Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 1023. This year returned King Knute [aged 28] to England; and Thurkyll and he were reconciled. He committed Denmark and his son to the care of Thurkyll, whilst he took Thurkyll's son with him to England. This year died Archbishop Wulfstan; and Elfric succeeded him; and Archbishop Egelnoth blessed him in Canterbury. This year King Knute in London, in St. Paul's minster [Map], gave full leave60 to Archbishop Ethelnoth, Bishop Britwine, and all God's servants that were with them, that they might take up from the grave the archbishop, Saint Elphege. And they did so, on the sixth day [8th June 1023] before the ides of June; and the illustrious king, and the archbishop, and the diocesan bishops, and the earls, and very many others, both clergy and laity, carried by ship his holy corpse over the Thames to Southwark [Map]. And there they committed the holy martyr to the archbishop and his companions; and they with worthy pomp and sprightly joy carried him to Rochester. There on the third day came the Lady Emma [aged 38] with her royal son Hardacnute [aged 5]; and they all with much majesty, and bliss, and songs of praise, carried the holy archbishop into Canterbury Cathedral [Map], and so brought him gloriously into the church, on the third day [11th June 1023] before the ides of June. Afterwards, on the eighth day, the seventeenth [15th June 1023] before the calends of July, Archbishop Ethelnoth, and Bishop Elfsy, and Bishop Britwine, and all they that were with them, lodged the holy corpse of Saint Elphege on the north side of the altar of Christ; to the praise of God, and to the glory of the holy archbishop, and to the everlasting salvation of all those who there his holy body daily seek with earnest heart and all humility. May God Almighty have mercy on all Christian men through the holy intercession of Elphege!
Note 60. Matthew of Westminster says the king took up the body with his own hands.
On 11th June 1183 Henry the Young King [aged 28] died at Castle of Martel clasping a ring his father had sent as a token of forgiveness. He was buried at Rouen Cathedral [Map].
Annals of Six Kings of England by Nicholas Trivet. Henry, the young king of England, died [on 11th June 1183]. He had bequeathed his body to the church of Rouen. His death was mourned by the princes and knights who were accustomed to accompany him with such grief that nothing like it had been heard since ancient times. The citizens of Le Mans, through whose city the funeral procession was being carried, forced the body to be buried there the next day, after it had rested during the night in their principal church. But the church of Rouen, to which he had devoted himself, did not neglect its right. Through the efforts of the noble man Robert, dean of Rouen, the people of Le Mans were compelled after ten weeks to return the body. From Le Mans to Rouen, a journey of four days, it was carried only upon the shoulders of princes and noblemen. There it was honourably buried in the metropolitan church, to the right of the high altar, accompanied, as some writers report, by the glory of miracles. His father the king is said to have lamented his death with inconsolable grief.
Henricus rex Angliæ junior moritur, qui corpus suum legavit ecclesiæ Rothomagensi. Mortem ejus planxerunt principes et milites, qui eam comitari solebant, tanto dolore, ut nullus ab antiquis temporibus ei similis audiretur. Cives Cenomannenses, per quorum urbem erat funus deportandum, cum nocte in ecclesia eorum majori quievisset, coegerunt illud ibidem in crastino sepeliri. Sed ecclesia Rothomagensis, cui se devoverat, jus suum non negligens, agente viro nobili Roberto Rothomagensi decano, Cenomanenses post decem septimanas compulit reddere sibi funus. Quod a Cenomannis usque Rothomagum, quatuor videlicet dietis, non nisi principum et nobilium virorum cervicibus est delatum; ubi in metropolitana basilica juxta majus altare a dextris, non sine miraculorum gloria, ut nonnulli scribunt, honorifice est sepultum. Mortem vero ejus rex pater inconsolabiliter dicitur deplorasse.
Annals of Six Kings of England by Nicholas Trivet. 1184. Gerard, bishop of Coventry, died after holding the office for eighteen weeks. Richard, archbishop of Canterbury, died after having held the see for nine years, forty-five weeks, and five days, at Hallings, a manor belonging to the bishop of Rochester. Walter, bishop of Lincoln, was nominated to become archbishop of Rouen. The king of England, passing through Flanders, came into England on 11th June (the third day before the Ides of June). The duke of Saxony likewise came to England, and at Winchester, within a few days, the duchess gave birth to a son named William.
1184. GERARDUS Coventrensis, cum sedisset octodecim septimanis, in fata concessit. Ricardus Cantuariensis archiepiscopus, cum sedisset annis novem, hebdomadis quadraginta quinque, diebus quinque, mortem subiit apud Halinges, quæ est villa episcopi Roffensis. Walterus, Lincolniensis episcopus, in Rothomagensem archiepiscopum postulatur. Rex Anglorum, per Flandriam transiens, venit in Angliam tertio idus Junii. Dux Saxoniæ similiter in Angliam venit, cui apud Wyntoniam infra paucos dies ducissa peperit filium, nomine Willelmum.
