The present work is an account of medieval English history 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, & K. F. Pantzer (eds.), Short-title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, & Ireland, and of English Books Printed Abroad, 1475–1640. 3 vols. London, 1976–91 (2nd ed.), vol. 2, 25004.
