Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 10th January 1123. And thence he went to Woodstock, Oxfordshire [Map]; and his bishops and his whole court with him. Then did it betide on a Wednesday, which was on the fourth day before the ides of January, that the king [aged 55] rode in his deer-fold;146 the Bishop Roger of Salisbury147 on one side of him, and the Bishop Robert Bloet of Lincoln on the other side of him. And they rode there talking together. Then sank down the Bishop of Lincoln, and said to the king, "Lord king, I die." And the king alighted down from his horse, and lifted him betwixt his arms, and let men bear him home to his inn. There he was soon dead; and they carried him to Lincoln with great worship, and buried him before the altar of St. Mary. And the Bishop of Chester, whose name was Robert Pecceth, buried him.
Note 146. i.e. an inclosure or park for deer. This is now called Blenheim Park, and is one of the few old parks which still remain in this country.
Note 147. This may appear rather an anticipation of the modern see of Salisbury, which was not then in existence; the borough of Old Saturn, or "Saresberie", being then the episcopal seat.
Chronicle of Henry of Huntingdon 1123. [10th January 1123] From thence the king went to Woodstock, that delightful place, which was both a royal residence and a preserve of beasts of chase. Robert, bishop of Lincoln, died while he was there with the king1, whose epitaph runs thus:—
"Immortal bonoor and enduring fame
Deck Robert's, best of bisbops, reverend name.
Wealth, union rare! with lowliness be join'd.
And pow'r with bmnble piety combin'd.
Patient amidst the adverse strokes of fate,
A judge, to sinners ev'n, compassionate;
His flock ne'er found him an imperious lord,
Tbey bow'd submissive to their father's word;
His purpose them, with sympathizing care.
To shield from evil, or their sorrows share.
The tenth of Jan'ry clos'd this false world's dreams.
And saw him wake to truth's eternal beams."
Note 1. Robert de Bloet, the author's patron, already mentioned, see p. 224. The circumstances of his death are thus related in Henry of Huntingdon's Book, "De Contemptu Mundi;" and nearly in the same words in the Saxon Chronicle: "The king was riding in his deer-park, and Roger, bishop of Salisbury, was on one side of him, and Robert Bloet, bishop of Lincoln, on the other; and they rode there talking. Then the Bishop of Lincoln sank down and said to the king, 'My lord king, I am dying!' And the king alighted from his horse, and took him between his arms, and bade them bear him to his inn, and he soon lay there dead; and they took his body with much pomp to Lincoln and buried him before St Mary's altar."
Chronicon ex Chronicis by Florence and John of Worcester. 10th January 1123. Robert, the eighteenth bishop of Lincoln, while riding on horseback and conversing with king Henry at Woodstock in the month of January, fell to the ground, and, losing the use of his speech, was carried to his lodgings, and shortly afterwards expired.1 Ralph, also, the king's chancellor, came to a wretched end.2

Annals of Six Kings of England by Nicholas Trivet. Pope Gregory died [on 10th January 1276] at Arezzo and was buried there. He was succeeded by Innocent the Fifth, a Burgundian from Tarentaise, formerly called Brother Peter of the Order of Preachers, devoted to the study of the Scriptures, and made doctor of theology at Paris, who left to posterity the memory of his wisdom by writing many useful works. He composed a concise commentary on the four books of the Sentences, excellent glosses on the Epistles of Paul, and reduced the Decrees into a very useful and reliable short summary. Being a man of outstanding religious life and proven prudence, he was first provincial prior of his order in France, then made archbishop of Lyon, and finally, having been raised to the cardinalate by Pope Gregory, became bishop of Ostia.
Gregorius papa apud Aretium defunctus, ibidem traditur sepulturæ: succedit Innocentius quintus, natione Burgundus de Tarentasia, dictus antea frater Petrus in ordine Prædicatorum, studio scripturarum deditus, ac doctor theologiæ Parisiis factus, sapientiæ suæ memoriam, multa scribendo utilia, posteris dereliquit. Scriptum enim compendiosum super libros quatuor Sententiarum edidit, et super Epistolas Pauli postillas optimas, Decretaque abbreviatione perutili et fideli in summam parvulam coartavit. Qui cum esset vir religionis eximiæ, expertæque prudentiæ, primo prior provincialis fratrum suorum in Francia, deinde archiepiscopus efficitur Lugdunensis; demumque, à papa Gregorio ad cardinalatum assumptus, constitutus est episcopus Ostiensis.
