The error was first discovered in 1826 by Francis Turner Palgrave , who said that Matthew was "a phantom who never existed," and later the truth of this statement was completely proved by HR Luard . The name appears to have been taken from that of Matthew Paris , from whose ''Chronica majora'' the earlier part of the work was mainly copied, and from Westminster Abbey , where the work was partially written.
