Until the beginning of fourteeth century, chronicle writing in England prevailed under the responsability of religious houses. From this century onwards, however, the ability of writing leaves off the monastic scriptoria, and the handling of the feather will be slowly shared with individuals belonging to the lay world. At this point, it is possible to observe the shifting in the ways of writing history, as the preoccupations of men linked to the lay power bring into the center of the written history a theme that overlaps all others: war, namely that fought against Frenchmen and Scots. If the marvellous and divine actions interspersed such narratives, now the prevailing issues are those concerned to organization and effective action in warfare, taking into consideration the performance of noblemen in both moments. Therefor, this research inquires not only about the mechanisms employed by chroniclers in the attempt to ensure trustworthiness to their reports, but in like manner the diverse roles fourteenth-century chronicle writing played to the contemporary nobility, whose actions were portrayed by them. Bearing in mind such goals, we analyzed lay chronicles composed by Geoffrey le Baker, Jean le Bel and Thomas Gray, men apparently without any proximity, but who shared designs and ideals about both warrior behavior and their practices. When those chronicles are collated among themselves and altogher with other contemporary documents, they do not cover war by itself, as from their perspective of the conflict they offer a wider view of what deserved to be remembered in the kingdom of England in the first phases of the Hundred Years War
