Step into the armour-clad courts and battlefields of fourteenth century Europe through one of the great voices of the age. The Middle Ages live again. In this sixth volume of Sir John Froissarts Chronicles of England, France, Spain, and the adjoining countries, translated by Thomas Johnes, readers encounter a vivid medieval historical chronicle of kings, nobles, and common soldiers as late Middle Ages England and its neighbours are torn by dynastic struggle and Hundred Years War history. Both a classic European history book and a medieval history primary source, it captures the rituals of medieval knights and chivalry alongside the brutal reality of medieval battles and campaigns. As a contemporary observer and careful compiler, Froissart offers an unparalleled window into court politics, diplomacy, and everyday experiences across Christendom, making this volume invaluable to medieval history students and a rich research resource for historians. His vigorous, scene-setting narrative has long been prized not only for the detail it preserves, but for the insight it gives into how people of the period understood power, honour, and faith. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Essential for readers of medieval history and Hundred Years War history, this handsome edition also suits collectors assembling the complete Froissart Chronicles or a broader medieval chronicles collection.
