This universal chronicle by Cluny monk Richard of Poitiers (d. 1174) openly acklowledges its debt to earlier authors. Reporting on the existence of Christians in Asia, Richard claims the existence of Christian kings "beyond the Medes and Persians," a phrase that can be found in Otto of Freising's Historia de duabus civitatibus.
