Summary "The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 09" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The volume provides a detailed narrative of events during the civil wars between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy, highlighting key battles, strategies, and pivotal moments in the Kingdom of France, as well as the ongoing conflicts with the English. It serves as a continuation of Sir John Froissart's chronicles, offering insights into the ongoing struggles for power and territory during a turbulent period in French history. The opening of this volume begins with the declaration of war by the King of France against the English, who have been accused of breaking the truce and committing violent acts against the French. It recounts how a miller played a critical role in the surprise capture of Verneuil, aiding the French forces led by notable leaders. This portion sets the stage for a detailed exploration of subsequent military campaigns, detailing the various sieges and battles that ensue across Normandy, the tactical maneuvers of both the French and English, and the shifting allegiances of key figures during the conflict. This engaging introduction immerses readers into the historical realities of medieval warfare and political intrigue in France. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
