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.

She was flushed, and her eyes swollen and red and she had evidently been crying. The snow, the first this year, was falling and driving into her face. Yet she kept her veil up and bowed to the throng who lined the roads.
Note. Frederick and Victoria had married on the 25th of January 1858.
On 14th December 1861 [his father] Prince Albert Saxe Coburg Gotha (age 42) died at Windsor Castle [Map]. His wife, [his mother] Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom (age 42) never recovered from his death spending, more or less, the remainder of her life in mourning.
The Times. 24th December 1861. Yesterday, with little of the pomp and pageantry of a State ceremonial, but with every outward mark of respect, and with all the solemnity which befitted his high station and his public virties, the [his father] mortal remains of the husband (deceased) of our [his mother] Queen (age 42) were interred in the last resting-place of England's Sovereigns-the Chapel Royal of St. George's, Windsor [Map]. By the express desire of his Royal Highness the funeral was of the plainest and most private character; but in the Chapel, to do honour to his obsequies, were assembled all the chiefest men of the State, and throughout England, by every sign of sorrow and imourning, the nation manifested its sense of the loss wlhich it has sustaiined. Windsor itself wore an aspect of the most profound gloom. Every shop was closed and every blind drawn down. The streets were silent and almost deserted, and all wvho appeared abroad were dressed in the deepest mourning. The great bell of Windsor Castle [Map] clanged out: its doleful sound at intervals from an early hour, and minute bells were tolled also at St. John's Church. At the parish church of Cleover and at St. John's there were services in the morning and: aternoon, and the day was observed throughout the Royal borough in the strictest manner. The weather was in character with the occasion, a chill, damp air, with a dull leaden sky above, increased the gloom which hung over all. There were but few visitors in the town, for the procession did not pass beyond the immediate precincts of the Chapel and Castle, and none were admitted except those connected with the Castle andi their friends. At 11 o'clock a strong force of the A division took possession of the avenues leading to the Chapel Royal, and from that time only the guests specially invited and those who were to take part in the ceremonial were allowed to pass. Shortly afterwards a of honour of the Grenadier Guards, of which regiment his Royal Highness was Colonel, with the colonrs of the regiment shrouded in crape, marched in and took up its position before the principal entrance to the Chapel Royal. Another guard of honour from the same regiment was also on duty in the Quadrangle at the entrance to the State apartments. They were speedily followed by a squadron of the 2nd Life Guards dismounted, and by two companies of the Fusileer Guards, who were drawn uip in single file along each side of the road by which the procession was to pass, from the Norman gateway to the Chapel door. The officers wore the deepest military mourning-scarves, sword-knots, and rosettes of crape. In the Rome Park was stationed a troop of Horse Artillery, which commenced firing minute guns at the end of the Long Walk, advancing slowly until it reached the Castle gates just at the close of the ceremony. The Ministers, the officers of the Queen's Household, and other distinguished personages who had been honoured with an invitation to attend the ceremonial, reached Windsor a special train from Paddington. They were met by carriages provided for them at the station, and began to arrive at the Chapel Royal soon after 11 o'clock. The Earl of Derby (age 62), the Archbishop of Canterbury (age 81), Earl Russell (age 69), and the Duke of Buccleuch were among the first to make their appearance, and as they alighted at the door of the Chapel they were received by the proper officials and conducted to the seats appointed for them in the Choir. In the Great Quadrangle were drawn up the hearse and the mourning coaches, and, all the preparations having been completed within the Castle, the procession began to be formed shortly before 12 o'clock. It had been originally intended that it should leave the Castle by the St. George's gate, and, proceeding down Castle-hill, approach the Chapel through Henry VII.'s gateway, but at a late hour this arrangement was changed, and the shorter route by the Norman gatewvay was chosen.
The crowd which had gradually collected at the foot of Castle-hill, owing to this change, saw nothing of the procession but the empty carriages as they returned to the Castle after setting down at the Chapel. The few spectators who were fortunate enough to gain admission to the Lower Ward stood in a narrow fringe along the edge of the flags in front of the houses of the Poor Knights, and their presence was the only exception to the strict privacy of the ceremonial. The Prince of Wales (age 20) and the other Royal mourners assembled in the Oak Room, but did not form part of the procession. They were conveyed to the Chapel in private carriages before the coffin was placed in the hearse, passing through St. George's gatewayinto the Lower Ward. In the first carriage were the Prince of Wales, [his brother] Prince Arthur (age 11), and the [his brother] Duke of Saxe Coburg (age 8). The Crown Prince of Prussia (age 30), the Duke of Brabant (age 26), and the Count of Flanders (age 24) followed in the next; and in the others were the Duke de Nemours (age 47), Prince Louis of Hesse (age 24), Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar (age 38), and the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, with the gentlemen of their respective suites. Scarcely had they alighted at the door of Wolsey's Chapel, from which they were conducted through the Chapter Room to the door of the Chapel Royal to be in readiness to meet the coffin, when the first minute gun fired in tlhe distance, and the rattle of the troops reversing arms announced that the procession had started, and exactly at 12 o'clock the first mourning coach moved from under the Norman gateway. First came nine mourning coaches, each drawn by four horses, conveying the Physicians, Equerries, and other members of the household of the late Prince. In the last were the Lord Steward (age 63) (Earl St. Germans), the Lord Chamberlain (age 56) (Viscount Sidney), and the Master of the Horse (age 57) (the Marquis of Ailesbury). The carriages and trappings were of the plainest description; the horses had black velvet housings and feathers, but on the carriages there, were no feathers or ornaments of any kind. The mourning coaches were followed by one of the Queen's carriages, drawn by six horses, and attended by servants in State liveries, in which was the Groom of the Stole (age 26), Earl Spencer, carrying the crown, and a Lord of the Bedchamber, Lord George Lennox, carrying the baton, sword, and hat of his late Royal Highness. Next escorted by a troop of the 2nd Life Guards, came the hearse, drawn by six black horses, which, like the carriages, was quite plain and unornamented. On the housings of the horses and on the sides of the hearse were emblazoned the scutcheons of Her Majesty and of the Prince, each surmounted by a, crown, the Prince's arms being in black and Her Majesty's in white. The procession was closed by four State carriages.

