Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories From the Old French Chronicles: Retold in Modern English Time to read as much as I would like having been given to me in later years, I took up several of the French Chroniclers who have told of events in France in the 14th to the 17th centuries, from the day of King Charles IV and Du Guesclin to that of Louis XIV and De Pontis. Some of these chroniclers wrote biographies, some autobiographies, some histories, some journals. I found in them many episodes, interesting or amusing, whose full details perhaps made them inappropriate for the pages of the historian. Of these I have selected for translation the seventeen which follow, - I have thought they would not only be interesting as stories, but as giving, to those who read them, views of the life and manners of the camp and court of the time, given at first hand by writers, who took part in, or had personal knowledge of the events. And that a story teller can say, "All this I knew and part of this I was," always gives to his tale an added interest.
