Description:
|
The story of how Richard II exiled his enemies including the Earl of Arundel and, eventually, Henry Bolingbroke, the Duke of Hereford and Thomas de Mowbray, the Duke of Norfolk. Henry Bolingbroke was the son of John of Gaunt, brother of Edward III, and a likely candidate to succeed the childless Richard after the death of his father. There is some red rubrication and an initial 'A' in red ink. The script is a mixture of anglicana and secretary.

Notes:
|
Two incomplete manuscripts of the 'Brut Chronicle', the first on vellum, the second on paper, put together in or before 1749 to make a nearly complete Brut to 1415 (Ker). The manuscript supplies additional detail to the texts published by Caxton and F.W.D. Brie.
