"Les grandes chroniques de France (4/6)" edited by Paulin Paris is part of a monumental vernacular history of France compiled between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. This official royal chronicle traces French history from the mythical Trojan origins through the Merovingian, Carolingian, and Capetian dynasties. Created initially for King Saint Louis and extended by his successors, the work survives in approximately 130 manuscripts, many lavishly illuminated with scenes of battles, coronations, and courtly ceremonies that reveal the evolving political concerns of French monarchy.
