These two Latin chronicles are principally concerned with the
events of the mid-fourteenth century, and are particularly
interesting for their accounts of the French campaigns of Edward
III in the 1340s and 1350s. The chronicle of Adam Murimuth
(c.1275-1347), which the writer designed to be a continuation of
earlier works, begins in 1303 and extends to 1347. Although it is
meagre at first, its latter parts are much fuller as Murimuth was
able to draw on contemporary accounts. The chronicle of the deeds
of Edward III by Robert of Avesbury (d.1359) is a military history
of his reign up to the year 1356. It makes use of important
documents that are not reproduced elsewhere. Published in 1889,
this edition by Edward Maunde Thompson (1840-1929) includes an
introduction providing historical background and relating what
little is known of each chronicler. The Latin texts are accompanied
by English side-notes.
