DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis modernized extract from The Great Chronicle of London covers the reign of England's first Tudor king, Henry VII (1485-1509). It gives an eye-witness account of events in London, and of news from elsewhere, from the viewpoint of a well-to- do citizen who was closely involved in civic administration. It describes many notable public events: riots and uprisings, executions, coronations, royal marriages and funerals, and ceremonial activities involving the mayor and aldermen. Its year by year entries also cover matters like the weather, the cost of living, taxes, and the effects of building work undertaken in the city. Although its compiler worked to a scheme common to other London chronicles from the period, he was ready to express his own views on a number of matters, and wrote with keen observation and occasional wit.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe present period is so distinguished for historical research, that the publication of an English Chronicle, written in the fifteenth century, will not it is presumed require any other prefatory remarks to recommend it to attention, than a brief account of the MSS. from which it has been transcribed. Two copies are extant in the British Museum; the one in the Harleian MS. 565, the other in the Cottonian MS. Julius B. I. and the material variations between them are either alluded to, or inserted in the Notes. The copy in the Harleian MS. ends with the 22nd year of the reign of Henry the Sixth, Anno 1442, about which time the volume was evidently written: but the other transcript, which is in a much later hand, is continued to the death of Edward the Fourth, Anno 1483, though after the accession of that monarch the narrative is barren and unsatisfactory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKImmerse yourself in the rich tapestry of London's history from the 11th to the 15th century with 'A Chronicle of London'. Transcribed from two manuscripts housed in the British Museum, this fifteenth-century English chronicle offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. Delve into the reigns of Henry IV, V, and VI, as the writer, contemporaneous with those times, presents remarkable insights and lesser-known details. The meticulous record begins each year with the election of Lord Mayors and Sheriffs, providing a unique perspective on London's governance. Although the author remains anonymous, their dedication to capturing the spirit of the metropolis makes this chronicle a valuable addition to the history of both London and England.