Annals of Six Kings of England by Nicholas Trivet. 1189. After the truce between the kings of France and England and Richard, count of Poitou, had expired, a conference was held twice near La Ferté-Bernard. At length, after long negotiations, they parted from one another in disagreement. The king of France and the count of Poitou, having gathered forces from all sides, within a few days seized La Ferté-Bernard, Montfort, Baugé, and Beaumont by assault; and the inhabitants of the surrounding districts also surrendered their castles to Count Richard. Geoffrey of Mayenne, Guy of Laval, and Ralph, lord of Fougères, enemies of the king of England, went over to Count Richard. While the king of England was staying at Le Mans, the king of France and the count of Poitou approached with a large multitude of armed men. The king of England, although he had a very great number of soldiers ready to resist the enemy, nevertheless, fearing to be shut in by a siege, left Le Mans well supplied with provisions. On the day after the feast of St Barnabas [11th June 1189], a fierce fire set by the king of England's men quickly consumed the suburbs. The king of France and the count of Poitou entered the city and were received with a solemn procession in the principal church. After the tenth day, the tower near the gate that faces the north was, by order of the king of England, surrendered to the king of France. At last peace between these great princes was restored by the counsel of the magnates in the following manner: everything that had been taken from the king of England after the taking of the cross, both the castle of Ralph and the other places within the province of Bourges, was restored to him. To the king of France twenty thousand marks were paid as compensation for the expenses he had incurred concerning the castle of Ralph. Afterwards the king of England did homage to the king of France and renounced to him whatever he or his predecessors had possessed in Auvergne. These things were done on the vigil of the apostles Peter and Paul [28th June 1189].
1189. Post lapsas treugas inter reges Francorum et Anglorum, et Ricardum comitem Pictavorum, bis habitum est colloquium prope Feritatem Bernardi. Ad ultimum, post longos tractatus, discordes ab invicem discesserunt. Rex Francorum et comes Pictavensis, copiis undique congregatis, intra paucos dies Feritatem Bernardi, Montem-fortem, Baahim, Bellum-montem, factis irruptionibus, occuparunt; a municipalibus quoque circumquaque comiti Ricardo fit deditio castellorum. Galfridus de Meduana, Guido de Valle, Radulphus dominus Fulgeriarum, hostes regis Anglorum, ad Ricardum comitem transfugerunt. Rege Anglorum Cenomannis residente, appropinquabant rex Francorum et comes Pictaviæ, cum armatorum multitudine copiosa. Rex vero Anglorum, quamvis militum multitudinem maximam haberet, paratam ad hostibus resistendum, præcavens tamen obsidione vallari, Cenomannis sufficienter victulibus refertam reliquit. In crastino sancti Barnabæ, vehemens ignis a parte regis Anglorum injectus, intra modicum temporis, suburbana consumpsit. Rex Franciæ et comes Pictavensis, urbem ingressi, cum processione solemni in majori ecclesia sunt recepti. Post decimum diem, turris prope portam quæ respicit ad aquilonem, de mandato regis Anglorum, regi Francorum reddita est. Tandem pax inter tantos principes, magnatum consilio, reformata est in hunc modum: Anglorum regi restituebantur omnia, tam Castrum Radulphi, quam alia post crucem susceptam ablata, scilicet intra Bituricam provinciam. Regi Francorum numerata sunt viginti millia marcarum, expensarum nomine, quos fecerat circa Castrum Radulphi. Postmodum rex Anglorum homagium fecit regi Francorum; et eidem quietum clamavit quicquid in Alvernia ipse vel prædecessores sui possederant. Facta sunt hæc in vigilia apostolorum Petri et Pauli.
Adam Murimuth Continuation. In this year, before Pentecost, Archbishop Robert excommunicated Walter, bishop of Coventry, because he refused to answer in a provincial council concerning the fact that he had sworn to observe the aforesaid ordinances but afterwards, and contrary to them, had adhered to the king's council and had caused the said Piers de Gaveston to be reconciled and the ordinances to be invalidated. This, however, occurred before the death of the said Piers. Whereupon the same bishop appealed to the Apostolic See and went there in person; and Adam Murimuth, clerk of the said archbishop, was sent against him by the archbishop around the feast of Saint Barnabas [11th June 1312].
Hoc anno, ante Pentecosten archiepiscopus Robertus excommunicavit Walterum episcopum Coventriensem, quia noluit in provinciali concilio respondere super eo quod ipse fuit juratus servare dictas ordinationes, sed post et contra eas adhæsit concilio regis et fecit dictum Petrum de Gaverstone reconciliari et ordinationes infirmari; sed hoc fuit ante mortem dicti Petri. Unde episcopus idem ad sedem apostolicam appellavit, et personaliter ipsam adivit; et Adam Murimuth, clericus dicti archiepiscopi, contra eum per archiepiscopum destinatus, circa festum sancti Barnabæ.

