of Malmesbury William

“The dread of enemies, a woman of enlarged soul.””

“What task could be more agreeable than to tell of the benefits conferred on us by our ancestors, so that you may get to know the achievements of those from whom you have received both the basis of your beliefs, and the inspiration to conduct your life properly?””

“our long-haired gallants, who, forgetting what they were born, transform themselves into the fashion of females, by the length of their locks.””
