The Chronicler of European Chivalry

"The Chronicler of European Chivalry" is an illuminating exploration of the life and work of Jean Froissart, the most celebrated historian of the late Middle Ages.

The book delves into the heart of the chivalric code, examining how the ideals of honor, bravery, and courtly romance shaped the European nobility. From the sweeping battles of the Hundred Years' War to the intricate ceremonies of the royal courts, Coulton brings to life the vibrant and often contradictory world that Froissart recorded with such detail. By bridging the gap between historical fact and literary narrative, this study illuminates the ways in which medieval society viewed its own triumphs and tragedies.

It remains a vital contribution to the study of medieval Europe, offering profound insights into the man who preserved the legacy of knighthood for future generations.
