The Waltham Chronicle: An Account of the Discovery of Our Holy Cross at Montacute and Its Conveyance to Waltham

The first translation of the Waltham Chronicle is printed here with the original Latin text and full introduction and notes. Written by one of the secular canons of Waltham Priory, this interesting example of a twelfth-century historia fundacionis records the legends of the community’s foundation and miracle stories, together with genuine historical information.
