Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as a canon, he lived in princely style, with a retinue of two knights and forty squires, and he wrote at the request of John of Hainault, the uncle of queen Philippa. He was thus able to draw directly on the verbal accounts of the Crécy campaign given to him by soldiers from Hainault who had fought on both sides; and his description of warfare in Scotland is the most realistic account of what it was like to be on campaign that survives from this period.

Download or read book Chronicles written by Jean Froissart and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1978-04-27 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chronicles of Froissart (1337-1410) are one of the greatest contemporary records of fourteenth-century England and France. Depicting the great age of Anglo-French rivalry from the deposition of Edward II to the downfall of Richard II, Froissart powerfully portrays the deeds of knights in battle at Sluys, Crecy, Calais and Poitiers during the Hundred Years War. Yet they are only part of this vigorous portrait of medieval life, which also vividly describes the Peasants' Revolt, trading activities and diplomacy against a backdrop of degenerate nobility. Written with the same sense of curiosity about character and customs that underlies the works of Froissart's contemporary, Chaucer, the Chronicles are a magnificent evocation of the age of chivalry.

Book excerpt: The huge ceramics kiln had been turned off in the middle of the night, before it had finished firing, because of a mysterious phone call. Once opened, something was discovered inside the kiln, along with the under-glazed pots...human bones. Jean and her artist husband are soon involved in finding the murderer and finding out why the kiln was the weapon. It will take NASA, computers, secret glazes, and a strange funeral to guide Jean in solving the crime. But it will also lead her deeper into danger. The circumstances of the murder of a begonia acquaintance point to a close friend as the main suspect. Jean has to prove this friend didn't do the poisoning. Secret trips to Haiti, The Vodon, and the appearance of a fancy new begonia lead Jean to the killer. Can she get to the police before the killer finds her? There is one more mystery before Jean's done.
