Purchase options and add-ons

The first full English translation of Rigord's Gesta Philippi Augusti, The Deeds of Philip Augustus makes available to Anglophone readers the most important narrative account of the reign of King Philip II of France (r. 1180–1223), a critical source about this pivotal figure in the development of the medieval French monarchy and an intriguing window into many aspects of the broader twelfth century.

Rigord wrote his chronicle in Latin, covering the first two-thirds of Philip II's reign, including such events as Philip's fateful expulsion of the Jews in 1182, his departure on the Third Crusade in 1190, his governmental innovations, and his victory over King John of England. As Philip II transformed French royal power, Rigord transformed contemporary writing about the nature of that power. Presented in a lively and readable translation framed by an introduction that contextualizes the text and accompanied by annotations, maps, and illustrations, The Deeds of Philip Augustus makes one of the most important documents of twelfth-century France available to a wide new readership.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This translation into English of one of the most important texts pertaining to the reign of Philip II Augustus will be of enormous value to graduate students and seasoned scholars alike and makes this very interesting text available to a wider readership. The quality of the translation?simultaneously modern and faithful to the original?and the annotation of the text are both superb.

-- William Chester Jordan, author of The Apple of His Eye

This is an excellent translation of Rigord's Deeds of Philip Augustus: elegant, readable, and accurate. The editors' introduction concisely and engagingly lays out the significance of the work for specialist and nonspecialist alike. Medievalists will deeply admire and appreciate this volume.
