The '''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle''' was originally compiled on the orders of [[Alfred the Great]] at the end of the [[9th century]]. It was intended to be a list of important dates, and was maintained and updated until the [[12th century]]. The chronicle was written in [[Old English]], with the exception of one copy which was also partly written in [[Latin]].

As an historical source, anything written in them before the mid 9th century must be treated as hearsay.

There are ten [[manuscript]]s known to have survives, some of which have notable differences. With their conventional designation these are:

A-Prime: The Parker Chronicle (Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, MS. 173)

A: Cottonian Fragment (British Museum, Cotton MS. Otho B xi, 2)

B: The Abingdon Chronicle I (British Museum, Cotton MS. Tiberius A vi.)

C: The Abingdon Chronicle II (British Museum, Cotton MS. Tiberius B i.)
