He also wrote *De astronomia* and the *Canones de coniunctionibus, oppositionibus et eclipsibus solis et lunae*. As a historian, he wrote the *Annales sex regum Angliae qui a comitibus Andegav.* originem traxerunt* (ed. L. d’Achery, *Spicilegium*, VIII, Paris, 1669 and Th. Hog, London, 1845), a *Historia ab origine mundi ad Christum natum*, and some chronicles of the diocese. As a philosopher and theologian, besides the commentary on the *De consolatione philosophiae* and an *Extractio ex Politicis Arist.*, he commented on various parts of the Bible and the first three books of the *Sentences*, wrote six *Quodlibeta* and some *Quaestiones disputatae*, a *De officio missae* and a *Scutum veritatis contra impugnantes statum perfectionis*. He was a staunch defender of Thomism both within and outside his Order.
