Synopsis
Excerpt from Chaucer's First Military Service: A Study of Edward Third's Invasion of France in 1359-60
Such a treaty, dismembering their country as they felt, was ah horrent to the French people. A storm of indignation followed. The anger of the French 'showed itself in harsh treatment, even murder of English merchants in France and F landers.6 The States General, again assembled to consider these new conditions, preferred to endure their hard estate rather than lose so large a part of their country, even for the person of their king. Such an answer was therefore sent to England by the regent of France, Charles, duke of Normandy, and Edward on his part then resolved on war.
