1806 Froissart Chronicles Illustrations Hundred Years' War Medieval ChivalryThe 'Chronicles' of Jean Froissart have continually been perceived as an important work on medieval history for centuries, since its inception in the 14th-century. While some of the subjects covered are repetitive and insignificant, many topics are of utmost importance including famous battles, deaths of monarchs, and the Catholic Church Great Schism. According to Adams in the "Manual of Historical Literature,""Froissart might be called the great interviewer of the Middle Ages.

He learned the details of battles from both sides and from every point of view. He delighted in the minutest affairs of every cavalry skirmish,… Ler mais

1664 History of Henry IV of France Bourbon Perefixe FAMOUS Elzevier BEST ed Rare

Also known as Henry the Great, Henry IV was notable for being the first French king from the House of Bourbon. Hardouin de Perefixe's account of the life and reign of the 16th-century monarch is perhaps one of the best biographical sketches of Henry IV.
