Piers Langtoft
Piers Langtoft (died ~1307) was a chronicler who originated from Langtoft in
Yorkshire. He was an
Augustinian monk at Bridlington Priory, and wrote his own history of
England in verse. The period covered is up to the death of King
Edward I of England. It is thanks to Langtoft that we know the fate of Gwenllian, daughter of
Llywelyn the Last of Wales.
