Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough. In the year of our Lord 1303, after the truce had expired, the king sent the strength of his army into Scotland under Sir John de Segrave (age 47) and his brothers, for they were very valiant knights. Thinking themselves in no danger, and being near Edinburgh at the beginning of Lent, and unaware of the Scots' ambush, our men divided into three companies, each about two leagues apart from the others. Sir John himself, with three hundred men-at-arms, was the nearest to the enemy, who lay hidden from him. Then, early at dawn on the first Sunday of Lent [24th February 1303], one of his own squires came and told him that the enemy was at hand, advising him to rejoin his companions, for together they need have no fear. But he refused, unwilling that a blemish should be set on his courage by seeming to retreat. Instead, armed, he advanced to meet them. Many fell on both sides, and Sir John himself was grievously wounded and taken prisoner. More than twenty chosen knights were captured with him. Yet when some of our men from the second company arrived, they seized him from his guards and carried him away. Also slain there was Sir Ralph le Coffrere, who was in the king's pay. The rest returned to England, bringing the king ill news.
Anno Domini MCCCII, elapsis treugis, misit rex robur exercitus in Scotiam, cum domino Johanne de Segrave et fratribus suis, erant enim milites strenuissimi. Cumque non timerent sibi, et essent juxta Edeneburgh, in principio Quadragesimæ, nec scirent Scotorum insidias, diviserunt se nostri per tres turmas, et distabant ab invicem quasi per duas leucas. Eratque ipse dominus Johannes cum trecentis armatis proximior hostibus, qui latebant eum. Et ecce puer unus ex suis summo diluculo primæ Dominicæ Quadragesimæ veniens, nunciavit ei hostes ad manum esse; consuluitque ut reverteretur ad consocios, et conglobati non timerent. Sed noluit suæ strenuitati notam impingi ut retrocederet; imo armatus processit eis obviam, cecideruntque multi hinc et inde, et ipse letaliter vulneratus est et captus. Captique sunt cum eo plusquam viginti milites electi; sed supervenientibus quibusdam ex nostris de secunda turma, rapuerunt eum a custodibus suis et abduxerunt. Corruit etiam ibi dominus Radulphus le Coffrere, qui ex parte regis stipendia ministrabat. Et reversi sunt alii in Angliam, deferentes sinistra nova regi.

All About History Books
The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson. Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.
