Summary "The Chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Vol. 12 [of 13]" is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. This volume chronicles significant events during the late 15th century, specifically focusing on the reign of King Charles VIII of France and the political landscape surrounding the Wars of Italy. The narrative details battles, political maneuvers, and notable figures of the time, providing insights into the civil wars between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy, as well as France's interactions with other European powers. At the start of the tome, we witness King Charles VIII’s triumphal entry into Naples and his military engagements there. The initial chapters delve into the siege of castles, the king's strategies, and the interactions with both loyalists and adversaries. The text vividly portrays the fortification efforts and dynamics of power in Naples, including the king's elaborate ceremonies and the ensuing negotiations as he consolidates his rule. Through descriptions of battles, courtly life, and the elemental struggles for power, the opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the complex historical backdrop of France in the late 15th century.
