His edition of the Flores historiarum, published in three volumes in 1890, remains the standard work. This Latin chronicle, compiled at St Albans and Westminster, is largely a version of Matthew Paris's Chronica majora to 1259; subsequent annals are independent and serve as a significant primary source for the last years of Henry III and the reigns of Edward I and Edward II. Volume 2 contains the annals from 1067 to 1264 and thus an important series of independent annals covering [tel] and the Second Barons' War. Earlier, where the chronicle cannot be considered a primary source, Luard helpfully prints material derived from the Chronica majora i.
