Summary: "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" by J. Ingram and J. A. Giles is a historical account originally compiled under the reign of King Alfred the Great, around the late 9th century, and continued until the 12th century by various anonymous scribes. This chronicle serves as a vital record of early English history, documenting significant events from the arrival of the Saxons through to the Norman Conquest, illustrating the development of the English state and its people. The opening of the chronicle introduces the geographical and historical context of Britain, describing its length and breadth, and outlining the key early inhabitants, including the Britons, Picts, and Scots. It recounts the Roman invasion led by Julius Caesar, the subsequent battles fought by these early peoples, and the migration of different groups into the island. This portion establishes a foundation for understanding the complexities of Britain’s early ethnic and cultural composition, leading to the eventual establishment of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The narrative is structured chronologically, with significant events marked by the names of leaders and notable occurrences, making it a unique and essential source for anyone interested in the early medieval history of England.
