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，中世纪的英格兰进行了大胆的政府实验，包括大宪章、贵族改革和反对王权。历史学家主要从以统治为中心的方法来分析这些事件，使用 19 世纪的印刷版本，这些版本掩盖了新闻是如何传播的，公共文件是如何传播的，以及地方机构如何利用它们来服务于他们的议程。该项目旨在分析这一时期的关键来源，即《伯顿年鉴》以及同时制作的档案登记册，以揭示抄写员网络和手稿流通，揭示地方精英机构的自我塑造如何依赖于插入国家叙事中。最近的历史学家以新的和令人兴奋的方式分析了编年史和目录，但我的论文将是第一个将两者结合起来考虑的论文。 分析它们之间的关系。在此过程中，我希望能够对修道院如何理解和构建国家和地方的过去提供新的启示，最终反思书写中世纪历史的意义。
