Famous quotes containing the words chronicles and/or characters:
“Our medieval historians who prefer to rely as much as possible on official documents because the chronicles are unreliable, fall thereby into an occasionally dangerous error. The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.”

“For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?”
