Vita Ædwardi Regis

Vita Ædwardi Regis

Today, we are diving deep into the Vita Ædwardi Regis, or The Life of King Edward who rests at Westminster. Written in Latin right on the knife-edge of the Norman Conquest of 1066, this text is not your standard medieval hagiography. It is a complex artefact of its time and an embodiment of how the Anglo-Saxons understood their defeat in 1066.
