The most important of his writings is the Narratio de bellis apud See also:Lewes et See also:Evesham . Though written many years afterwards and See also:drawn from other See also:sources, it is a spirited See also:account of the barons' See also:war . He is so See also:great an admirer of See also:Simon de See also:Montfort that this See also:work has been called a hagiography . He is credited with the authorship of a See also:chronicle covering the See also:period 1259-1306; this has been disputed, but the work is printed under his name by See also:Riley . Another work of his, of not much importance, is a chronicle entitled Recapitulatis brevis de gestis domini Edwardi, &c . He is probably not the author of other See also:works commonly attributed to him . AuruoRITIEs.—Wilhelmi See also:Rishanger chronica et annales, Rolls See also:Series, Introduction ed . H . T .
