The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a document tracing the history of the Anglo-Saxon people from 60 BCE (around the time of Julius Caesar’s first British campaign) up until 850 CE. It is basically a chronological account of events in Anglo-Saxon and Norman England, a compilation of seven surviving interrelated manuscript records that is the primary source for the early history of England. The narrative was first assembled in the reign of King Alfred (871–899) from materials that included some epitome of universal history. The Chronicle survived to the modern period in seven manuscripts and a fragment, which are generally known by letters of the alphabet.
