For centuries, Froissart's Chronicles have been recognised as the chief expression of the chivalric revival of the 14th-century kingdoms of England, France and Scotland. \u003cbr\u003eHis history is also an important source for the first half of the Hundred Years' War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"\u003e==================================\u003cbr\u003ePhilippe de Commines (also Commynes or Comines; Latin: Philippus Cominaeus; 1447 –  1511) was a writer and diplomat in the courts of Burgundy and France.\u003cbr\u003eHe has been called \"the first truly modern writer\" (Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve) and \"the first critical and philosophical historian since classical times\" (Oxford Companion to English Literature). \u003cbr\u003eNeither a chronicler nor a historian in the usual sense of the word, his analyses of the contemporary political scene are what made him virtually unique in his own time.\u003cbr\u003e================================== \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank You\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
