Between 1863 and 1876, the Rolls Series published several works
from or about the abbey of St Albans, edited by Henry Thomas Riley
(1816 78) under the rubric 'Chronica Monasterii S. Albani'. William
Rishanger was a monk at the abbey in the second half of the
thirteenth century, but the canon of his writings is still not
definitively established as the manuscripts were rebound several
times, and much of his output was reworked in later medieval texts.
Several items attributed to him in this 1865 publication are
preserved, uniquely, in MS. Cotton. Claudius D. vi. The texts
record events from Henry III's peace treaty with France in 1259 to
the coronation of Robert the Bruce and the English invasion of
Scotland in 1306. They include fascinating details about political
alliances, ecclesiastical promotions, and the Templars. The Latin
texts are accompanied by English side-notes, an introduction, a
glossary and an index.
