| Summary |
"Chroniques de J. Froissart, tome 11/13 : 1382-1385" is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work details the significant events during a critical period of the 14th century, focusing on the socio-political landscape in France and Flanders, particularly the conflicts stemming from the Hundred Years’ War. This volume encompasses the narrative surrounding the reign of King Charles VI and pivotal battles like Roosebeke, highlighting the complexities of feudal alliances and warfare. The opening of this volume lays the groundwork for understanding the tumultuous backdrop of the time—King Charles VI is eager to campaign against the rebellious Flemish cities, and we see preparations for military engagements unfold meticulously. Froissart introduces various key figures, including the king and his military leaders, as they strategize amidst adverse weather and logistical challenges. The early chapters depict the buildup to the battle, illustrating both the French army's determination and the opposition's resolve, thereby setting the stage for the significant clashes that shape this historical narrative.
