Jean de Waurin's Chronicle of England Volume 6 Books 3-6: The Wars of the Roses
Jean de Waurin was a French Chronicler, from the Artois region, who was born around 1400, and died around 1474. Waurin’s Chronicle of England, Volume 6, covering the period 1450 to 1471, from which we have selected and translated Chapters relating to the Wars of the Roses, provides a vivid, original, contemporary description of key events some of which he witnessed first-hand, some of which he was told by the key people involved with whom Waurin had a personal relationship.

Annals of King Richard II. Meanwhile, Master Richard Scrope, Archbishop of York, together with Thomas Mowbray, Earl Marshal, drew up certain articles setting out the grievances under which, they claimed, not only the commons of the realm but the nobility itself had groaned. They first made these known to those nearby who supported them, and afterwards to those farther afield, declaring that they were prepared, if necessary, to fight for these causes even unto death. It was not difficult to win the support of the commons for this undertaking, since they hoped that the whole population of the kingdom would adopt the same position. They were also greatly encouraged by the Archbishop’s well-known holiness, his constant dignity, the moderation of his conduct and his purity of life. When the prelate saw that he was now surrounded by many fighting men, he caused the aforesaid articles to be written out and publicly posted in the streets and lanes of York, and upon the doors of monasteries, so that everyone might learn the grounds of his cause. We have therefore thought fit to insert those articles here, having translated them from English into Latin.
Interea Magister Ricardus Scrop, Eboracensis Archiepiscopus, cum Thoma Mounbray, Comite Marescallo, imaginatis quibusdam articulis quibus non solum regni communitas sed ipsa nobilitas se gravatos ingemuit, demonstraverunt eos prope sibi adhærentibus, postea procul positis; asserentes se pro eisdem, si oporteat, usque ad mortem certaturos. Nec fuit difficile huic proposito vota communium mutuare, qui sperabant totius regni multitudinem in hanc sententiam [veniwe]. Animavit quoque illos maxime et Pontificis notæ sanctitas, et continuata viri gravitas, et modestia morum suorum, et puritas. Cumque Præsul vidisset se jam vallatum multis viris bellatoribus, fecit scribi supradictos articulos, et in viis et vicis civitatis Eboraci, et super monasteriorum januas, affigi publice; ut quilibet posset cognoscere titulum causæ suæ. Quos articulos, per nos translatos in Latinum ex Anglico, isthic duximus inserendos.—
