The second volume of this four-volume set of Latin chronicles,
edited by Richard Howlett (1841-1917) and published between 1884
and 1889, contains the fifth and final book of the Historia rerum
Anglicarum by William of Newburgh (c.1136-c.1198). This book deals
with the events of the years 1194-8. The work is continued in a
supplement up to the year 1298, compiled by a monk of Furness
Abbey. Also included is the Draco Normannicus ('The Norman
Standard') of Etienne de Rouen, a monk from Bec Abbey in Normandy.
Much of this poem is simply the versification of other sources, but
it does possess some historical value, and notably presents King
Arthur as a Breton rather than a British ruler. A glossary and
index to the first two volumes is included, along with helpful
English side-notes to the Latin text.
