Download or read book Chronicles written by Chris Given-Wilson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The priorities of medieval chroniclers and historians were not those of the modern historian, nor was the way that they gathered, arranged and presented evidence. Yet if we understand how they approached their task, and their assumption of God's immanence in the world, much that they wrote becomes clear. Many of them were men of high intelligence whose interpretation of events sheds clear light on what happened. Christopher Given-Wilson is one of the leading authorities on medieval English historical writing. He examines how medieval writers such as Ranulf Higden and Adam Usk treated chronology and geography, politics and warfare, heroes and villains. He looks at the ways in which chronicles were used during the middle ages, and at how the writing of history changed between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries.

Book Synopsis The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle by : Bob Carruthers
Download or read book The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle written by Bob Carruthers and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential primary-source history of the British Isles through the early Middle Ages, fully annotated and illustrated with paintings and engravings. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is one of the most important sets of historical documents concerning the history of the British Isles. These vital accounts, thought to be first set down in the late ninth century by a scribe in Wessex, illuminate events through the Dark Ages that would otherwise be lost to history. Without this chronicle, it would be impossible to write the history of the English from the Romans to the Norman Conquest. The compilers of this chronicle included contemporary events they themselves witnessed, as well as those recorded by earlier annalists whose work is in many cases preserved nowhere else. With nine known versions of the Chronicle in existence, this translated edition presents a conflation of passages from different versions. Relying heavily on Rev. James Ingram’s 1828 translation, the footnotes provided are all those of Rev. Ingram. This edition also includes the complete Parker Manuscript.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Revolutionary War broke out and New York City had fallen in 1776, the forces of the king of Great Britain developed a network of forts along the length of Long Island to defend the New York area and create a front to Patriot forces across the Sound in Connecticut. Fort Franklin on Lloyd's Neck became a refugee camp for Loyalists and saw frequent rebel attacks. In Huntington, a sacred burial ground was desecrated, and Fort Golgotha was erected in its place, using tombstones as baking hearths. In Setauket along the northern shore, the Presbyterian church was commandeered and made the central fortified structure of the town. Author David M. Griffin uncovers the lost history and harrowing stories of Long Island's British forts.

Book Synopsis Anglo-Saxon Chronicle by : Alfred the Great
Download or read book Anglo-Saxon Chronicle written by Alfred the Great and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles is a collection of Old English annals chronicling the history of the Anglo-Saxon race. They were originally compiled in Wessex during the reign of Alfred the Great (871-899 AD). It was continuously updated by following generations and in one case was still being updated in 1154 AD. Regardless of certain biases, the Chronicle is the most important historical source of history of the British Isles for the period between the departure of the Roman Empire, and years following the Norman conquest. There are seven original copies of the text that reside in the British Library and two other public libraries in the United Kingdom.Alfred the Great was the king of the West Saxons at the time of heightened invasions from the Scandinavian Vikings. His kingdom of Wessex was the last surviving Saxon kingdom left in resistance to the invaders. At one-point Alfred's kingdom was reduced to his household in exile in the marshlands in Somerset, England. Through military reorganization, diplomatic maneuvers, and Christian missionary work, Alfred was able to push back against the Scandinavians and establish Wessex as the most powerful kingdom on the British Isles. By the end of his reign Wessex was the dominant power on the British Isles, the Vikings had been humbled and partially assimilated into Christian culture. His dream of an united Britain under the control of Wessex was almost complete. Alfred is the only English King to be given the title of 'the Great'.

Book Synopsis The Chetwynd Chronicles by : D. R. S. Bott
Download or read book The Chetwynd Chronicles written by D. R. S. Bott and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Orange Fever epidemic surged throughout Florida in the early 1880s. Aggressive land agents, not all of them scrupulous, set up shops in nearly every county while their representatives abroad romanced prospective settlers in Europe, particularly England. Lured by the prospect of reaping a fortune from growing citrus, combined with the promise of cheap land, and a healthy sub-tropical climate, a young, entrepreneurial Englishman, Granville Chetwynd-Stapylton succumbed. In the winter of 1882, he set his feet onto land that he described as, " . . .colonial with unbroken pine forest, without road or railway." Those conditions began to change-rapidly. The Chetwynd Chronicles is the only account ever written about the brief life and perils of the British colony of Chetwynd, located in the northwest corner of Lake County, Florida, - roughly an area between Lady Lake and Leesburg-and of its developer, Chetwynd-Stapylton. Throughout the nearly 20 years of its existence, colonists-most of them English, young, and university educated bachelors-came to learn the citrus culture, stayed a few years, and migrated. Remarkably, over 140 of them are identified and their footsteps followed all over the world.
