| Abstract | In recent years there has been a renewal of interest in chronicle writing, its purposes, and the underlying assumptions that informed it. In this session we propose to examine two important chronicles - Walsingham's and the "Scalachronica" - considering the insights brought by new editions, and, more specifically, the chronicles' coverage of war. |
