Richard of Hexham

Richard of Hexham

Richard of Hexham (fl. 1141) was an English chronicler. He became prior of Hexham about 1141, and died between 1163 and 1178.

He wrote "Brevis Annotatio", a short history of the church of Hexham from 674 to 1138, for which he borrowed from Bede, Eddius and Symeon of Durham. This is published by James Raine in "The Priory of Hexham, its Chroniclers, Endowments and Annals" (Durham, 1864 to 1865). More important is his "Historia de gestis regis Stephani ci de bello Standardii", very valuable for the history of the north of England during the earlier part of the reign of Stephen, and especially for the Battle of the Standard.

This history, which is a contemporary one, covers the period from the death of Henry I in 1135 to early in 1139. It has been edited for the Rolls Series by R. Howlett in the "Chroniclers of the Reigns of Stephen, Henry II and Richard I", vol. iii. (1886); and has been translated by J. Stevenson in the "Church Historians of England", vol. iv. (1856).
