There are two extant sources which give an account of the foundation of "New ‎England". The first account is the Chronicon Universale Anonymi Laudunensis. This ‎was written by an English monk at the Premonstratensian monastery ‎in Laon, Picardy, and covers the history of the world until ‎‎1219.[1] The Chronicon survives in two 13th-century manuscripts, one in ‎the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris (Lat. 5011), and the other in the Staatsbibliothek ‎‎, Berlin (Phillipps 1880).[2]‎ The second is the text known as the Játvarðar Saga (Saga Játvarðar konungs hins ‎helga), an Icelandic saga about the life of Edward the Confessor, King of England ‎‎(1042–1066).[3] It was compiled in the 14th century, in Iceland, probably using ‎the Chronicon Universale Anonymi Laudunensis (or common ancestor) as a ‎source.[4]‎
