Bartholomaeus de Cotton, the Cellarer of Norwich Cathedral Priory,
died in 1321/2. His most important work is the Historia Anglicana,
written in 1292, with a few later additions. Book I, the history of
Britain, taken from Geoffrey of Monmouth, was omitted by H. R.
Luard from this 1859 edition. Book II, the history of England, is
divided into two sections, from 455 to 1066, and from 1066 to the
end of the thirteenth century. The work is most valuable for the
period after 1264, as one of Cotton's sources, an anonymous Norwich
chronicle, contains material not found elsewhere, and he also
quotes from ecclesiastical and royal documents. Book III gives the
history of the bishops and archbishops of England, mostly taken
from other sources but with some useful material relating to the
Diocese of Norwich. A glossary is provided.
