Volume III of the first complete English translation of the
chronicles of Fernão Lopes chronicles the War of Succession
(1383-1385), the rise of the House of Avis under João I, and his
acclamation by the Cortes in Coimbra. Until now, the chronicles of
Fernão Lopes (c.1380-c.1460) have only been available in critical
editions or in partial translations. Comparable to the works of
Froissart in France or López de Ayala in Spain, the chronicles
provide a wealth of detail on late fourteenth-century politics,
diplomacy, warfare and economic matters, courtly society, queenship
and noble women, as well as more mundane concerns such as food,
health and the purchasing power of a fluctuating currency. Lopes
had a keen eye for detail and a perspective especially attuned to
the common people, and his chronicles provide an invaluable source
for the history of Western Europe in the later Middle Ages.
