All About History Books

The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."

Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke [-1360]. In the year 1329, certain individuals,1 wishing to find out what friends Edward II, the recently deceased King of England, still had, fabricated a story that he was living luxuriously in Corfe Castle, though never seen by day. To support this fiction, they held dances many nights upon the castle walls and towers, carrying lit candles and torches, so that they might be perceived by the simple folk of the countryside as keeping watch over some great king to whom they were rendering honours. News spread throughout England that the king's father was still alive. Because of this, the Earl of Kent sent a certain friar of the Order of Preachers to investigate the truth of the matter. Thinking he had bribed the castle's doorkeeper, the friar was deceived. He was brought in and kept hidden by day in the porter's chamber, with the promise that he would see by night the man he wished to see. At night he was led into the hall, ordered to wear secular clothing so as not to be recognized, and there he believed he saw King Edward, the king's father, sitting at a splendid supper. Believing what he saw, he reported to the Earl of Kent (age 27) that he had seen him. As a result, the earl, in the presence of certain persons to whom he should not have confided such things, swore he would labour to have his brother freed from the imprisonment in which he was held.

Anno MCCCXIX quidam experturi quos haberet amicos Edwardus secundus, rex Anglie nuper extinctus, confinxerunt ipsum in castro de: Corf laute vivere, set nusquam de die velle videri. Propterea fecerunt multis noctibus tripudia super muros castri et turres, preferentes cereos et tortices accensos, ut ab ydiotis de patria forent percepti, quasi aliquem magnum regem haberent custoditum, cui solemnizarent. Nova per totam Angliam sunt expansa quod regis pater viveret. Unde comes Cancie misit illuc quemdam fratrem ordinis Predicatorum, exploraturum rei veritatem; qui, putans se muneribus corrupisse castri ianitorem, decipitur. Introducitur nempe latiturus de die in camera ianitoris, visurus de nocte quem videre cupiebat. Nocte introducitur in aulam, iussus induere habitum secularem, ne perciperetur, videbaturque sibi ipsum videre Edwardum patrem regis cene splendide assidentem; quod ut credidit, ita retulit comiti Cancie se vidisse. Unde comes in presencia quorumdam, quibus non debuit fidem adibuisse, iuravit se laboraturum ad hoc, quod frater suus foret de reclusione ubi detinebatur liberatus.

The Brute chronicle (Harley MS. 2279).

The Chronicle of Lanercost 264.

The Dominican Thomas Dunheved, who is here stated to have been the friar who raised the devil for the occasion, is said to have been Edward II's envoy to gain the pope's consent to his divorce from Isabella. Chronicle of Lanercost 260.

The Brute chronicle has a partly similar account: "But the frere prechours to him [the imprisoned king] were good frendes evermore, and caste and ordeynede both nghte and day how thei myjte bringe him oute of prison. And amonge hire companye that the freres priveleche had brought ther was a frere that men callede Dunhevede; and he had ordeynede and gadered a grete companye of folke for to helpe atte that nede. Butte the frere was take and putte into a castelle of Pountfrete, and ther he deide in prison.

