The Chronicles Of Froissart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162690865)

The Chronicles of Froissart is a historical book written by Jean Froissart. It is a comprehensive account of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, chronicling the events from 1325 to 1400. The book is divided into four parts and covers the reigns of Edward III of England and his son, the Black Prince, as well as the reigns of Philip VI, John II, and Charles V of France. Froissart was a contemporary of the events he describes, and his account is based on eyewitness testimony and interviews with key figures of the time. The book provides a detailed description of the battles, sieges, and diplomatic negotiations that took place during the war. It also includes vivid descriptions of courtly life, chivalry, and the social customs of the time. The Chronicles of Froissart is considered one of the most important historical works of the Middle Ages, providing a valuable insight into the political, social, and cultural life of Europe during the 14th century. It is also an important literary work, written in a lively and engaging style that has influenced later writers of historical fiction.IN the mean season while this treaty was, there fell in England great mischief and rebellion of moving of the common people, by which deed England was at a point to have been lost without recovery. There was never realm nor country in so great adventure as it was in that time, and all because of the ease and riches that the common people were of, which moved them to this rebellion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
