Gerald of Wales (also known as Giraldus Cambrensis or Gerald de Barri) was an influential twelfth-century cleric and author of a range of Latin works addressing contemporary politics, monastic life, his own biography, and perhaps most famously, the ethnography and history of Wales and Ireland. This talk addresses Gerald’s background, education, reception, and significance, focusing in particular on how his writings have influenced our understanding of twelfth-century life.
