Jean Froissart bol jedným z najvýznamnejších kronikárov stredovekého Francúzska. Jeho Kroniky sú po stáročia uznávané ako hlavné vyjadrenie rytierskeho obrodenia v Anglickom a Francúzskom kráľovstve 14. storočia. Jeho história je tiež jedným z najdôležitejších zdrojov pre prvú polovicu storočnej vojny, pričom zachytáva ducha a udalosti svojej doby s pozoruhodnou podrobnosťou.
Výbor z prvních dvou knih rozsáhlého díla francouzsky píšícího kronikáře věnovaného anglo-francouzskému válečnému konfliktu, stoleté válce ve 14. a 15. století – zahrnuje léta 1325–1382. V pestrém kaleidoskopu soubojů, bitev, dvorských intrik a lidových povstání přibližuje politické a válečné dění v západní Evropě a přitom neopomíjí ani dějiny českého království za panování Jana Lucemburského, Karla IV. a Václava IV.
