7、when he was only twenty;the first book was written in its earliest form by 1369;and he kept revising and enlarging the work to the end of his life.In 1361 he went to England,entered the Church,and attached himself to Queen Philippa of Hainault,the wife of Edward III,who made him her secretary and cl
8、erk of her chapel.Much of his life was spent in travel.He went to France with the Black Prince,and to Italy with the Duke of Clarence.He saw fighting on the Scottish border,visited Holland,Savoy,and Provence,returning at intervals to Paris and London.He was Vicar of Estinnes-au-Mont,Canon of Chimay,
9、and chaplain to the Comte de Blois;but the Church to him was rather a source of revenue than a religious calling.He finally settled down in his native town,where he died about 1410.Froissarts wandering life points to one of the most prominent of his characteristics as a historian.Uncritical and ofte
10、n inconsistent as he is,his mistakes are not due to partizanship,for he is extraordinarily cosmopolitan.The Germans he dislikes as unchivalrous;but though his life lay in the period of the Hundred Years War between England and France,and though he describes many of the events of that war,he is as fr
11、iendly to England as to France.By birth Froissart belonged to the bourgeoisie,but his tastes and associations made him an aristocrat.Glimpses of the sufferings which the lower classes underwent in the wars of his time appear in his pages,but they are given incidentally and without sympathy.His inter
12、ests are all in the somewhat degenerate chivalry of his age,in the splendor of courts,百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 35 卷 见闻与传奇 7/412 the pomp and circumstance of war,in tourneys,and in pageantry.Full of the love of adventure,he would travel across half of Europe to see a gallant feat of arms,a
13、coronation,a royal marriage.Strength and courage and loyalty were the virtues he loved;cowardice and petty greed he hated.Cruelty and injustice could not dim for him the brilliance of the careers of those brigand lords who were his friends and patrons.The material for the earlier part of his Chronic
14、les he took largely from his predecessor and model,Jean Lebel;the later books are filled with narratives of what he saw with his own eyes,or gathered from the lips of men who had themselves been part of what they told.This fact,along with his mastery of a style which is always vivacious if sometimes
15、 diffuse,accounts for the vividness and picturesqueness of his work.The pageant of medieval life in court and camp dazzled and delighted him,and it is as a pageant that we see the Middle Ages in his book.Froissart holds a distinguished place among the poets as well as the historians of his century.H
16、e wrote chiefly in the allegorical style then in vogue;and his poems,though cast in a mold no longer in fashion,are fresh and full of color,and were found worthy of imitation by Geoffrey Chaucer.But it is as the supreme chronicler of the later age of chivalry that he lives.“God has been gracious eno
17、ugh,”he writes,“to permit me to visit the courts and a places of kings,.and all the nobles,kings,dukes,counts,barons,and knights,belonging to all nations,have been kind to me,have listened to me,willingly received me,and proved very useful to me.Wherever I went I enquired of old knights and squires
18、who had shared in deeds of arms,and could speak with authority concerning them,and also spoke with heralds in order to verify and corroborate all that was told me.In this way I gathered noble facts for my history,and as long as I live,I shall,by the grace of God,continue to do this,for the more I la
19、bour at this more pleasure I have,and I trust that the gentle knight who loves arms will be nourished on such noble fare,and accomplish still more.”百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 35 卷 见闻与传奇 8/412 THE CAMPAIGN OF CRECYHOW THE KING OF ENGLAND CAME OVER THE SEA AGAIN,TO RESCUE THEM IN AIGUILLON THE
20、 king of England,who had heard how his men were sore constrained in the castle of Aiguillon,then he thought to go over the sea into Gascoyne with a great army.There he made his provision and sent for men all about his realm and in other places,where he thought to speed for his money.In the same seas
21、on the lord Godfrey of Harcourt came into England,who was banished out of France:he was well received with the king and retained to be about him,and had fair lands assigned him in England to maintain his degree.Then the king caused a great navy of ships to be ready in the haven of Hampton,and caused
