Thomas de Burton (d.1437) was bursar in 1394 and abbot from 1396 to 1399. His chronicle survives in two versions: the earlier, finished around 1396, and a revision completed around 1402, to which later additions were made. The work is one of the most important later medieval Cistercian chronicles, providing detailed information about the history and administration of Meaux, as well as local and national historical events. The surviving library catalogue reveals the sources available to Burton, and he drew extensively on the abbey archives. The work is arranged by the rule of each abbot, with subdivisions in each section for local and more general history, arranged by subject matter. Volume 2 covers the period 1235 to 1339, with a greater proportion of non-monastic material included than in the earlier sections.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Chronicle under Michael de Brun,the eighth abbot\u003cbr\u003e William of Driffield, the ninth abbot\u003cbr\u003e Richard of Thornton, the tenth abbot\u003cbr\u003e Robert of Skyrne, the eleventh abbot\u003cbr\u003e Richard of Barton, the twelfth abbot\u003cbr\u003e Roger of Driffield, the thirteenth abbot\u003cbr\u003e Adam of Skyrne, the fourteenth abbot\u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266088620312,"sku":"9781108048620","price":34.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108048620i.jpg?v=1696746832","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/chronica-monasterii-de-melsa-a-fundatione-usque-ad-annum-1396-paperback-9781108048620","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
