"The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 10 [of 13]" is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century, translated by Thomas Johnes. This volume captures events during the tumultuous civil wars between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy, alongside the impact of English involvement in France. It serves as a detailed record of significant political and military developments in France and other regions during this period. At the start of the volume, the narrative unfolds with the king of France countermanding summons for the duke of Burgundy, shifting judicial proceedings related to the treason of the duke of Alençon to Vendôme. The volume opens with a focus on political alliances and trials, such as the king's eventual condemnation of Alençon to death for treasonous communications with the English. These chapters set the stage for ongoing struggles between noble factions and external threats, illuminating the intricate web of loyalties and conflicts that shaped France in the mid-15th century.
