The medieval court historian Jean Froissart is famous today for writing the âChroniclesâ, a voluminous and detailed account of the fourteenth century, which concerns the âhonourable adventures and feats of armsâ of the Hundred Yearsâ War. As a scholar, Froissart lived among the nobility of several European courts and he travelled widely.
