Pozdní fáze historiografické kariéry Jeana Froissarta spadá do devadesátých let 14. století, kdy se ve Francii vyostřoval boj mezi příbuznými mentálně chorého krále Karla VI., především Filipem Burgundským a Ludvíkem Orleánským. Froissartovy Kroniky byly v burgundském prostředí 15. století velmi oblíbené a často opisované. Někteří badatelé proto usoudili, že Froissart sdílel proburgundskou orientaci, čemuž se zdála nasvědčovat též podpora, které se těšil ze strany Albrechta Bavorského a jeho syna Viléma, zetě Filipa Smělého. Analýza pasáží spojených s burgundským vévodou i s rodinou Ludvíka Orleánského však ukazuje, že kronikář ve skutečnosti neobhajoval zájmy ani jedné z těchto politických stran či jakékoli jiné formy kolektivní identity. Jeho úsudek byl veden zejména osobními sympatiemi, a to bez ohledu na závislost na konkrétních urozených mecenáších či jeho vlastních pocitech sounáležitosti.
Late stage of Jean Froissart's historiographical carrier is situated in the 1390s when political tensions grew importantly among the relatives of King Charles VI of France. From 1392, Charles suffered from a mental disease and his younger brother disputed over the control of the Kingdom with his uncles, above all Phillip the Bold. Froissart's Chronicles were much admired and copied in the milieu of Burgundian court in the fifteenth century. Thus, some historians assumed that Froissart was pro-Burgundian, also due to his patronage relations with the family of Albrecht of Bavaria and his son, married to Phillip the Bold's daughter. Close analysis of the passages of the Chronicles connected to the duke of Burgundy but also to the rival family of Louis d'Orléans shows that the chronicler does not really engage in the personal defence of either political party, or any other kind of collective identity, his judgement being mostly driven by personal sympathies, despite his dependence on his noble benefactors.
