The Barnwell Chronicle is a thirteenth-century Latin chronicle named after Barnwell Priory, near Cambridge, where the manuscript was kept. The historian J.C. Holt described the Chronicler as "The most intelligent and valuable" and "perceptive" writer of his time. The Chronicler also wrote of the reign of Henry III, regarding the struggle against the rebel barons as a crusade against infidels, and commented upon the increasing French acculturation in Scotland.
