Saxon Chronicles

The Saxon Chronicles are historical records that detail the history of early England, focusing on the Anglo-Saxon period from around 600 to 1154 AD. They are a collection of annals—year-by-year entries—compiled primarily by monks in different monasteries. These chronicles provide valuable insights into battles, kings, social customs, and significant events of the time, serving as a key primary source for understanding medieval English history. Their compilation helped preserve the story of England’s early people, culture, and political development.
