Sir John Froissart lived from about 1338 to 1410. He is considered one of the first journalists. He travelled widely in both England and the Continent and at one stage was secretary to Queen Philippa of England. He knew [[Geoffrey Chaucer]]. He spoke to eye witnesses of the events he chronicled, including the great actions at [[Battle of Sluys|Sluys]], [[Battle of Crecy|Crecy]], [[Battle of Poitiers|Poitiers]] and [[Calais]], and the commerce and diplomacy of the era. His works were first translated into English in 1523-25, and it is through them that we can “get the feel” of the “age of chivalry”.
