Peterborough Chronicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Today, the Peterborough Chronicle is recognized as one of the four distinct versions of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (along with the Winchester Chronicle or Parker Chronicle, the Abingdon Chronicle and the Worcester Chronicle), but it is not wholly distinct (Bennett, "Early"). |
| | For the 11th century, the chronicle at Peterborough diverges from Parker's, and it has been speculated that a proto-Kentish Chronicle, full of nationalistic and regionalistic interests, was used for these years; however, such a single source is speculative (Cambridge). |
| | Portents and omens receive coverage, but rarely do the chroniclers discuss political alliances (as the author of the second continuation does with his denunciation of the bishops who were allied with Matilda) or the legalities of monastic rule (as the author of the first continuation does in his lament over Abbot Henry). |