There was speculation [Source Unknown?] that the biological father was Edmund Beaufort 1st or 2nd Duke of Somerset [aged 24] with whom Catherine of Valois Queen Consort England was rumoured to have had an affair. Interesting, perhaps, that he was named Edmund rather than Owen. Interesting that he took the Royal Arms of England differenced. Also interesting that his younger brother was named Jasper; a Persian name meaning 'Keeper of the Treasure' or 'bringer of treasure' that was unknown in England before his birth. He married 1st November 1455 his half fourth cousin once removed Margaret Beaufort Countess Richmond, daughter of John Beaufort 1st Duke of Somerset and Margaret Beauchamp Duchess Somerset, and had issue.
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.'

Memoires Jacques du Clercq. In that same year 1467, on the 11th day of June, by command of the Count of Charolais, Maillotin du Bacq, provost of the marshals, between five and six in the morning, entered the Cour-le-Comte in the town of Arras, and there took a prisoner named Guillaume Weré, a native of the city of Arras, and led him out of the town to the wood of Mofflaines, where he had him hanged and strangled from a tree. The reason was that this Guillaume Weré, about thirty years of age, married and having three or four children, had seized by force a woman of the town of Arras, who had gone into the fields to see the growing grain she had leased for the coming harvest, and dragged her into that field and violated her against her will. Guillaume was accompanied by another man named Jehan, also of Arras, who, after Guillaume had done as he wished with her, did the same, and against her will violated her and took her by force. After this, they took the money from her purse. This Guillaume was known to be of bad life, and had especially been reproved several times for theft and other offenses, and the same was true of his companion. They were both taken prisoner and claimed clerical privilege, and the said Jehan was handed over to his ordinary, but the people of Arras refused to release Guillaume and delayed matters until they had sent information about him to the Count of Charolais. After reviewing it, the count promptly sent his provost of the marshals to Arras, ordering him to make further inquiry into Guillaume, and if he found that the information sent to him was true, to have him hanged without delay, as he did. He found the charges to be true, and even more besides, and thus carried out the count's will by executing justice as described. And if he had been able to seize the other companion, whom he diligently sought but could not find, he would have done the same to him as to Guillaume.
Audit an lxvij, le xje jour de juing, par le commandement du comte de Charollois, Maillotin du Bacq, prevost des mareschaulx, entre cinq et six heures du matin, en la ville d'Arras, entra en la Cour-le-Comte, et illecq ung prisonnier nommé Guillaume Weré, natif de la cité d'Arras, emmena hors de la ville, au bois de Mofflaines, auquel lieu a ung arbre le feit pendre et estrangler; et la cause fust pour ce que icelluy Guillaume Weré, de l'age de trente ans ou environ, lui estant marrié et ayant trois ou quatre enfants, une femme de la ville d'Arras, laquelle alloit aulx champs veoir des bleds croissants qu'elle avoit prins a loyer a l'aoust prochain, prist par forche et la traisna audit bled, et la viola contre sa vollonté. Icelluy Guillaume estoit accompagnié d'ung campagnon nommé Jehan, de la ville d'Arras, lequel après que ledit Guillaume euist fait sa vollonté d'elle, en feit autant que ledit Guillaume, et contre son gré et vollonté la viola et prist sa compagnie; et après qu'ils eurent ce fait, tollit a ladite femme l'argent de sa bourse. Icelluy Guillaume estoit renommé d'estre de malle vie, et par especial avoit esté plusieurs fois reprins de larchin et d'aultres choses, et pareillement estoit son compagnon; ils feurent touts deux prins prisonniers et requis de leur courronne comme clercqs, et fust ledit Jehan rendu a son ordinaire; mais ceulx de la ville d'Arras ne vollurent rendre ledit Guillaume, mais differerent tant qu'ils eurent envoyé devers le comte de Charollois son information: laquelle veue, le comte de Charollois prestement envoya son prevost des mareschaux a Arras, qu'il feit aultre information d'icelluy Guillaume; et s'il trouvoit que l'information qu'on lui avoit envoyée fust vraye, que prestement le feit pendre, comme il feit; et trouva ladite information vraye et encore plus, par quoy il accomplist la vollonté du comte en faisant justice comme dit est, et s'il euist peu avoir l'aultre son compagnon, duquel il feit bonne diligence, mais il ne le peult ravoir, il en euist fait pareillement que dudit Guillaume.

