Reginald Lane Poole or Lane-Poole, FBA (1857–1939), was a British historian. He was Keeper of the Archives and a lecturer in diplomatics at the University of Oxford, where he gave the Ford Lectures in 1912 on the subject of "The Exchequer in the Twelfth Century".

Life

The second of three children (two sons and a daughter) of Edward Stanley Poole (1830–1867) and his wife, Roberta Elizabeth Louisa (1828–1866), daughter of Charles Reddelien, a naturalized German, the "Lane" in his surname comes from his paternal grandmother Sophia Lane Poole, author of An Englishwoman in Egypt (1844). Both his mother and father died during his childhood, so Poole and his siblings were raised by their grandmother Sophia Lane Poole and their great-uncle Edward William Lane. He was the father of Austin Lane Poole (1889–1963), also a historian and Ford's Lecturer; the brother of the orientalist Stanley Lane-Poole; and the nephew of Reginald Stuart Poole.

Works

Among other works, he edited a Political History of England (twelve volumes, 1905–10) with William Hunt.

His works include:

• History of the Huguenots of the Dispersion (1880)
• Sebastian Bach (1882)
• Illustrations of the History of Medieval Thought (1884)
• Wycliffe and Movements for Reform (1889)
• Historical Atlas of Modern Europe (1897–1902)
