All About History Books

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.

Chronicle of St Denis Book 17 Chapter 6. While the king was still engaging in hunting in the forest of Cosie, around the end of May, the Lady Duchess of Brabant (age 73), with carriages and horsemen and with the greatest equipment, came to visit him, in order to enjoy her pleasant conversation; she was courteously received by him, generously refreshed, and adorned with gifts. Indeed, as she was already worn out by age, desiring to see the king and the lilies in her last days, she wished to see the lord Duke of Burgundy (age 53) with special love, who, by reason of his wife [Margaret Dampierre Duchess Burgundy (age 47)], ought to succeed her in the Duchy of Brabant. In the king's court and that of his illustrious ones, with her consent, it was said that the said duke should take possession of the dominion; and the said lady agreed, overcome by the king's strong prayers, that the second-born son of the duke, named Anthony (age 11), should henceforth be nurtured in his court and should obtain the duchy after his death.

Dum adhuc rex in saltu Cosie venacionem exerceret, mense mayo circa finem, domina ducissa Brabancie cum curribus et equitibus et apparatu maximo, ut suo grato colloquio uteretur, ad visitandum eum venit; a quo curialiter recepta est, refecta dapsiliter et jocalibus dotata. Senio namque jam confecta, ultimis suis diebus regem et lilia defferentes desiderabat videre, amore tamen speciali dominum ducem Burgundie, qui racione uxoris sue ducisse eidem debebat succedere in Brebantino ducatu. In consistorio autem regis et suorum illustrium, eadem consenciente, dictum fuit quod dictus dux dominii possessionem caperet; assenciitque dicta domina, regis vallidis precibus victa, ut filius secundo genitus ducis, nuncupatus Antonius, deinceps in ejus curia nutriretur, et ducatum obtineret post ejus obitum.
