Abstract

The aim is to remind the attraction exerted on French knights and nobles by the Reconquista (which could be assimilitated to the crusade), Following the 11th and 12th centuries, it was particularly stronger during the 14th and at the beginning of the 15th century, in spite of and because of the Hundred Years War, in particular with the Great Companies. During the 15th century, the Portuguese opened a new front with the conquest of Ceuta.
