Book Reviews of The History of the English People 1000-1154 (Oxford World's Classics)
Book Review: HISTORIA ANGLORUM
Summary: 3 Stars
Henry of Huntingdon (c. 1080-1160) was an English historian, and archdeacon of Huntingdon. This work was called "Historia Anglorum" (History of the English) covering the period from the Roman invasion in 43 BC to the accession of Henry II . It is derivative, some would say plagiarised, with some 40% of it drawn directly from Bede's "Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum". However, he uses his own sources for the years 1126-1154, and was occasionally a witness of events during those years.
(reigns of Henry I and Henry II, and the anarchy of King Stephen). The work contains lurid tales which he intended as a way to "spice up" the descriptions.
Henry divided English history into five waves of invasion of Britain by the Romans, Picts and Scots, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and Normans.
