He was the author of a See also:chronicle extending from Io66 to 1289, which is printed among the monastic See also:annals edited by H. R. Luard for the " Rolls " See also:Series. He gives an See also:account of the barons' See also:war from a royalist standpoint, and is a severe critic of See also:Montfort's policy. He is of some value for the reign of See also:Edward I. His See also:work is closely connected with the Oseney Annals, which are printed parallel with his work by Luard, but from 1258 to 1278 Wykes is an See also:independent authority. See H. R. Luard's Annales monastici, vol. iv. (1869) ; and earlier edition in See also:Gale's Scriptores quinque, pp. 21-128.
