Although he was the author of forty-one scholarly works, only twelve survive. This work was dedicated to King Henry VI and chronicles the lives of other great Henries, including six emperors of Germany and six kings of England (including the dedicatee himself). Largely compilations of other sources, his extensive accounts demonstrate the breadth of the scholarship for which he was known. This annotated edition was commissioned as part of the Rolls Series, a project designed, in an early campaign for ease of access to scholarly material, to put more historical sources into print. Edited by F. C. Hingeston and first published in 1858, it includes Capgrave's full Latin text and a glossary, thorough biographical notes, and chapter-by-chapter summaries, offering a useful resource for students of medieval history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e The liber de illustribus Henricis: Dedication to Henry VI\u003cbr\u003e Emperors of Germany: Henry I\u003cbr\u003e Henry II\u003cbr\u003e Henry III\u003cbr\u003e Henry IV\u003cbr\u003e Henry V\u003cbr\u003e Henry VI\u003cbr\u003e Dedication of the Second Part\u003cbr\u003e Kings of England: Henry I\u003cbr\u003e Henry II\u003cbr\u003e Henry III\u003cbr\u003e Henry IV\u003cbr\u003e Henry V\u003cbr\u003e Henry VI\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the Third Part: Eric VI, King of Denmark\u003cbr\u003e Henry I, King of France\u003cbr\u003e Henry, son of Richard King of the Romans\u003cbr\u003e Henry II, Count of Champagne, and afterwards King of Jerusalem\u003cbr\u003e Henry, Archbishop of Sens\u003cbr\u003e Henry Duke of Lancaster\u003cbr\u003e Henry de Bohun, Earl of Hereford\u003cbr\u003e Henry de Beaumont\u003cbr\u003e Henry le Despenser, Bishop of Norwich\u003cbr\u003e Henry, Archdeacon of Huntingdon\u003cbr\u003e Henry, Archdeacon of Ghent\u003cbr\u003e Henry de Urimaria\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e General index.\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":46266070532376,"sku":"9781108042628","price":30.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108042628i_1396bdbf-9511-4bbc-a970-e51cc2c110e1.jpg?v=1696746557","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/liber-de-illustribus-henricis-paperback-9781108042628","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
