Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Church Historians of England, Vol. 5: Containing History of King Henry the First; The Acts of Stephen, King of England, and Duke of Normandy; Giraldus Cambrensis Concerning the Instruction of Princes; Richard of Devises; The History of the Archbishops of Canterbury, by Gervase, Monk of Canter The present volume contains the following chronicles, which carry onwards the history of our church and state from the commencement of the reign of king Henry the first to the middle of that of Edward the second, a period of more than two centuries. The Preface to the History of King Henry the First. § 1. Although this treatise had generally been regarded as the seventh book of the "History of William of Jumiege," and published as such by Camden and Du Chesne, it is, in truth, the production of William de Monte. It professes to give an account of the dukes of Normandy from the death of William the conqueror to that of king Henry first, a few incidents of an historical and miscellaneous character having been added at a later date. The latest event mentioned is the death of the emperor Lothaire the second, which occurred at the close of the year one thousand one hundred and thirty-seven. The whole work is written with a prevailing spirit of candour and impartiality, although the prejudices of the author are evidently on the side of Henry. § 2. It is by no means clear that we possess this work in its completed condition. The author professes his intention to append to it some account of Margaret, queen of Scotland, and her daughter Matilda, Henry´s first wife; but he did not carry this plan into execution. And further than this; every manuscript which has been examined in the formation of the present edition, as well as all those to which both Camden and Du Chesne had access, agree in omitting a portion of the end of chapter xvii., the whole of chapters xviii., xix., and xx., and the commencement of chapter xxi. The whole of these MSS. continue the narrative without break or interruption, and give no mark of any omission. The copies in the Imperial library at Paris, and elsewhere in France, are equally defective. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
