Journal de Jean Chevalier

The Journal of Jean Chevalier documents events in Jersey around the Civil War between the years of 1643 - 1651. His account is divided into three parts:

1. The Parliamentarian supporters blockade of Sir Phillippe de Carteret's in Elizabeth Castle
2. Lieutenant Lydcott attempts to seize the castles as Parliament's appointed Govenor of the Island
3. George Carteret seizes power of the Island and its castles until Parliamentary forces regain control in 1651
