Edition of fifteenth-century chronicles providing important evidence for contemporary events including the Wars of the Roses. This edition makes available for the first time to a wider audience two historically important fifteenth-century English chronicles with full scholarly apparatus and comprehensive introductions. The Dethe of the Kynge of Scotis gives full and graphic accounts of the murder of James I of Scotland in 1437 and the subsequent executions of his assassins; translated from a lost Latin narrative by John Shirley it is edited from the only full text thathas survived. `Warkworth's Chronicle' usually ascribed erroneously to John Warkworth master of Peterhouse Cambridge is a frequently-cited source for events in the Wars of the Roses between 1461 and 1473 and gives a contemporary assessment of the supposed murders of Edward Prince of Wales and of Henry VI by Richard of Gloucester.
