Chronica Magistri Rogeri De Houedene: Volume 1

Klappentext Roger of Hoveden's Chronica was begun around 1192 and covers English history from 732 to 1201, when it is assumed he died. The work is largely an annotated compilation of various other chronicles, including the Gesta Regis Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis (also reissued in this series). This was formerly attributed to Benedict of Peterborough, which was the view taken by William Stubbs (1825-1901) when he edited this work for the Rolls Series in 1868-71. Since the twentieth century, however, Hoveden has been recognised as the author. As a clerk to Henry II until 1189, and later as a diplomat during the Third Crusade, he was ideally placed to gain first-hand knowledge and also documents, which he provides here in full. Volume 1 (to 1148) comprises copies of chronicles attributed to Symeon of Durham and Henry of Huntington, and draws on the Historia Saxonum sive Anglorum post obitum Bedae. Zusammenfassung Roger of Hoveden's twelfth-century Chronica, as edited by William Stubbs (1825–1901) and published in 1868–71 for the Rolls Series, contains the complete Latin text with full annotations, glossary and indexes. Each volume's preface provides detailed historical and bibliographical context, manuscript information, and analyses of content and accuracy.
