	§4. Florence of Worcester. IX. Latin Chroniclers from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries. Vol. 1. From the ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Florence’s work is notable as being the first attempt in England at a universal history beginning with the creation and embracing within its compass all the nations of the known world.
		Florence’s account of his own times, which closes with the year 1117, possesses much independent value, and was largely drawn upon by subsequent chroniclers.
		The task of still further extending Florence’s chronicle seems to have become a special concern of the monks of St. Edmundsbury, for it is to two inmates of that house that we owe two other additions to it which continue the record, without a break, down to the very end of the thirteenth century.

		The land was finally returned to the monks in 1217, although the dispute between castle and Priory was not ended until Henry III confirmed the Priory’s holding in 1232.
		Of course the church stood as much to loose from this rebellion as did the Norman sheriff, and this incident serves to highlight both Worcester’s strategic importance and the extent of Wulfstan’s political influence.
		Wulfstan, who was the first Bishop of Worcester to live outside the Priory, may have lived within a building whose surviving pre-13th century elements are still visible in the hall built by Bishop Giffard (1268-1302), in the north-western part of the close, which became the Bishop’s Palace.

	Resources - Potted History of Worcester - The Norman Conquest
		Soon after the Norman invasion, and shortly before 1069, the newly appointed Sheriff of Worcestershire, Urse d’Abitot, built a motte and bailey castle in the area south of the Cathedral, probably incorporating, if not replacing, the earlier defensive ditches which had ringed this end of the river terrace.
		As part of this project Wulstan increased the monastic community from 12 to 50 (in 1104 this number had reached 61), most of whom would have held property (messuages) within the town to support the monastic community.
		A further suburb developed between Newport Street and Dolday down towards the river bridge, with the church of St Clement (founded c.1164) on the waterfront on the north side of this (the church was demolished in 1823, its present namesake now on the west bank of the river on Henwick Road).

		Neither Simeon of Durham nor Florence of Worcester can be called a historian in any high sense.
		The earlier portions of the chronicle which bears Simeon’s name are, indeed, embellished with frequent poetical quotations, but the work, as a whole, is as barren of literary ornament as that of Florence.
		Literature of a somewhat richer colour, and history of a higher order, are found in the writings of two of their contemporaries, one, like them, a pure Englishman, the other a Norman born on English soil—Eadmer and Ordericus Vitalis.

		Further, there is in Florence of Worcester’s Chronicle a reference to certain Dicta regis Aelfredi, whereby the Handbook may possibly be meant.
		There would, however, be no justification for identifying the Dicta with the Handbook, were it not for the fact that Malmesbury uses the latter as an authority for the life of Aldhelm.
		But no importance whatever is to be attached to Florence of Worcester’s suggestion that the Handbook was a record of West Saxon genealogy.
