Annals of the six Kings of England by Nicholas Trivet
Translation of the Annals of the Six Kings of England by that traces the rise and rule of the Angevin aka Plantagenet dynasty from the mid-12th to early 14th century. Written by the Dominican scholar Nicholas Trivet, the work offers a vivid account of English history from the reign of King Stephen through to the death of King Edward I, blending political narrative with moral reflection. Covering the reigns of six monarchs—from Stephen to Edward I—the chronicle explores royal authority, rebellion, war, and the shifting balance between crown, church, and nobility. Trivet provides detailed insight into defining moments such as baronial conflicts, Anglo-French rivalry, and the consolidation of royal power under Edward I, whose reign he describes with particular immediacy. The Annals combines careful year-by-year reporting with thoughtful interpretation, presenting history not merely as a sequence of events but as a moral and political lesson. Ideal for readers interested in medieval history, kingship, and the origins of the English state, this chronicle remains a valuable and accessible window into the turbulent world of the Plantagenet kings.

New York Times 28 Jul 1907. July 28, 1907. $240,000 INCOME; BANKRUPT.; Amazing Financial Career of Sir Humphrey De Trafford.
LONDON, July 27.-Sir Humphrey Francis De Trafford, Bart., who, with his beautiful wife [Violet Franklin Lady de Trafford], is a well-known figure in the cosmopolitan society of Europe, has had a remarkable financial career, which has now landed him in the Bankruptcy Court.
At the age of 24, in 1886, the Baronet inherited an estate with a gross annual income of nearly $350,000, subject to certain jointures which still left the De Trafford income $240,000 a year. However, he got into debt and contract-ed loans with the result that in 1890 he owed over $500,000. His indebtedness continued to increase until, in 1904, there were creditors holding charges on his life interest to the value of $2,300,000, while an additional $200,000 was owing to unsecured creditors.
Although Sir Humphrey was receiving out of the De Trafford estate $240,000 a year, he was paying out of that $110,000 a year for interest on loans and $125,000 in premiums on life insurance policies; this left him only $5,000 a year with which to keep up establishments in Berkeley Square and Market Harboro and educate his children.
A special act of Parliament was passed in 1904 to help him out of his difficulties, but since then he again got into debt, which has resulted in the present bankruptcy proceedings.
When asked how he came to get through such a vast sum as $2,500,000 in eighteen years, Sir Humphrey admitted that he had lost large amounts in betting and had to have recourse to money lenders, to one of whom he paid 15 per cent. interest. The Baronet said that the De Trafford estates, which were mainly in Manchester, were increasing greatly in value and he was prepared to pay his creditors 20s. in the pound.
