Extract

Observing some curious particulars in the first volume of the Archaeologia relating to Hardyng the historian, I am induced to send you two short extracts from a copy of his rhyming Chronicle among the Harleian Manuscripts in the Museum. One of these little transcripts preserves the Letter of Defiance which the insurgent lords sent to Henry the Fourth, immediately before the battle of Shrewsbury. The other relates to the spurious Chronicle said to have been forged by John of Gaunt, in which Edmund Crouchback was made the eldest son of king Henry the Third.
