Summary

"History of Saint Edward the King, dedicated to Queen Eleanor, is an important representation of the values and dynastic concerns of King Henry III's reign. Matthew Paris's life of Edward the Confessor emphasizes Edward as married virgin king, dispenser of wisdom and courtesy, miraculous healer, and harmonious ruler, and it asserts dynastic and cultural continuity between Edward the Confessor and Henry III. The life is also notable for its portrayal of Anglo-Danish relations, its vilification of Harold Godwinson's brief reign before the Battle of Hastings and the taking of the English throne by the Norman duke William, and its creative adaptations of romance, epic, historiography, and hagiography."--BOOK JACKET.
