| Summary | "The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 07 [of 13]," is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume continues the narrative of the civil wars between the houses of Orléans and Burgundy during the tumultuous era of the Hundred Years' War, detailing significant events such as battles, sieges, and political intrigues that shaped France during this period. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the various military confrontations that define the narrative. It begins with the surprise attack on the castle of St. Martin, where the forces of Sir John de Luxembourg encounter fierce resistance, resulting in the capture of several knights and the death of key leaders. Several chapters follow that introduce additional skirmishes, including the imprisonment of prominent French captains and an account of a combat rivalry in Arras. The events unfold against the backdrop of shifting allegiances, territorial conquests, and the overarching struggle for power, culminating in a vivid portrayal of the sociopolitical landscape of 15th-century France.
