Chivalric chronicler

Chivalric chronicler
Primarily Froissart and Monstrelet, the 'family' of historians discusses the political history of the realms of England and France during the troubled times of the Hundred Years War, told from the perspective of the knightly classes. As such, their accounts are often not completely factual, but are highly descriptive and probably representative of the perceptions of the knights of the day, or at the very least are sympathetic to their points view.
