Part of the Rolls Series of publications of historical documents,
this five-volume collection, originally compiled in the fifteenth
century, is the first history of England of this magnitude,
spanning almost two millennia. It is the work of French knight Jean
de Wavrin (c.1400-c.1473), a chronicler under Philip the Good and
Charles the Bold, Dukes of Burgundy. Wavrin participated in several
military expeditions, including some under the English banner, and
was keen to keep the kingdom as an ally. The chief editor,
archivist and antiquarian Sir William Hardy (1807-87), points out
that Wavrin selected the best-known oral and written materials and
added his own first-hand observations to tell a fascinating story
with a profusion of details. Volume 1, published in 1864, covers
the period from the mythical origins of Albion to the abdication
and conversion of King Caedwalla of Wessex.
