Abstract

The book of Deuteronomy undoubtedly occupies an important space amongst the books of the Pentateuch, and which greatly influenced the political speech during the Middle Ages.  It is in it that the ideas of Israel and its people as chosen by God and promised land to appear more clearly. This paper seeks to analyse the elements of Deuteronomy which appear in chronicles of the 15th century, especially the ones related to Lancastrian kings, and how a speech over the Battle of Agincourt within The Hundred Years War produced an idea of realm and identity based on the discourses of the Old Testament. The Middle Ages formulated imaginary spaces, and therefore England and its kings are represented as a new Israel, as well as their kings. The monarchs especially are seen as chosen of God, guide of the people towards glory and victories. Which guarantees a materiality of aspects present in Christian imaginary, taken to the chronicles. More than a representation, England is a new Israel and its people the chosen ones.
