The nineteenth-century academic and university administrator Henry
Richards Luard (1825 91) was a major contributor to the Rolls
Series. His edition of the Flores historiarum, published in three
volumes in 1890, remains the standard work. This Latin chronicle,
compiled at St Albans and Westminster, is largely a version of
Matthew Paris's Chronica majora to 1259; subsequent annals are
independent and serve as a significant primary source for the last
years of Henry III and the reigns of Edward I and Edward II.
Following an important introduction describing the surviving
manuscripts and the evolution of the chronicle, Volume 1 contains
the annals from the Creation to 1066. Luard helpfully prints
material derived from the Chronica majora in a smaller typeface,
enabling the reader to distinguish at a glance what the compiler of
the later chronicle has added. English side-notes to the text are
provided throughout.
