| Summary |
"Chroniques de J. Froissart, tome 06/13 : 1360-1366" by Siméon Luce is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the chronicles of the Hundred Years' War, detailing significant events and figures surrounding the Treaty of Brétigny and its aftermath. The text primarily focuses on the negotiations for peace between France and England amidst ongoing conflicts during this tumultuous period. At the start of the chronicle, the author elaborates on the context of the Treaty of Brétigny, emphasizing the tensions between King Edward III of England and the French regent, Charles, Duke of Normandy. The narrative documents the peace negotiations initiated by French envoys, Edward’s fierce resistance to peace, and divine omens perceived during the campaign. The descriptions of military movements, weather events, and political maneuvering highlight the complexities of diplomacy during wartime, setting the stage for the unfolding political landscape in the following chapters.
