Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This article explains that a late 14th-century copy of Ranulf Higden's Polychronicon now at the University of Illinois contains previously unknown evidence about the history of Furness Abbey. This includes the dispersal of the monastery's community in 1316 as a consequence of the Scottish raid in that year and the death of 42 monks and 15 lay brothers in 1349 due to the Black Death.
