In the mid-1440s, French knight Jean de Wavrin (c.1400-c.1473) took
on the monumental task of compiling the first full-length history
of England, spanning almost two millennia. Wavrin, who belonged to
a noble family of Artois, was a chronicler under Philip the Good
and Charles the Bold, Dukes of Burgundy. During his military
career, he often fought on the side of the English, and was keen to
keep the kingdom as an ally. He gathered a unique collection of
records and used his own first-hand observations to write a work
that provides a fascinating insight into the interests and methods
of a medieval historian. Part of the Rolls series of publications
of historical documents, this volume, published in 1864, was
translated and edited by the archivist and antiquarian Sir William
Hardy (1807-87). It ranges from Albion's mythical origins to the
abdication and conversion of King Caedwalla of Wessex.
