Gerald of Wales was a Cambro-Norman archdeacon of Brecon and historian. As a royal clerk to the king and two archbishops, he travelled and wrote extensively, he visited Rome several times, meeting the Pope. He was nominated for several bishoprics but turned them down in the hope of becoming bishop of St Davids, but was unsuccessful despite considerable support, his final post was as archdeacon of Brecon, from which he retired to academic study for the remainder of his life. Much of his writing survives. Born c. 1146 at Manorbier Castle in Pembrokeshire, Gerald was of mixed Norman and Welsh descent. Gerald was the youngest son of William FitzOdo de Barry or Barri, the common ancestor of the Barry family in Ireland, a retainer of Arnulf de Montgomery and Gerald FitzWalter of Windsor, one of the most powerful Anglo-Norman barons in Wales, his mother was Angharad FitzGerald, a daughter of Gerald FitzWalter of Windsor, Constable of Pembroke Castle, his wife Nest ferch Rhys, daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, the last King of South Wales.

Through his mother Angharad, Gerald was a nephew of David fitzGerald, Bishop of St David's, as well as a great-nephew of Gruffydd ap Rhys, the son and heir of Rhys ap Tewdwr, a cousin of Rhys ap Gruffydd, the famous Arglwydd Rhys and his family. Gerald received his initial education at the Benedictine house of Gloucester, followed by a period of study in Paris from c. 1165–74, where he studied the trivium. He was employed by Richard of Dover, the Archbishop of Canterbury, on various ecclesiastical missions in Wales, wherein he distinguished himself for his efforts to remove supposed abuses of consanguinity and tax laws flourishing in the Welsh church at the time, he was appointed in 1174 archdeacon of Brecon, to, attached a residence at Llanddew. He obtained this position by reporting the existence of the previous archdeacon's mistress. While administrating this post, Gerald collected tithes of cheese from the populace. Upon the death of his uncle, the Bishop of St David's, in 1176, the chapter nominated Gerald as his successor.

St David's had the long-term aim of becoming independent of Canterbury, the chapter may have thought that Gerald was the man to take up its cause. Henry II of England, fresh from his struggle with Thomas Becket, promptly rejected Gerald because his Welsh blood and ties to the ruling family of Deheubarth made him seem like a troublesome prospect, in favour of one of his Norman retainers Peter de Leia. According to Gerald, the king said at the time: "It is neither necessary or expedient for king or archbishop that a man of great honesty or vigour should become Bishop of St. David's, for fear that the Crown and Canterbury should suffer thereby; such an appointment would only give strength to the Welsh and increase their pride". The chapter acquiesced in the decision. From c. 1179-8, he taught canon law and theology. He spent an additional five years studying theology. In 1180, he received a minor appointment from the Bishop of St. David's. Gerald became a royal clerk and chaplain to King Henry II of England in 1184, first acting mediator between the crown and Prince Rhys ap Gruffydd.

He was chosen to accompany one of the king's sons, John, in 1185 on John's first expedition to Ireland. This was the catalyst for his literary career, he followed it up, shortly afterward, with an account of Henry's conquest of Ireland, the Expugnatio Hibernica. Both works were revised and added to several times before his death, display a notable degree of Latin learning, as well as a great deal of prejudice against a foreign people. Gerald was proud to be related to some of the Norman invaders of Ireland, such as his maternal uncle Robert Fitz-Stephen and Raymond FitzGerald, his influential account, which portrays the Irish as barbaric savages, gives important insight into Anglo-Norman views of Ireland and the history of the invasion. Having thus demonstrated his usefulness, Gerald was selected to accompany the Archbishop of Canterbury, Baldwin of Forde, on a tour of Wales in 1188, the object being a recruitment campaign for the Third Crusade, his account of that journey, the Itinerarium Cambriae was followed by the Descriptio Cambriae in 1194.

His two works on Wales remain valuable historical documents, useful for their descriptions – however untrustworthy and inflected by ideology and his unique style – of Welsh and Norman culture. It is uncertain; as a royal clerk, Gerald observed significant political events at first hand, was offered appointments as bishoprics of Wexford and Leighlin, at a little time the bishopric of Ossory and the archbishopric of Cashel, the Welsh Bishopric of Bangor and, in 1191, that of Llandaff. He turned them all down in the hopes of landing a more prominent bishopric in the future, he was acquainted with Walter Map. Retiring from royal service, he lived in Lincoln from c. 1196 to 1198 where his friend William de Montibus was now chancellor of the Cathedral. It was in this period tha
