.
He was a member of the Drapers See also:company, See also:alderman of Farringdon Without, and served as See also:sheriff in 1493-1494
.
In 1496 he was one of those appointed to make representations to the See also:- KING

He resigned his aldermanry in 1502, 011 the pretext of poverty, apparently in See also:- ORDER

He had, however, acquired considerable See also:wealth with his wife See also:Elizabeth Poke, by whom he had a numerous family
.
He spent his latter years on his See also:estate of Halstedys at Theydon Garnon in Essex

He died on the 28th of See also:February 1513 (Inquisitiones See also:post mortem for London, p

.
See also:Fabyan's See also:Chronicle was first published by See also:Richard Pynson in 1516 as The new See also:chronicles of See also:England and of See also:France
.
In this edition it ends with the reign of Richard III., and this probably represents the See also:work as Fabyan See also:left it, though with the omission of an autobiographical See also:note and some religious verses, which See also:form the Envoi of his See also:history
.
The note and verses are first found in the second edition, printed by See also:John See also:Rastell in 1533 with continuations down to 1509
.
A third edition appeared in 1542, and a See also:fourth in 1559 with additions to that year

The only See also:modern edition is that of See also:Sir See also:- HENRY

In the note above mentioned Fabyan himself says: " and here I make an ende of the vii. parte and hole werke, the vii. See also:day of See also:November in the yere of our See also:Lord Jesu Christes Incarnacion M.vc. and iiij." This seems conclusive that in 1504 he did not contemplate any See also:extension of his chronicles beyond1485
.
The continuations printed by Rastell are certainly not Fabyan's work
.
But See also:Stow in his Collections (ap
.

.
305-306, ed
.
C

L
.
See also:Kingsford) states that Fabyan wrote " a Chronicle of London, England and of France, beginning at the creation and endynge in the third year of Henry VIII., which both I have in written See also:hand." In his Survey of London (i
.
191, 2o9,: ii
.
55, 116) Stow several times quotes Fabyan as his authority for statements which are not to be found in the printed continuation's of Rastell
.
Some further See also:evidence may be found in other notes of Stow's (ap
.
Survey of London, ii
.
280, 283, 365-366), and in the See also:citation by See also:Hakluyt of an unprinted work of Fabyan aS the authority for his note of See also:Cabot's voyages
.
That Fabyan had continued his Chronicle to 1511 may be accepted as certain, but no trace of the See also:manuscript can now be found
.
It is only the seventh See also:part of Fabyan's Chronicle, from the See also:Norman See also:Conquest onwards, that possesses any See also:historical value
.
For his See also:French history he followed chiefly. the Compendium super Francorum gestis of See also:Robert Gaguin, printed at See also:Paris in 1497
.
For English history his best source was the old Chronicles of London, from which he borrowed also the arrangement of his work in civic form
.
From 1440 to 1485 he follows, as a See also:rule with See also:great fidelity, the See also:original of the London Chronicle in See also:Cotton MS

Fabyan's own merits are little more than those of an industrious compiler, who strung together the accounts of his different authorities -without any See also:critical capacity
.
He says expressly that his work was " gaderyd without understandynge," and speaks of himself as "of cunnynge full destitute." Nevertheless he deserves the praise which he has received as an See also:early worker, and for having made public See also:information which through See also:- HALL

See also:Bale alleges that the first edition was burnt by order of See also:Cardinal See also:Wolsey because it reflected on the wealth of the See also:clergy; this probably refers to his version of the See also:Lollards See also:Bill of 1410, which Fabyan extracted from one of the London Chronicles
