65-560: A rounded image of how a professional soldier thought about and practiced war at the end of the Middle Ages. Le Jouvencel has been widely quoted by modern scholars of chivalry and medieval warfare. Traditionally, this has focussed on his writings on the nature of military life. He viewed the life of arms to be ennobling in itself and even to be a route to salvation. He is perhaps most quoted for his view on comradeship in arms You love your comrade so much in war. When you see your quarrel
78-413: Is just and your blood is fighting well, tears rise to your eyes. A great sweet feeling of love and pity fills your heart on seeing your friend so valiantly exposing his body to execute and accomplish the command of our Creator.

130-661: The work should have a didactic purpose for young noblemen. He therefore uses an Aristotelian structure to his work, dealing with the hero's career in three parts, which reflect three elements of governance or discipline: The young soldier learns about ethics and self-discipline, the military commander learns leadership of men and the regent learns the governance of a country. Le Jouvencel joins several medieval military literature traditions: Chivalric romance, treatises on chivalry and manuals on warfare.
