                    Then the Earl of Sussex [aged 46], sewarc.
                
                    Then the Earl of Worcester [aged 27], carver, received the said service, and gave the saie (assay).
                
                    Then after, the Queen's Majesty's service was brought unto her Highness's board, only the water brought for her Grace in this manner.
                
                    There went before the said basons of water divers Sergeants of Anns with their maces.
                
                    The Queen's Majesty washed, and after her Highness went unto her seat royal under the cloth of state to dinner.
                
                    The Earl of Shrewsbury [aged 53] standing by her Grace as assistant on the right hand, and the Bishop of Durham on the left hand.

                    Then four swords, being holden before her Majesty all the dinner-time.
                
                    Then the first cup that the Queen's Majesty drunk was brought to her by Sir Giles Alington [aged 54], which he had for his fee, and thereby he held the lands of Argentine.
                
                    The table in the Hall furnished.
                
                    Imprimis, then was placed at the table in the middest the Hall, Ambassadors, Bishops, Justices, Knights, and Squires.

He came to this coronation as High Steward of England, attended by a train of fourscore in velvet and upwards of two hundred in livery.
                
                    Note c. Strype says the young Earl of Surrey [aged 17] was doer (?) under the Duke of Norfolk his grandsire; the Lord Bergaveny chief lardiner; and the Lord Windsor served "in another great office."
                
                    Note d. Noailles says "assez loingtaines." i.e. "quite far off."

The History of William Marshal, Earl of Chepstow and Pembroke, Regent of England. Book 1 of 2, Lines 1-10152.

The History of William Marshal was commissioned by his son shortly after William’s death in 1219 to celebrate the Marshal’s remarkable life; it is an authentic, contemporary voice. The manuscript was discovered in 1861 by French historian Paul Meyer. Meyer published the manuscript in its original Anglo-French in 1891 in two books. This book is a line by line translation of the first of Meyer’s books; lines 1-10152. Book 1 of the History begins in 1139 and ends in 1194. It describes the events of the Anarchy, the role of William’s father John, John’s marriages, William’s childhood, his role as a hostage at the siege of Newbury, his injury and imprisonment in Poitou where he met Eleanor of Aquitaine and his life as a knight errant. It continues with the accusation against him of an improper relationship with Margaret, wife of Henry the Young King, his exile, and return, the death of Henry the Young King, the rebellion of Richard, the future King Richard I, war with France, the death of King Henry II, and the capture of King Richard, and the rebellion of John, the future King John. It ends with the release of King Richard and the death of John Marshal.

William of Worcester's Chronicle of England

William of Worcester, born around 1415, and died around 1482 was secretary to John Fastolf, the renowned soldier of the Hundred Years War, during which time he collected documents, letters, and wrote a record of events. Following their return to England in 1440 William was witness to major events. Twice in his chronicle he uses the first person: 1. when writing about the murder of Thomas, 7th Baron Scales, in 1460, he writes '… and I saw him lying naked in the cemetery near the porch of the church of St. Mary Overie in Southwark …' and 2. describing King Edward IV's entry into London in 1461 he writes '… proclaimed that all the people themselves were to recognize and acknowledge Edward as king. I was present and heard this, and immediately went down with them into the city'. William’s Chronicle is rich in detail. It is the source of much information about the Wars of the Roses, including the term 'Diabolical Marriage' to describe the marriage of Queen Elizabeth Woodville’s brother John’s marriage to Katherine, Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, he aged twenty, she sixty-five or more, and the story about a paper crown being placed in mockery on the severed head of Richard, 3rd Duke of York.

The Deeds of the Dukes of Normandy

The Gesta Normannorum Ducum [The Deeds of the Dukes of Normandy] is a landmark medieval chronicle tracing the rise and fall of the Norman dynasty from its early roots through the pivotal events surrounding the Norman Conquest of England. Originally penned in Latin by the monk William of Jumièges shortly before 1060 and later expanded at the behest of William the Conqueror, the work chronicles the deeds, politics, battles, and leadership of the Norman dukes, especially William’s own claim to the English throne. The narrative combines earlier historical sources with firsthand information and oral testimony to present an authoritative account of Normandy’s transformation from a Viking settlement into one of medieval Europe’s most powerful realms. William’s history emphasizes the legitimacy, military prowess, and governance of the Norman line, framing their expansion, including the conquest of England, as both divinely sanctioned and noble in purpose. Later chroniclers such as Orderic Vitalis and Robert of Torigni continued the history, extending the coverage into the 12th century, providing broader context on ducal rule and its impact. Today this classic work remains a foundational source for understanding Norman identity, medieval statesmanship, and the historical forces that reshaped England and Western Europe between 800AD and 1100AD.