Perceived by his letters that my Lord's pleasure is that Lady Margaret's secretaries should be with him on Friday morning. Tuke will be there, but is forbidden to ride, and will therefore go by water. Is to assure Wolsey [aged 45] that Stephens' letters did not come in the packet, as the bishop of Bath stated; and therefore Tuke supposed they were either in Mr. Peter's (Vannes') packet, or the same as the letters in Latin to Wolsey. Doubts not that the Cardinal will find they were not sent in the packet Tuke had. Missed them as soon as he read the bishop of Bath's letters, expecting himself to have heard from Mr. Stephens. This is all he can say. Thinks they have been left out of the packet by inadvertence, or else that my Lord of Bath called Mr. Gregory's Mr. Stephens' letters. The bishop of Bath's packet came whole in a cover from the deputy of Calais, who said they had "flyen over the walls to him at 10 of the clock at night, and should fly over again to the post, to send them over incontinently; and with that packet was a truss in canvas, directed to my Lord's grace, which was not cast over the walls." The letters of sundry dates were put by Twichet into one packet. Sends various letters, and mentions others that came; some directed to the ambassador of Florence, others for Anthony Vivaldi, one to Nich. Carewe. Begs he may come on Friday, as, but for the King and Wolsey's commandment, he would not stir from his chamber for £100, "till a thing that is amiss in my body be better amended, for stirring is the most dangerous thing I can do, and besides potions and other medicines I am anointed morning and evening, and have other things administered to me not meet to be used in Court." London, Corpus Christ evening, late.

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.

