Why read it?
1 author picked The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book covers the entirety of the history of the Anglo-Saxons in their own words. Like Bede’s History, it suffers from bias, depending on the scribe writing each section and what kingdom they inhabited, but it is a fascinating year-by-year account of the rise and fall of kings and clergy, and of the battles and natural phenomena faced by the people of early medieval Britain.
From Matthew's list on the world of Anglo-Saxon Britain.
