Death and Dissent: Two Fifteenth-Century Chronicles - The Dethe of the Kynge of Scotis, translated by John Shirley; `Warkworth's Chronicle': the Chronicle attributed to John Warkworth, Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge (Hardcover)

Edition of fifteenth-century chronicles providing important evidence for contemporary events, including the Wars of the Roses. This edition makes available for the first time to a wider audience two historically important fifteenth-century English chronicles, with full scholarly apparatus and comprehensive introductions. The Dethe of the Kynge of Scotis gives full and graphic accounts of the murder of James I of Scotland in 1437, and the subsequent executions of his assassins; translated from a lost Latin narrative by John Shirley, it is edited from the only full text thathas survived. `Warkworth's Chronicle', usually ascribed erroneously to John Warkworth, master of Peterhouse, Cambridge, is a frequently-cited source for events in the Wars of the Roses between 1461 and 1473, and gives a contemporary assessment of the supposed murders of Edward, Prince of Wales, and of Henry VI by Richard of Gloucester. Professor LISTER M. MATHESON taught at Michigan State University.
