Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Documents Relating to the Hostages of John, King of France: And the Treaty of Brétigny, in 1360 It would be difficult to select any one period of the 14th century throughout its entire length, less rich than another in point of incident, more fertile or more varied in eventful issues, or which, more than another contributed to the history of chivalry; indeed, the chronicles of Froissart, and contemporary historians make it read like a fable of knight-errantry or romance. That portion of the century embraced by the following particulars, has, therefore, not been specially selected, but has been entirely determined by the Norman-French documents of a certain period, extending little beyond fifteen years from the battle of Poitiers, or less than one-fourth of it; nevertheless, though the evidences forming the ground-work of the memoir, are in themselves, of no great length, the subject to which they refer, while not, perhaps, incomplete in certain matters of detail, might still, for the above reasons, have been much more exhaustively treated. Many points, even in so short a narrative, will be suggestive as well to the compiler, as to the student of history, tending to confirm tradition in much that is true, and to rectify it in much that is unfounded.
