Fabyan, Robert

Fabyan, Robert (d. 1513),
clothier and sheriff of London. Fabyan was also an amateur historian who expanded his private diary into The New Chronicles of England and France, published posthumously in 1516. Holinshed, Grafton, and Halle would all turn to this history though it was Fabyan's anecdotes rather than his analysis of cause and effect that made him popular.
