John of Glastonbury (fl.
c. 1340) was a Benedictine monk[1] and chronicler.
[3] In the mid fourteenth century John wrote the Cronica Sive Antiquitates Glastoniensis Ecclesie (Chronicles or Antiquities of the Glastonbury Church) which is a chronicle of Glastonbury Abbey, from when it was founded, up to the period of John's life.
The Cronica survives as a full text over seven manuscripts.
[4] The Cronica refers to the Arthurian legends several times, and John drew extensively on De Antiquitate Glastonie Ecclesie by William of Malmesbury.
