The True Chronicles of Jean le Bel Volume 2 Chapters 61-109 1342-1361

The Chronicle of Jean le Bel, Volume 2 continues one of the most important fourteenth-century accounts of the early Hundred Years’ War. Written by the Liège chronicler Jean le Bel, this vivid narrative follows the fortunes of Edward III, Jean II of France, the Black Prince, the great nobles of France and England, and the soldiers, captains and companies who shaped the conflict. This volume covers some of the most dramatic events of the period, including the battles of Crécy and Poitiers, the siege and capture of Calais, the captivity of King John, the rise of the Jacquerie, the turmoil in Paris under Étienne Marcel and Charles of Navarre, the devastation caused by the free companies, Edward III’s great campaign of 1359–1360, and the negotiations leading to the Treaty of Brétigny. Jean le Bel’s chronicle is especially valuable for its lively detail, its interest in chivalry, warfare, politics and reputation, and its influence on later chroniclers, most famously Froissart. This English translation presents the text in clear, readable British English while preserving the force and character of the original narrative. The translation includes extensive notes to help the reader better understand Jean le Bel's text. Volume 2 also includes translated appendices drawn from royal and administrative records, many from the English Record Office, which illuminate Edward III’s campaigns in Brittany, the siege and occupation of Calais, naval preparations, military finance, appointments, safe conducts and related affairs.

Henry Chaplin A Memoir: Preface. PREFACE

It had always been my father's wish that some account should be made public of the part he had taken in the spheres of politics and sport. For this purpose certain letters and memoranda are extant— the latter in many cases dictated by himself, and from time to time amplified. A selection of this material has accordingly been prepared.

In presenting this record of the events of a long life, I must, in the first place, acknowledge with dutiful thanks the gracious permission of H.M. the King to publish certain letters written to my father by His late Majesty King Edward VII. and Her late Majesty Queen Alexandra.

Next, I must express my warm sense of obligation to many helpers. I am deeply indebted to my friend, Miss Rose Bradley, for the time and trouble she has so generously bestowed, not only in the co-ordination of the documents bequeathed by my father, but in the preparation of part of the narrative. An old friend of my father and myself, whose desire for anonymity I am bound to respect, is responsible for the section on Racing. My friend, Mr. John Buchan, has given me invaluable assistance in various sections, and has supervised with me the arrangement of the book.

For other services most kindly rendered by Helen Countess of Radnor [aged 79], the Duke of Portland [aged 68], Lord Lonsdale, Lord Charles Bentinck, Mr. Ernest Chaplin, Lieut.-Col. Charles Brook, Major E. C. Ellice, Sir Theodore Cook, Colonel A. Macauley, Mr. W. Danby, and Mr. Golding, I beg to express my sincere thanks.

I hope that this tribute of a daughter to the memory of her father may meet with some measure of approval from his many friends, and from the still wider circle to which for so many years he was a familiar figure.
