Excerpt from Narratives of the Expulsion of the English From NormandyThere could be no more appropriate accompaniment to the volumes which treat of "The Wars of the English "in France, " which have already appeared in the present series of Chronicles, than the works now given to the public. They contain authentic materials for an account of the final issue of the invasion of Henry the Fifth, for they enable us to trace, step by step and day by day, the expulsion of our countrymen from Normandy and their retreat homewards.The present volume consists of the following pieces: -"Robertus Blondelli de Reductione Normanniæ."Robert Blondel, the author of this work, was descended from a family which had settled in Normandy, between Cherbourg and Valognes, as arly as the thirteenth century. Upon the invasion of France by Henry the Fifth, his relatives refused to submit to the conqueror, and they were consequently deprived of their property and driven into exile.
