John Capgrave (1393 1464) was the Prior of Bishop's Lynn, and the
most learned Augustinian friar of his time. 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.
