Vital Orderic
Vital Orderic , born the February 16th 1075 with Atcham in England and died towards 1142 with Saint-Évroult in Normandy, is a Moine and Historien Normand.
Wire of a French who had taken part in the Conquête of England with William the Conqueror, Orderic Vital passed his early childhood in the Shropshire.
To the ten years age, he is entrusted to the monastery of Saint-Évroult where he will pass the remainder of his life.
In 1091 he becomes sub-deacon, in 1093 he is Diacre and, in 1108, he receives the priesthood.
It was copyist and one knows that it reproduced the Historia ecclesiastica of Bède Worthy the or the Gesta Normannorum Ducum ( Geste of the Ducs of Normandy ) of Guillaume de Jumièges. But it is especially known for its own writings, its Historia ecclesiastica through which it claims to cover the universal history of the year 1 with 1142, but the essence of its text relates to and the Anglo-Norman world (France, England and Italy). It is the Norman historian Auguste Prévost which will publish for the first time this text, whose French translation will be carried out by François Guizot.
