Annals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (834 words)
Annals (Latin Annales, from annus, a year) are a concise form of historical writing which record events chronologically, year by year.
It was at the end of the 7th century and among the Anglo-Saxons that the compiling of these Annals was first begun – see the Annals of the Four Masters, the Annals of Ulster, the Annals of Innisfallen and the Annales Cambriae or Annals of Wales, one of the earliest sources for King Arthur.
Arrived at this stage of development, the Annals now began to lose their primitive character, and henceforward became more and more indistinguishable from the Chronicles, though the term was still used for many documents, such as the Annals of Waverley.
