Gesta Regum Anglorum
William of Malmesbury's Regesta Regum Anglorum (Deeds of the English Kings) is one of the great histories of England, and one of the most important historical works of the European Middle Ages. Volume II of the Oxford Medieval Texts edition provides a full historical introduction, a detailed textual commentary, and an extensive bibliography. It forms the essential complement to the text and translation which appeared in Volume I.
Gesta Pontificum Anglorum
" ... second volume ... contains an introduction and detailed commentary to accompany the Latin text and translation of the work appearing in Volume I. The introduction presents and analyses the reasons behind the work ... The commentary, linked to the Latin text, discusses problems and questions thrown up by the work, and illustrations appear throughout."--Jacket.
The Deeds of the Bishops of England
This is the first modern English translation of one of William's major achievements which, together with the Deeds of the Kings of England, account for his reputation. It is a survey of the bishops in all the dioceses of England from Augustine's arrival in Canterbury in 597 down to the 1120s.

Gesta Regum Anglorum
Gesta Regum Anglorum (meaning Chronicle of the Kings of England) is a 12th-century chronicle of the kings of England by William of Malmesbury. It followed other works written by Malmesbury on the deeds of English Bishops. Malmesbury would later add Historia Novella, which continued the account for several more years, though that account is not included here. It is notable for Arthurian scholars since Arthur is briefly mentioned, though most of the work does not pertain to Arthur directly. Malmesbury was clearly borrowing from older sources for his history. These texts are taken from public domain sources. Their inclusion in this volume is for convenience, as a way of keeping all the shorter and fragmentary texts together in one place. A free copy of the ebook is available online.
