	Roger of Wendover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Wendover is less prejudiced than Paris, but he is also less picturesque, and whereas Paris in his generalizations and inferences as to the causes of events anticipates the scope of the modern historian, Wendover is content to discharge the functions of a simple chronicler.
		The "Flores Historiarum" was edited for the English Historical Society in 1841 by H. Coxe in five volumes, beginning with the year 447, when Wendover for the first time turns directly to the history of Britain.

	Matthew of Westminster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The misunderstanding regarding this imaginary personage originated in the title of a rather late manuscript of this history (Cotton, Claudius, E, 8) which describes the work as "liber qui Flores Historiarum intiulatur secundum Matthaeum monachum Westmonasteriensem".
		This seems to be due to the blunder of some copyist, who, perceiving that the latter part of the chronicle was written at Westminster while the greater portion followed the history of Matthew Paris, concluded that the said Matthew was himself a monk of Westminster.
		The "Flores Historiarum" in its fullest form extends from the Creation to 1326, but many manuscripts stop short at 1306.

	Matthew Of Westminster - LoveToKnow 1911
		The error was first discovered in 1826 by Sir F. Palgrave, who said that Matthew was "a phantom who never existed," and later the truth of this statement was completely proved by H. Luard.
		The name appears to have been taken from that of Matthew of Paris, from whose Chronica majora the earlier part of the work was mainly copied, and from Westminster, the abbey in which the work was partially written.
		The Flores historiarum is a Latin chronicle dealing with English history from the creation to 1326, although some of the earlier manuscripts end at 1306; it was compiled by various persons, and written partly at St Albans and partly at Westminster.

		His great work, the Flores Historiarum, begins at the creation and extends to 1235.

	Roger of Wendover
		The 'Flores Historiarum' (Flowers of History) - a chronicle extending from the Creation to 1235 - was composed by Roger of Wendover (d.c.1236), a monk at St.Albans Abbey.
		It seems that a copyist's misunderstanding of this sequence of events, which appears in a manuscript produced c.1400 (Cotton Claudius E viii), led to the chronicle being attributed to a fictitious Matthew of Westminster.
		Matthew of Westminster's 'Flores Historiarum' was first printed by the archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker, in 1567.

		His name occurs with that of John of London, who, like Robert, is connected with the 'Flores Historiarum,' in the infirmary accounts of the abbey in 1294 and 1298, and again in the list of monks tried on a charge of having plundered the Royal treasury in 1303.
		He was the author of the portion of the 'Flores Historiarum' from 1307 to 1325, which is contained in Chetham MS.
		The feeling, on the whole, is against the King; the writer is strongly opposed to Gaveston, strongly in favour of Thomas of Lancaster." Robert's style is inferior to that of his predecessors, being wordy and bombastic, with occasional insertions of foreign words, Greek, French or English.

	Lady Godiva
		The pioneer Lady Godiva, a title humorously applied to any undraped woman, was apparently the benefactress of several religious houses in the reign of Edward the Confessor, and founded the Benedictine monastery at Coventry.
		Her real name was Godgifu, her legendary ride, as famous and more interesting than Paul Revere’s, first recorded in Flores historiarum by Roger of Wendover (d.1237), who quoted from an earlier writer.
		From 1678 until 1836 the patroness of Coventry was honored by an annual procession commemorating her bareback exhibition — usually held on May 31, weather permitting.

	A History of Mercia
		To further this argument, the Wuffing dynasty is recorded in the Flores Historiarum as not beginning to rule in East Anglia until 571 CE.
		According to the 18th century scholar David Hume (based on earlier works such as Flores Historiarum, Historia Anglorum, and Chronica Majora), Creoda, grandfather of Penda and great grandson of Icel founded the kingdom of Mercia in 585 CE (David Hume, The History of England).
		The medieval chronicles Flores Historiarum, Historia Anglorum, and Chronica Majora all agree that Creoda came to power as a result of the battle of Fehtan Leag in 584 CE between the West Saxons and Britons.

		At the same time I saw something shining on the spot where the wafer had fallen.
		In the thirteenth century the Legend of the Wandering Jew which was probably already widely known on the continent had penetrated into England where its first written account was chronicled at the monastery of St. Albans in the Flores Historiarum ("Flowers of History") by Roger of Wendover.
		When he died in 1235 another monk of St. Albans, Matthew Paris, copied the work of Roger in his Chronica Majora, adding a few notes here and there and completed it in 1252.
