  §14. Ralph of Diceto. IX. Latin Chroniclers from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries. Vol. 1. From the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ralph was another chronicler whose public life and position brought him into close contact with the great men of his time, and gave him access to the best sources of information.
Ralph is one of the most sober and straightforward of the chroniclers, and is little given to gossip or rhetorical decoration.
Ralph, however, had much of the insight of the historian who seeks to analyse and to account for, as well as to record, public events and movements, and he was a shrewd judge of character and motive.

Although his narrative is colourless, and although he was one of those who showed some sympathy for Becket at the council of Northampton (1164), the correspondence of Diceto shows that he regarded the archbishop's conduct as ill-considered, and that he gave advice to those whom Becket regarded as his chief enemies.
Diceto was selected, in 1166, as the envoy of the English bishops when they protested against the excommunications launched by Becket.
Though an annalist, Diceto is careless in his chronology; and the documents which he incorporates, while often important, are selected on no principle.

 Ralph de Diceto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The name "Dicetum" cannot be correctly connected with any place in England; it is possible therefore that Ralph was born in France.
Ralph's important position in ecclesiastical circles, his friendship with many prominent men, such as William Longchamp and Walter of Coutances, the help he received from them, the documents he incorporates, and his own moderate temper render his work of capital importance in spite of some chronological vagueness.
The prefaces to the two volumes contain an admirable account of the historian, of the society in which he moved, and of the writings themselves.

Ralph of Diceto states that Æthelstan was consecrated by Athelm, Archbishop of Canterbury (died 8 Jan 926), at Kingston:
The facts about Eadmund's consecration are known from the works of Ralph of Diceto [7] and Gervase of Canterbury, while the chronicles of John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury omit this event.
Ralph of Diceto wrote that Eadmund was consecrated by Lyfing, Archbishop of Canterbury at London:

 Looking Back on the Second Crusade
Another invaluable writer, Ralph of Diceto, mentioned only the preliminaries to the crusade, not the crusade itself.
He preferred not to dwell on the hardships, pestilence and enemy attacks suffered during the passage through the Byzantine empire, ascribing them to the oppression of the poor and the spoliation of churches that had attended the start of the expedition.
Ralph of Coggeshall also reported that the siege was raised when the Templars accepted a bribe, although in his case he believed that it had been paid by Nur al-Din.

After a sojourn in Italy, where he was twice exposed to Roger’s arguments and bribes, and twice succumbed, the patriarch was de posed, and Raymond, who rightly suspected him of being privy to a Norman conspiracy, threw him into prison, where he died in 1139.
He was accompanied by two of his uncles, Theobald, count of Blois, and Stephen, count of Sancerre, together with count Ralph of Clermont, count William of Chalon, count John of Ponthieu, and a number of important barons.

 Eleanor
"He issued instructions to the princes of the realm, almost in the style of a general edict, that the queen's word should be law in all matters," wrote a contemporary chronicler, Ralph of Diceto.
According to Ralph of Diceto, Eleanor's life "revealed the truth of a prophecy which had puzzled all by its obscurity: 'The eagle of the broken bond shall rejoice in the third nestling.' They called the queen the eagle because she stretched out her wings, as it were, over two kingdoms - France and England.
She had been separated from her French relatives through divorce, while the English had separated her from her marriage bed by confining her to prison.

Wife-beating was common, although the Church did at this time attempt to restrict the length of the rod that a husband might use.
It is fair to say, however, that there were women who transcended the mores of society and got away with it: the evidence suggests that Eleanor of Aquitaine was one such.
Ralph of Diceto wrote that the duchy “abounds with riches of many kinds, so excelling other parts of the western world that it is considered by historians one of the most fortunate and prosperous provinces of Gaul.”

 Henry II "Curtmantle"
Lewis (2002) would place an additional son either here or between Geoffrey and Eleanor, based on a statement of Ralph of Diceto that there were six sons, two of whom died young [R. Dic.
Although Ralph is generally a trustworthy authority, this son is not confirmed by any other source.
In addition to Ykenai, Ida, and Ralph Bloet's wife, another well known mistress of Henry II who is worth mentioning is Rosamond Clifford, who was falsely stated by many sources to be the mother of Geoffrey and William, although modern scholarship shows that neither of them was her son.

 The Collected Papers of Frederic William Maitland (1911) - Vol. II Essays 3: The Online Library of Liberty
According to this version of the story there is no dispute between king and clergy as to the competence of any tribunal; the sole question is as to whether degradation—a punishment which can be inflicted only by the ecclesiastical court—is a sufficient penalty for such a crime as murder.
The archbishop might from his own point of view represent as a mere sophism the argument that during the preliminary proceedings in the lay court there was no judgment, and that during the final proceedings there was no clerk.
When Ralph de Diceto writes curiae traderet puniendos, when the author of Summa Causae writes curiae meae lictoribus tradantur, when Anonymus II writes mox degradari, they are one and all alluding—so it seems to me—to certain phrases in Gratian's book.

This list can now be extended to include the British Isles, based on the identification of a further seven manuscripts of that work, six of them in the British Library, and all of English origin or provenance.
Each of these manuscripts is here described in turn, together with the evidence of mediaeval library-catalogues, and the historical writings of Ralph de Diceto, canon of St Paul's Cathedral.
It is consequently suggested that this Chronicle's reputation in England reached its zenith between 1150 and 1250, that it was most popular among the regular religious Orders, and that Hugh's influence on English historians was more substantial than could hitherto be imagined.

When Henry II put down the revolt in 1174, after his second invasion of Aquitaine, Richard refused to face him in single combat and sued for peace, taking a renewed oath of subservience to his father.
Richard's courtiers - according to the chronicler, Ralph of Diceto - had the Jews stripped, flogged and thrown out of the Court, sparking a massacre of London's Jews as the people of London willingly joined in the 'fun'.
Writing of this incident at a later date, Richard described it as 'holocaustum' - an interesting turn of phrase which would turn up again, in the 20th Century, with altogether more terrible consequences.
