See also:ROBERT OF See also:GLOUCESTER , See also:English chronicler, is known only through his connexion with the See also:work which bears his name. This is a See also:vernacular See also:history of See also:England, from the days of the legendary See also:Brut to the See also:year 1270, and is written in rhymed couplets. The lines are of fourteen syllables, with a break after the eighth syllable. The author gives his name as Robert; the See also:dialect which he uses, and his acquaintance with See also:local traditions, justify the supposition that he was a See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

He describes, from his own recollections, the See also:bad See also:weather which prevailed in the neighbourhood of See also:Evesham on the See also:day of the See also:battle between the Montfortians and See also:Prince See also:Edward (1265). He also alluded to the See also:canonization of See also:- LOUIS

Louis IX. of See also:France, which took See also:place in 1297. He probably wrote about the year 1300. The earlier See also:part of his See also:chronicle (up to 1135) may be from another See also:hand, since it occurs in some See also:manuscripts in a shorter See also:form, and with an exceedingly brief continuation by an See also:anonymous versifier. There is no See also:good See also:reason for the theory that this part was translated from a See also:French See also:original; nor does it contain any undoubted borrowings from French See also:sources. The authorities employed for the earlier part were See also:Geoffrey of See also:Monmouth, See also:- HENRY

William of See also:Malmesbury, the English See also:Chronicles, and some See also:minor sources; Robert, in making his recension of it, also used the Brut of See also:Layamon. From 1135 to 1256 Robert is still a compiler, although references to oral tradition become more frequent as he approaches his own 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.

time. From 1256 to 1270 he has the value of a contemporary authority. But he is more important to the philologist than to the historian. His chronicle is one of the last See also:works written in Old English.