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."

Adeline Horsey Recollections. As I was always fond of yachting I went for long cruises, usually accompanied by dear Maria Hill. We visited Trouville and Deauville, and in 1871, when I was at Trouville, the King, then Prince of Wales (age 27), came to tea with me on board the Sea Horse.
His Majesty honoured me with constant visits to my houses in town, Newmarket, and Cowes for many years, and I cannot write too enthusiastically about the pleasure I experienced from his agreeable visits and his kind friendship.
The King was a delightful companion, and he was most appreciative of my efforts to entertain him. We often discussed Art together, and those who say that a taste for High Art can only be acquired are quite wrong, for the King is a born artist.
On 28th February 1869 Violet Caroline Mordaunt Marchioness Bath was born illegitimately to Lowry Cole 4th Earl Enniskillen (age 23) and Harriet Moncreiffe Lady Mordaunt (age 21). Her paternity is speculative since she, Harriet, was married to Charles Mordaunt 10th Baronet (age 32) at the time of the birth. At the time of conception he had been away on an extended trip to Norway. The following year he sued for divorce threatening to bring the Prince of Wales (age 27) as a co-respondent being, allegedly, one of her many lovers. The divorce was denied as Lady Mordaunt was judged to be insane, but was finally granted in 1875 when Cole did not contest the claim that he was the father.
On 28th July 1869 [his brother-in-law] Frederick VIII King Denmark (age 26) and Louise of Sweden Queen Consort Denmark (age 17) were married. He the son of [his father-in-law] King Christian IX of Denmark (age 51) and [his mother-in-law] Queen Louise Hesse-Kassel of Denmark (age 51).

