From the Paper:

"The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is one of the most important primary source documents for Medieval European history still largely intact. While, in fact, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is actually a series of chronicles loosely associated with one another, the collected work is generally studied as a whole. Though it is perhaps not as well known outside of academic circles as some other medieval documents, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a crucial component of our full historical understanding of medieval Europe."
