	Froissart
		Froissart's Chronicles were frequently printed in the early centuries of print, in both French and, after Bourchier's translation of 1523-25, in English.
		Thomas Johnes (1748-1816) translated the whole of Froissart's Chronicles into modern English and had the translation printed in five volumes, from 1803-1810, at his own press.
		The translation was subsequently frequently reprinted, and itself became the subject of an epitome by H.P. Dunster, whose condensed version reappears frequently in both popular editions of Froissart aimed at adults, and in the many adaptations aimed at juvenile readers.

	FROISSART - LoveToKnow Article on FROISSART
		The personal history of Froissart, the circumstances of his birth and education, the incidents of his life, must all be sought in his own verses and chronicles.
		Froissart is tender with Guis reputation, mindful of past favors and remembering how great a lord he is. Yet the truth is clear that in his declining years the once gallant Gui de Blois became a glutton and a drunkard, and allowed his affairs to fall into the greatest disorder.
		Years afterwards, when Froissart writes the story of his one love passage, he shows that he still takes delight in the remembrance of her, loves to draw her portrait, and lingers with fondness over the thought of what she once was to him.

	Humanities Research Institute - The Jean Froissart Project
		Froissart also wrote a long, rhymed Arthurian romance entitled Meliador, and left behind him two extensive manuscripts incorporating other poetic works; all of the latter are now housed at the Bibliothèque Nationale.
		The chronicler's first attempt at history writing was in verse, but Froissart soon abandoned the medium in favour of prose, almost certainly at the behest of Jean le Bel, canon of Liège and author of a prose chronicle relating the early stages of the Hundred Years' War.
		Froissart drafted it (in two extant redactions) circa 1389-90 upon returning from his 1388 tour of the south-west of France.

		The Chronicles of Froissart (1337-1410) are one of the greatest contemporary records of fourteenth-century England and France.
		Written with the same sense of curiosity about character and customs that underlies the works of Froissart's contemporary, Chaucer, the Chronicles are a magnificent evocation of the age of chivalry.
		Froissart was gathering most of his information second-hand, primarily from noblemen of the era who were witnesses to the events, but whose viewpoints may have been colored to some degree by natural biases, and were sometimes themselves reporting information from what they had heard, not necessarily what they had seen.

	FROISSART
		The Chronicles of Sir John Froissart have, ever since their first publication, when they were circulated only through the medium of manuscripts, and deemed worthy presents to kings and princes, been so highly prized, as to make any apology for their reproduction in a novel, and, it is hoped, an improved form, unnecessary.
		The original divisions made by Froissart in his work are commented on and explained in the Essay by M. de St. Palaye, translated by Mr.
		Froissarts, and from these stores most of the illustrations have been drawn.
