Anne de France, daughter of Louis XI, shared with her father a taste for hunting and animals.

But what did the practice of hunting mean at the turn of the Middle Ages and modern times?

Lydwine SCORDIA, Associate of History and Doctor of Medieval History, is a research professor at the University of Rouen Normandy, a specialist in political and cultural history in the late Middle Ages.
