Summary: "Chronicles (1 of 6): The Historie of England (6 of 8)" by Raphael Holinshed is a historical account written in the late 16th century. The work details the history of England through various accounts, covering the reigns of kings, key battles, and significant events across different periods. The narrative captures the struggles for power between various kingdoms and the influence of Christianity on the English throne. At the start of this historical account, Holinshed introduces King Inas of the Westsaxons, who ascends to the throne in 689 AD. The opening chronicles his battles against the Kentishmen and other kingdoms, including significant victories and subsequent invasions, ultimately leading to his resignation and pilgrimage to Rome. The text also outlines Inas's contributions to law and the church, along with anecdotes regarding other contemporary kings, such as Ethelred and Kenred. This detailed account sets the stage for exploring the complexities of political and religious dynamics during a transformative period in English history.
