ANGLO-SAXON CHRonICLE.=

 

A national record of events, which is said to have been begun

at the instance of King Alfred the Great (849-901). Its last

record is of the accession of Henry II, 1154. It is the oldest

historical work written in any Germanic language, and is the

basis of most of our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon History.
