Thomas Walsingham, a monk of St Albans, has been described as the last of the great medieval chroniclers.
Although Walsingham has traditionally been regarded as the chronicler of the Lancastrian revolution, this part of his chronicle reveals his work as a major source for the Peasants' Revolt, the emergence of John Wyclif, and the political struggles of Richard II's reign.

W.H." She believes that Thomas Thorpe, the publisher of the Sonnets, deliberately confused his readers by altering the chronological order of the Sonnets, mixing up the subject matter and order of composition to prevent the identification of the real poet, a fugitive in continual danger.
Sonnets 1 to 17 form a tightly knit group of consecutive sonnets all on a single theme, persuading the young man to whom they are addressed of the joys and advantages of marrying and begetting heirs to his line.
The sonnets addressed to William Hatcliffe are so cleverly mixed with those to Thomas Walsingham that the chronology becomes confused, effectively hiding Walsingham's identity as the True Patron.
