e _Annales
Cestrienses_ (to 1297) have been edited by R.C. Christie (Record Soc.
of Lancashire and Cheshire); EDMUND OF HADENHAM'S _Chronicle_ (down to
1307) is given in part in WHARTON'S _Anglia Sacra_, and M. Bemont
publishes in an appendix to his _Simon de Montfort_ (pp. 373-380) a
valuable fragment of a _Chronicle_ of _Battle Abbey_ on the Barons'
Wars, 1258-1265. For the latter part of that period we have some useful
notices in HENRY OF SILEGRAVE's brief _Chronicle_ (ed. Hook, Caxton
Soc., 1849), whose close relationship to the _Battle Chronicle_ M.
Bemont has first indicated. To these may be added the _Annals of
Stanley Abbey_ (1202-1271) in vol. ii. of _Chronicles of Stephen, Henry
II. and Richard I._ (ed. Hewlett, Rolls Series, 1885), and the
_Chronicle_ of the Bury monk, JOHN OF TAXSTER or TAYSTER, which becomes
copious from the middle of the thirteenth century and ends in 1265; it
was partly printed in 1849 by Benjamin Thorpe as a continuation of
Florence of Worcester (English Historical Society), and the years
1258-1262 are best read in Luard's edition of Bartholomew Cotton (Rolls
Series). Taxster's work became the basis of several later compilations
of the eastern counties, including: (i) JOHN OF EVERSDEN, another Bury
monk, independent from 1265 to 1301, also printed without his name by
Thorpe, up to 1295, as a further continuation of Florence. (2) JOHN OF
OXNEAD, a monk of St. Benet's, Hulme, a reputed continuator of Taxster
and Eversden up to 1280, who adds a good deal of his own for the years
1280-1293, edited somewhat carelessly by Sir Henry Ellis as _Chronica
J. de Oxenedes_ (Rolls Series). (3) BARTHOLOMEW COTTON, a monk of
Norwich, whose _Historia Anglicana_, original from 1291 to 1298, and
specially important from 1285 to 1291, is edited by Luard (Rolls
Series). Some thirteenth and early fourteenth century Bury chronicles
are also in _Memorials_ of _St. Edmund's Abbey_, ed. T. Arnold (vols.
ii. and iii., Rolls Series). The _Chronicon de Mailros_ (Bannatyne
Club), from the Cistercian abbey of Melrose, goes to 1270; though
utterly untrustworthy, it may be noticed as almost the only Scottish
chronicle before the war of independence, and as containing a curious
record of the miracles of Simon de Montfort.

Among the historians of Edward I.'s reign is WALTER OF HEMINGBURGH,
Canon of Guisborough in Cleveland (ed. H.C. Hamilton, 2 vols., Engl.
Hist. Soc.). His account of Henry III.'s reign is worthless, but
