About This Book

A contemporary chronicle recounts the life and troubled reign of a medieval king, tracing political decisions, military actions, and the controversies that produced loss of authority and eventual exile. The narrative surveys conflicting reports from earlier historians, weighs sources, and presents both commendations of personal virtues and criticisms of administrative neglect. Accompanied by prologues, official approbations, editorial notes and a list of errata, the work offers a concise, source-conscious account intended to clarify disputed episodes while preserving the documentary tone of the original records.
