| Description: |
This two-volume Latin history of England, published 1863-9, covers the years 447-1066. |
| Synopsis: |
Richard of Cirencester (c.1335-1400) wrote his Latin history of the deeds of the English kings while he was a Benedictine monk at St Peter's, Westminster. His work is largely unoriginal and derivative of other historians, but it does contain valuable information about Westminster Abbey, as well as a full account of the saints whose tombs were to be seen in the abbey church. The fourth (and last) book concentrates solely on the reign and deeds of Edward the Confessor. Although Richard expresses an intention to continue his story in a fifth book, beginning with William the Conqueror, there is no evidence that he ever did so. This two-volume work, edited by the scholar John Eyton Bickersteth Mayor (1825-1910) and published between 1863 and 1869, covers the period from the legendary accession of Vortigern in 447 up to 1066. |
