Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, The, an early record in English of events in England from the beginning of the Christian era to 1154, surviving in seven manuscripts in which C. Plummer descried four groups: the Parker Chronicle, named from Archbishop Parker (1504–75); the Abingdon Chronicles; the Worcester Chronicle; and the Laud Chronicle, named from Archbishop
Laud (see
Peterborough Chronicle, The). The most celebrated entries are those for 449 (the arrival of
Hengist and Horsa), for 755 (the story of Cynewulf and Cyneheard), for 893 to 897 ( Alfred's last series of Danish wars), and for the disastrous years of Stephen's reign. Most famous of all is the poem on the Battle of
Brunanburh (937). The systematic organization of the earlier part of the Chronicle is attributed to
Alfred in the course of his literary ventures in the 890s.
