Part of the Rolls Series of historical documents, this five-volume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 5, published in 1891, begins with the
arrest of the Duke of Gloucester in 1447 and ends with the
restoration of Edward IV.
