DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Jean Froissart was born in 1337 and served under Philippa of Hainault, the Queen of England. He travelled widely and was welcomed in many of the great courts of Europe. His chronicles cover the years 1322 until 1400 and are a leading contemporary source for the Hundred Years' War. The early part draws mainly on the account of Jean Lebel, later sections are compiled from his own experiences and information drawn from eye witnesses. This edition, originally published in 1910, contains selections from an early translation by Sir John Bourchier. It includes the Campaign of Crecy, the Battle of Poitiers, Wat Tyler's rebellion and the Battle of Otterburn. Editorial comments have been moved to footnotes to improve readability and the current editor has added definitions of obscure words, and a comprehensive index.

He was thus able to draw directly on the verbal accounts of the Crécy campaign given to him by soldiers from Hainault who had fought on both sides; and his description of warfare in Scotland is the most realistic account of what it was like to be on campaign that survives from this period.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.
