The story is told by Gerald of Wales, the royal clerk and scholar who served King Henry II of England. He began writing De instructione principis around the year 1191, making it a part guide on how to be a ruler, and part history of Henry's reign. The work has interested historians as Gerald was in a good position to know of the inner workings of Henry's court as well as receive news coming in from around England.
