Coventry Chronicle Explained

The Coventry Chronicle is a 12th-century world chronicle in annual format covering the period from the Creation to the year 1122.^[1] The manuscript was written by Benedictine monks at Coventry Cathedral Priory, about the year 1150, with an addendum up to 1202. Much of the material to 1150 is a reworking of the Chronica chronicarum by John of Worcester.^{[2] [1]}

Today the document is at BL, Harley ms. 3775, fol. 34r-67v and 73r.