Kent's confession will be found in Latin, in Walsingham Historia Anglicana 2.351, and in French, in the appendix to Murimuth 253: This acknowledgment was made before Robert Houel, coroner of the King's household, and afterwards before the great men and peers of the land, at Winchester, on the sixteenth day of March, in the fourth year: To wit, that Edmund earl of Kent acknowledgeth that the pope charged him, on his benison, that he should use his pains and diligence to deliver Edward, his brother, sometime king of England, and that thereto he would find his costs. And he said that a friar preacher of the convent of London came unto him, at Kensington near to London, and told him that he had raised up the devil, which declared unto him for certain that Edward, his brother, sometime king of England, was alive. And he said that the archbishop of York sent unto him by a chaplain, one sir Aleyn, a letter of credence, which was: that he would aid him in the deliverance of his brother with five thousand pounds and moreover with as much as he had and as much as he could give. And he said that sir Ingelram Berenger told him in London, from sir William de la Zouche, that he would give as much as he could for the deliverance of his brother. And he said that sir William of Clif came unto him on the same message, by this token that they rode together between Woking and Guildford, and he told him that he should avoid the town of Guildford by reason of his niece Despenser that was in the same town of Guildford; and this same sir William spake unto him of the alliance between the son of Richard, Earl of Arundel, and his daughter, and said moreover that this would be the greatest honour that ever befell him, and that he would aid him as much as he could to do this thing. And he said that this same sir William came unto him from Hugh le Despenser, which told him that he would be well pleased to be with him; for he said that he would be sure of the deliverance in short time. And he said that sir William of Derham, clerk of his letters, and brother Thomas of Bromfield were they which most abetted him and stirred him to do these things aforesaid. And he said that sir Robert of Taunton, from the archbishop of York, brought a message of these things aforesaid, and told him that he had ready five thousand pounds to do this business aforesaid, and this of the money of sir Hugh the Despenser. And he said that this same sir Robert and two friars preachers which are out of their order, of which the one is called Edmund Savage and the other John, were the chief dealers in this matter. And he said that sir Fulk Fitz-Warin came unto him at Westminster and prayed him and stirred him to begin this thing, and encouraged him to do these things, and told him that this would be the greatest honour that ever befell him, and told him that he would aid him with body and heart and whatsoever he had. And he said that sir Ingelram Berenger came unto him from sir John Pecche, that he was of that mind, and thereto would bestow body and heart and whatsoever he had. And he said that rir Henry Beaumont and sir Thomas Rosselyn spake unto him in Paris, in the chamber of the duke of Brabant, that they were ready to come to England in aid of these things aforesaid; and that they stirred him to do these things; and that they would land towards the parts of Scotland, with countenance of Donald of Mar, and that he would aid them to uphold these things, and with all his strength. But the time of their coming is passed. And he said that sir Richard of Pontefract, confessor of the lady of Vesey, came unto him at Kensington, at the coronation, and afterwards at Arundel, from the archbishop of York, for these things aforesaid. And he said that a monk of Quar and John Cymmyngs, his cousin, had fitted out a ship, a barge, and a boat, to bring his brother and him to his castle of Arundel and from thence whithersoever should have been appointed. And he said that of these things aforesaid he opened himself unto sir E. of Monchiver and to George of Percy. And he said that the letters which he sent to sir Bugues of Bayeux and to John Daverill, sealed with his seal, he sent .... and the one letter was written by the hand of his wife. And he said that Ingelram Berenger, Maucelym Musarde and John Cymmynge did travail and take pains to accomplish these things. And he eaid that Ingelram Berenger came unto him at Arundel, in his chamber above the chapel, and said that the bishop of London would aid him in the deliverance of his brother with whatsoever he had. And these things he acknowledged to be true, and yieldeth himself guilty that he hath borne himself evilly for the undoing of his liege lord and of his crown, by countenance of these men aforesaid; and he wholly submitteth himself to the king's will, to come, in his shirt, to London or in this city, barefoot, or whithersoever the king shall appoint, with a rope round his neck, to do with him what it shall him please.".

Edward, in writing an account of his condemnation to the pope, quotes the terms of the confession, 24th March 1330. Rymer's Fœdera 2.783. The earl was still a young man at the time of his death, having been born in 1301. His conduct in Lancaster's revolt (above) as well as on the present occasion proves him to have been of remarkably weak character.

The article in Mortimer's condemnation in the parliament of 1330, which accuses him of being the author of the plot against Kent, is described in the Parliament Rolls, 2.52: Also, although the said Roger [de Mortimer] well knew that the father of our lord the king was dead and buried, he. through others of his faction, deceitfully led the Earl of Kent to believe that the said father of our lord the king was still alive. Because of this, the said Earl of Kent became very eager to know the truth, whether he was alive or not. And he sought to discover it by every honest means he knew. Nevertheless, the said Roger, by means of the royal power he had arrogated to himself, caused the said Earl of Kent to be arrested at the parliament held at Winchester, and he so procured and pursued the matter through that royal authority that the said earl was put to death at the said parliament.

Chronicle of the Kings of England by Richard Baker. 19th March 1330. For another Parliament being holden at Winchester, Edmund Earl of Kent (age 28), the Kings Uncle, is there accused, and condemned upon his confession, for intending to restore his Brother, the late [his half-brother] King Edward; an intention only without any fact, yet condemned he was, and brought to the Scaffold: but generally so beloved of the people, that he stood on the Scaffold from one a Clock till five, before any Executioner could be found that would do the Office; till at last a silly wretch of the Marshalsey [Map] was gotten to cut off his head.

The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson. Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.