Letters and Papers Foreign and Domestic Henry VIII 1528. 11th June 1528. R. O. Wood's Lett., vol. II. 39. 4357. Lady Elizabeth Tailbois [aged 57] to Wolsey [aged 55].
Has received his letters, dated Durham Place, 15 May, desiring her to deliver to Sir Gilbert Tailbois [aged 30], her son, lands to the yearly value of £100, the residue of those worth £200, appointed by Act of Parliament to him and his wife [aged 30] after her husband's decease, an annuity of £40, and the money received from the lands from Mayday last. Will give him the lands, but begs to be excused from giving the money for the following reasons:-1. Since her husband's [aged 61] visitation, when he was committed to Wolsey by the King, his rents have been employed for household expences and the marriages of his children, and not in wasteful expences. 2. There is now 150 marks owing of the marriage money of one of their children, for which her nearest friends are bound. 3. Her other son [aged 26], brother to Sir Gilbert, has no assignment for his living, and must be provided for. 4. William Bongham, an old servant of her husband's, who was accustomed to provide wheat and grain for the household, has gone away with money enough to provide for the whole year, and she is obliged to make fresh provision with the rents of the lordships for which her son Sir Gilbert asks, and of other lands also. 6. There are 10 score wild beasts in the lordship of Kyme, from which they used to provide beef for the household, but from which they can now get no profit. Has had little comfort since her husband's last visitation, "and for the pleasure of God I have yielded me thereunto," and now my husband is aged it would be hard to live in penury, and be unable to discharge our friends of the sums in which they are bound for us.

Has at last conduced to the setting forward of Campeggio [aged 53], as will appear by the Cardinal's letters sent to Fox. Thinks the King will be satisfied with their services. It is a great heaviness to them to be accused of want of diligence and sincerity. After many altercations and promises made to the Pope, he has consented at last to send the commission by Campeggio. We urged the Pope to express the matter in special terms, but could not prevail with him in consequence of the difficulty. He said you would understand his meaning by the words, "inventuri sumus aliquam formam." I may be deceived, but I think the Pope means well. If I thought otherwise I would certainly tell the truth, for your Majesty is templum fidei et veritatis unicum in orbe relictum. Your Majesty will now understand how much the words spoken by you to Tuke do prick me. Apologises for his rude writing. Viterbo [Map], 11 June.

My Lord, in my most humble wise I desire you to pardon me that I am so bold to trouble you with my simple and rude writing, proceeding from one who is much desirous to know that your Grace does well, as I perceive by this bearer. The great pains you take for me, both day and night, are never likely to be recompensed, "but alonely in loving you, next unto the King's grace, above all creatures living," as my deeds shall manifest. I long to hear from you news of the Legate, and hope they will be very good.
Added by the King:-The writer of this would not cease till she had called me likewise to set to my hand. Both of us desire to see you, and are glad to hear you have escaped the plague so well, trusting the fury of it is abated, especially with those that keep good diet, as I trust you do. The not hearing of the Legate's arrival in France causeth us somewhat to muse; but we trust by your diligence shortly to be eased of that trouble.
Letters and Papers Foreign and Domestic Henry VIII 1534. 11th June 1534. R. O. 823. Sir Edward Ryngeley to Lord Lisle [aged 70].
The King and Queen are in good health. I came to the Court on Tuesday last about 3 o'clock. I was not there half an hour before his Grace sent for me into a garden which he has just made. He asked me heartily how you did, and whether the town was free from sickness and clean kept, of which I assured him. It would be well for you to speak to master Mayor for the mending of the two gutters from the market to Our Lady Church. If he lack paviours I can send them from London. The King is well conttented that his works go so well forward. I told him in the Treasurer's presence how much more is done in thickness than appears in the book, both in the two towers and the walls. The King is well contented with the pains you have taken about them and the sandhills, and is pleased with the conduct of his retinue, as I think they will see when he comes thither. I advise you to let the drags and ploughs go still upon the sandhills till you can shoot level over them from the mount at Becham Tower. I have not asked the King for wood or anything else, because the letters you promised to send have not come. I wish they were, for I trust to be shortly at Calais. As to my own business, the market was done before I came. We have a new lord Warden of "the Porche," Lord Rochford [aged 31]. Sir John Dudley is master of the armery, Sir Antony Browne standard-bearer, and master Harper has the "awnage," that is the sealing of the cloth in Kent. Today the King comes to York Place to supper and dines there tomorrow, and to Waltham to bed, and on Saturday to Hunsdon [Map], where he will remain all next week. He will not be at Hampton Court till Saturday week. I have given all your recommendations to your friends except to master Kingston and master Norrys. The former is at Wanstead, and the latter came to the Court late on Tuesday night. A great sum of money has been stolen from him, so that he is not pleasantly disposed to be spoken with. I have no other news, but I hope to know more before I come out of Essex. Recommendations to the Mayor, lord Edmund, master Wynkefeld, Mr. Porter, Mr. Treasurer [aged 44], Mr. Undermarshal and Mr. Ruckwode. Hampton Court, 11 June. Signed.
I pray you be contented with my meaning, for my inditing is but reasonable.

