See also:MONSTRELET, ENGUERRAND DE (c. 1400-1453) , See also:French chronicler, belonged to a See also:noble See also:family of See also:Picardy. In 1436 and later he held the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:lieutenant of the gavenier (i.e. See also:receiver of the gave, a See also:kind of See also:- CHURCH

church See also:rate) at See also:Cambrai, and he seems to have made this See also:city his usual See also:place of See also:residence. He was for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time See also:bailiff of the See also:cathedral See also:chapter and then See also:provost of Cambrai. He was married and See also:left some See also:children when he died on the loth of See also:July 1453. Little else is known about Monstrelet except that he was See also:present, not at the See also:capture of See also:Joan of Arc, but at her subsequent interview with See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip the See also:Good, See also:duke of See also:Burgundy. Continuing the See also:work of See also:Froissart, Monstrelet wrote a Chronique, which extends to two books and covers the See also:period between 1400 and 1444, when, according to another chronicler, Matthieu d'Escouchy, he ceased to write. But following a See also:custom which was by no means uncommon in the See also:middle ages, a clumsy sequel, extending to 1516, was formed out of various See also:chronicles and tacked on to his work. Monstrelet's own writings, dealing with the latter See also:part of the See also:Hundred Years' See also:War, are valuable because they contain a large number of documents which are certainly, and reported speeches whichare probably, See also:authentic. The author, however, shows little See also:power of narration; his work, although clear, is dull, and is strongly tinged with the pedantry of its See also:century, the most pedantic in French See also:history. His somewhat ostentatious assertions of impartiality do not cloak a marked preference for the Burgundians in their struggle with See also:France.
Among many See also:editions of the Chronique may be mentioned the one edited for the Societe de l'histoire de France by M. Douet d'Arcq (See also:Paris, 1857-1862), which, however, is not very good. See A. See also:Molinier, See also:Les See also:Sources de l'histoire de France, tomes iv. and v. (Paris, 1904).
