The chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 06 [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

The sixth volume of this medieval chronicle picks up where Froissart left off, plunging listeners into the chaotic years of early 15th‑century France. It follows the death of King Charles VI and the uneasy ascent of his son, Charles the Dauphin, amid a kingdom torn apart by rival noble houses. From the very first pages, the narrative weaves together court intrigue, foreign diplomacy, and the looming threat of English conquest.

Through a series of vivid accounts, the work details the desperate sieges of towns such as Meulan, Dommart, and Crevant, as French commanders rally against both English forces and internal rivals. Alliances shift constantly—dukes of Burgundy, Bedford, and Brittany negotiate, clash, and sometimes reconcile in a fragile balance of power. Listeners will hear the voices of emissaries, knights, and even the Pope as the struggle for Paris and Normandy unfolds.
