Biography of Isabella Saunders 1605-1657

Diary of Isabella Twysden: Introduction. 3rd August 1563. Sir Roger's [her future mother-in-law] mother liked to be attended by a young lady in waiting, and Isabella Saunder was performing this function in 1633, possibly because her [her father] father had ruined himself over the New River, Isabella inherited the heraldic achievements of the Saunder family, as her only brother died unmarried, but was heir to nothing else.

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." Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.
