order to answer these questions, selected archive holdings will be examined for concrete evidence of historical thought and argumentation. We are looking for concise historical excursus, references to historical founding figures, or comparisons between the present and the past that can be found, for example, in memoranda, petitions, or the files of local 'enquêtes'. The systematic collection of this scarcely considered source material represents important basic historical work. As a result, this research step opens up new access to elements of late medieval French historical consciousness and its political relevance, since it does not only analyse the concepts propagated by the monarchical power, but rather focuses on the interaction with the subordinates: From a bottom-up perspective, we examine which elements of historical memory the subjects take up in order to express their own goals vis-à-vis the royalty and its representatives.Building on this, we will examine in depth the complex relationship between monarchical conceptions of history and their archival echoes among various actors and population groups. To this end, the focus will be on the tradition of a specific governmental and administrative institution: the Chambre des comptes, one of the most important governing bodies of the kingdom. In the memorial books of this institution, we can survey in condensed form the interaction between the monarchy and its subjects. Here we can analyse in nuce how, in the interface between royal claims and the expectations of an emerging public sphere, the everyday practice of government was operated with set pieces of historical memory and how - perhaps - a monarchical politics of history developed in the process.

该项目的目的是研究历史意识和历史记忆对中世纪晚期法国君主制危机和巩固阶段政治行动的影响。该项目并不侧重于史学，公关和图像的证词，这通常是作为传播相关的历史形象的手段进行分析。更确切地说，重点是政府和行政机构的书面材料，这些材料在一定程度上充当了王权和臣民之间的沟通界面：在那里可以抓住历史记忆的哪些具体要素--它们对统治者和被统治者的行政互动有什么意义？为了回答这些问题，将审查选定的档案馆藏，以获得历史思想和论证的具体证据。我们正在寻找简明的历史资料，对历史创始人物的引用，或者可以在备忘录，请愿书或当地“调查”文件中找到的现在和过去之间的比较。系统地收集这些几乎没有考虑过的原始资料是重要的基础历史工作。因此，这一研究步骤为中世纪晚期法国历史意识及其政治相关性的要素开辟了新的途径，因为它不仅分析了君主权力传播的概念，而且关注与下属的互动：从自下而上的角度来看，我们研究了历史记忆中的哪些元素，以表达他们维斯皇室及其代表的目标。在此基础上，我们将深入研究君主制历史观与其在不同行为者和人口群体中的档案回声之间的复杂关系。为此，重点将放在一个具体的政府和行政机构的传统上：审计委员会，它是王国最重要的管理机构之一。在这个机构的纪念册中，我们可以以浓缩的形式考察君主与其臣民之间的互动。在这里，我们可以从本质上分析，在皇家的要求和新兴公共领域的期望之间的界面上，政府的日常实践是如何根据历史记忆的片段来运作的，以及历史上的君主政治是如何--也许--在这个过程中发展起来的。
