<p><b>Roger of Howden</b> or <b>Hoveden</b> (died 1202) was a <a href="Historians_in_England_during_the_Middle_Ages" title="Historians in England during the Middle Ages">12th-century English chronicler</a>, diplomat and head of the minster of <a href="Howden" title="Howden">Howden</a> in the East Riding of <a href="Yorkshire" title="Yorkshire">Yorkshire</a>.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Roger_and_Howden_minster">Roger and Howden minster</h2></div>
<p>Roger was born to a clerical family linked to the ancient <a href="Howden_Minster" title="Howden Minster">minster of St Peter of Howden</a>, and succeeded his father Robert of Howden as its head, or <i>persona</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The date Roger was appointed to the minster by its patrons, the monks of <a href="Durham_Priory" title="Durham Priory">Durham cathedral priory</a>, has been located as around 1169.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His title of 'magister' is evidence that he received an education at one of the greater schools of his day, as is also evident from his considerable literary output. Not long after succeeding his father he came into conflict with the lord of Howden and the surrounding district of <a href="Howdenshire" title="Howdenshire">Howdenshire</a>, Bishop <a href="Hugh_du_Puiset" class="mw-redirect" title="Hugh du Puiset">Hugh du Puiset</a> of Durham. Bishop Hugh had made grants of <a href="Tithe" title="Tithe">tithes</a> in Howdenshire to the hospital of <a href="Kepier_Hospital" title="Kepier Hospital">Kepier</a> in the city of Durham, ignoring the prior rights of the church of Howden. Roger pushed back with the assistance of the monks of the cathedral priory of Durham, the patrons of the minster, and eventually the bishop withdrew the grant. However, Bishop Hugh did not take the defeat lightly, and retaliated by attempting to remove Roger as minster head, alleging irregularities in his presentation to the post. The case went all the way to Rome and though Roger vindicated his appointment, relations between him and Bishop Hugh remained uneasy for the rest of his life.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Courtier_and_diplomat">Courtier and diplomat</h2></div>
<p>Most of Roger's public career was taken up in service to the Angevin kings of England. A good deal of his activity on behalf of <a href="Henry_II_of_England" title="Henry II of England">Henry II</a> can be reconstructed from his <i>Gesta Henrici Secundi</i> (Deeds of Henry II), which originated as a journal of his time in the royal court. From this can be found evidence that he accompanied the king's embassy to Pope <a href="Pope_Alexander_III" title="Pope Alexander III">Alexander</a> in 1171, and in 1174 was sent from <a href="France" title="France">France</a> on a secret mission to the <a href="Lords_of_Galloway" class="mw-redirect" title="Lords of Galloway">lords of Galloway</a>. In 1175 he appears as a negotiator between the king and a number of English religious houses.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDavis1911455_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDavis1911455-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1180 and 1182–3 he was again at Rome as an English agent in the matter of the disputed election to the see of <a href="Archbishop_of_St_Andrews" title="Archbishop of St Andrews">St Andrews</a> in Scotland. Roger seems from these missions to have acquired a reputation as a reliable agent in ecclesiastical affairs and in Scotland and the borders in particular. He was employed on at least one occasion as a royal justice, serving in 1189 on the assize of the forests in the shires of Yorkshire, <a href="Cumberland" title="Cumberland">Cumberland</a> and <a href="Northumberland" title="Northumberland">Northumberland</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After Henry II's death in 1189 Roger continued in service to his successor, <a href="Richard_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard I">Richard I</a>. In 1195 he was once again involved in a mission to Scotland, and by then his prominence had led to his acquisition of a canon's stall in <a href="Glasgow_Cathedral" title="Glasgow Cathedral">Glasgow Cathedral</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Roger_and_the_Third_Crusade">Roger and the Third Crusade</h2></div>
<p>In 1189 Bishop Hugh du Puiset was appointed with the chancellor, <a href="William_de_Longchamp" title="William de Longchamp">William de Longchamp</a>, by King Richard as joint justiciars to rule England in his absence. By this time Roger and he had a working relationship and Roger can be found accompanying the bishop in his household at the end of 1189 and then across to France. So he was a witness when Longchamp staged a violent coup against Bishop Hugh on his return to England in the early summer of 1190. The bishop was put under house arrest in his residence at Howden. Roger was rapidly commissioned to lead a covert mission to report the outrage to King Richard, who was still at the time in France. His part in the affair was revealed by the recent discovery of the journal of his voyage from Howden to <a href="Marseille" title="Marseille">Marseille</a> in July 1190, where he successfully delivered the bishop's complaint to the king, along with a substantial bribe to get royal writs reversing Longchamp's coup.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Rather than return to Howden, Roger joined the king's retinue and accompanied him to Sicily and Palestine, appearing with a group of fellow Yorkshiremen in a document drafted at the <a href="Siege_of_Acre_(1189%E2%80%931191)" title="Siege of Acre (1189–1191)">siege of Acre</a> in 1191.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Roger returned later that year with the fleet of <a href="Philip_II_of_France" title="Philip II of France">Philip II of France</a> and so did not accompany his own king on his disastrous return voyage.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death">Death</h2></div>
