Jean Froissart was a renowned French chronicler and poet who lived during the 14th century. His works provide invaluable insights into the medieval period, capturing significant historical events with vivid detail. The Jousts of St Inglevert, France, which took place between 1470-1475, is one such event depicted in his chronicles. The illuminations by the Master of the Harley Froissart beautifully depict scenes from Froissart's writings. One such illustration portrays Wenceslaus and Charles VI on an illuminated page, showcasing their regal splendor. Froissart's chronicles also delve into darker aspects of history. The Murder of the Archbishop of Canterbury is depicted through a colored engraving, highlighting the treacherous nature of those times. Similarly, engravings like The Beheading of Sir Silvester Budes and Execution of Sir Hugh Spencer reveal the brutal realities faced by individuals during that era. Aymerigot Marcel's execution at Paris is another somber scene captured in an engraving - a testament to Froissart's dedication to documenting both triumphs and tragedies alike. Froissart's Chronicle also sheds light on military conflicts like The Hundred Years War. A miniature from a 15th-century copy showcases this war-torn period with intricate details painted on vellum. Battle scenes come alive through gouache and gold paint on vellum in artworks like Battle Scene Between Archers and Cavalry. These illustrations transport us back to fierce clashes fought between knights clad in armor over cannons amidst casualties strewn across the battlefield. Visits between royalty were not uncommon during this time; Richard II visiting his uncle at Pleshy Castle is immortalized in an engraving by Froissart himself. Another notable visit captured is Isabella bidding farewell to King Edward III as they part ways with King Charles V at Ardres and Calais campsite - a poignant moment frozen in time.
