About “Carmen de Hastingae proelio”
The Carmen de Hastingae Proelio is a 20th-century name for the Carmen Widonis, the earliest history, in Latin, of the Norman invasion of England from September to December 1066. It is attributed to Guy, Bishop of Amiens, a noble of Ponthieu and monastically trained bishop and administrator close to the French court who later served as a chaplain for Matilda of Flanders, William the Conqueror's queen. Bishop Guy was uncle to Guy I, Count of Ponthieu, who appears prominently in the Bayeux Tapestry as the vassal of Duke William who captured Harold Godwinson, later King Harold II of England, in 1064.
