History of the Dauphiné and of the princes who bore the title of Dauphin, particularly those of the third line, descended from the barons of La Tour-du-Pin, under the last of whom their estates were transferred to the Crown of France. It contains a series of documents arranged in chronological order to serve as evidence of historical events, from which one may glean various insights into the history of France, the Popes of Avignon, and the neighboring states and provinces.
