- Title
John Skelton's Autograph Verse Annotations on the Chronique of the Minstrel of Reims for Prince Henry's Education.

- Abstract
The early Tudor laureate John Skelton (c. 1460-1529) wrote original Latin verses, previously unpublished, in the margins of a manuscript copy (Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, Ms. 432) of La chronique d'un ménestrel de Reims (c. 1260). Despite the peculiarities of the Reims Minstrel's Chronique, which may be a parody of prose historical romance, Skelton used it for teaching Henry (1491-1547), later King Henry VIII of England, when Skelton was the prince's tutor during the fourteen-nineties. Skelton's verse marginalia teach historical criticism.
