Summary "A Chronicle of London from 1089 to 1483" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the late 15th century. The text provides a detailed narrative of events in London, encompassing political, social, and significant public occurrences from the reign of Richard I through to the death of Edward IV. The Chronicle focuses on various noteworthy happenings including elections, battles, and natural disasters, reflecting the historical tapestry of London during this era. The beginning of the Chronicle sets the stage by noting that despite its title, the narrative actually commences in 1189 with the reign of Richard I. The text outlines key events, such as the election of mayors, the reigns of significant monarchs, and various phenomena like tempests and plagues. It emphasizes the importance of the local governance in London while also venturing beyond the city to include notable occurrences in the broader British Isles and France, giving readers a rich, contextual background to the history of London through the medieval period.