Letters of Thomas Cranmer. 11th June 1540. Archbishop Thomas Cranmer [aged 50] writes to King Henry VIII on behalf of Thomas Cromwell 1st Earl Essex [aged 55] who had recently been arrested. The letter is not extant but was printed originally in Edward Herbert, Baron of Cherbury's The Life and Raigne of King Henry VIII in 1649.
"I heard yesterday in your Grace's Council, that he (Crumwell) is a traitor, yet who cannot be sorrowful and amazed that he should be a traitor against your Majesty, he that was so advanced by your Majesty; he whose surety was only by your Majesty; he who loved your Majesty, as I ever thought, no less than God; he who studied always to set forwards whatsoever was your Majesty's will and pleasure; he that cared for no man's displeasure to serve your Majesty; he that was such a servant in my judgment, in wisdom, diligence, faithfulness, and experience, as no prince in this realm ever had; he that was so vigilant to preserve your Majesty from all treasons, that few could be so secretly conceived, but he detected the same in the beginning? If the noble princes of memory, King John, Henry the Second, and Richard II had had such a counsellor about them, I suppose that they should never have been so traitorously abandoned, and overthrown as those good princes were: I loved him as my friend, for so I took him to be; but I chiefly loved him for the love which I thought I saw him bear ever towards your Grace, singularly above all other. But now, if he be a traitor, I am sorry that ever I loved him or trusted him, and I am very glad that his treason is discovered in time; but yet again I am very sorrowful; for who shall your Grace trust hereafter, if you might not trust him? Alas! I bewail and lament your Grace's chance herein, I wot not whom your Grace may trust. But I pray God continually night and day, to send such a counsellor in his place whom your Grace may trust, and who for all his qualities can and will serve your Grace like to him, and that will have so much solicitude and care to preserve your Grace from all dangers as I ever thought he had…

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.

He arrived safe at Holland, where he met with others of his own Principles and Designs, and having fled from Justice in Ergland thought to abscond there, but Mr. Chudley who is his Majesties Envoy at the Hague, being acquainted that several late Consspirators were come over to holland, and were lurking about leyden and other places, obtaind leave of the states to search those parts he had suspicion of, and so take into Custody all such offenders, who having been Rebels and Traytors to so good and gracious a Prince, could no ways deserve the least favour or protection from them.

John Evelyn's Diary. 11th June 1696. Dined at Lord Pembroke's [aged 40], Lord Privy Seal, a very worthy gentleman.

Angelo of a man gathering fruit to give to a woman, and a large book of the best drawings of the old masters. Sir John Fenwick [aged 51], one of the conspirators, was taken. Great subscriptions in Scotland to their East India Company. Want of current money to carry on the smallest concerns, even for daily provisions in the markets. Guineas lowered to twenty-two shillings, and great sums daily transported to Holland, where it yields more, with other treasure sent to pay the armies, and nothing considerable coined of the new and now only current stamp, cause such a scarcity that tumults are every day feared, nobody paying or receiving money; so imprudent was the late Parliament to condemn the old though clipped and corrupted, till they had provided supplies. To this add the fraud of the bankers and goldsmiths, who having gotten immense riches by extortion, keep up their treasure in expectation of enhancing its icon. Duncombe, not long since a mean goldsmith, having made a purchase of the late Duke of Buckingham's estate at nearly £90,000, and reputed to have nearly as much in cash. Banks and lotteries every day set up.

