The Annals of Lund (Latin: Annales Lundenses) is a Latin set of annals written in Lund around 1250–1307. Several manuscript copies have survived to the modern day. The text is composed of two parts: the first part is based on earlier works, including the Chronicon Lethrense, and discusses events from antiquity to 1256; the second part includes events from every year until 1307.Danmarks tilblivelse og europæisering – tiden indtil ca. 1453 . danmarkshistorie.gyldendal.dk.
