Willelmi Malmesbiriensis Monachi De Gestis Regum Anglorum Libri Quinque, in two volumes, stands as a cornerstone of English medieval historiography. Penned by William of Malmesbury, a monk of considerable learning and insight, this work offers a detailed chronicle of the kings of England, commencing with the Anglo-Saxon period and extending to the reign of Henry I. Volume 2 continues this ambitious historical survey, providing invaluable perspectives on the political, social, and cultural landscapes of the era.

Accompanying the De Gestis Regum Anglorum is William's Historiae Novellae Libri Tres, which offers a contemporary account of the tumultuous events of the 12th century, including the reign of King Stephen and the civil war with Empress Matilda. William's narrative skill and critical approach make this a vital resource for understanding a pivotal period in English history. This volume is essential for scholars and enthusiasts seeking primary source material on medieval England.
