Until now, the chronicles of Fernão Lopes (c. 1380-c. 1460) have only been available in critical editions or in partial translations.

Lopes had a keen eye for detail and a perspective, especially attuned to the common people, and his chronicles provide an invaluable source for the history of Western Europe in the later Middle Ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume IV of the first complete English translation of the chronicles of Fernão Lopes chronicles the Battle of Aljubarrota (1385), which secured the throne for João I, his marriage to Philippa of Lancaster, and his reign up to 1411.
