This article appears in Volume V16, Page 178 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LANGTOFT, PETER (d. c. 1307) , English chronicler, took his name from the
village
  of Langtoft in Yorkshire, and was a canon of the Augustinian priory in Bridlington. His name is also given as Langetoft and Langetost. He wrote in French verse a Chronicle dealing with the history of England from the earliest times to the death of
Edward
  I. in 1307. It consists of three parts and contains about 9000 rhyming verses. The earlier part of the Chronicle is taken from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other writers; for the period dealing with the reign of
Edward
  I. Langtoft is a contemporary and valuable authority, esuecially for affairs in the north of England and in
Scotland
 . Langtoft's Chronicle seems to have enjoyed considerable popularity in the north, and the latter part of it was translated into English by Robert Mannyng, sometimes called Robert of Brunne, about 1330. It has been edited for the Rolls
Series
  by T.
Wright
  (18661868).
