On the Road in the Hundred Years War Steven Muhlberger

"I wrote all down, whether it was late or early, that posterity might have the advantage of it, for there is nothing like writing for the preservation of events." Jean Froissart was a cleric, a poet and historian whose chief subject was the Hundred Years War. Froissart's writings were very popular with readers in his own lifetime, and have been ever since. In this volume Steven Muhlberger, professor of history, has collected excerpts from Froissart's Chronicles which will show you why Jean is known as "the Secretary of Chivalry."
