Perhaps the first war correspondent in the modern sense, Froissart takes you to the front lines of the Hundred Years' War for interviews with the combatants in such historic struggles as the Siege of Calais (1347) and the Battle of Poitiers (1356), as well the birth and death of England's King Richard II. He also provides a revealing look into the political intrigue behind the castle walls.
