The chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 09 [of 13] : $b containing an account of the cruel civil wars between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy, of the possession of Paris and Normandy by the English, their expulsion thence, and of other memorable events that happened in the kingdom of France, as well as in other countries

This volume continues the grand narrative of France’s late‑medieval turmoil after Froissart, detailing the bitter rivalry of the houses of Orléans and Burgundy and the English occupation of Paris and Normandy. It follows a series of sieges, surrenders, and shifting alliances as French forces gradually push the invaders out. The chronicle’s year‑by‑year entries give a clear view of the political chaos and military drama of the era.

The translation preserves the brisk, report‑like tone of a medieval chronicler while remaining vivid for modern ears. Listeners can hear the clang of siege engines at Verneuil, the dramatic surrender of Rouen and Caen, and the daring raids of commanders such as the count de Dunois, all set against royal entries and diplomatic negotiations. Whether you’re a history buff or simply enjoy immersive storytelling, this concise yet richly detailed account draws you into a pivotal chapter of French history.
