　　The Chronicles of Froissart (1337-1410) are one of the

greatest contemporary records of fourteenth-century England and

France. Depicting the great age of Anglo-French rivalry from the

deposition of Edward II to the downfall of Richard II, Froissart

powerfully portrays the deeds of knights in battle at Sluys, Crecy,

Calais and Poitiers during the Hundred Years War. Yet they are only

part of this vigorous portrait of medieval life, which also vividly

describes the Peasants' Revolt, trading activities and diplomacy

against a backdrop of degenerate nobility. Written with the same

sense of curiosity about character and customs that underlies the

works of Froissart's contemporary, Chaucer, the Chronicles are a

magnificent evocation of the age of chivalry.
