Summary: "Chronicles 1 (of 6): The Historie of England 5 (of 8)" by Raphael Holinshed is a historical account likely written in the late 16th century. This volume continues the narrative of Britain's history, focusing on the transition of power from the Romans to the various kingdoms established by Saxons, Scots, and Picts. The book explores the political intrigues, battles, and key figures, such as King Vortigern and the arrival of Hengist, illustrating the tumultuous landscape of early medieval Britain. The opening of the work introduces the story of Constantinus, who is crowned king of Britain amidst strife and treachery.
