Whereas both works contain a Saracen figure who works as the agent conveying the state of Christian knighthood, the former gives an exalted portrait of Christian knighthood and the latter a critical one. The reasons for the change in attitude, from that of L'Ordene where knighthood is an order held in high regard, on a par with the clergy,

The astonishing fact which distinguished Christine from the majority of authors of her time was her critical stance towards the chivalric ethos of her time and her celebration of wisdom and prudence in warfare as opposed to the reckless acts of valour the chivalric code demands.

The book, drawing basically on the Italian lawyer Giovanni da Legnano's highly academic work De bello, de represaliis et de duello and making it comprehensible to a lay audience, became a guidebook on the conduct of warfare during the fifteenth century. In his work, Bouvet, before laying out the laws-or rather the unwritten codes and morals-that should be observed by knights and other men-at-arms in the conduct of warfare, starts with an explanation of the nature of warfare and why men fight battles with each other. The essential justification for warfare is the evidence found for its origins in the Bible. As war is not only permitted but also ordained by divine law, Bouvet maintains that war cannot be an evil thing. Instead, he views it as a mechanism of justice to put wrong to right. These ideas are also supported by natural law which presumes the tendency of everything to contradict its evil form. Hence, it is not the nature of war but only certain practices that makes it perceived as evil. This paper will look at Bouvet's view on the nature of warfare under these broad guidelines, and treat them as a part of the greater tradition of medieval thought that was fed simultaneously by both pagan and Christian writings. Particularly, it will try to visualise the late medieval outlook on the evil in warfare.
