"The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 11" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume narrates the tumultuous events during the civil wars between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy, detailing the English possession of Paris and Normandy, and their subsequent expulsion. The text captures significant moments and figures in French history, as it provides a vivid portrayal of political intrigues, battles, and the power struggles of the time. The opening of this volume introduces the king's gratitude towards the Parisians for their loyalty, as he confirms their privileges and reinstates Sir Robert d'Estouteville as provost of Paris. It describes the king's maneuvers in Normandy, his appointments of various officials, and the unrest caused by differing factions within his realm. Notably, the chapter highlights the king's emphasis on loyalty and the administration of justice, all while preparing for upcoming military engagements against various threats, including the English and the Burgundians. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the conflicts and political machinations that define this critical period in French history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
