This is a translation of the 'Memoires of Jacques du Clercq', published in 1823 in two volumes, edited by Frederic, Baron de Reissenberg. In his introduction Reissenberg writes: 'Jacques du Clercq tells us that he was born in 1424, and that he was a licentiate in law and a counsellor to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in the castellany of Douai, Lille, and Orchies. It appears that he established his residence at Arras. In 1446, he married the daughter of Baldwin de la Lacherie, a gentleman who lived in Lille. We read in the fifth book of his Memoirs that his father, also named Jacques du Clercq, had married a lady of the Le Camelin family, from Compiègne. His ancestors, always attached to the counts of Flanders, had constantly served them, whether in their councils or in their armies.' The Memoires cover a period of nineteen years beginning in in 1448, ending in in 1467. It appears that the author had intended to extend the Memoirs beyond that date; no doubt illness or death prevented him from carrying out this plan. As Reissenberg writes the 'merit of this work lies in the simplicity of its narrative, in its tone of good faith, and in a certain air of frankness which naturally wins the reader’s confidence.' Du Clercq ranges from events of national and international importance, including events of the Wars of the Roses in England, to simple, everyday local events such as marriages, robberies, murders, trials and deaths, including that of his own father in Book 5; one of his last entries.

Bourgeois de Valenciennes. It happened a long time after the matters spoken of above, about the feast of Saint John the Baptist in the year 1344, that King Edward of England sent forces into Gascony, where the duke of Normandy was waging war and had gained towns and castles. He sent there the Earl of Derby1, the Earl of Pembroke2, and my lord Walter of Mauny, with many others. These took and won the castle of Bergerac and more than forty towns and fortresses, and they pressed the French so hard that they defeated them. There were taken prisoner the Count of L’Isle, the Count of Valentinois, the Viscount of Murendon, the Viscount of Monder, the Viscount of Villemur, the Viscount of Bouquentin, my lord Charles of Poitiers, my lord Roger, brother of the Count of Comminges, and many other counts, viscounts, and some three hundred knights. The others were slain or drowned in a river called the Viane. This battle took place in the year 13453.

Note 3. The original text has 1344. The Battle of Bergerac was fought in August 1345. Froissart, Book 3, Chapters 210-211: "At sunrise the English, who had been ordered to make the assault by water in their ships, were fully prepared. The captains among them were the Earl of Pembroke and the Earl of Hereford. With them were many young knights and squires who had come there of their own eager will, to advance themselves in arms. In that fleet there was a great number of archers. They advanced swiftly and came up to a great barrier that stood before the palisade, which was soon broken down and cast to the ground. The men of Bergerac and the commonalty of the town perceived that in no way could they endure against that assault. They began to lose heart and went to the Count of L’Isle and to the knights who were there, and said to them: 'My lords, consider what you wish to do. We are in danger of being utterly lost. If this town is taken, we shall lose our goods and our lives as well. It would be better for us to surrender it to the Earl of Derby than to suffer greater harm.' Then the Count of L’Isle answered and said: 'Come, let us go where you say the danger lies, for we will not surrender it in this manner.' Thereupon the knights and squires of Gascony who were there came forward toward the palisades and set themselves to the defense with great courage. The archers, who were in their barges, shot so thickly and so straight that scarcely anyone could appear without putting himself in danger of being slain or grievously wounded. Within the town, together with the Gascons, there were some two hundred Genoese crossbowmen, who did them great service; for they were well shielded against the shooting of the English and sorely troubled the English archers throughout that day. There were many wounded on both sides. At length the English, who were in their ships, pressed the attack so vigorously that they broke down a great section of the palisade. When those of Bergerac saw the peril, they came forward and asked for a truce, that they might take counsel concerning their surrender. It was granted to them for the remainder of the day and the following night until sunrise, on condition that they should not strengthen themselves in any way. Thus each side withdrew to its lodgings. That night the barons of Gascony who were there held a great council, to determine how they might conduct themselves. When they had taken counsel, they had their horses saddled and their goods loaded, mounted, and departed about midnight. They rode toward the town of La Réole, which is not far from there. The gates were opened to them; they entered within and lodged and quartered themselves throughout the town."
