Chronicon monasterii de Abingdon: Volume 2, From the Norman Conquest until the Accession of Richard the First

Published in 1858, this two-volume chronicle covers approximately 500 years, from the seventh-century foundation of Abingdon Abbey to the accession of Richard I in 1189. Editor Joseph Stevenson claims its value is not as a detailed history but as a rich illustration of England's journey from barbarism to civilisation.
