Les grandes chroniques de France (2/6) by Paulin Paris

"Les grandes chroniques de France (2/6)" by Paulin Paris is a chronicle written between the 13th and 15th centuries. This monumental work traces the history of French kings and their predecessors from the fall of Troy to 1461. Originally commissioned by Louis IX and composed in the vernacular by Primat of Saint-Denis, it transformed Latin chronicles into a continuous narrative of royal biographies. The chronicle evolved through generations of writers at Saint-Denis Abbey before being adopted by the royal court itself, capturing centuries of French monarchy.