Annales of England by John Stow. [19th March 1330]. The same yeere, at the earnest request of some, the king held a parliament at Winchester, where, by procurement of the old queen and Roger Mortimer, the said earle of Kent [Edmund of Woodstock 1st Earl Kent (age 28)] and many other noble men and religious persons, to wit, the provincials of the white Carmelite fryers and of the blacke preaching friers, and frier Richard Wilton, weie accused of conspiracie, touching (as it was said) the deliverie of the kings father: which matter although it were but devised fantasie and a meere lye, yet the said earle, for certaine confessions which he made, and for certaine letters which were found about him, was there beheaded. The other, to wit, the provincials of the Predicants and Carmelites, were banished : but the bishop of London was set at libertie, Robert de Tauntone, priest, and some certaine Carmelite friers and Predicants were condemned to perpetuall prison. The death of the said earle was the lesse lamented, because his family and servants had above measure afflicted the commons, in taking up things (as they travailed) at the king's price, paying nothing or very little for it.

Froissart Book 1: 1307-1340. 43. The young king of England governed for a long time, as you have heard mentioned above, by the counsel of my lady his mother, of the Earl Edmund of Kent, his uncle, and of Sir Roger de Mortimer. In the end, envy began to arise between the said Earl of Kent (age 28) and Lord Mortimer. And the envy grew so great that Lord Mortimer informed and persuaded the young king, with the consent of my lady the queen his mother, making him believe that the said Earl of Kent wished to poison him and would soon have him killed, in order to seize the kingdom for himself, as he was the next in line to inherit it since the king's younger brother, called Sir John of Eltham, had recently passed away. The young king, who readily believed what he was told, just as young lords often do, easily trusting what those who should advise them tell them, and more often evil than good, soon after had his said uncle the Earl of Kent arrested, and had him publicly beheaded [on 19th March 1330] ], from which he could never find escape or pardon. This deeply troubled and angered all the people of the country, great and small, noble and common, and they strongly held resentment in their hearts against Lord Mortimer. They believed firmly that through his counsel, scheming, and false deceit, the noble Earl of Kent—whom they all considered a virtuous and loyal man—had been so led and treated. Never after that was Lord Mortimer loved as he had been before.

Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke [-1360]. That same year [1330], the third of the king's reign, at the urging of those who hated his father, the king held a parliament at Winchester,1 where, through the influence of his mother and Roger de Mortimer, the said Earl of Kent, his uncle, and many other nobles and religious men including provincials of the Orders of Preachers and Carmelites of Blessed Mary, and Friar Richard de Blytone2 were accused of conspiring, as it was claimed, to free the king's father from prison and restore him to rule, although all of this was false and imagined. Nevertheless, the said earl [Edmund of Woodstock 1st Earl Kent], because of certain confessions he had made and some letters found in his possession though none of those confessions or letters, even if genuine, should have rendered so great a man worthy of such punishment, was beheaded.3 As for the others, the provincials of the Orders of Preachers and Carmelites of Blessed Mary were exiled; the Bishop of London was released from detention; Robert de Taunton,4 a cleric, and certain friars of the Carmelite and Dominican Orders were imprisoned. The death of the said earl displeased the people of the kingdom the less because he had a notorious household, which, while travelling through the land, seized the goods of the common people at royal prices, paying little or nothing for what they took.

Eodem anno, scilicet regni regis tercio, ad instanciam odiencium patrem suum, rex tenuit parliamentum Wyntonie, ubi, procurantibus matre sua et Rogero de Mortuo mari, predictus comes Cancie, patruus regis, et multi alii nobiles et religiosi viri, scilicet provinciales ordinum Predicatorum et Carmelitarum beate Marie, et frater Ricardus de Blitone, fuerunt accusati de eo quod conspiraverunt, ut dicebatur, regis patrem de carcere liberare et ad regni statum reducere, licet totum hoc fuisset falsum et fantasiatum. Tum comes predictus, propter quasdam confessiones suas et quasdam literas secum inventas, licet ulle illarum confessionum seu literarum, etsi vere fuissent, non debuissent tantum virum tali supplicio dignum reddidisse, fuit decapitatus. Alii vero ut provinciales Predicatorum et Carmelitarum beate Marie, fuerunt exulati; episcopus vero Londoniensis fuit manumissioni dimissus; Robertus de Tauntone clericus et fratres quidam de ordinibus Carmelitarum et Predicatorum carceri fuerunt mancipati. Mors predicti comitis eo minus populo regni displicuit, quod malam habuit familiam, res popularium per patriam itinerando precio regali capescentem, parum vel nihil pro emptis solventes.

Note 1. This parliament was summoned on the 25th January 1330, and sat from the 11th to the 23rd March.
