The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles are a 9th Century collection of manuscripts based on the Anglo-Saxons of what is now England and refer to the years 110 to the updated 1054 version.

The annals are thought to have been created during the Reign of Alfred the Great and are a insight in time between Roman departure and the Norman Conquest. Many copies were re-printed and updated with the last version still being used around 1154. The annals are one of the last remaining pieces of literature using middle English.

7 out of the 9 manuscripts are being held in Cambridge University, England and within the British Library.
