About This Book
A contemporary chronicle recounts political and military events in the early 1380s, detailing English operations in Brittany, the siege and defense of Nantes, diplomatic negotiations between commanders and regional rulers, and skirmishes and troop movements across contested provinces. It also describes the coronation ceremony of the young French monarch, the allocation of governance among leading nobles, and episodes of popular unrest in England. The narrative combines chronological reportage of battles and sieges, accounts of envoys and treaties, lists of participating magnates, and ceremonial and logistical detail to present a continuous record of warfare, diplomacy and domestic disturbance during this turbulent period.
