Adae Murimuth Continuatio Chronicarum; Robertus de Avesbury de Gestis Mirabilibus Regis Edwardi Tertii

Adae Murimuth Continuatio Chronicarum; Robertus de Avesbury de Gestis Mirabilibus Regis Edwardi Tertii

Edward Maunde Thompson

These two Latin chronicles are principally concerned with the events of the mid-fourteenth century, and are particularly interesting for their accounts of the French campaigns of Edward III in the 1340s and 1350s. The chronicle of Adam Murimuth , which the writer designed to be a continuation of earlier works, begins in 1303 and extends to 1347. Although it is meagre at first, its latter parts are much fuller as Murimuth was able to draw on contemporary accounts. The chronicle of the deeds of Edward III by Robert of Avesbury is a military history of his reign up to the year 1356. It makes use of important documents that are not reproduced elsewhere. Published in 1889, this edition by Edward Maunde Thompson includes an introduction providing historical background and relating what little is known of each chronicler. The Latin texts are accompanied by English side-notes."
