Anglo‐Saxon Chronicle Alfred in the early 890s was responsible for putting into shape the
Anglo‐Saxon Chronicle, providing a record of events on an annalar basis in Old English. The
Chronicle was kept up to date at great ecclesiastical centres where literate clerks could be found. Surviving manuscripts associated with Canterbury, Worcester, York, and Abingdon provide very full accounts for some periods (the reign of Alfred and the reign of
Æthelred conspicuously, and then the reign of
Edward the Confessor and the Norman kings), but give only distressingly jejune entries at others.
