  §7. Henry of Huntingdon. IX. Latin Chroniclers from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries. Vol. 1. From the ...
Modern criticism, however, has largely destroyed Henry’s claims to rank as a first-rate historical authority, and in neither style, accuracy, nor fulness of detail is he worthy of any serious comparison with William.
Henry himself appears to have rated his powers at quite as high a value as William’s; for he prefaces his chronicle with a floridly rhetorical and ambitious disquisition upon the “prerogatives” of history.
Henry was a secular clerk, who lived under the patronage, first of Robert Bloet, bishop of Lincoln, and afterwards of his successor, Alexander of Blois.

 Looking Back on the Second Crusade
Two authors were especially influential: Henry of Huntingdon, who must have composed his account of the crusade by 1155 - in other words within seven years of the expedition itself - and the Norman abbot of Mont St. Michel, Robert of Torigni, who would seem to have been writing rather later.
Roger of Howden, for example, lifted his account of the crusade verbatim from Henry of Huntingdon, while the description of these events in the annals of the Cistercian abbey of Waverley in Surrey is copied word for word from Robert of Torigni.
In the case of the crusade it was licentiousness in the camp that lay at the root of divine displeasure.

Probably he died in 1155, as a new archdeacon of Huntingdon is found in that year.

A chronicler who is as great an authority, for the reign of which he treats, as either William of Malmesbury or Henry of Huntingdon, is the anonymous author of the Acts of Stephen (Gesta Stephani).
He is a palpable partisan of Stephen, and has been supposed by some to have been the king’s confessor.
Nothing, however, better illustrates the general trustworthiness and impartiality of the twelfth century chroniclers than a comparison of the narrative of this historian with those of William of Malmesbury and Henry of Huntingdon.
