About This Book

The chronicle recounts the accession of a child monarch and the regency that followed, detailing how leading nobles and churchmen organized protection, governance, and a second coronation. It records the deaths of notable figures, episcopal appointments and canonizations, local disturbances and military ventures, construction of churches and castles, and disputes over castles, tolls, and privileges. Presented as annalistic entries interspersed with charters, speeches, and official notices, the account traces political, ecclesiastical, and civic developments shaping the realm during the early years of the reign.
