'''The Chronicle of King Henry VIII of England''', commonly known as the '''Spanish Chronicle''', is a [chronicle](/source/chronicle) written during the reigns of [Henry VIII](/source/Henry_VIII_of_England) and [Edward VI](/source/Edward_VI_of_England) by an unknown author, based on eyewitness accounts such as that of [Francisco Felipe](/source/Francisco_Felipe).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Martin Andrew Sharp Hume |url=http://archive.org/details/chroniclekinghe00humegoog |title=Chronicle of King Henry VIII. of England: Being a Contemporary Record of Some of the Principal ... |date=1889 |publisher=G. Bell and sons |pages=xxi |language=English}}</ref>

The chronicle was translated from [Spanish](/source/Spanish_language) and published with notes in 1889, by the respected historian [Martin Hume](/source/Martin_Hume).<ref>{{cite NIE |title=Hume, Martin Andrew Sharp |volume=X |page=310 |url=https://archive.org/stream/newinternational10gilm#page/310/mode/2up }}</ref> Hume appears to have regarded the work as an authentic contemporary document from the 16th century that related an eyewitness account of various events in the Tudor period. [Alison Weir](/source/Alison_Weir), in ''[The Six Wives of Henry VIII](/source/The_Six_Wives_of_Henry_VIII_(book))'', notes that the Spanish Chronicle is "notoriously inaccurate".{{sfn|Weir|2008|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=M1yHXitDdyQC&pg=315 315]}}
