A bifolium from a chronicle in English which was once the binding, is now folded around the quires, providing front and end flyleaves. It opens with an entry (acephalous) recording the death of Richard I in 1199 and the coronation of John. It ends with the flight of Edward IV to Flanders and his return to England in 1471 (atelous). His death in 1483 is however reported in the previous entry. Wells Rev. 8:2930 [75].
Other texts: No other copies of this text have so far been identified. It appears to be an abstract of the Polychronicon with additional material about the reigns of Edward III and Edward IV (Neil Coates pers. comm.).
