| Summary |
"Chroniques de J. Froissart, tome 10/13 : 1380-1382" by Gaston Raynaud is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume chronicles events in France and England during a tumultuous period between the reign of Charles VI and the military engagements in Flanders. The narrative is likely rich with detail, focusing on the political and military intricacies of the time, including significant battles, treaties, and the changing allegiances among nobles. The opening of this chronicle sets the stage for significant historical events that transpired from 1380 to 1382. It describes the aftermath of King Charles V's death, highlighting the challenges faced by the English and French armies, specifically detailing the siege of Nantes and the leadership struggles involving the Comte de Buckingham and the Duc de Bretagne. As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to key figures, including the young King Charles VI, his regents, and various military leaders, against the backdrop of shifting political landscapes and ongoing wars. This beginning establishes both the complexity and significance of the chronological events that will be explored in greater depth throughout the volume. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
