"The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 04 [of 13]" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume continues the detailed narrative of the civil wars in France, focusing on the political and military conflicts between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy, as well as the external pressures from the English. Through the recounting of alliances, battles, and political machinations, it presents a vivid picture of the tumultuous period of the early 15th century. The beginning of this volume sets the stage for the ongoing strife in France, as the duke of Burgundy is depicted as a significant antagonist, amassing forces and engaging in treachery against the king of France. In the opening chapters, we see the aftermath of the duke of Burgundy's recent activities in Paris, including the repression of the populace and the proclamation of royal edicts aimed at countering his influence. The narrative unfolds with detailed accounts of various skirmishes, politically charged edicts, and the gathering of armies, indicating a brewing storm of conflict that would impact the future of the kingdom. Thus, the opening portion establishes a tense atmosphere woven with betrayal, loyalty, and the weight of royal decrees, setting the groundwork for the unfolding history in subsequent chapters.
