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.
