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.'

Diary of Anne Clifford. 13th May 1619. The 13th I was one of the mourners at the Queen's funeral. I attended the corpse from Somerset House to the Abbey at Westminster. My Lord [aged 30] was also one of the Earls that mourned. I went all the way hand in hand. with my Lady Lincoln after the sermon, and, all the ceremonies ended, my Lord, myself, and the Earl of Warwick [aged 31] and his Lady [aged 29] came home by barges, being come home I went to my Sister Beauchamp to shew her my mourning attire. At the funeral I met with my old Lady Pembroke [aged 57] and divers others of my acquaintance with whom I had much talk. My Coz. Clifford was also a mourner and bare the banner after the Lords. When all the company was gone and the Church door shut up the Dean of Westminster, the Prebends, Sir Edward Zouch [aged 31], who was Knight Marshall, came up a private way and buried the corpse at the east end of Henry the 7th Chapel about 7 o'clock at night. There was 180 poor women mourners. I went to see Lord Hertford (which was the last time I ever saw him) in Channel Row and spake very earnestly in Wood's behalf, but I could not prevail and his answer was that he would not pay any of his grandchildren's debts after his death.
This night my Lord made a great supper to two or three of the Frenchmen that came over with the embassador. After supper there was a play and then a banquet at which my Lady Penniston [aged 24] and a great many of Lords and Ladies there.

Diary of Anne Clifford. 27th July 1619. The 27th about this time my Lady Bedford [aged 39] had the smallpox and had them in that extremity that she lost one of her eyes. About this time my Coz.

Manners came and dined here from the Wells and in the evening went to London.
Note. This Sunday my Coz. Oldworth was true and shewed those remembrances me which are to be set up at Cheyneys for my Great Grand Father of Bedford and my Grand Father of Bedford and my Aunt Warwick. About this time my Lady Law was married to Secretary Maunton.

Diary of Anne Clifford. 28th November 1619. The 28th though I kept my chamber altogether yet methinks the time is not so tedious to me as when I used to be abroad.

All this winter my Lady Margaret's speech was very ill so as strangers cannot understand her, besides she was so apt to take cold and so out of temper that it grieved me to think of it. I verily believe all these inconveniences proceed from some distemper in her head.
