What it is
A chronicle of the Hundred Years' War by a cleric who travelled to interview participants, including the peasant risings, the plague, and the schism as they were experienced.
Why it lasted
The great narrative source for fourteenth-century Europe, written by a churchman more interested in chivalry than in theology.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
