Le tre verità: Philippe Mousket, Matthew Paris, l’Anonimo Ghibellino di Piacenza e una battaglia nel 1238

The essay analyzes three texts that describe the same battle fought near Piacenza in 1238: the work of the Italian Anonimo Piacentino, the Frenchman Philippe Mousket and the Englishman Matthew Paris. The analysis shows very different visions of chivalry, linked to different social and cultural contexts of the authors.
