Westminster Chronicle. Therefore, on the 26th day of September, after commending himself to St Peter and St Edward, the patrons of the aforesaid church, the aforesaid [his father-in-law] Duke of Gloucester set out on his journey towards Prussia. Around the middle of the month of October he put to sea. The Earl of Stafford^{ENDNOTE1ENDNOTE} crossed with him; in that summer he had married the [his wife] daughter of the aforesaid duke. Around the beginning of the month of October, Lord Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of York, was made the lord king’s chancellor. Also, on the 17th day of October, Damian de Cattaneis, messenger of the lord pope, came into England. Also, on the 17th day of October, Sir John Clanvowe, an excellent knight, ended his last day in a certain village near Constantinople in Greece. For this reason Sir William Neville, his companion on the journey, whom he loved no less than himself, grieving inconsolably, never afterwards took food. And so, after the next two days had passed, he lamentably breathed his last in the same village. These knights were famous among the English: noble and vigorous men, and also sprung from distinguished lineage.

lgitur xxvi die Septembris postquam commendasset se beato Petro et sancto Edwardo, prædictæ ecclesiæ patronis, præfatus dux Gloucestriæ iter suum arripuit versus Pruyssyam et circa medium mensis Octobris mare intravit, transivitque cum eo comes Staffordiæ qui in ista æstate filiam ducis prædicti duxit in uxorem. Circa principium mensis Octobris dominus Thomas Arundell Eboracensis archiepiscopus factus est cancellarius domini regis. Item xvii die Octobris venit Damianus de Cathaneys nuncius domini papæ in Angliam. Item xvii die Octobris dominus Johannes Clanvowe miles egregius in quodam vico juxta Constantinopolim in Græcia diem clausit extremum. Quam ob causam dominus Willelmus Nevyle ejus comes in itinere, quem non minus se ipsum diligebat, inconsolabiliter dolens numquam postea sumpsit cibum. Unde transactis duobus diebus sequentibus in eodem vico lamentabiliter exspiravit. Erant isti milites inter Anglicos famosi viri nobiles et strenui ac etiam de genere claro producti.

Annals of the six Kings of England by Nicholas Trivet

Translation of the Annals of the Six Kings of England by that traces the rise and rule of the Angevin aka Plantagenet dynasty from the mid-12th to early 14th century. Written by the Dominican scholar Nicholas Trivet, the work offers a vivid account of English history from the reign of King Stephen through to the death of King Edward I, blending political narrative with moral reflection. Covering the reigns of six monarchs—from Stephen to Edward I—the chronicle explores royal authority, rebellion, war, and the shifting balance between crown, church, and nobility. Trivet provides detailed insight into defining moments such as baronial conflicts, Anglo-French rivalry, and the consolidation of royal power under Edward I, whose reign he describes with particular immediacy. The Annals combines careful year-by-year reporting with thoughtful interpretation, presenting history not merely as a sequence of events but as a moral and political lesson. Ideal for readers interested in medieval history, kingship, and the origins of the English state, this chronicle remains a valuable and accessible window into the turbulent world of the Plantagenet kings.