Archaeologia Volume 35 1853 XXXIII. On the 10th and 11th of January, 1358, Isabella [aged 63] is visited by the Countess of Pembroke [aged 41], the Countess of Kent [aged 28], and Sir John de Wynewyk. Of these, the Countess of Pembroke has been already noticed. The Countess of Kent was Isabella, daughter of the Marquess of Juliers [aged 59], and widow of John Plantagenet, Earl of Kent. Her husband had died in the year 13531; upon which she took the veil at Waverley [Map]; but afterwards, as Dugdale tells us, "quitting her profession, was clandestinely married to Sir Eustace Dabrischecourt." The name of this knight is usually written D'Ambreticourt. He was the son of Sir Sanchez D'Ambreticourt [aged 28], Knight of the Garter, and a descendant of the poor knight of Ostrevant, in Hainaut, in whose house Isabella found shelter on her dismissal from the court of her brother, Charles IV. of France, and whom, with his whole family, she had invited over into England, and had in various ways advanced. In reference to the Countess of Kent, Froissart says— "This lady was greatly attached to Sir Eustace D'Ambreticourt, for his gallant deeds of arms, which had been related to her: and she sent him coursers, hackneys, and letters full of love; which so much emboldened Sir Eustace, and spurred him to perform such feats of chivalry and of arms, that all those under him made fortunes." Dugdale tells us, in respect of the Countess's breach of her vows, that "she and her said husband, being personally convented before the said Archbishop of Canterbury in his manor house of Maghfeld," the Archbishop imposed on them a certain penance of prayers and alms very skilfully adapted to their offence.
Of Sir John de Wynewyk, I have been unable to learn anything of certainty. He appears to have been attached to the King's court, and was perhaps the medium employed for managing Isabella's affairs. He visited her and exchanged letters with her constantly.
Note 1. Possibly a mistake for 1352? John Plantagenet 3rd Earl Kent died 26 Dec 1352.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs. 437. Of Sir Roger Acton And Others.
On the story of Sir Roger Acton above mentioned, I find that with him were taken many other persons, that all the prisons in and about London were replenished with people. The chief of them, which were twenty and nine, were condemned of heresy; and attainted of high treason, as movers of war against their king, by the temporal law in the Guildhall, the twelfth day of December; and adjudged to be drawn and hanged for treason, and for heresy to be consumed with fire, gallows and all: which judgment was executed in [10th] January [1414] following on the said Sir Roger Acton, and twenty-eight others.
Some say that the occasion of their death was the conveyance of the Lord Cobham out of prison. Others write, that it was both for treason (as the adversaries termed it) and heresy.
Certain affirm, that it was for feigned causes surmised by the spiritualty, more of displeasure than truth, as seemeth more near to the truth.
Memoires Jacques du Clercq. In the year 1462, on the tenth day of January, in the town of Hesdin, the wife of the lord of Thyembrone, knight, being in her garden after dinner, her husband's stepson, named Anthoine, struck the said lady, as she knelt saying her prayers, with three dagger blows to the breast, driving them deep within, and then fled and took refuge in a church. From these wounds the said lady died soon afterwards. This same Anthoine was nephew to the lord of Croy, being the son of his sister, and on that very day had dined with the said lady and in her presence. The said lady was much lamented, for she was gracious, virtuous, charitable, and greatly devoted to God. She was from the country of Flanders, and had previously been married before, as had also her husband, who had been married twice before her. It was a horrible and wicked murder, yet no justice was done for it, but the perpetrator went to Crécy with the lord of Rœulx, likewise a nephew of the said Croy and captain of that place, and remained there.
L'AN mil iiije lxj, le xe jour de janvier, en la ville de Hesdin, la femme du S de Thyembrone, chevallier, estante en son jardin après disner, un sien beau fils de son mary, nommé Anthoine, donna a ladite dame, elle estante a genoulx, et disant ses heures, trois coups de dagues es mamelles tout dedans, puis s'enffuit et se boutta dedans une eglise; des quels coups icelle dame assés tost après mourut. Icelluy Anthoine estoit nepveu du seigneur de Croy, fils de sa soeur, et avoit le propre jour disné avecq ladite dame et devant elle; icelle dame fust moult plainte, car elle avoit bonne grace d'estre bonne, preudefemme et grande aumosniere, et moult bien servant Dieu; elle estoit du pays de Flandres, et avoit esté aultrefois par avant mariée, comme aussy sondit mary, paravant elle, l'avoit esté deux fois. Ce fust ung horrible et villain meurdre, toutesfois nulle justice n'en fust faite, ains s'en alla le facteur au Cretoy avecq le S de Reubempré, nepveu aussy dudit Croy, et capitaine dudit lieu, et illecq se tint.
