comprising the years 1272 to 1422 by the English Benedictine monk and
chronicler Thomas Walsingham (c.1340–c.1422). It is unclear whether the latter
portion is written by Walsingham. The work was later published as ‘Historia
Anglicana.’ See W. A. Jackson, F. S. Ferguson, &amp; K. F. Pantzer (eds.),
