ROBERT OF TORIGNI (c. 11Io-1186)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 402 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROBERT OF TORIGNI (c. 11Io-1186) , medieval chronicler, was prior of Bec in 1149, and in '1154 became abbot of Mont
St Michel, whence he is also sometimes called Robertus de Monte. He died, according to Potthast, on the 29th of May 1186. He wrote additions and appendices to the chronicle of
Sigebert
  of Genblours, covering the period A.D. 385-1100, and a chronicle in continuation of
Sigebert
 , extending from Itoo to 1186, of
great
  value for Anglo-Norman history. Robert was in a good position to obtain information, for the Mont St Michel was one of the four
great
  centres of
pilgrimage
  in Europe. But he was excessively timid and cautious, and hardly mentions events, like the murder of Becket, which were subjects of controversy. Besides, his style is that of the driest annalist. It is for continental affairs between 1154 and 1170 that his information is especially valuable. His notices of
English
  affairs are slight and sometimes misleading.
The best
modern
  editions are the Chronique de Robert de Torigni, &c., edited by
Leopold
  Delisle for the Soc. de t'histoire de Normandie (Rouen, 1872-1873), and Chronicle of Robert of Torigni, edited, with an introduction, by Richard Howlett (Rolls
Series
 , No. 82, iv. 1889).
