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.
Vetera Monumenta Hibernorum et Scotorum DCXLV. Innocent, etc. To our venerable brother, [Walter?] Bishop of Dunblane, greeting, etc. A petition presented to us on behalf of a beloved son, a noble man, Robert (age 21), son of a beloved son, a noble nan, [his father] Robert, Earl of Strathern (age 45), and a beloved daughter in Christ, a noble woman, [his future wife] Margaret, Countess of Menteith (age 27), of the diocese of Dunblane, narrated that a treaty was lately made between their parents for securing the common weal and safety of the whole realm of Scotland, in which the city and diocese of Dunblane are situated, by contracting marriage between the son Robert and the Countess foresaid, but because the son Robert and the Countess foresaid are related in the fourth degree of consanguinity, and moreover, because the said son Robert is related to the late John of Moray in the first degree, and to the late Thomas, Earl of Mar (age 31), husbands of the said Countess, in the fourth degree, that is to say, to John on both sides, and Thomas, Earl foresaid, only on one side, he cannot implement such treaty without obtaining an apostolic dispensation thereanent. But seeing that, as the said petition subjoins, unless the treaty be carried out, it might be truly feared that all manner of dangers would threaten the earldoms of Strathern and Menteith of your said diocese, as well the clergy as the people, we have been humbly besought, on behalf of the said Robert the son and the Countess, that we would mercifully vouchsafe to provide the suitable favour of a dispensation for this. We, therefore, who fervently seek the peace and quiet of the faithful in all places, and provide against both evils and dangers as much ag we are able in the Lord, yielding to these supplications, commit to, and by these apostolic writs command you, brother, that if it is so, you may by our authority grant a dispensation to the said Robert the son and the Countess who may, notwithstanding the impediment arising from the foresaid affinity and consanguinity, contract marriage together, and, after it shall have been contracted, abide lawfully therein, declaring the offspring to be conceived of such marriage legitimate: Provided that Robert the son and the Countess foresaid, within one year, to be reckoned from the date of granting the dispensation, shall found and cause to be constructed in the city or diocese of Dunblane one chapel to the honour of God, and decently endow the same with an annual rent of twelve marks of silver for one perpetual chaplain to serve the Lord there. Given at Avignon, the 9th September, in the ninth year of our pontificate (1361).

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."
