Orion's meetings - PIERRE COURROUX

The d'Albret, a family for History.
Pierre Courroux is a lecturer in medieval history at the University of Pau. After a thesis in medieval history at the University of Poitiers, he taught at the University of Amiens, then became a Newton International Fellow of the British Academy at the University of Southampton. He joins Pau in 2019. His research focuses on the study and editing of medieval chronicles and on the political and cultural history of the late Middle Ages. He is particularly interested in the Sires d'Albret in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the period when this famous family extended its domination in Gascony, before acceding to the throne of Navarre. A great raconteur, he follows in the footsteps of the d'Albret family like a chronicler of the time.
