About De principis instructione
De principis instructione, translated variously as Instruction for a Ruler or The Instruction of Princes is a medieval Latin treatise on kingship by Gerald of Wales. The first distinction, or book, takes the form of a traditional "mirror for princes", centred on the difference between a good prince and a tyrant. The second and third present a narrative of Henry II's rise and fall, framed through divine providence and a wheel of fortune, and constitute a sustained polemic against him and the Angevin dynasty.
