Vita Ædwardi Regis
The ''Vita Ædwardi Regis qui apud Westmonasterium Requiescit'' ((英語:Life of King Edward who rests at Westminster)) or simply ''Vita Ædwardi Regis'' ((英語:Life of King Edward)) is a historical manuscript completed by an anonymous author 1067 and commissioned by Queen Edith, wife of King Edward the Confessor. It survives in one manuscript, dated 1100, now in the British Library. The author is unknown, but was a servant of the queen and probably a Fleming. The most likely candidates are Goscelin and Folcard, monks of St Bertin Abbey in St Omer.
It is a two-part text, the first dealing with England in the decades before the Norman Conquest (1066) and the activities of the family of Godwin, Earl of Wessex, and the second dealing with the holiness of King Edward. It is likely that the two parts were originally distinct. The first book is a secular history, not hagiography, although book ii is more hagiographic and was used as the basis of later saint's lives dedicated to the king, such as those by Osbert of Clare and Aelred of Rievaulx.
==Manuscripts==
There are two modern editions, those of Henry Richards Luard (1858) and Frank Barlow (1962, 1992).〔Barlow (ed.), ''Life of King Edward'', pp. 2–127; Luard (ed.), ''Lives of Edward the Confessor'', pp. 389–435〕 The ''Vita Ædwardi Regis'' survives in one manuscript, written in folios 38 to 57 of the British Library Harley MS 526, these twenty folios measuring c. 13 cm by 18.5 c and penned in "brownish ink".〔Barlow (ed.), ''Life of King Edward'', pp. xxviii–lxxix; Gransden, ''Historical Writing'', p. 60〕 Written on the manuscript at a later date is the name of Richard Bancroft, Archbishop of Canterbury (1604–1610), who must therefore have acquired it. Its location prior to the life of Archbishop Bancroft is unclear, but possible locations include Canterbury itself, London Cathedral or the church of Westminster, as Bancroft had previously been a canon of Westminster as well as treasurer, prebendary and Bishop of London.〔Barlow (ed.), ''Life of King Edward'', p. lxxix〕
The Harley manuscript was probably written down at Christ Church, Canterbury around 1100, owing to the style of the hand.〔Barlow (ed.), ''Life of King Edward'', pp. xxviii–lxxix; Gransden, ''Historical Writing'', p. 60, n. 126〕 The two centre folios that originally lay between 40 and 41, and 54 and 55 are lost,〔 though their content can be partially reconstructed.〔Barlow (ed.), ''Life of King Edward'', p. xl, n. 117〕 Its recent editor, historian Frank Barlow, thought that it was based on an earlier version of the text at Christ Church Canterbury by 1085; he also believed that other copies, now lost, existed at Westminster Abbey and Bury St Edmunds, from which derivative works were written.〔Barlow (ed.), ''Life of King Edward'', p. lxxx〕
