England: Odin as Woden represented as a crowned English ancestral figure surrounded by his royal descendants. Historia Anglorum< / i>, Archdeacon Henry of Huntingdon,12th century

Henry of Huntingdon (c. 1088 – c. 1157), the son of a canon in the diocese of Lincoln, was a 12th-century English historian who served as archdeacon of Huntingdon. The few details of Henry's life that are known originated from his own works and from a number of official records. He was brought up in the wealthy court of Robert Bloet of Lincoln, who became his patron. At the request of Bloet's successor, Alexander of Lincoln, Henry began to write his Historia Anglorum, first published around 1129, an account of the history of England from its beginnings up to the year 1154.
