Incerti Scriptoris Chronicon Angliae de regnis trium
regum. Lancastrensium. Ed. by John Allen Giles.
London, 1848.
Certainly not all by the same author. The
Chronicle of Henry V.'s reign stops at 1416,
and is the same as the Gesta Henrici Quinti
below. The most valuable of the three is the
Chronicle of Henry VI.'s reign, probably
written by a contemporary and a cleric, and
therefore having numerous references to church
matters.
1st chronicle, _Chron. Henry IV._
3rd chronicle, _Chron. Henry VI._
Gesta Henrici Quinti. Ed. by Benjamin Williams. _Gesta._
London, 1850.
The first part of this Latin Chronicle down to
1417 was written by a chaplain in Henry's
army, being the same chronicle as Nicolas
translated at the end of his 'Battle of
Agincourt.' The continuation is by some other
chronicler, and is largely borrowed from
Elmham.
A 'Chronique de Normandie' is printed at the end _Chronique de
of this chronicle, and is attributed to George Normandie._
Chastellain by the Editor, though this has been
denied. It is, however, obviously written by a
contemporary.
Vita et gesta Henrici Quinti Anglorum Regis, by _Elmham, Vita._

Elmham was a monk of St. Augustine's, Canterbury,
of which he was treasurer in 1407, and
ultimately became Prior of Lenton, Notts. He
died some time during the reign of Henry VI.
The attribution to him of this chronicle is
doubted.
Titi Livi Foro-Juliensis Vita Henrici Quinti. Ed. _Livius._
by Thomas Hearne. Oxford, 1716.
Written at the suggestion of the Duke of
Gloucester by an Italian attached to his
household. The chronology is not always
quite accurate.

Cotton MS., Cleopatra, C. iv.
Among other items contains a London Chronicle, written in three
different fifteenth-century hands, and covering the years 1414-43.
Cotton MS., Vitellius, A. xvi.
A London Chronicle, in three different hands, and written at three
different periods, covering the years 1399-1516, though up to
1440 it is almost identical with the two chronicles above.
These three chronicles all bear a strong affinity to Lond. Chron. and
Gregory. (See Printed Books. Contemporary Chroniclers who wrote in
England.) Since the references have been taken for the present work,
all three, with the exception of the earlier part of Vitellius, A.
xvi., have been printed in 'Chronicles of London,' ed. by C. L.
Kingsford. Oxford, 1905. The references to the folios of the MSS. have
been retained, as thereby the various authorities can be
distinguished, and their verification does not necessitate recourse to
the MSS., as Mr. Kingsford has marked the folios in the margin to the
text of his edition. An excellent discussion of the dates of
compilation and the relationship between these and other London
Chronicles is to be found in Mr. Kingsford's introduction.

HOLKHAM HALL
In a MS. belonging to Lord Leicester there is contained, amongst other
entries in a seventeenth-century hand, a life of Humphrey, Duke of
Gloucester, entitled 'The Historie of the high borne Renowned and most
illustriously noble Prince Humphrie, commonly called The good Duke of
Gloucester, by J. C. Philopatris.' J. C. stands for John Cooper, and
the whole compilation is a mere copying of sixteenth-century
chroniclers, and has no historical value. It has been referred to in
the notes more as an indication of its scope than as an authority.
Cited as _Holkham MS._
_N.B._--Various Manuscripts, which originally formed part of the Duke of
Gloucester's Library, are alluded to and quoted in the text. These are
described in detail in Appendix A., and are therefore not enumerated
here.

Transcriber's Notes
The Errata provided by the author in the printed text have been applied
to this text.
Minor inconsistencies of punctuation have been resolved. The spelling of
proper names varies, and variants have been retained.
The Index refers to footnotes which are renumbered here, and the Index
entries have been changed accordingly. The original entry for Stanley
referring to "271 note 3" seems incorrect. The second note on that page
does seem to be the correct one, and is now note 935. The entry for John
Stoke, Abbot of St. Albans, refers to note 7 on p. 72. The note appears
on p. 75. This has been corrected.
Minor inconsistencies of punctuation have been resolved. The spelling of
proper names varies, and variants have been retained. The changes listed
here were made where obvious errors were made by the printer.
