Flor. Wigorn
« on: Monday 23 March 20 10:55 GMT (UK) »
In William Dugdale's "The Antiquities of Warwickshire illustrated" of 1656 on page 87 he gives a pedigree going back to Leofric Earl of Chester. He cites a reference for the earliest part of the pedigree as follows. (It is difficult to read so apologies if I've mis-transcribed it)
Ex. vet. MS id calcem Flor. Wigorn
Can anyone expand on this, in particular who or what is Flor. Wigorn?
I suspect it is something to do with the Saxon Chronicles.
Any help would be appreciated.

An 11th/ 12th century monk from Worcester apparently who seems to have written a History of the World upto 1080!
