"The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 06 [of 13]" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume details the tumultuous events surrounding the civil wars in France during the late medieval period, particularly the conflicts between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy, and includes the significant repercussions of the English occupation in regions such as Paris and Normandy. The narrative is framed within the historical context of the Hundred Years' War, providing readers with insights into the personal and political dynamics of the time. The opening of this volume begins with the death of Charles VI of France, which sets off a chain of events affecting the kingdom's leadership and territorial disputes. His son, the Dauphin Charles, is immediately informed of his father's passing and expresses deep grief. Following the king's death, plans for his coronation are quickly set in motion. The early chapters emphasize the atmosphere of unease among the nobility and common people alike, highlighting the political maneuvering that ensues, including engagements by both the English and Burgundians to assert control in various towns across France. This rich historical tapestry indicates the complex interplay of loyalty, power struggles, and military endeavors that characterized this period in French history.
