Abbot John Whethamstede’s Chronicle of the Abbey of St Albans
Abbot John Whethamstede's Register aka Chronicle of his second term at the Abbey of St Albans, 1451-1461, is a remarkable text that describes his first-hand experience of the beginning of the Wars of the Roses including the First and Second Battles of St Albans, 1455 and 1461, respectively, their cause, and their consequences, not least on the Abbey itself. His text also includes Loveday, Blore Heath, Northampton, the Act of Accord, Wakefield, and Towton, and ends with the Coronation of King Edward IV. In addition to the events of the Wars of the Roses, Abbot John, or his scribes who wrote the Chronicle, include details in the life of the Abbey such as charters, letters, land exchanges, visits by legates, and disputes, which provide a rich insight into the day-to-day life of the Abbey, and the challenges faced by its Abbot.
Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback format.

Around 636 [his daughter] Æthelthryth Wuffingas Queen Consort Deira and Northumbria was born to King Anna of East Anglia. She married (1) 652 Tondberct Gwyre (2) after 655 King Ecgfrith of Northumbria, son of King Oswiu of Northumbria and Eanflæd Queen Consort Bernicia.
Around 652 [his son-in-law] Tondberct Gwyre and [his daughter] Æthelthryth Wuffingas Queen Consort Deira and Northumbria (age 16) were married. She the daughter of King Anna of East Anglia.
In 654 King Penda of Mercia defeated the East Anglian army at the Battle of Bulcamp at Bulcamp, Blythburgh. King Anna of East Anglia and his son [his son] Jurmin Wuffingas were killed. Anna's son His uncle [his brother] Æthelhere succeeded King East Anglia.
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 654. This year King Anna was slain, and Botolph began to build that minster at Icanhoe1. This year also died Archbishop Honorius, on the thirtieth of September.
Note 1. "Icanhoe" believed to be St Botolph's Church; Boston i.e. Botulphstown.
Bede. 660. [his son-in-law] King Egfrid (age 15) took to wife, [his daughter] Etheldrida (age 24), the daughter of Anna, king of the East Angles, of whom mention has been often made; a man very religious, and in all respects renowned for his inward disposition and actions. She had before been given in marriage to another, viz. to [his former son-in-law] Tonbert, chief of the Southern Girvii; but he died soon after he had received her, and she was given to the aforesaid king. Though she lived with him twelve years, yet she preserved the glory of perfect virginity, as I was informed by Bishop Wilfrid, of blessed memory, of whom I inquired, because some questioned the truth thereof; and he told me that he was an undoubted witness of her virginity, forasmuch as Egfrid promised he would give many lands and much money, if he could persuade the queen to consent to pay the marriage duty, for he knew the queen loved no man so much as himself; and it is not to be doubted that the same might in one instance take place in our age, which true histories tell us happened several times in former ages, through the assistance of the same Lord who has promised to continue with us unto the end of the world; for the miraculous circumstance that her flesh, being buried, could not suffer corruption, is a token that she had not been defiled by familiarity with man.
[his daughter] Seaxburh Wuffingas Queen Consort Kent was born to King Anna of East Anglia. She married before 14th July 664 King Eorcenberht of Kent, son of King Eadbald of Kent and Emma Austrasia Queen Consort Kent, and had issue.
