All About History Books
The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."

Chronicle of Edward Hall [1496-1548]. HE had skace ended his exhortacion, but the Englishmen beyng incouraged with his prudent persuasion, sette on their enemies, criyng, Sainct George, Bedford. And the Frenchemen likewise cried, Moutioye, sainct Denise. Then the arrowes flewe out of the long bowes on the one parte, the quarrelles out of the crosse bowes on the other parte. After thei came to hande strokes: greate was the fight, & terrible was the batfaill, with so indifferent Judgement of victory that no heraulde could determyne to whiche parte Fortune moste shewed her louyng countenaunce. For on bothe sides men wer slain and wounded, and on bothe partes some wer felled and recovered, thus stil in a doubtful Judgement, the battaill continued about three houres. The duke of Alauson in the meane season never ceased to exhorte and praie his people manly to fight, and not to suffre their enemies, (whiche wer at the very point to be overcome) by their faint hartes to be victors, and overcommers. Likewise the duke of Bedford rode about his armie, refreshing the weake with freshe men, and encoragyng his people with moste plesaunt wordes: But at the last when he perceiued the Frenchemen, what with heate, and with trauaill, to waxe wery and faint, and not to bee so freshe as thei wer before (for surely the nature of the Frenchmen, is not to labor long in fightyng, and muche more braggeth then fighteth) he with al his strength set incontinent on them with suche a violence, that they bare theim doune to the grounde by fine force. The French horsemen that daie did litle service: for the archers so galled their horses, that they desired not muche to approche their presence. This battaill was fought the xxvij. day of August, in the yere of our Lorde. M. CCCC. xxv. in the whiche battaill wer slain:
Of Frenchemen: The erle of Aumerle, The erle of Ventadore. The erle of Forestes. The erle of Mary. The lorde Grauile. The lorde Gaules. The lorde Fountaynes. The lorde of Amboys. The Vicount Thouars. The lorde Mounteney. The lorde of Combreste. The lorde of Brunell. The lorde Tumblet. The lorde of Poysy. And thre hundred knightes beside. The. Vicount Nerbon whose body was haged on a gibbet, because he was one of the murtherars, of the duke of Burgoyne.
