Summary:

Henry of Huntingdon's 'Historia Anglorum' is a comprehensive historical account covering the history of England from 55 AD to 1154 AD. The work is divided into eight books and includes a detailed examination of significant events such as the Roman invasion, the Anglo-Saxon period, the Norman Conquest, and the establishment of Norman rule. Written at the request of Bishop Alexander of Blois, the narrative integrates Bede's historical writings and other chronicles, providing both historical context and commentary. The text includes an epistle, 'De Contemptu Mundi,' which offers moral reflections on worldly matters. Edited by Thomas Arnold, this edition is enriched with supplementary materials such as glossaries and appendices to aid historical research. Intended for scholars and students of medieval history, the book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the political, social, and ecclesiastical developments of the English nation during the Middle Ages.
