''The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 03 [of 13]'' is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work documents the turbulent civil wars in France between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy, detailing significant events that unfolded during the late Middle Ages, particularly the political and military affairs surrounding these noble factions. The narrative is rich with battles, alliances, and the machinations of various nobles, showcasing the complexity of power dynamics in historical France. At the start of this volume, the narrative picks up with initial conflicts between the French king's forces and those aligned with the Duke of Orleans and the Armagnacs. The accounts describe attempts by the king of France to quash his rivals, including skirmishes and significant military actions, as various noble captains move strategically across France. As the story unfolds, the positions of the various factions become more apparent, highlighting both internal treachery and shifting loyalties that ultimately complicate the political landscape. The blend of military history with personal valor creates a riveting examination of loyalty, power, and tragedy in medieval France.
