The Chronicles of Froissart

The Hundred Year’s War comes to life as Froissart expounds upon the battles between England and France in The Chronicles of Froissart. Divided into four parts, this important, and often reprinted, work covers the exciting events of the campaign of Crecy, The Battle of Poitiers, Wat Tyler’s Rebellion, and The Battle of Otterburn. Intended for the upper classes of the Medieval World, the historical work relates "the honorable enterprises, noble adventures, and deeds of arms ... to the end that brave men taking example from them may be encouraged in their well-doing."
