RIGORD (c. 1150-c. 1209)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 343 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIGORD (c. 1150-c. 1209) , French chronicler, was probably born near Alais in
Languedoc
 , and became a physician. After-wards becoming a monk he entered the monastery of Argenteuil, and then that of St Denis, and described himself as regis Francorum chronographus. Rigor wrote the Gesta
Philippi
  Augusti, dealing with the life of the French king, Philip
Augustus
 , from his
coronation
  in 1179 until 1206. The
work
 , which is very valuable, was abridged and continued by William the
Breton
  (q.v.). The earlier part of the Gesta speaks of the king in very laudatory terms, but in the latter part it is much less flattering in its tone. It is published in tome xvii. of Dom Bouquet's Recueil des historiens des Gaules et de la France (Paris, 17381876); and with introduction by H. F.
Delaborde
  (Paris, 188285). A French
translation
  of the Gesta is in tome xi. of Guizot's Collection des memoires relatifs d l'histoire de France (Paris, 1825). Rigord also wrote a short chronicle of the kings of France.
See A. Potthast, Bibliotheca historica (Berlin, 1896) ; and A. Molinier, Les Sources de l'histoire de France, tome iii. (Paris, 1903).