22、 all manner of men of war to draw thither.About the feast of Saint John Baptist the year of our Lord God MCCCXLVI.,the king departed from the queen and left her in the guiding of the earl of Kent his cousin;and he stablished the lord Percy and the lord Nevill to be wardens of his realm with the arch
23、bishop of Canterbury,the archbishop of York,the bishop of Lincoln and the bishop of Durham;for he never voided his realm but that he left ever enough at home to keep and defend the real,if need were.Then the king rode to Hampton and there tarried for wind:then he entered into his ship and the prince
24、 of Wales with him,and the lord Godfrey of Harcourt,and all other lords,earls,barons and knights,with all their companies.They were in number a four thousand men of arms and ten thousand archers,beside Irishmen and Welshmen that followed the host afoot.Now I shall name you certain of the lords that
25、went over with king Edward in that journey.First,Edward his eldest son,prince of Wales,who as then was of the age of thirteen years or thereabout,注 1the earls of Hereford,Northampton,Arundel,Cornwall,Warwick,Huntingdon,Suffolk,and Oxford;and of barons the lord Mortimer,who was after earl of March,th
26、e lords John,Louis and Roger of Beauchamp,and the lord Raynold Cobham;of lords the lord of Mowbray,Ros,Lucy,Felton,Bradestan,百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 35 卷 见闻与传奇 9/412 Multon,Delaware,Manne,注 2Basset,Berkeley,and Willoughby,with divers other lords;and of bachelors there was John Chandos,Fit
27、z-Warin,Peter and James Audley,Roger of Wetenhale,Bartholomew of Burghersh,and Richard of Pembridge,with divers other that I cannot name.Few there were of strangers:there was the earl Hainault,注 3sir Wulfart of Ghistelles,and five or six other knights of Almaine,and many other that I cannot name.Thu
28、s they sailed forth that day in the name of God.They were well onward on their way toward Gascoyne,but on the third day there rose a contrary wind and drave them on the marches of Cornwall,and there they lay at anchor six days.In that space the king had other counsel by the means of sir Godfrey Harc
29、ourt:he counselled the king not to go into Gascoyne,but rather to set aland in Normandy,and said to the king:Sir,the country of Normandy is one of the plenteous countries of the world:sir,on jeopardy of my head,if ye will land there,there is none that shall resist you;the people of Normandy have not
30、 been used to the war,and all the knights and squires of the country are now at the siege before Aiguillon with the duke.And,sir,there ye shall find great towns that be not walled,whereby your men shall have such winning,that they shall be the better thereby twenty year after;and,sir,ye may follow w
31、ith your army till ye come to Caen in Normandy:sir,I require you to believe me in this voyage.The king,who was as then but in the flower of his youth,desiring nothing so much as to have deeds of arms,inclined greatly to the saying of the lord Harcourt,whom he called cousin.Then he commanded the mari
32、ners to set their course to Normandy,and he took into his ship the token of the admiral the earl of Warwick,and said how he would be admiral for the viage,and so sailed on before as governour of that navy,and they had wind at will.Then the king arrived in the isle of Cotentin,at a port called Hogue
33、Saint-Vaast.注 4 百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 35 卷 见闻与传奇 10/412 Tidings anon spread abroad how the Englishmen were aland:the towns of Cotentin sent word thereof to Paris to king Philip.He had well heard before how the king of England was on the sea with a great army,but he wist not what way he
34、would draw,other into Normandy,Bretayne or Gascoyne.As soon as he knew that the king of England was aland in Normandy,he sent his constable the earl of Guines,and the earl of Tancarville,who were but newly come to him from his son from the siege at Aiguillon,to the town of Caen,commanding them to ke
35、ep that town against the Englishmen.They said they would do their best:they departed from Paris with a good number of men of war,and daily there came more to them by the way,and so came to the town of Caen,where they were received with great joy of men of the town and of the country thereabout,that
