The Chronicles of Froissart (Les Chroniques de Froissart), translated
by John Bourchier, Lord Berners, edited and reduced into one volume by
G. C. Macaulay, London, 1924.
Jean Froissart (c 1333 - c 1410) was one of the leading historians of the late Middle Ages. He traveled widely including England, Scotland, Italy and the Low Countries. He also accompanied Edward the Black Prince during his campaign at Castille. His chronicle covers the history of Western Europe from the early 14th century to 1400 and is considered a key primary source of the era.
