'In the year of grace 1066, the Lord, the ruler, brought to fulfilment
what He had long planned for the English people: He delivered them up
to be destroyed by the violent and cunning Norman race.'
Henry of Huntingdon's narrative covers one of the most exciting and
bloody periods in English history: the Norman Conquest and its
aftermath. He tells of the decline of the Old English kingdom, the
victory of the Normans at the Battle of Hastings, and the establishment
of Norman rule. His accounts pf the kings who reigned during his
lifetime - William II, Henry I, and Stephen - contain unique
descriptions of people and events. Henry tells how promiscuity, greed,
treachery, and cruelty produced a series of disasters, rebellions, and
wars. Interwoven with memorable and vivid battle-scenes are anecdotes
of court life, the death and murder of nobles, and the first written
record of Cnut and the waves and the death of Henry I from a surfeit of
lampreys.
Diana Greenway's translation of her definitive Latin text has been revised for this edition.