36、were drawn thither for surety.These lords took heed for the provision of the town,the which as then was not walled.The king thus was arrived at the port Hogue Saint-Vaast near to Saint-Saviour the Viscount注 5the right heritage to the lord Godfrey of Harcourt,who as then was there with the king of En
37、gland.HOW THE KING OF ENGLAND RODE IN THREE BATTLES THROUGH NORMANDY WHEN the king of England arrived in the Hogue Saint-Vaast,the king issued out of his ship,and the first foot that he set on the ground,he fell so rudely,that the blood brast out of his nose.The knights that were about him took him
38、up and said:Sir,for Gods sake enter again into your ship,and come not aland this day,for this is but an evil sign for us.Then the king answered quickly and said:Wherefore?This is a good token for me,for the land desireth to have me.Of the which answer all his men were right joyful.So that day and ni
39、ght the king lodged on the sands,and in the meantime discharged the ships of their horses and other baggages:there the king made two marshals of his host,the one the lord Godfrey of Harcourt and the other the earl of Warwick,and the earl of Arundel 百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 35 卷 见闻与传奇 11/41
40、2 constable.And he ordained that the earl of Huntingdon should keep the fleet of ships with a hundred men of arms and four hundred archers:and also he ordained three battles,one to go on his right hand,closing to the sea-side,and the other on his left hand,and the king himself in the midst,and every
41、 night to lodge all in one field.Thus they set forth as they were ordained,and they that went by the sea took all the ships that they found in their ways:and so long they went forth,what by sea and what by land,that they came to a good port and to a good town called Barfleur,the which incontinent wa
42、s won,for they within gave up for fear of death.Howbeit,for all that,the town was robbed,and much gold and silver there found,and rich jewels:there was found so much riches,that the boys and villains of the host set nothing by good furred gowns:they made all the men of the town to issue out and to g
43、o into the ships,because they would not suffer them to be behind them for fear of rebelling again.After the town of Barfleur was thus taken and robbed without brenning,then they spread abroad in the country and did what they list,for there was not to resist them.At last they came to a great and a ri
44、ch town called Cherbourg:the town they won and robbed it,and brent part thereof,but into the castle they could not come,it was so strong and well furnished with men of war.Then they passed forth and came to Montebourg,and took it and robbed and brent it clean.In this manner they brent many other tow
45、ns in that country and won so much riches,that it was marvel to reckon it.Then they came to a great town well closed called Carentan,where there was also a strong castle and many soldiers within to keep it.Then the lords came out of their ships and fiercely made assault:the burgesses of the town wer
46、e in great fear of their lives,wives and children:they suffered the Englishmen to enter into the town against the will of all the soldiers that were there;they put all their goods to the Englishmens pleasures,they thought that most advantage.When the soldiers within saw that,they went into the castl
47、e:the 百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 35 卷 见闻与传奇 12/412 Englishmen went into the town,and two days together they made sore assaults,so that when they within saw no succour,they yielded up,their lives and goods saved,and so departed.The Englishmen had their pleasure of that good town and castle,an
48、d when they saw they might not maintain to keep it,they set fire therein and brent it,and made the burgesses of the town to enter into their ships,as they had done with them of Barfleur,Cherbourg and Montebourg,and of other towns that they had won on the sea-side.All this was done by the battle that
49、 went by the sea-side,and by them on the sea together.注 6 Now let us speak of the kings battle.When he had sent his first battle along by the sea-side,as ye have heard,whereof one of his marshals,the earl of Warwick,was captain,and the lord Cobham with him,then he made his other marshal to lead his
50、host on his left hand,for he knew the issues and entries of Normandy better than any other did there.The lord Godfrey as marshal rode forth with five hundred men of arms,and rode off from the kings battle as six or seven leagues,in brenning and exiling the country,the which was plentiful of everythi
