Chroniques de J. Froissart, tome 07/13 : $b 1367-1370 (Depuis l'expédition du Prince de Galles en Espagne jusqu'à la nomination de B. Du Guesclin à la charge de Connétable de France)

This volume presents a vivid snapshot of the turbulent years 1367‑1370, when the Hundred‑Year War spilled across the Pyrenees and the western Mediterranean. Chronicling the movements of English royalty, French nobles, and Iberian princes, it follows the Prince of Wales as he leads an expedition into Spain, navigating alliances, betrayals, and the harsh winter passes of the Pyrenees. The narrative is drawn from the original Middle French chronicle, preserving its authentic spellings while smoothing out printing errors, and includes extensive footnotes that guide modern readers through textual variations.

Readers encounter the tense meeting at Peyrehorade, where the English prince, the Navarrese king, and Don Pedro negotiate passage through hostile territory, and they witness the early career of Bertrand du Guesclin, a Breton knight who volunteers his forces to aid the claimant Don Enrique in the Castilian civil strife. The chronicle also records the coordinated movements of the English army through Dax, Mirand, and the narrow mountain defiles, offering a front‑row view of medieval logistics and the personal ambitions that drive them.
