Polydore Vergil bol taliansky humanista, historik, kňaz a diplomat, ktorý strávil väčšinu svojho života v Anglicku. Jeho práca sa sústreďuje na humanistické myslenie a historický vývoj, pričom jeho prístup je charakteristický pre učencov jeho doby. Ako diplomat a kňaz mal jedinečný vhľad do politických a náboženských záležitostí, ktoré sa odrážajú v jeho spisoch. Jeho celoživotné pôsobenie v Anglicku mu umožnilo sprostredkovať kultúrnu a intelektuálnu výmenu medzi Talianskom a Anglickom.
