Cette histoire qui a fait l'Alsace #5

Volume 5 of *Cette histoire qui a fait l'Alsace* covers the turbulent period from 1270 to 1477, when Alsatian towns fought fiercely to assert their independence — a rich chapter of medieval history brought to life by Marie-Thérèse Fischer, Marcel Uderzo, and Christophe Carmona. The cover pulls you straight into the era: a determined figure in medieval dress raises red-and-white bannered standards before a backdrop of half-timbered Alsatian buildings, while a strip of vignettes along the right-hand side hints at bustling town scenes, candlelit interiors, and the daily life of a region in flux. Published by Éditions du Signe in 2010, this is a handsome entry in a series that makes regional French history genuinely compelling.
