HENRY OF See also:HUNTINGDON , See also:English chronicler of the 12th See also:century, was See also:born, apparently, between the years 1o8o and 1090. His See also:father, by name See also:Nicholas, was a clerk, who became See also:archdeacon of See also:Cambridge, See also:Hertford and Huntingdon, in the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time of See also:Remigius, See also:bishop of See also:Lincoln (d. 1092). The See also:celibacy of the See also:clergy was not strictly enforced in See also:England before 1102. Hence the chronicler makes no See also:secret of his antecedents, nor did they interfere with his career. At an See also:early See also:age Henry entered the See also:household of Bishop See also:Robert See also:Bloet, who appointed him, immediately after the See also:death of Nicholas (r See also:sus), archdeacon of Hertford and Huntingdon. Henry was on See also:familiar terms with his See also:patron;and also, it would, seem, with Bloet's successor, by whom he was encouraged to undertake the See also:writing of an English See also:history from the time of See also:Julius See also:Caesar. This See also:work, undertaken before 1130, was first published in that See also:year; the author subsequently published in See also:succession four more See also:editions, of which the last ends in 1154 with the See also:accession of Henry II. The only recorded fact of the chronicler's later See also:life is that he went with See also:Archbishop See also:Theobald to See also:Rome in 1139. On the way Henry halted at See also:Bee, and there made the acquaintance of Robert de Torigni, who mentions their encounter in the See also:preface to his See also:Chronicle.
The Historia Anglorum was first printed in See also:Savile, Rerum Anglicarum scriptores See also:post Bedam (See also:London, 1596). The first six books, excepting the third, which is almost entirely taken from See also:Bede, are given in Monumenta historica Britannica, vol. i. (ed. H. See also:Petrie and
J. See also:Sharpe, London, 1848). The See also:standard edition is that of T. See also:Arnold in the Rolls See also:Series (London, 1879). There is a See also:translation by T. Forester in See also:Bohn's Antiquarian Library (London, 1853). The Historia is of little See also:independent value before 1126. Up to that point the author compiles from See also:Eutropius, Aurelius See also:Victor, See also:Nennius, Bede and the English See also:chronicles, particularly that of See also:Peterborough ; in some cases he professes to supplement these See also:sources from oral tradition; but most of his amplifications are pure See also:rhetoric (see F. See also:Liebermann in Forschungen zur deutschen Geschichte for 1878, pp. 265 seq.). Arnold prints, in an appendix, a See also:minor work from Henry's See also:pen, the Epistola ad Walterum de contemptu mundi, which was written in 1135. It is a moralizing See also:tract, but contains some interesting anecdotes about contemporaries. Henry also wrote epistles to Henry I. (on the succession of See also:kings and emperors in the See also:great monarchies of the See also:world) and to " Warinus, a Briton " (on the early See also:British kings, after See also:Geoffrey of See also:Monmouth). A See also:book, De miraculis, composed of extracts from Bede, was appended along with these three epistles to the later recensions of the Historia. Henry composed eight books of Latin epigrams; two books survive in the See also:Lambeth MS., No. 118. His value as a historian, formerly much overrated, is discussed at length by Liebermann and in T. Arnold's introduction to the Rolls edition of the Historia:
