The work provides a detailed chronicle of the civil wars between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy in France, as well as the changing power dynamics that led to significant events, including the English occupation of Paris and Normandy. It aims to document this tumultuous period in France's history while offering insights into the motivations and actions of various royal and noble figures involved. The opening of this volume recounts the political intrigues surrounding a failed peace negotiation involving cardinals and representatives of the French monarchy. Their attempts to mediate a truce between the warring factions in France lead to temporary agreements that ultimately fall apart due to opposition from influential figures, resulting in a continuation of hostilities. Alongside the complex negotiations, the narrative highlights the personal dynamics of notable characters, such as the Duke of Burgundy and the king, providing a rich backdrop to the violent civil unrest that follows. The path to conflict is further detailed through the recounting of skirmishes and power shifts in key cities, setting the stage for a deeply engaging exploration of political maneuvering and warfare in medieval France.
