In 1485 He Served As Renter Warden Of The Drapers, And In 1486 As Auditor Of The Accounts Of The City Of London. In 1493 He Was Elected Sheriff, And In The Following Year As Alderman Of The Ward Of Farringdon Without. In 1495 He Was Elected Master Of The Drapers, And In 1496 Was Chosen To Petition Henry Vii On Behalf Of The Company With Respect To The Levies On Cloth Exported From England To Flanders. During The Cornish Rebellion Of 1497 Fabyan, John Brooke And John Warner Were Charged With Securing Ludgate And Newgate. After The Suppression Of The Rebellion They Travelled With The King To Woodstock. In 1498 He Was One Of The Assessors Of A Subsidy Levied To Finance The War In Scotland. In 1501 He Was Again Elected Master Of The Drapers. In 1503 He Resigned His Office Of Alderman On The Ground That He Lacked The Financial Resources To Support Election As Lord Mayor. He Is Best Known As The Author Of The Work Commonly Known As Fabyan's Chronicle, Which Presents 'Parallel Histories Of England And France', And Covers The Period From The Arrival Of The Legendary Brutus Of Troy In England To The Death Of Henry Vii. Two Manuscripts Are Extant (Holkham Hall, Ms 671, And Bl, Cotton Ms Nero C.Xi), And Although These Are Not In Fabyan's Hand, It Is Almost Certain That The Text Is His. The Chronicle Was Initially Printed Without Attribution By Richard Pynson In 1516 As The New Chronicles Of England And France, But An Edition Of 1533 Printed By William Rastell Bore Fabyan's Name On The Title Page: Fabyans Cronycle Newly Prynted. Both John Bale And John Stow Described The Chronicle As Fabyan's Work, Although According To Mclaren, Stow Also Wrongly Attributes To Him The Manuscript Of The Great Chronicle (London, Guildhall Library, Ms 3313), Likely Because Both Fabyan's Chronicle And The Great Chronicle Are Written (Or Copied) In The Same Hand. A Continuation In 1509 Appears Also To Be Attributable To Fabyan, And Includes Events Personally Witnessed By Him, Such As The Arrest In 1468 Of Thomas Cooke, A Prominent Merchant In London, And The Arrival In England In 1502 Of Three Men, Inhabitants Of Newfoundland, 'Whom The King Kept A Time After'. Fabyan Was The First London Chronicler To Cite His Sources, Which Included The Brut, Bede, William Of Malmesbury, Ranulf Higden, Henry Of Huntingdon And Numerous Others, As Well As Records Of The City Of London. John Bale Claimed That The 1516 Edition Was Burned By Cardinal Wolsey. The Second Edition Of 1533 Was Printed After Wolsey's Death, And Was Followed By Editions In 1542 And 1559. Henry Ellis Edited This Modern Edition In 1811. …
