About this book
William, a monk of Malmesbury, wrote this history of English kings in the twelfth century, and J. A. Giles gave it an English form in 1847. It runs from the earliest period to the reign of Stephen, with Giles's notes, some added charters and a running timeline of years. Giles built on John Sharpe's translation of 1815 and revised it against the Latin text issued by the English Historical Society. The author left few personal details, and the translator's preface gathers what his own writings reveal about his English and Norman descent.