<p>Roger continued his work on his chronicle of England through to 1201, when he was deeply interested in the preaching mission of Abbot Eustace of Flay to England, and indeed records he went to York to hear him. Roger survived into the next year, for the process of appointing a successor to him at Howden minster was under way in September 1202, when rival candidates had begun lawsuits.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historical_works">Historical works</h2></div>
<p>There are two chronicle texts associated with Roger, and though they are clearly related there has been a long academic debate as to whether he authored both. The earlier is the <i>Gesta Henrici II et Gesta Regis Ricardi</i> (Deeds of Henry II and King Richard). It runs from 1169 to 1192 and much of its content is repeated and revised in the <i>Chronica magistri Rogeri de Hoveden</i> (Chronicles of Master Roger of Howden) which offers the story of England before Henry II's reign as well as continuing on until 1201. The earlier text was formerly ascribed to <a href="Benedictus_Abbas" class="mw-redirect" title="Benedictus Abbas">Benedict of Peterborough</a> but the only connection with him is that the abbot was sent by Roger a draft of the work up until 1177 apparently for his comment.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Opinion is now that both works were by Roger and represent different stages of the evolution of the chronicle. It began in 1169 as a journal that he commenced when he joined the royal court. By 1177 Roger had developed ambitions for it and was reframing his <i>Gesta</i> as a more general chronicle of Angevin England. On his return to England in 1191 he decided that it would form the core of an English history, and he began the major revision that produced the <i>Chronica</i>. For English history before 1148 Roger used the text known as the <i>Historia Saxonum sive Anglorum post obitum Bedae</i> (History of the Saxons or English, following on from the death of Bede) which was drafted at Durham cathedral priory using the works of Henry of Huntingdon and Symeon of Durham.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From 1148 to 1170 Roger used the <i><a href="Melrose_Chronicle" class="mw-redirect" title="Melrose Chronicle">Melrose Chronicle</a></i> (edited for the <a href="Bannatyne_Club" title="Bannatyne Club">Bannatyne Club</a> in 1835 by <a href="Joseph_Stevenson" title="Joseph Stevenson">Joseph Stevenson</a>) and a collection of letters bearing upon the <a href="Thomas_Becket" title="Thomas Becket">Thomas Becket</a> controversy. He also employed material from his journal of the <a href="Third_Crusade" title="Third Crusade">Third Crusade</a> for the period 1190–1. As an author Howden is usually impersonal, and makes no pretence to literary style, quotes documents in full and adheres to the annalistic method. His chronology is tolerably exact.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDavis1911455_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDavis1911455-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On foreign affairs and on questions of domestic policy he is very well informed. He abstracted himself entirely from his narrative even when he is known to have been present at what he was recording, as in the mission of 1190 to Marseille. This was clearly his idea as to how the author of a public history should conduct himself. Roger was not without prejudices, however. He disliked King Philip II of France, the enemy of his Angevin masters. He could not bring himself to say anything complimentary of Bishop Hugh du Puiset, whom he had reason to resent. He was outraged at and contemptuous of the impossible conduct of Archbishop <a href="Geoffrey_(archbishop_of_York)" title="Geoffrey (archbishop of York)">Geoffrey of York</a>, his diocesan bishop.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_works">Other works</h2></div>
<p>The discovery in the last decade of the twentieth century in French libraries of two MSS which include three separate tracts which can be associated with Roger of Howden has led to a re-evaluation of his intellectual interests and capacities.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The largest of them is entitled <i>De Viis Maris</i> (On Sea Voyages) and its authorship by Roger is not in doubt. It clearly draws on the same material he used in his historical account of his mission to <a href="Marseille" title="Marseille">Marseille</a> and voyage to <a href="Acre%2C_Israel" title="Acre, Israel">Acre</a>. It is a <a href="Rutter_(nautical)" title="Rutter (nautical)">portolan</a> of a voyage from a landing on the <a href="River_Ouse%2C_Yorkshire" title="River Ouse, Yorkshire">River Ouse</a> near Howden to a transhipment point on the <a href="Humber" title="Humber">Humber</a> and thence around England to <a href="Dartmouth%2C_Devon" title="Dartmouth, Devon">Dartmouth</a>. From there the author shipped around the Iberian peninsula to Marseille. He continued onward down the coast of Italy to Sicily and Messina. The author makes many geographical and historical digressions about seamarks, cities and personalities as he goes, with a clear interest in winds, vessels and expanses of water. Included with this are two other tracts, an <i>Expositio Mappe Mundi</i> (Explanation of the <a href="Mappa_mundi" title="Mappa mundi">Mappa Mundi</a>) and the <i>Liber Nautarum</i> (Book of Mariners). They echo the preoccupations of the <i>De Viis Maris</i> and form one collection with it, though they cannot conclusively be said to be by the same author.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <i>De Viis Maris</i> offers an insight into Roger's personality: a seasoned and sociable traveller, perpetually curious about his world and the cities and peoples he encountered in his extensive travels. The technical aspects of maritime and river transport were plainly a source of fascination to him, not surprisingly in an international diplomat and frequent traveller.
