ALBERIC OF THE THREE FOUNTAINS (Trois-Fontaines, Diocese of Châlons-sur-Marne). - Cistercian, d. after 1241, author of a universal chronicle (Chronicon) from the creation of the world to the year 1241.

He drew on a great number of sources, many of which are preserved, while some have been lost. The work, interpolated before 1295 by Maurice, regular canon of Neufmoustier near Huy, often lacks critical judgment and therefore has only relative value, except for the last 20 years. The chronicle was edited with a critical introduction by P. Scheffer-Boichorst, in MGH, Scriptores, XXIII, Hannover 1874, pp. 631-950.
