Jean de Waurin's Chronicle of England Volume 6 Books 3-6: The Wars of the Roses
Jean de Waurin was a French Chronicler, from the Artois region, who was born around 1400, and died around 1474. Waurin’s Chronicle of England, Volume 6, covering the period 1450 to 1471, from which we have selected and translated Chapters relating to the Wars of the Roses, provides a vivid, original, contemporary description of key events some of which he witnessed first-hand, some of which he was told by the key people involved with whom Waurin had a personal relationship.

Effigy in Gosberton Church, Lincolnshire is in Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.
THIS unappropriated figure presents a good example of the chain-mail armour of the thirteenth century. It is presumed to belong to the family of Reya.
Note a. There was formerly another mutilated Effigy in a chapel which has since been used as the schoolhouse, and an inscription to Nicholas Rey and his son Edmund; as we learn from a Collection of Lincolnshire epitaphs, made by the Rev. Robert Smyth in the middle of the last century, and now in the possession of J. B. Nichols, Esq. F.S.A.