Memoires Jacques du Clercq. About this time, the Duke of Burgundy again summoned the three estates of his lands to assemble in sufficient number on the tenth day of January at Bruges; this being known, his son, the Count of Charolais, who was in his father's displeasure, as has been said above and as I shall say hereafter, wrote throughout all the lands of the said duke to the three estates, that they should come to him in the town of Antwerp in Brabant on the 3rd day of January, writing to the said estates how he was troubled by the anger which his father bore towards him without cause, as he declared; for he had done nothing, nor wished to do anything, whereby he ought to incur his displeasure; but certain of his father's governors, who did not love him, kept him in his father's disfavour; and for this and other reasons he desired to speak with them before the day on which they were to be with his father, in order that they might be able and willing to entreat his said father to be reconciled to him, and that he was ready to do all that should please him, as a good son ought to do towards his father. And when several prelates, nobles, and good towns had set out to go to the said Count of Charolais, his father the duke was informed of it and was greatly troubled thereby, and wrote throughout all his lands to the said three estates that they should not go there, and moreover caused orders to be given to several who had already passed beyond Ghent on their way to the said count, that they should return, which they did; but before the said duke had sent those letters, some of the said three estates had already gone to the said count; what matters they dealt with there, I do not know.
ENVIRON ce temps, le duc de Bourgogne derechief manda les trois estats de ses pays ad ce qu'ils fuissent en nombre competent, le dixiesme jour de janvier, a Bruges: ce sçachant, son fils, le comte de Charollois, lequel estoit en l'indignation de son pere, comme dit est chy dessus, et comme je diray chy après, rescripvit par touts les pays dudit duc aulx trois estats, qu'ils volsissent estre devers lui en la ville d'Anvers en Braband, le troisiesme jour de janvier, en rescripvant aulxdits trois estats comment il estoit desplaisant du courroulx que son pere tenoit contre lui sans cause, comme il rescripvit; car il n'avoit fait, ni ne voulloit faire chose, dont il se deubt troubler vers lui; mais aulcuns des gouverneurs de son pere, et qui ne l'aimoient point, le tenoient en son indignation, et pour ce et pour aultres choses, desiroit de parler a eulx ains que le journée venist, qu'ils devoient estre par-i devers son pere, adfin qu'ils peuissent et volsissent prier a sondit pere qu'il volsit estre content de lui, et qu'il estoit prest de faire tout ce que bon lui sembleroit, et que bon fils doibt faire a son pere. Et comme plusieurs preslats, nobles et bonnes villes fuissent partis d'aller envers ledit comte de Charollois, le duc son père en fust adverti et très troublé de ce, et rescripvit par touts ses pays aulxdits trois estats, qu'on n'y allat point, et mesmement feit faire commandement a plusieurs qui ja estoient oultre Gand pour aller devers ledit comte, qu'ils retournassent, lesquels retournerent; mais ains que ledit duc olt envoyé lesdites lettres, aulcuns desdits trois estats estoient ja devers ledit comte; quelles choses qu'ils y feirent je ne sçay.
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.

Chronicle of a Bourgeois of Valenciennes
Récits d’un bourgeois de Valenciennes aka The Chronicle of a Bourgeois of Valenciennes is a vivid 14th-century vernacular chronicle written by an anonymous urban chronicler from Valenciennes in the County of Hainaut. It survives in a manuscript that describes local and regional history from about 1253 to 1366, blending chronology, narrative episodes, and eyewitness-style accounts of political, military, and social events in medieval France, Flanders, and the Low Countries. The work begins with a chronological framework of events affecting Valenciennes and its region under rulers such as King Philip VI of France and the shifting allegiances of local nobility. It includes accounts of conflicts, sieges, diplomatic manoeuvres, and the impact of broader struggles like the Hundred Years’ War on urban life in Hainaut. Written from the perspective of a burgher (bourgeois) rather than a monastery or royal court, the chronicle offers a rare lay viewpoint on high politics and warfare, reflecting how merchants, townspeople, and civic institutions experienced the turbulence of the 13th and 14th centuries. Its narrative style combines straightforward reporting of events with moral and civic observations, making it a valuable source for readers interested in medieval urban society, regional politics, and the lived experience of war and governance in pre-modern Europe.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 10th January 1666. Thence to the 'Change [Map], and there hear to our grief how the plague is encreased this week from seventy to eighty-nine. We have also great fear of our Hambrough fleete, of their meeting the Dutch; as also have certain newes, that by storms Sir Jer. Smith's fleet is scattered, and three of them come without masts back to Plymouth, Devon [Map], which is another very exceeding great disappointment, and if the victualling ships are miscarried will tend to the losse of the garrison of Tangier [Map].
