Excerpt:
The chronicle throughout is very varied in the character of the events described: the exchange of livings with the dean and chapter of Exeter, the presents of one of the abbots to the monastery, the order of another respecting the dresses of the monks, appear side by side with the general affairs of the country; such as the marriage of the royal princesses and the taxation that followed; the ravages and consequent destruction of the new heretical sect of Shepherds in France; or the absolution of R. de Cirencester, who had been suspended for seizing a Cornish deacon by the hair in St. James’s, Bristol.
Who is this book for?
This translation is based on the 19th-century Annales Monastici, edited by Henry Richards Luard, and includes Luard’s original introduction. It will be a valuable resource for historians of 13th-century England, as well as for those interested in translated medieval texts.
