It is a crucial source of information on the reign of Henry II and consists of annals and a wide variety of documents, presented here in the original Latin. The chronicle was originally attributed to Benedict of Peterborough (c.1135–93), who kept the manuscript in his library. This was disputed by the scholar William Stubbs (1825–1901), who edited this work for the Rolls Series in 1867. It is now widely accepted that the author was Roger of Hoveden (d.1201\/2), clerk to Henry II and present during Richard I's journey to take part in the Third Crusade. Volume 1 includes extensive historiographical commentary and appendices. Volume 2 includes extensive commentary on the governance of Henry II.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Appendices to preface\u003cbr\u003e Gesta Regis Henrici Secundi\u003cbr\u003e Gesta Regis Richardi\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Geographical index and glossary\u003cbr\u003e General index\u003cbr\u003e Collation of the pagination of this edition with that of Hearne and Bouquet.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913150030104,"sku":"9781108048767","price":42.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108048767i_f463f51a-a200-4f15-a21a-e61ad364e3a7.jpg?v=1696746827","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/gesta-regis-henrici-secundi-benedicti-abbatis-the-chronicle-of-the-reigns-of-henry-ii-and-richard-i-ad-1169-1192-known-commonly-under-the-name-of-benedict-of-peterborough-paperback-9781108048767","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
