.
From the beginning until about 1324 this See also:work is based upon See also:Adam See also:Murimuth's Continuatio chronicarum, but after this date it is valuable and interesting, containing See also:information not found elsewhere, and closing with a See also:good See also:account of the See also:battle of See also:Poitiers

Some doubt exists concerning Geoffrey's See also:share in the compilation of the Vita et mors Edwardi II., usually attributed to Sir Thomas de la More, or See also:Moor, and printed by See also:Camden in his Anglica scripta
.
It has been maintained by Camden and others that More wrote an account of Edward's reign in See also:French, and that this was translated into Latin by Geoffrey and used by him in compiling his Chronicon
.
See also:Recent scholarship, however, asserts that More was no writer, and that the Vita et mors is an See also:extract from Geoffrey's Chronicon, and was attributed to More, who was the author's See also:patron
.
In the See also:main this conclusion substantiates the See also:verdict of See also:Stubbs, who has published the Vita et mors in his See also:Chronicles of the reigns of Edward I. and Edward II
