Paulin Paris

Les grandes chroniques de France (6/6) selon que elles sont conservées en l'Eglise de Saint-Denis en France

"Les grandes chroniques de France (6/6)" by Paulin Paris is the final volume of a monumental French royal history compiled between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. This vernacular chronicle traces the Kingdom of France from the legendary Trojan origins through the Merovingian, Carolingian, and Capetian dynasties. Luxuriously illuminated manuscripts depict coronations, battles, and courtly ceremonies, their evolving artistic styles reflecting changing political concerns of royal and noble patrons across generations.
