Castleford's Chronicle, also known as the Boke of Brute, is a major Middle English verse chronicle attributed to Thomas Castleford. Composed in the early 14th century, it is one of the longest English chronicles of its time, totaling nearly 40,000 lines in eleven books and a prologue. The work survives in a single manuscript, now held at the State and University Library in Göttingen, Germany. The chronicle tells the history of Britain from its legendary origins, beginning with Albina and her sisters and the arrival of Brutus (a foundational myth popularized by Geoffrey of Monmouth), up to the reign of Edward II in the early 14th century. .
