keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

A study of the prophetic tradition in medieval England brings out
its influence on contemporary politics and the contemporary elite.
The period from the twelfth century to the Wars of the Roses
witnessed a dominant tradition of secular prophecy engaged with
high political affairs, which this book charts, discussing the
production of prophetic texts forecastingthe rule of the whole of
Britain by the kings of England. It draws on the prophetic works of
familiar authors and names, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas
of Erceldoune, alongside previously unpublished manuscript
material,to study identity formation among medieval political
elites. Alongside English prophetic texts, the author explores
competing visions of the British future produced in Wales and
Scotland, with which English prophetic authors entered into an
overt dialogue; this was a cross-border exchange which in many ways
shaped the development of this deeply influential discourse.
Prophecy is revealed to be a dynamic arena for literary exchange,
where alternative imaginings of the future sovereignty of Britain
vied for acceptance, and compelled decision making at the highest
political levels. Dr Victoria Flood is Lecturer in Medieval and
Early Modern Literature at the University of Birmingham.
