Thomas Elmham
Thomas Elmham (1364 – in or after 1427[1]) was an English chronicler.
Life
Thomas Elmham was probably born at
Cluniacs, was prior of Lenton Priory, near Nottingham; he was chaplain to Henry V, whom he may have accompanied to France in 1415, and may have been present at the Battle of Agincourt.[3][4]
Works
Elmham wrote a history of the
English Historical Society by B. Williams (1850).[3]
However, the modern editors of the Gesta convincingly rejected this attribution to Elmham. In short, the prose life by Thomas Elmham is not known to survive.
