Excerpt from Edward III& His Wars, 1327-1360: Extracts From the Chronicles of Froissart, Jehan Le Bel, Knighton, Adam of Murimuth, Robert of Avesbury, the Chronicle of Lanercost, the State Papers,& Other Contemporary Records The age of Edward III. is the age of chivalry. This is alike its praise and its condemnation. Those who care for history because of the bright pictures it brings before them, the moving incident, the gallant feat, will delight in the pages of Froissart and ask no more: while to others the warriors of the 14th century will seem too often mean or selfish; they will ask rather what was the life of the people or the development of the constitution. The extracts here collected will, it is hoped, be interesting to both classes. Battles and campaigns take up, it is true, the larger part of the book, but this is fitting; for it tells the story of the great struggle with the kings of France which had such far-reaching consequences to the two countries.