On 8th August 1871 Olga de Meyer was born at 14 William Street Lowndes Square. Possibly a daughter of the Prince of Wales (age 29).
On 1st December 1871 George Philip Cecil Arthur Stanhope 7th Earl Chesterfield (age 40) died of typhoid unmarried. His third cousin George (age 49) succeeded 8th Earl Chesterfield, 8th Baron Stanhope of Shelford in Nottinghamshire. He had been staying at Londesborough Lodge Scarborough with the Prince of Wales (age 30) who also contracted typhoid but survived.
Around 1872 Olivia Taylour unsuccessfully attempted, allegedly, to become the mistress of [his father] Prince Albert Saxe Coburg Gotha. Around the same time her daughter Mary "Patsy" Fitzpatrick (age 16), aged sixteen, became the mistress of his son King Edward VII of the United Kingdom (age 30). She, Patsy, was married off to William Cornwallis-West (age 36).
Adeline Horsey Recollections. My hunting recollections would not be complete without including among them the occasion in '73 when I went to a meet at Belvoir [Map], and met his Majesty King Edward VII (age 31), then Prince of Wales, who was staying at the Castle. I was riding my famous horse "Dandy", who won the Billesdon Coplow Stakes at Croxton Park, and that morning I was much exercised in my mind about a proposal of marriage I had just received from Disraeli (age 68). My uncle Admiral Rous (age 77), had said to me, "My dear, you can't marry that d---d old Jew", but I had known Disraeli all my life, and I liked him very well. He had, however, one drawback so far as I was concerned, and that was his breath - the ill odour of politics perhaps! In ancient Rome a wife could divorce her husband if his breath were unpleasant, and had Dizzy lived in those days his wife would have been able to divorce him without any difficulty. I was wondering whether I could possibly put up with this unfortunate attribute in a great man, when I met the King, who was graciously pleased to ride with me. In the course of our conversation I told him about Disraeli's proposal and asked him whether he would advise me to accept it, but the King said he did not think the marriage would be a very happy one.
I lunched with the Royal party at Belvoir Castle [Map], and as I rode home afterwards I felt well pleased that I had decided not to become the wife of a politician!
The Times. 2nd February 1874. THE MARRIAGE FESTIVITIES IN RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURIG. Jan 31 Yesterday the [his brother] Duke (age 29) and Duchess of Edinburgh (age 20), the Prince (age 32) and [his wife] Princess of Wales (age 29), and [his brother] Prince Arthur (age 23) were present with all the Imperial family at the ball given by the Cesarewvitch.

This evening a grand dinner, to which 400 guests are invited, will be given by the British Ambassador to the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany and Prince Arthur. Later on in the evening all the English Princes will go to the ball given at the Hall of the Nobles at 9:30.
On 12th December 1874 the jewels of Georgina Moncrieffe Countess Dudley (age 28) were stolen at Paddington Station. The earl offered a £1,000 reward and anonymity to the thief if the jewels should be returned but they were never seen again. The Times reported:
The robbery of Lady Dudley's jewel-case outside the Great Western Railway Station, at Paddington, on Saturday evening, just previous to the starting of the Worcester express leaving London at 6.30pm, was effected under circumstances which leave little doubt that the thief was a practised hand, and had laid his plans with an ingenuity worthy of a better purpose. Lord (age 57) and Lady Dudley arrived at the railway station in his lordship's brougham at 6.20pm, and were immediately followed by a four-wheeled cab conveying two of the Countess' waiting women, each in charge of a ponderous jewel box and other articles of a lady's toilette. Scott, one of the women, was the first who alighted, and having deposited upon the pavement the box under her care, while turning round to assist her companion, for better security and with commendable caution placed one foot upon the jewel-case. In an unlucky instant her attention was diverted by the other maid, and she removed her foot from the box. Her companion having alighted, Scott stooped to recover the box, when, to her great consternation, she found it had been removed. An instant search was made by the Earl's servants and by the railway officials in attendance, but no tidings could be gained of it. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales (age 33) arrived at this moment to travel by the same train in a 'slip carriage' as far as Slough on his way to Windsor, and a desire on the part of the railway authorities to despatch the train punctually led to some little confusion, amid which the express left the station without any intelligence of the missing box having been obtained. The Worcester express made its first stoppage at Reading. On arriving there Lord Dudley alighted, and explaining to the station agent the circumstances, requited that every compartment in the train should be searched, in the hope that the missing box might have been separated from his other luggage. The search proving fruitless, his Lordship decided upon returning to London at once, which he did, accompanied by the lady's maid, in a special train as soon as the express had left Reading. On reaching Paddington, he drove direct to his jewellers, Messrs Hunt and Roskell, of New Bond Street, whither the police from Scotland Yard were immediately summoned. Under their advice a detailed list of the lost jewels was prepared and circulated among the leading metropolitan and local pawnbrokers. Among the principal articles lost may be mentioned a pearl and diamond bracelet, presented by the inhabitants of Dudley on the occasion of the marriage of the Earl and Countess; a diamond collette necklace, a diamond cross, a sapphire and diamond bracelet, a diamond necklace with pearl and diamond drops, a pair of very fine pearl earrings, two pairs of diamond earrings, five diamond stars, three diamond butterflies, a cat's-eye pendant and earrings, a diamond padlock, a ruby and diamond pendant, an emerald and diamond watch with enamelled chain, a turquoise and ruby watch, an enamelled and diamond watch, and a crystal watch. We are informed on undoubted authority that the amount of loss of Lady Dudley's jewellery is not half what it was first stated to be.

