Excerpt from The Annals of Roger De Hoveden, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising the History of England and of Other Countries of Europe From A. D. 732 to A. D. 1201; Translated From the Latin, With Notes and Illustrations Having enumerated these, it is my intention to adopt the history of the most holy and learned Bede as the foundation of this work, commencing at the last sentence thereof; and, recording the years of our Lord, carefully reviewing in their order the reigns of the kings, and brie y, to the best of my ability, remarking upon the life and miracles of the rest of the faithful, it is my earnest desire, together with them, to receive from Christ the reward of everlasting salvation. Come, thou benign Spirit, who without thine own aid art never imparted; bestow thy bounty on my tongue, thou who in thy bounty dost bestow tongues.