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 10th January 1666. So I to the office and anon to the Duke of Albemarle [aged 57], by coach at night, taking, for saving time, Sir W. Warren with me, talking of our businesses all the way going and coming, and there got his reference of my pursers' paper to the Board to consider of it before he reads it, for he will never understand it I am sure. Here I saw Sir W. Coventry's [aged 38] kind letter to him concerning my paper, and among others of his letters, which I saw all, and that is a strange thing, that whatever is writ to this Duke of Albemarle, all the world may see; for this very night he did give me Mr. Coventry's letter to read, soon as it come to his hand, before he had read it himself, and bid me take out of it what concerned the Navy, and many things there was in it, which I should not have thought fit for him to have let any body so suddenly see; but, among other things, find him profess himself to the Duke a friend into the inquiring further into the business of Prizes, and advises that it may be publique, for the righting the King [aged 35], and satisfying the people and getting the blame to be rightly laid where it should be, which strikes very hard upon my Lord Sandwich [aged 40], and troubles me to read it. Besides, which vexes me more, I heard the damned Duchesse again say to twenty gentlemen publiquely in the room, that she would have Montagu sent once more to sea, before he goes his Embassy, that we may see whether he will make amends for his cowardice, and repeated the answer she did give the other day in my hearing to Sir G. Downing [aged 41], wishing her Lord had been a coward, for then perhaps he might have been made an Embassador, and not been sent now to sea. But one good thing she said, she cried mightily out against the having of gentlemen Captains with feathers and ribbands, and wished the King would send her husband to sea with the old plain sea Captains, that he served with formerly, that would make their ships swim with blood, though they could not make legs1 as Captains nowadays can. It grieved me to see how slightly the Duke do every thing in the world, and how the King and every body suffers whatever he will to be done in the Navy, though never so much against reason, as in the business of recalling tickets, which will be done notwithstanding all the arguments against it. So back again to my office, and there to business and so to bed.
Note 1. Make bows, play the courtier. The reading, "make leagues", appeared in former editions till Mr. Mynors Bright corrected it.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 10th January 1668. Up, and with Sir Denis Gawden, who called me, to White Hall, and there to wait on the Duke of York [aged 34] with the rest of my brethren, which we did a little in the King's Greenroom, while the King [aged 37] was in Council: and in this room we found my Lord Bristoll [aged 55] walking alone; which, wondering at, while the Council was sitting, I was answered that, as being a Catholique, he could not be of the Council, which I did not consider before. After broke up and walked a turn or two with Lord Brouncker [aged 48] talking about the times, and he tells me that he thinks, and so do every body else, that the great business of putting out some of the Council to make room for some of the Parliament men to gratify and wheedle them is over, thinking that it might do more hurt than good, and not obtain much upon the Parliament either. This morning there was a Persian in that country dress, with a turban, waiting to kiss the King's hand in the Vane-room, against he come out: it was a comely man as to features, and his dress, methinks, very comely.

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.

Adam Murimuth's Continuation and Robert of Avesbury’s 'The Wonderful Deeds of King Edward III'
This volume brings together two of the most important contemporary chronicles for the reign of Edward III and the opening phases of the Hundred Years’ War. Written in Latin by English clerical observers, these texts provide a vivid and authoritative window into the political, diplomatic, and military history of fourteenth-century England and its continental ambitions. Adam Murimuth Continuatio's Chronicarum continues an earlier chronicle into the mid-fourteenth century, offering concise but valuable notices on royal policy, foreign relations, and ecclesiastical affairs. Its annalistic structure makes it especially useful for establishing chronology and tracing the development of events year by year. Complementing it, Robert of Avesbury’s De gestis mirabilibus regis Edwardi tertii is a rich documentary chronicle preserving letters, treaties, and official records alongside narrative passages. It is an indispensable source for understanding Edward III’s claim to the French crown, the conduct of war, and the mechanisms of medieval diplomacy. Together, these works offer scholars, students, and enthusiasts a reliable and unembellished account of a transformative period in English and European history. Essential for anyone interested in medieval chronicles, the Hundred Years’ War, or the reign of Edward III.

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.'

This is a translation of the 'Memoires of Jacques du Clercq', published in 1823 in two volumes, edited by Frederic, Baron de Reissenberg. In his introduction Reissenberg writes: 'Jacques du Clercq tells us that he was born in 1424, and that he was a licentiate in law and a counsellor to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in the castellany of Douai, Lille, and Orchies. It appears that he established his residence at Arras. In 1446, he married the daughter of Baldwin de la Lacherie, a gentleman who lived in Lille. We read in the fifth book of his Memoirs that his father, also named Jacques du Clercq, had married a lady of the Le Camelin family, from Compiègne. His ancestors, always attached to the counts of Flanders, had constantly served them, whether in their councils or in their armies.' The Memoires cover a period of nineteen years beginning in in 1448, ending in in 1467. It appears that the author had intended to extend the Memoirs beyond that date; no doubt illness or death prevented him from carrying out this plan. As Reissenberg writes the 'merit of this work lies in the simplicity of its narrative, in its tone of good faith, and in a certain air of frankness which naturally wins the reader’s confidence.' Du Clercq ranges from events of national and international importance, including events of the Wars of the Roses in England, to simple, everyday local events such as marriages, robberies, murders, trials and deaths, including that of his own father in Book 5; one of his last entries.