Henry Chaplin A Memoir: 2 Family and Social Life Part II. The Prince of Wales (age 34) was admitted to the secret a very few days after his departure from Goodwood, and on August 2 [1876] we find him writing to Mr. Chaplin (age 35):
Let me offer you my most sincere congratulations on your engagement to one of the most charming young ladies whom I know and whom I have had the advantage of knowing ever since her childhood. I certainly did think you rather reticent at Goodwood when I hinted at the subject, as I had the Duke of Sutherland's permission to do so, but I now quite understand the reason, and you were, of course, undoubtedly right to follow the wishes of the young lady. Hoping that we may meet at Dunrobin in September, from Yours most sincerely,
ALBERT EDWARD.

Life's Ebb And Flow Chapter IV. [30th April 1881]. And so the tale unfolds. Our [Francis Greville 5th Earl Warwick 5th Earl Brooke (age 28) and Frances Evelyn "Daisy" Maynard Countess Warwick (age 19)] marriage took place in the Henry VII Chapel in Westminster Abbey, and the newspapers of the day made much of the "most brilliant wedding of a dozen seasons."

Marlborough House,
July 27/90.
My Dear Harry (age 49) — How kind of you to have sent me the hoof of dear old! so prettily mounted, which I shall always greatly value and constantly use as an inkstand.
I am also very much touched by the kind expressions in your letter wishing me good luck with my racehorses. Though I can never expect to have the good fortune which attended the Dukes of Portland and Westminster, still I hope with patience to win one or more of the classic races with a horse bred by myself. I sincerely hope you may yet be able to come to Goodwood for a part of the time, at any rate.
Thanking you again for your kind remembrance of me and giving me so interesting a souvenir of your "best friend"
From yours very sincerely,
Albert Edward (age 48).
P.S.—I shall always take the shoe about with me.

Before 9th August 1891 Lieutenant Harry Tyrwhitt aka Tyrwhitt-Wilson (age 37) was appointed Equerry to the Prince of Wales (age 49).
Life's Ebb And Flow Chapter IV. [Around September 1891]. In the autumn of 1891 the Duke and Duchess of Teck, with Princess May, were our guests at Easton. I remember that among the party were Lord Sandwich, Lord Richard Nevill, Count Albert Mensdorff, the Hon. Sidney Greville (age 24) (my husband's brother, who was then equerry to the Prince of Wales (age 49)), my sister-in-law, Lady Eva Greville (age 31), the lifelong friend and companion of Queen Mary, Lord Chesterfield, Lord and Lady Alington, Lord Chelsea, Lord and Lady Bradford, Colonel Brabazon, Lady Dorothy Nevill, Colonel Stanley Clarke, and Lady Sophia Macnamara, who was in waiting on the Duchess of Teck.
At that house party the Prince of Wales gave his consent to the engagement of his son, [his son] Prince Eddy (age 27), Duke of Clarence and Avondale, to Princess May. The prophecy of the Duchess of Teck that such an alliance would be popular was more than justified, but, to the great sorrow of all, the young prince died shortly after.

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.

Adeline Horsey Recollections. The White Hall is full of Balaclava relics, including my husband's uniforms, and the head of "Ronald", the horse he rode when he led the Charge of the Light Brigade. I gave one of "Ronald's" hoofs, mounted as an inkstand, to the King, who expressed a great wish to have it as a souvenir. The illuminated addresses received by Lord Cardigan are in the Great Hall, and some of them are really works of art.
