By Thomas Hearne

Book Overview

War, conquest and uneasy allegiance shape the story of medieval England long before the Tudors. The Middle Ages speak again. In this landmark medieval English chronicle, Peter Langtoft traces the line of the kings of England from the death of Cadwalader to the close of Edward I's reign, capturing the shifting fortunes of a kingdom in formation. Edited and enriched by the great antiquary Thomas Hearne, and illustrated and improved by Robert of Brunne, it stands as an authoritative annotated primary source for anyone drawn to medieval England history and the drama of the Plantagenet kings. As the Peter Langtoft chronicle moves through 13th century England and Middle Ages Britain, it reveals how power, piety and identity were imagined at the heart of the Plantagenet kings history. As a meticulous historical text edition within the Thomas Hearne collection, this volume preserves not only the narrative itself but the way earlier generations read their own past, making it invaluable as a reference for medievalists and for medieval history students, yet accessible to the curious general reader and the serious collector alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it returns a classic kings of England chronicle to the shelves of those who care about medieval scholarship, middle ages Britain, and the living record of our shared past.
