He wrote a Latin See also:treatise De antiquitate et magnificentia Urbis Cestriae, which is lost, and a See also:life of the See also:patron See also:saint of his monastery in English seven-lined See also:stanza. This See also:work was completed in the See also:year of its author's See also:death, 1513, mentioned in " A balade to the auctour " printed at the See also:close of the work. A second ballad describes him as " Harry Braddeshaa, of Chestre See also:abbey monke."

The poem, therefore, which is defined by its editor, Dr Carl Horstmann, as a "legendary epic," is rather a compilation than a See also:translation.

king of See also:Mercia, and Bradshaw gives a description of the See also:kingdom of Mercia, with a full See also:account of its royal See also:house. He relates the history of St Ermenilde and St Sexburge, See also:mother and grandmother of Werburgh, who were successively abbesses of See also:Ely. He does not neglect the miraculous elements of the See also:story, but he is more attracted by See also:historical fact than See also:legend, and the second See also:book narrates the Danish invasion of 875, and describes the history and antiquities of Chester, from its See also:foundation by the legendary See also:giant See also:Leon See also:Gaur, from which he derives the See also:British name of See also:Caerleon, down to the See also:great See also:fire which devastated the See also:city in 1180, but was suddenly extinguished when the See also:shrine of St Werburgh was carried in See also:pro-cession through the streets. The See also:Holy Lyfe and History of saynt Werburge very frutefull for all Christen See also:people to rede (printed by See also:Richard Pynson, 1521) has been very variously estimated.

Thomas See also:Warton, who deals with Bradshaw at some length,' quotes as the most splendid passage of the poem the description of the feast preceding Werburgh's entry into the religious life. He considered Bradshaw's versification " infinitely inferior to See also:Lydgate's worst manner." Dr Horstmann, on the other See also:hand, finds in the poem " See also:original See also:genius, of a truly epic See also:tone, with a
1 History of English See also:Poetry (ed. W. C. See also:Hazlitt, 1871; iii. pp. 140-'49)
native simplicity of feeling which sometimes reminds the reader of See also:Homer." Most readers will probably adopt a view between these extremes. Bradshaw expresses the humblest See also:opinion of his own abilities, and he certainly had no delicate See also:ear for See also:rhythm. His sincerity is abundantly evident, and his piety is admitted even by See also:John See also:Bale,' hostile as he was to monkish writers. W. Herbert2 thought that a Lyfe of Saynt Radegunde, also printed by Pynson, was certainly by Bradshaw. The only extant copy is in the Britwell library.
Pynson's edition of the Holy Lyfe is very rare, only five copies being known. A reprint copying the original type was edited by Mr. See also:Edward See also:Hawkins for the Chetham Society in 1848, and by Dr Carl Hortsmann for the See also:Early English See also:Text Society in 1887.
