Henry of Huntingdon, English chronicler, was brought up in the household of the Bishop of Lincoln, and about 1120 became Archdeacon of Huntingdon. His chef d'œuvre is the Histoire
Anglorum, coming down to 1154. Besides this he wrote several epistles on historical matters and some poems. His History was published for the Rolls series by T. Arnold in 1880; an English translation by T. Forrester appeared in 1853. See Gairdner's Early Chroniclers of Europe (1879).
