The Chronicles of Froissart (1337-1410) are one of the greatest contemporary records of fourteenth-century England and France. Depicting the great age of Anglo-French rivalry from the deposition of Edward II to the downfall of Richard II, Froissart powerfully portrays the deeds of knights in battle at Sluys, Crecy, Calais and Poitiers during the Hundred Years War. Yet they are only part of this vigorous portrait of medieval life, which also vividly describes the Peasants' Revolt, trading activities and diplomacy against a backdrop of degenerate nobility. Written with the same sense of curiosity about character and customs that underlies the works of Froissart's contemporary, Chaucer, the Chronicles are a magnificent evocation of the age of chivalry.

Excerpt from Froissart's Modern Chronicles The true reason of my undertaking this book was for my amusement, to which I have ever been inclined, and for which I have frequented the company Of divers noblemen and privy councillors, as well in England as in Scotland and Ireland. And perhaps as this book is neither SO exactly nor so well written as such events as I Shall record require I pray to be excused if I have done injustice to any Of the noble lords, privy councillors, and gentlemen Of Parliament mentioned therein.
