Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Matthew Paris also wrote another historical work, called The Lesser History, and the greater part of the Chronicle called the History of Matthew of Westminster, the other part of this having been composed by a Westminster monk, named John Bevere 1 None of the Middle Age writers of our history is more interesting, and, for the most part, more trustworthy and fair, than Matthew Paris.

But it must be remembered that as one of a body to whom Grosseteste was especially severe, he is inclined to bear rather hardly upon the bishop.

On the other hand the bishop's opposition to Rome called forth his warm admiration, for Matthew Paris wrote in a thoroughly national spirit.
