Charles (IV) the Fair (1294–1328)
)
Charles IV, king of France, receiving envoys from England. He reigned from 1322 to 1328, and was known as ‘the Fair’. The picture is dated 1400 and comes from the Chroniques of Jean Froissart, the 14th-century French historian. These chronicles were written between 1369 and c. 1400, and cover European events during the years 1325 to 1400. Early sections tended to favour the English, probably because Froissart was secretary to the English queen between 1361 and 1369.
