The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 03 [of 13] : 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

A sweeping chronicle of France’s most turbulent decades, this volume plunges listeners into the bitter rivalry between the houses of Orléans and Burgundy. From the king’s desperate campaigns against the Armagnac factions to the dramatic seizure and later expulsion of English forces from Paris and Normandy, the narrative captures the relentless clash of ambition, loyalty, and survival. The author’s eye‑for‑detail brings battlefield skirmishes to life—knights charging beneath fluttering banners, desperate pleas for rescue, and the brutal toll on villages caught in the crossfire.

Beyond the roar of combat, the work offers a vivid portrait of medieval politics and daily hardship. Readers hear the strategic maneuvers of captains, the ruthless raids on rival territories, and the personal bravery of figures like the daring bastard of Bourbon. With its rich, contemporary language and unflinching honesty, the chronicle serves as both a gripping story and a valuable window onto a pivotal era in French history.
