Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (2 of 6): England (08 of 12)

"Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (2 of 6): England (08 of 12)" is part of a collaborative work first published in 1577. This comprehensive chronicle of British history became a vital source for Renaissance writers, most notably Shakespeare. Within these pages lie the historical accounts that would inspire iconic plays like Macbeth and King Lear—though the original stories differ dramatically from their theatrical adaptations. The Chronicles present complex rulers, political intrigue, and prophecies that shaped how Elizabethan England understood its past and imagined its legendary figures.
