Glanvil, Or Glauville, Raunff de, chief justiciary of England in the reign of Henry II., died in 1190. He was of Norman descent, signalized his valor under Henry II. in repelling the invasion of England by William of Scotland, accompanied Richard I. on the crusade, and perished at the siege of Acre. To him is ascribed the Tractatus de Legibus Consuetudinis Regni Anglioe, Tempore Regis Henrici Secundi, first published in London in 1554. Some of the manuscripts say only that it was written in his time, without ascribing it to him. The best edition is that by John Wilmot (1780); English translation by John Beames (1812).