Thomas Bateman 1845. On the 11th of June, 1845, a previously-removed barrow, upon Alsop Moor, was excavated. This step was caused by its deceptive appearance, the circular form being retained, owing to its having been raised upon a rocky knoll; consequently nothing of interest was discovered, but some pieces of human skull and the rats' bones, as usual, were found, which clearly proved the sepulchral intention of the mound.
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.

Ten Years' Digging. On the evenings of the 11th and 12th of June we investigated a barrow [Probably Ecton Barrow 1 [Map]] on Ecton Hill, which was partially opened on the 18th of May, 1848. On the south side we found a deposit of burnt bones, which had been placed in a large urn, with a projecting border ornamented with diagonal lines, accompanied by two unburnt tines of the antler of the red deer. The urn was much broken when found. Towards the east side was a skeleton much broken and decayed, the head towards the outside; accompanied by a few burnt bones, fragments of earthenware, a few pieces of flint, and animal bones, including a boar's tusk. At the south-west side of the mound were more human bones, which had been disturbed by miners, who finding lead in the tumulus, had concluded it to be the site of an ancient bloomery or smelting-place, such being formerly established on hills for the sake of the draught; their locality is yet indicated by the word Bole, as Bole Hill, &c.
Ten Years' Digging. The large barrow at Castern [Map], near Wetton, first opened on the 14th of June, 1845, was again investigated on the evenings of the 5th, 6th, and 11th of June. On the former occasion, a trench was dug from the south-west side, towards the middle, and on the present a supplementary cutting was made parallel with each side of it. In the western one were no signs of any interment; some human bones, evidently removed from another situation, and some chippings of flint, alone being observed. In the other trench we found the disturbed skeletons of two persons, the skull of one exhibiting the frontal suture, and the usual fragments of flint, pottery, charcoal, and rats' bones. The advancing shades of evening now compelled us to relinquish our labour, and the want of success induced us to fill up the cutting; but on after consideration we determined to make another attempt in the same direction as where we left off, as that part of the mound was stony to the summit, and mingled with charcoal and detached human bones, whilst elsewhere the superstructure was of earth, resting on a foundation of stone. Hence the inference that a later interment had taken place, the stone dug up in making the grave being thrown in again above it. Accordingly, on the 11th June, we resumed our labours, and were soon rewarded by the discovery of a skeleton upon the floor of the barrow, accompanied by several instruments of flint, three of which lay under the head and shoulders. A more uncommon article, a bronze armilla, was found beneath the edge of a stone that lay upon the skeleton, and in contact with the pelvis, into which it was slightly forced by the pressure, which had likewise broken it into two pieces. It is made of a flat ribbon of bronze, half an inch broad, with over-lapping ends to preserve elasticity, ornamented outside with a neatly engraved lozengy pattern, and has a span of 2⅜ inches diameter. The body appeared to have been laid on its back, with the head to the west, but the bones were so imperfect as to render this not quite certain. Wherever we dug in the barrow there were broken human bones and numerous remains of rats.

The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson.

The True Chronicles of Jean le Bel Volume 1 Chapters 1-60 1307-1342
The True Chronicles of Jean le Bel offer one of the most vivid and immediate accounts of 14th-century Europe, written by a knight who lived through the events he describes, and experienced some of them first hand. Covering the early decades of the Hundred Years’ War, this remarkable chronicle follows the campaigns of Edward III of England, the politics of France and the Low Countries, and the shifting alliances that shaped medieval warfare. Unlike later historians, Jean le Bel writes with a strong sense of eyewitness authenticity, drawing on personal experience and the testimony of fellow soldiers. His narrative captures not only battles and sieges, but also the realities of military life, diplomacy, and the ideals of chivalry that governed noble society. A key source for Jean Froissart, Le Bel’s chronicle stands on its own as a compelling and insightful work, at once historical record and literary achievement. This translation builds on the 1905 edition published in French by Jules Viard, adding extensive translations from other sources Rymer's Fœdera, the Chronicles of Adam Murimuth, William Nangis, Walter of Guisborough, a Bourgeois of Valenciennes, Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke and Richard Lescot to enrich the original text and Viard's notes.

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.

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.
