Abstract
When Richard Pynson printed The newe cronycles of England and of Fraunce in 1516, he omitted the name of the compiler. But William Rastell, who reprinted it in 1533 changed the title to Fabyans cronycle newly prynted, ascribing it to Robert Fabyan, a wealthy landowner and member of the Drapers’ Company in London, where he was born about 1450, the son of John and Agnes Fabyan.
