The chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 07 [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

This volume offers a vivid, day‑by‑day portrait of one of the most turbulent periods in medieval France. Beginning in the early fifteenth century, the narrative follows the fierce rivalry between the houses of Orléans and Burgundy, the English seizure of Paris and Normandy, and the desperate struggles to reclaim those lands. Through the eyes of commanders, nobles, and ordinary townsfolk, listeners hear the clashing swords, shifting alliances, and the relentless quest for power that defined the era.

Interwoven with accounts of sieges, betrayals, and diplomatic overtures, the chronicle captures the human side of war—captives taken in battle, the fate of a condemned maid of Orléans, and the uneasy peace negotiations that briefly flicker amid the chaos. Rich in detail yet accessible in tone, this historical record invites you to step into the medieval battlefield and experience the stakes, the drama, and the relentless drive of a kingdom at war.
