	Robert Of Gloucester - LoveToKnow 1911
		ROBERT OF GLOUCESTER, English chronicler, is known only through his connexion with the work which bears his name.
		The author gives his name as Robert; the dialect which he uses, and his acquaintance with local traditions, justify the supposition that he was a monk of Gloucester.
		Robert's chronicle was first edited by T. Hearne (2 vols., Oxford, 1724); but this text is now superseded by that of W. Aldis Wright (2 vols., Rolls Series, 1887).

		The earliest of the three chronicles mentioned above was written about 1300, and is generally known by the name of Robert of Gloucester, though it is very uncertain whether he was the original author of the whole work.
		The detailed acquaintance with local affairs shown by the writer of the longer continuation proves that he lived near the city, while we have his own authority for the fact that he was within thirty miles of Evesham at the time of the battle so ably described by him.
		The coincidences are certainly not striking enough to justify the assertion that the Gloucester Chronicle owed anything to the Geste des Bretons, though Aldis Wright has shown that the writer of the second recension was acquainted with Layamon’s version of Wace’s poems.

		On Henry's death in 1135, Stephen rushed to England and, ignoring the claim of his elder brother, Theobald, who was already Count of Blois, he entered London and declared himself king.
