Part of the Rolls series of historical documents, this five-volume collection, originally compiled in the fifteenth century, is the first history of England of this magnitude, spanning almost two millennia.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 4, published in 1884, begins with the crowning of Henry VI as King of France and ends with the Siege of Dieppe.

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.
