Chroniques de J. Froissart, tome 11/13

A detailed chronological account of military and political events in northern France and Flanders during the early 1380s, concentrating on a royal campaign that includes river crossings, skirmishes, sieges, the submission of cities such as Ypres and Bruges, the battle of Roosebeke, the entry into Courtrai and the peace at Tournai. The narrative records troop dispositions, commanders, logistics, weather and local resistance while also noting negotiations, alliances and civic responses. Written in a close, often day-by-day reportage style, it combines battlefield description with courtly and municipal detail to trace the conflict’s military operations and diplomatic outcomes.
