The Deeds of the Dukes of Normandy
The Gesta Normannorum Ducum [The Deeds of the Dukes of Normandy] is a landmark medieval chronicle tracing the rise and fall of the Norman dynasty from its early roots through the pivotal events surrounding the Norman Conquest of England. Originally penned in Latin by the monk William of Jumièges shortly before 1060 and later expanded at the behest of William the Conqueror, the work chronicles the deeds, politics, battles, and leadership of the Norman dukes, especially William’s own claim to the English throne. The narrative combines earlier historical sources with firsthand information and oral testimony to present an authoritative account of Normandy’s transformation from a Viking settlement into one of medieval Europe’s most powerful realms. William’s history emphasizes the legitimacy, military prowess, and governance of the Norman line, framing their expansion, including the conquest of England, as both divinely sanctioned and noble in purpose. Later chroniclers such as Orderic Vitalis and Robert of Torigni continued the history, extending the coverage into the 12th century, providing broader context on ducal rule and its impact. Today this classic work remains a foundational source for understanding Norman identity, medieval statesmanship, and the historical forces that reshaped England and Western Europe between 800AD and 1100AD.

Chronicum Anglicanum by Ralph Coggeshall. In the same year [1193], the same king took to wife1 the sister of the King of Denmark, named Ingeborg, a maiden endowed with marvellous beauty. But after the marriage he repudiated her, and placed her among the nuns at Soissons; and he immediately ordered all the Danes who had come with her to return home.
Eodem anno, idem rex sororem regis Daciæ, nomine Ingelburgh, puellam mirabili decore præditam, accepit in uxorem, quam post nuptias repudians, inter sanctimoniales apud Suessionem collocavit; omnesque Dacos, qui cum illa advenerant, illico repatriare jussit.

Ralph de Decito: "Philip, king of the Franks, took to wife the sister of the king of Denmark; but because the divorce between them was solemnly carried out unexpectedly, this was spoken of among the people far more than the royal wedding which had previously taken place at the city of Amiens on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin [15th August 1193].
