The Carmen de Hastingae Proelio of Guy Bishop of Amiens (Oxford Medieval Texts)

The Carmen de Hastingae Proelio is one of the most discussed sources for the Norman Conquest of England. For this second edition, Frank Barlow has written an entirely new and substantial historical introduction, incorporating the scholarly research of a generation. He has also provided a fresh translation and notes, as well as revising the Latin text of the 1972 edition by Catherine Morton and Hope Muntz.
