	Roger of Wendover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roger claims in his preface to have selected "from the books of catholic writers worthy of credit, just as flowers of various colours are gathered from various fields." Hence he called his work Flores Historiarum—a title appropriated in the 14th century to a long compilation by various hands.
		Roger of Wendover’s work is, however, now valued not so much for what he culled from previous writers as for its full and lively narrative of contemporary events, from 1216 to 1235.
		The best edition of Wendover is that of HO Coxe (4 vols, London, 1841-1824); there is another (from 1154) in the Rolls Series by HG Hewlett (3 vols, 1886-1898).

	Roger of Wendover
		At some uncertain date he became a monk of St Albans; afterwards he was appointed prior of the cell of Belvoir, but he forfeited this dignity in the early years of Henry III, having been found guilty of wasting the endowments.
		Wendover's work is known to us through one 13th century manuscript in the Bodleian Library (Douce manuscript 207), a mutilated 14th century copy in the British Museum (Cotton manuscript Otho B. v.), and the edition prepared by Matthew Paris which forms the first part of that writer's Chronica Majora (ed.
		Wendover is a copious but inaccurate writer, less prejudiced but also less graphic than Matthew Paris.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roger of Wendover
		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.

		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.
		Roger's work was rewritten, embellished and extended, to 1259, by another monk of St.Albans, Matthew Paris (d.1259), to form his 'Chronica Majora' (Great Chronicle).
		Roger's original work does still exist, however, and it is the translation by J.A Giles (first published in 1849) which is used on this website.

		King John (1199-1216) was forced by rebellious barons to sign the Great Charter (Magna Carta) in June 1215.
		The king's messengers then came in all baste to London, and without deceit reported to the barons all that had been deceitfully imposed on them; they in their great joy appointed the fifteenth of June for the king to meet them, at a field lying between Staines and Windsor.
		At length, after various points on both sides had been discussed, king John, seeing that be was inferior in strength to the barons, without raising any difficulty, granted the underwritten laws and liberties, and confirmed them by his charter.

		The Chronicler, Roger of Wendover, writes that Rochester was restored to Langton on 15 June 1215, after a peace treaty was arranged between John and the rebel barons.
		Wendover tells us that the rebels seized Rochester in order to block King John's approach to London and their commander was named as William de Albini of Belvoir.
		During the civil war between King Henry III and a party of rebel barons led by Simon de Montfort, Rochester was held for the king by the Constable, Roger de Leybourne.

	Offa of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 794, Offa took over East Anglia after the murder of its king, Aethelbert.
		The circumstances of this are unclear, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle simply states that "Offa, King of Mercia, ordered Aethelberht's head to be struck off." Roger of Wendover later gave an account of the event in which Aethelbert was killed through the treachery of Offa's wife Cynethryth, but his account may be entirely legendary.
		Like most Mercian rulers of the period, Offa was often in conflict with the various Welsh kingdoms.

		Geoffrey and his son William were at the same time accused of involvement in the assassination and fined for siding with the murdered knight against the king.

		Some critics have supposed, but on inconclusive evidence, that Wendover copied, up to 1189, an earlier compilation, the work of John de Cella, the twenty-first abbot of St Albans (1195- 1214).

		Her nunnery was disbanded in 1042, just a year before the foundation of Coventry's great priory by Leofric, Earl of Mercia and his wife Godgifu, otherwise known as Lady Godiva.
		The legend was recorded at the beginning of the thirteenth century by Roger of Wendover, yet there is no history to help us understand why Godiva, a wealthy woman, should agree to her husband's proposal that she should ride through the streets of Coventry naked.
		Starley died in 1881 and a monument of him can be found at the end of Warwick Row.

		And in this anger he chased Brother Roger Templar from the office of Almoner and ordered him to leave the court; and on other excuses which he found he laid new traps for the Templars and Hospitallers.
		Matthew tells a story of a good French knight in the Holy Land who was insulted by one of his rivals - he called him ‘fugitivus et victus,’ (fleeing and conquered: = coward) which is in French ‘recreant,’ and this word is the greatest insult among them - his son then slew the insulter.

		Regrettably, though, the story of Lady Godiva's ride is almost certainly a myth.
		The earliest written record of it comes from one Roger of Wendover more than a century after Godiva's death.
		This medieval scribe is renowned for his exaggeration and politically biased embellishment; more a collector of stories and legends than genuine historian.
