The Earl and the Chronicler 506 Available only to authorized users. 520 The Earl, The Kings, And The Chronicler' is the first full length biography of Robert (c.1088-1147), grandson of William the Conqueror and eldest son of King Henry I of England (1100-35), who could not succeed his father because he was a bastard. Instead, as the earl of Gloucester, he helped change the course of English history by keeping alive the prospects for an Angevin succession through his leadership of its supporters against his father's successor, King Stephen (1135-54) in the civil war known as the Anarchy. 0Robert of Gloucester is one of the great figures of Anglo-Norman history (1066-1154). He occupies important niches in the era's literature, from comprehensive political studies of Henry I's and Stephen's reigns and an array of specialized fields to the 'Brother Cadfael' novels of Ellis Peters. Gloucester was one of only three landed super-magnates of his day, a model post-Conquest great baron, Marcher lord, borough developer, and patron of the rising merchant class. His trans-Channel barony0stretched from western Lower Normandy across England to south Wales. Robert was both a product and a significant agent of the contemporary cultural revival known as the Renaissance of the Twelfth Century, being bi-lingual, well educated, and a significant literary patron. In this last role he is especially notable for commissioning the greatest English historian since Bede, William of Malmesbury, to produce a history of their times which justified the empress Matilda's claim to the English throne and Earl Robert's support of it. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 600 00 Robert, |cEarl of Gloucester, |dapproximately 1090-1147. |=^A1382631 600 07 Robert, |cEarl of Gloucester, |dapproximately 1090-1147. |2nli |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 To 1500 |2fast 650 0 Nobility |zGreat Britain |xHistory |yTo 1500 |vSources. |=^A1057700 650 0 Nobility |zGreat Britain |xHistory |yTo 1500 |vBiography. |=^A1057700 650 7 Countesses. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00881352 650 7 Nobility. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01038255 650 7 Nobility |zGreat Britain |xHistory |yTo 1500 |vSources. |2nli 650 7 Nobility |zGreat Britain |xHistory |yTo 1500 |vBiography. |2nli 651 0 Great Britain |xHistory |yMedieval period, 1066-1485 |vSources. |=^A310673 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 Great Britain |xHistory |yMedieval period, 1066-1485 |vSources. |2nli |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 0 Electronic books. |=^A491897 710 2 Oxford University Press. |=^A636469 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F26683 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online History |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F26683 947 (OCoLC)on1039923646 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 5682273
