Abbot John Whethamstede’s Chronicle of the Abbey of St Albans
Abbot John Whethamstede's Register aka Chronicle of his second term at the Abbey of St Albans, 1451-1461, is a remarkable text that describes his first-hand experience of the beginning of the Wars of the Roses including the First and Second Battles of St Albans, 1455 and 1461, respectively, their cause, and their consequences, not least on the Abbey itself. His text also includes Loveday, Blore Heath, Northampton, the Act of Accord, Wakefield, and Towton, and ends with the Coronation of King Edward IV. In addition to the events of the Wars of the Roses, Abbot John, or his scribes who wrote the Chronicle, include details in the life of the Abbey such as charters, letters, land exchanges, visits by legates, and disputes, which provide a rich insight into the day-to-day life of the Abbey, and the challenges faced by its Abbot.

Chronicle of Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall
The Chronicle of Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall (Chronicon Anglicanum) is an indispensable medieval history that brings to life centuries of English and European affairs through the eyes of a learned Cistercian monk. Ralph of Coggeshall, abbot of the Abbey of Coggeshall in Essex in the early 13th century, continued and expanded his community’s chronicle, documenting events from the Norman Conquest of 1066 into the tumultuous reign of King Henry III. Blending eyewitness testimony, careful compilation, and the monastic commitment to record-keeping, this chronicle offers a rare narrative of political intrigue, royal power struggles, and social upheaval in England and beyond. Ralph’s work captures the reigns of pivotal figures such as Richard I and King John, providing invaluable insights into their characters, decisions, and the forces that shaped medieval rule. More than a simple annal, Chronicon Anglicanum conveys the texture of medieval life and governance, making it a rich source for scholars and readers fascinated by English history, monastic authorship, and the shaping of the medieval world.

Life Charles VI by a Monk of St Denis [~1420]. [August 1396]. In the beginning of August, as a sign of the marriage to be consummated between the daughter of the King of France, [his daughter-in-law] Joanna [aged 5], still three years old, and John [aged 6], the son of the Duke of Brittany [aged 57], a five-year-old youth, a solemn wedding banquet was celebrated in Paris in the presence of the king, the queen, the Duke of Brittany, and the lords of France. Although the betrothal had been agreed upon and confirmed between the parents of both after the year had already passed, since they were related in the third degree of consanguinity1 on the side of the duke's wife, Pope Benedict had delayed granting a dispensation on this matter. Moreover, the king did not grant any portion from the kingdom to the daughter, but promised three hundred thousand crowns of gold for the marriage, to be paid at certain terms after both reached marriageable age.
In principio augusti, in signum matrimonii consummendi inter filiam regis Francie Johannam, adhuc triennem, Johannemque filium ducis Britanie, adolescentem quinquennem, Parisius, in regis, regine, ducis Britanie et dominorum Francie presencia, nupciarum solemne celebratum est prandium. Quamvis anno jam transacto inter parentes amborum concordata et confirmata fuissent sponsalia, quia tamen in tercio gradu consanguinitatis ex parte uxoris ducis se mutuo attinebant, super hoc summus pontifex Benedictus distulerat dispensare. Eidem autem filie rex de regno nullam concessit porcionem, sed trecenta milia scuta auri promisit propter nupcias, certis terminis persolvenda, postquam annos nubiles uterque attigisset.
