'Dynasty and Division: The Depiction of King and Kingdom in John Hardyng's Chronicle

Composed during a period of increased dynastic awareness and political tension, John Hardyng’s late fifteenth-century Chronicle survives in two versions. Previous scholars have labelled the first version a ‘Lancastrian’ account of history, written with little purpose other than to elicit financial reward and advocate the conquest of Scotland; the second is regarded as a ‘Yorkist’ revision. This article assesses Hardyng’s representation of the kings and their kingdom, with particular emphasis on the depiction of division within the realm; it demonstrates that Hardyng’s portrayal of Henry VI in the first version, and his use of commonplace imagery and themes, are conscientiously crafted to facilitate a wider-ranging political focus and concern with late medieval affairs than previously accepted. Conversely, comparable examples from the second version show that it is not exclusively concerned with fortifying the Yorkist dynasty, but that it promotes the same call for peace and good governance as the first version

John Hardyng's Chronicle: a study of the two versions and a critical edition of both for the period 1327-1464

This thesis on the verse chronicle of John Hardyng (1378-c.1465), which is extant in two versions, is divided into two parts: a study of Hardyng and his Chronicle, and an edition of both versions for the years 1327-1464. Part I contains two chapters: John Hardyng and his Chronicle, and John Hardyng and the Construction of History. The first chapter comprises an Introduction, which provides information about knowledge of Hardyng in the post-medieval period and an overview of modern scholarship, and a section on the life of John Hardyng, which places him in the context of the period prior to, and including, the turbulent Wars of the Roses; this is followed by a description of the single manuscript of the first version and the twelve manuscripts and three fragments of the second version, accompanied by an analysis of the relationships of the manuscripts. The second chapter examines the complicated compositional circumstances of the two versions, taking into account historical developments in the period, and exploring recurrent topics and themes in the two versions. Part I concludes with an edition of Illustrative Texts, which include the prologues and the story of the founding of Albion, exemplifying the topics discussed in the preceding chapter. Part II of the thesis is an edition of the two versions for the years 1327-1464, selected for their relevance to the public and political affairs of late medieval England, and because it is in this section that Hardyng draws together his conclusions about the reigns of previous monarchs in relation to the present governance of England; the edition is supported by full critical apparatus and a commentary for each version, containing background contextual and historical information, and comparative allusions to other contemporary historical and literary texts. The thesis concludes with six appendices, a selective glossary and a bibliography

Creating and curating an archive: Bury St Edmunds and its Anglo-Saxon past

This contribution explores the mechanisms by which the Benedictine foundation of Bury St Edmunds sought to legitimise and preserve their spurious pre-Conquest privileges and holdings throughout the Middle Ages. The archive is extraordinary in terms of the large number of surviving registers and cartularies which contain copies of Anglo-Saxon charters, many of which are wholly or partly in Old English. The essay charts the changing use to which these ancient documents were put in response to threats to the foundation's continued enjoyment of its liberties. The focus throughout the essay is to demonstrate how pragmatic considerations at every stage affects the development of the archive and the ways in which these linguistically challenging texts were presented, re-presented, and represented during the Abbey’s history
