This volume covers the tumultuous civil wars in France between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy, the tumultuous English presence in Paris and Normandy, and other significant historical events from 1400 to 1422. The chronicles serve not only as a narrative of events but also provide insight into the characters involved, such as King Charles VI and prominent nobles of the time. The opening of the work introduces readers to the backdrop of the history being chronicled and sets the tone for the political and military strife that follows. The prologue emphasizes the duty of historians to recount the valorous deeds of knights and men, establishing a framework for the detailed historical narrative. The first chapter begins with the reign of King Charles VI, highlighting his early successes before detailing the onset of his madness, which led to a power struggle among the princes of the blood royal. This pivotal moment marks the genesis of the ensuing conflicts that will dominate Monstrelet's chronicles, unveiling the complex interplay of personal ambition and national heritage during this turbulent period.
