Hi, I am trying to find a copy of the Beauchamp Chronicles either online or hard copy.

I have searched via the internet but seem to be going in circles so I was hoping the internet-literate had had better luck.

Thanks.

You need to look for the Beauchamp Pageant,

A facsimilie was reprinted quite recently and can be bought off the internet (or ordered from your library).

Oxbow Books have it for 55 UKP

The Beauchamp Pageant
edited by Alexandra Sinclair
Thought to have been commissioned by Anne Beauchamp in honour of her father Richard Beauchamp the fifth Earl of Warwick, the Beauchamp Pageant is a collection of late 15th century manuscripts. The 53 line drawings, with small amounts of additional text, celebrate the life and deeds of Richard and extol the virtues and ideals of chivalry and service. This book presents a facsimile edition of the manuscripts, with commentary, and an introduction providing background material on the origins, purpose and history of the manuscript, as well as discussing its style and subject matter. Today we view it as a source of social history for the life of a late medieval nobleman, for contemporary dress, arms and armour, although it is suggested that the piece may have been commissioned for the education of her grandson Edward. Unfortunately the piece was never completed, most likely interrupted by Anne's death in 1484. 179p, 11 pls (Richard II and Yorkist History Trust/Paul Watkins 2003)

ISBN 190028961X. Hardback. Price GB £55.00
