description: "William of Malmesbury was the foremost English historian of the 12th century. Modern historian C. Warren Hollister described him as \"a gifted historical scholar and an omnivorous reader, impressively well versed in the literature of classical, patristic, and earlier medieval times as well as in the writings of his own contemporaries. Indeed William may well have been the most learned man in twelfth-century Western Europe.\""
