Written by a Walden monk soon after 1203, this text relates the history of the Mandeville earls of Essex and the inheritance of their lands and title. It describes the development of the priory at Walden and its elevation to the status of a Benedictine abbey in 1190.
This lively narrative, written by a monk, relates the history of the abbey of Saffron Walden from its foundation around 1136 to the year 1203. Its characters include the English kings, the earls of Essex, and other local landowners, large and small, as well as the monks and other ecclesiastics. Its interest extends far beyond the local: the editors' introduction and notes establish the chronicle's position as a valuable historical source.
