About the author

Born around 1400 and dead on July 20, 1453, Enguerrand de Monstrelet was a French chronicler from Picardy, probably from a minor noble family. He is best known for the Chroniques de Monstrelet, a major narrative of events from about 1400 to 1444, written as a continuation of Froissart's famous chronicles.

Monstrelet lived and worked largely in Cambrai, where he held civic and administrative posts including roles connected with the cathedral chapter. His chronicle is especially valued for its detailed coverage of the later Hundred Years' War and for preserving documents and speeches that helped shape how later readers understood the period.

His writing is often linked with a Burgundian point of view, which makes it both historically rich and worth reading with care. Even so, it remains one of the most important firsthand-era sources for the political struggles and military campaigns of 15th-century France.
