What did Pseudo-Ingulf write that is an important primary source for English medieval history, particularly the late 15th century?
Pseudo-Ingulf Pseudo-Ingulf is the name given to an unknown English author of the "Historia Monasterii Croylandensis", also known as the Croyland Chronicle. Nothing certain is known of Pseudo-Ingulf although it is generally assumed that he was connected with Croyland Abbey.
Sir Isumbras Sir Isumbras is a medieval metrical romance written in Middle English and found in no fewer than nine manuscripts dating to the fifteenth century. This popular romance must have been circulating in England before 1320, because William of Nassington, in his work "Speculum Vitae", which dates from this time, mentions feats of arms and other 'vanities', such as those found in stories of "Sir Guy of Warwick", "Bevis of Hampton", "Octavian" and "Sir Isumbras". Unlike the other three stories, the Middle English "Sir Isumbras" is not a translation of an Old French original.
