Jean Froissart — French Historian
Jean Froissart was a medieval French author and court historian, who wrote several works, including Chronicles and Meliador, a long Arthurian romance, and a large body of poetry, both short lyrical forms, as well as longer narrative poems.

His history is also an important source for the first half of the Hundred Years' War... (wikipedia)
