Our most enduring image of medieval times is of gallant knights on fiery war horses fighting in tournaments and battles to win the admiration of virtuous ladies. The truth, however, is far grimmer.
14th century Europe was a bloody place. This world of perpetual conflict was vividly chronicled by the poet and historian Jean de Froissart. His first hand accounts of the battles and sieges during the war make him history’s first ever war correspondent. Join us as we use his writings to explore this often misunderstood period of history.