On 25th June 1347 a English fleet commanded by William Bohun 1st Earl of Northampton [aged 37] and Laurence Hastings 1st Earl Pembroke [aged 28] defeated a French fleet that was intending to re-supply the besiege Calais precipitating the surrender of Calais two months later.
Annals of the six Kings of England by Nicholas Trivet
Translation of the Annals of the Six Kings of England by that traces the rise and rule of the Angevin aka Plantagenet dynasty from the mid-12th to early 14th century. Written by the Dominican scholar Nicholas Trivet, the work offers a vivid account of English history from the reign of King Stephen through to the death of King Edward I, blending political narrative with moral reflection. Covering the reigns of six monarchs—from Stephen to Edward I—the chronicle explores royal authority, rebellion, war, and the shifting balance between crown, church, and nobility. Trivet provides detailed insight into defining moments such as baronial conflicts, Anglo-French rivalry, and the consolidation of royal power under Edward I, whose reign he describes with particular immediacy. The Annals combines careful year-by-year reporting with thoughtful interpretation, presenting history not merely as a sequence of events but as a moral and political lesson. Ideal for readers interested in medieval history, kingship, and the origins of the English state, this chronicle remains a valuable and accessible window into the turbulent world of the Plantagenet kings.

Deeds of King Edward III by Robert of Avesbury. Very dear sir, you should know that on the day [25th June 1347] after Saint John's Day the wind, which had been from the west, turned toward the east at the hour of tierce. Because of this the earls of Northampton [aged 37] and Pembroke [aged 28], and the lords Morley, Talbot, and Bradeston, together with the two admirals and a great number of archers from their retinues and from the commons, boarded their ships and sailed toward Boulogne and Crotoy in order to observe the enemies who had arranged to provision Calais. Thus, they encountered, on this side of Crotoy about the hour of vespers, the said enemies, who were counted within sight of our men as forty-four vessels: hulks, galleys, and victualling ships loaded with various supplies. Some of those enemies who were at the rear threw their provisions into the sea and swam toward England, while others made for the port of Crotoy. The ten galleys abandoned their boats and their cargo and put out to the high sea. One hulk and twelve victualling ships which were ahead were so vigorously pursued that they ran as close to the shore as they could, and all the men leapt into the sea and drowned so completely that not a single person remained alive in their vessels. But on the following night, at daybreak, two boats came out of the town into the open sea, and they were quickly noticed by a mariner named William Roke together with a man called Stephen Hikeman. One of the boats returned to the town with great difficulty, but the other was driven ashore. In that boat was captured a great master who was the commander of the Genoese galleys and the leader of the Genoese who are inside the town, and with him seventeen others of the same company and about forty letters. But the said commander, before he was taken, tied with an axe a letter which carried an important message and threw it into the sea. That letter and the axe were found on the shore when the sea had receded, of which you will find a copy enclosed within this. And what I have already sent you concerning this matter before this hour, know that it is true, for I heard it from a knight who was within the ships."

Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. In the nineteenth year of the king's reign, Henry, Earl of Derby,1 later created Duke of Lancaster, and the Earls of Devon and Pembroke, as well as Lord Ralph Stafford; not yet Earl of Stafford but still a baron, and Lord Walter de Mauny, were sent to Gascony. There, having conquered walled towns and castles, they won many glorious battles with great bravery. The town of Aiguillon,2 which they captured by assault, was placed under the guardianship of Ralph of Stafford. Afterward, they moved against other towns, such as Bergerac, which due to its strength was called "the chamber of the French," and also Saint-Jean, La Réole, and many other large, strong, and well-fortified places, which they captured through great effort and perilous assaults. In these campaigns, the Duke of Lancaster fought in underground tunnels, which were being dug to undermine the towers and walls, and suffered fierce attacks from the valiant defenders, fighting hand-to-hand against the besieged. And, something unheard of before, he knighted both Gascon and English soldiers in those very tunnels. Indeed, by conquering towns, cities, castles, and fortresses numbering two hundred and fifty, he marched across a large part of Gascony and advanced as far as Toulouse. There, he invited the ladies of Toulouse and noble maidens, through letters, to dine with him, his fellow nobles, and Lord Bernard de Libreto,3 a loyal Gascon. But, with God's protection, he did no harm to the city or its inhabitants, except for instilling in them unbearable terror, as those who had been besieged later told me. The terror was such that even mendicant friars took up arms, and the Prior of the Carmelite order of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Toulouse, bearing a silver banner with a golden image of the Virgin, led the citizens of his quarter from the walls. He raised his banner in defence,4 and by this display, he stirred pious devotion in the duke and many in the army, though some mocked him as well.
Anno Domini MCCCXLV, regis XIX, Henricus comes Derbie, postea dux Lancastrie creatus, et comes Devonie et comes Pembrochie et dominus Radulfus, nondum comes Staffordie set baro, et dominus Walterus de Magne Vasconiam destinantur; ubi, conquisitis villis muratis et castris, multa gloriosa certamina fortiter vicerunt. Villam Daguiloun per insultum adquisitam deputabant custodie Radulphi Staffordie. Postea diverterunt se ad alias villas, ut Brigerak, vocatam pre sua fortitudine 'cameram Francorum,' et ad villam sancti Iohannis et de la Ruele et alias multas grandes et fortes et bene munitas, quas magnis laboribus et insultibus periculosis adquisierunt. Ibi dux Lancastrie, militans in fossatis subterraneis que pro diruendis turribus et muris effodiebantur, graves a virilibus defensoribus insultus paciebatur, et manualiter contra obsessos dimicavit, et, quod antea fuit inauditum, in eiisdem fossatis milites tam Vascones quam Anglicos effecit. Quippe villas, civitates, castra et fortalicia ducentas l. conquirendo, magnam partem Vasconie et usque Tolosam transequitavit, ubi dominas Tolosanas et virgines nobiles per suas literas ad convivandum secum et suis comitibus et domino Bernardo de Libreto, Aquitannico fideli, invitavit. Set, civitatem Deo conservante, nihil eius incolis malefecit, nisi quod terrorem intollerabilem, ut obsessi mihi retulerunt, eiis intulit; ita quod, religiosis mendicis ad arma compulsis, prior Carmelitarum beate Marie Tolose, sub vexillo argenteo ymaginem auream beate Virginis habente, de quarterio sui incolatus civibus prefectus, ostendens suum vexillum ad muros, per armorum errancias descriptum ducem ad devocionem piam et quam plures de exercitu, atque nonnullos ad derisionem, provocavit.
Note 1. Henry of Grosmont succeeded as earl of Lancaster, 22nd September 1345, and was created duke on the 6th March 1352. Hugh Courtenay succeeded as earl of Devon in 1341; died in 1377. Laurence de Hastings was created earl of Pembroke, 12th October 1339; died in 1348. Ralph de Stafford succeeded as baron Stafford in 1308, and was created earl on the 5th March 1351; died in 1372.
Baker is very confused as to the capture of the different places. Bergerac was first taken on the 24th August 1345, Aiguillon, early in December, La Réole, in January 1346. The Saint-Jean-d'Angely was not taken till September 1346. Derby did not go near Toulouse, although it is not impossible that some incursion was made thither. Baker says that he had his information from persons who were besieged there; but he was quite capable of confusing events, and he is most probably referring to the expedition of 1349.
Note 2. Aiguillon, is located at the confluence of Rivers Lot and Garonne. Bergerac is on the River Dordogne. La Réole and Saint-Jean-d'Angely are both on the Garonne downstream of Aiguillon.
Note 3. Bernard, sire d'Albret; died 1358.
Note 4. This seems to mean: by the procession of his banner, on which the picture of the Virgin stood for his armorial device.
