Ranulf Higdon

Ranulf Higdon was a writer who lived a long time ago. He wrote a book called "Polychronicon", which was very popular in England during the Middle Ages. It was a history book that talked about the different kings and queens of England, and the things that happened during their reigns. It also talked about other important events in history, like wars and battles.

Ranulf Higdon was born in the town of Cheshire in England, and he lived there for most of his life. He studied at a school called Oxford University, where he learned how to read and write very well. After finishing school, he became a priest and started writing his book.

The book "Polychronicon" was written in Latin, which was a language that was used by educated people at the time. It was so popular that many people wanted to read it, but not everyone could understand Latin. So, some scholars decided to translate the book into English, so that more people could read it.

Ranulf Higdon is remembered today as an important writer who helped preserve the history of England during the Middle Ages. His book "Polychronicon" is still studied by historians and students today to learn about what life was like in England a long time ago.
