The thirteenth century saw audacious governmental experiment in medieval England, including Magna Carta, baronial reforms and opposition to royal power. Historians have analysed these events mostly from a regnal-centric approach, using 19th-century printed editions, which conceal how news was spread, how public documents were disseminated and how local institutions co-opted them to serve their agendas. This project aims to analyse a key source for the period, the Annals of Burton, alongside archive registers produced simultaneously, to uncover networks of scribes and circulation of manuscripts, revealing how the self-fashioning of local elite institutions relied on an insertion within a national narrative.Recent historians have analysed both chronicles and cartularies in new and exciting ways, but my thesis will be the first to consider the two together and analyse how they are related. In the process, I hope to shed new light on how a monastery understood and constructed the past, both national and local, ultimately offering a reflection on what it means to write history in the Middle Ages.

十三世纪在中世纪的英格兰进行了大胆的政府实验，包括玛格娜·卡塔（Magna Carta），男爵夫人改革和反对皇家权力。历史学家使用19世纪的印刷版本分析了这些事件，主要是通过以regnal为中心的方法分析了这些事件，这些版本掩盖了新闻的传播方式，如何传播公共文件以及当地机构如何选择他们为他们的议程服务。该项目旨在分析该时期的关键来源，伯顿的年​​鉴与档案记录同时进行，以揭示抄写网络和手稿的流通网络，揭示了地方精英机构的自我降级如何依赖于国家内部的插入式的自我介绍。分析它们的相关方式。在此过程中，我希望对修道院如何理解和建造过去的国家和地方，最终对中世纪写历史的含义进行反思。
