Roger of Wendover
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
Roger of Wendover d. c.1236, English chronicler, a monk of St. Albans. As historiographer of St. Albans, he began the Flores historiarum (see Matthew of Westminster ), a general chronicle starting with the creation. He drew the material from 1192 to 1201 from Roger of Hoveden , but that from 1201 to 1235 is original. His work contains many fantastic and distorted stories and judgments hostile to King John. He is in large part responsible for the negative picture of John (perpetuated by Matthew of Paris ) that has come down through history.
